Good Reasons.

Governor Johnson, of Pennsylvania. gives
the following Twelve reasons for supporting
-Gen. Taylor:
|, He will be bound by the Constitution
and by the Constitution as it is expounded ana
explained by the judiciary of the United States
2. lie will be bound TO take for his guide IN
his administration of the National Government
the rules and doctrines established and held by
our first Presidents.
3. He will enter Office without pledges that
he may BE- free to carry out the wishes OF the
people as expressed by their representatives.
4 He will not attempt TO influence the actlon
of Congress by ioreshpdowing his own peculiar
notions on mooted questions OF doubtful policy,
further than required by the Constitution nor
will he permit his cabinet TO do so.
+. He will not embarrass tho action OF the
peoples representatives, or defeat their will by
the exercise Of the Veto power, other than IN
cases Of extreme hasty legislation, or clear vio-
Iation Of the Constitution.
6. He will faithfully carry out the wishes OF
the people as expressed through their represen-
tatives on the subject of the Tariff, and if the
Wings succeed in giving to the country the
, principles Of the Tariff act Of 1842 by the re-
peal Of the Tariff act Of l646 he will sanction
! their legislation.
7. He will not veto or prevent the passage o
, laws passed by Congress in reference 10 Slavery
or the improvement of rivers and harbors, oI
any othel matter that consttutionally belongs
9 to them TO settle.
' 8. He will prevent and overthrow all schemes
and plans for The conquest of other nations 1e
c these States.

Iy twice as many. We have not the popular
vote of Soulh Carolina, Texas and Iowa, nor
that of Florida and Wisconsin. That IN the
% other gtates, however. is sufficient for our
purpose. The two tied States gave vote ol
about $4,000.
OF tbe IS Democratic States, all but siT are

Our conclusion from the above facts IS this
lf the Van Burenites succeed in their Object
and defeat an election by the people, the .ttteeR
States having Democratic representatives viii
control the election of President. The nine
slave States will control the six free States, and
Cass will Just as certainly getthe vote as that he
will be returned 10 the House! To our minds,
there is not particle Of doubt as TO this result.
The Van Bureniles. who profess nolc to be the
only advocates Of Free Soil, and the only opPo-
nents of the extension of slavery will then have
the satisfaction Of knowing that, by the means
of their third rartyiSm, they have putt in the
power Of slave States, controlling only il9 e.
ectoruI votes. and a popular vote Of only abou,
100000, TO elect a slavery extension President
and this in opposition to free States which con
troll 156 electoral votes, a popular vote ol no
less than l,7O0,000l
Le,the people reflect upon the above startling
facts. Let Them remember the result OF hHc
rariuiSm in l944. and see what it must be nov
liz Van Burenism, under the prelence Of Fret
Soil. achieves its object Of defeating the cleo
lion. Letthem see TO il, that nine Democratic
slave States, which are not entitled altogether Il
single electoral vote more than are the thre'
free States of New York, Pennsylvania, an'
MASSACHUSETTS, be not permiued to elect Pres
dent who is pledged TO veto any bill that shal
prohibit slavery in the new territories.

No member cf the party is accountable for
the selection of its candidates, further than he
may have acted or rolrained from acting IN their
selection. " hen the selection has been made,
all that remains is TO decide whether The party
still deserves his support in preference TO It's ad'

without endangering he present success and ul-
innate usefulness of the Wing parry. II II be
defeated, the policy OF the present Admlnlslra'
ZION will prevail; not only now but for an lnde-
finite period. No Wing thinks for one moment
of voling for the nominees of the Baltimore
Convention; but we are tempted to cast our sui
