JUDGE McLEAN.-It is rumored, in Ger.
tain circles, that Judge Mclean has agreed
to accept nomination for the Presidency
to be made by the Buffalo Convention.
This rumor, we have no doubt, is altogeth-
er groundless. Judge Mclean has been
absent on the Circuit for several weeks, but
we do not believe he has done or said any
thing to encourage those engaged in the
third party movement to expect the aid of
his name; nor do we believe be will, in any
way, identify himself with their organiza-
tion.-Cin. Gaz.
1t is we'll known in this city,where Judge
Mclean has been attending court for two
weeks, that he did not attempt to conceal
his chagrin and disappointment at the nom-
ination of Gen. Taylor. We happen to
know that he is greatly dissatisfied, and
will not support his election. That he told
a gentleman from Ohio, that he would, if
nominated by theBuffalo Convention, accept,
is we'll known, and will not be authoritive.

hearing ofseveral, and among the number
prominent whig, that the whig party had
been dissolved by the action Of the whie
convention. We repeat, he favors the
third party movement, and will support the
Buffalo nomination, if a proper man is Sc

PEELED to abandon their old principles and

which the government would be administer

their entrenchment behind one falsehood
than they Immediately take shelter beneath

ings over the defeat Of their long cherished
and darling schemes-no longer are. heard
their mutterings at the 'ruino and distress
which were to be visited upon our beloved
land in consequence of the triumph Of DEM

the democratic policy. No wish is nov ex-
pressed (unless by few isolated lnd!vldu-

turb the tariff law of 1916, and to resussi'

s'ruin' that would attend the establishment
of the measures of the Democratic party,
they are forced to the admission that they
had been attempting to deceive the people
for the purpose Of obtaining power. But
these prophecies Of ruin can avail them no
longer, and they are compelled to resort 10
other means to prop up their sinking craft,
and they resort to slandering and belieing
the candidates of their political adversa-
ries. This is similar game TO that Prac-
. .liced by them in ls4O, when they abandon
their principles and Fstooped TO conquer.
They then circulated from one extreme oil
the Union to the other the most foul SIAN
ders against the deraocrotic candidates, they
succ seded in obtaining power, and while
they were yet warm in their seats, they at
tempted to galvanize and resuscitate the
old corrupt and putrid carcass of the United
States Bank, and that after it had been re-
peatedly condemned by the people, and TO
.fasten upon the country the measures OF
the federal party which were so obnoxious
to the great mass Of the American people
that the party dared not openly avow them
and rely upon them for success. The same
is their position in the present contest, and
as then, they cloak their principles from
ssthe public eyer and resort to traducing
and belieing the candidates of the democra-
cy. Should they unfortunately by this
means obtain power, they will then use it
for the purpose of again establishing their
obnoxious policy. Does any one suppose
that the intelligent freemen of the Union
will again be deceived and abandon the
government into the hands Of the enemy
of democratic principles? Upon this suppo-
sition alone does the federal party build its
hopes oil success; yet, the fact that they
dare not proclaim to the world the princi-
pies Of their party, or take issue with the
Democracy upon the principles which they
have fearlessly and boldly proclaimed, is
evidence that they know thathat the mass
of the people are with the Democracy.
There should be no hesitancy in the mind
of any man as to which of these parties
he will support-the one openly and man.
fully proclaiming its principles, and with
full confidence in the justice Of their cause
the other, proclaiming no principles, but
silly and insidiously seeking power through
the means Of deception and fraud.

Webster made a speech, in which he said:
"[n the dark and troubled night that is
upon us, see no star above the horizon,
promising light to guide us, but the intelli-
gent, patriotic, united whig party of the
United States.'

Mexico, it must CO ne into the Union as
tree territory; and the important question
arises whether Congress have power to
make it slave territory.
No question is better settled in this
country than that slavery exists in State
by virtue of the local law; that the power
over the subject is exclusively vested in
the State, and that Congress, except as to
the recapture of slaves can exercise NO
power over it.

The Difference.

There has been great enquiry made
to find out the difference between whig
and IN ultra whig, ever since Gen. Tay-
lor declared that he was the one but not
the other. There are, no doubt, two kinds
of wings. For instance: There are kind
who, though they adhere to the doctrines
Of the whig party, have stood by the coun-
try in the war with Mexico. This is.
probably the kind Of whig which General
Tay lor meant he 1ras. There is another
kind who opposed the country in the war,
who were opposed to furnishing supplies
for carrying it on, who advised the Mexi.
cans to welcome our brave soldiers "with
bloody hands to hospitable graves" and
that is the kind of ultra arhig that General
Taylor said he was not. That is the only
difference perceivable between whig and
an ultra whig. 1t must be acknowledged
that there is striking difference-the one
is as superior to the other as saint is su-
perior to the prince Of darkness, and how
they can anna gamate we capnot account
for in our poor philosophy.
g One Of the strong reasons urged by
the federal politicians against the election
Of Gen. Cass is, that he entertains strong
prejudice and hatred to England, and that
he will strive to bring about war between
the two countries. Now, can these federal
politicians tell how long it is since they
charged Gen. Cass, and all the Democratic
members of Congress with using their off.
cial influence to favor and enrich England,
and in opposition and to the injury of their
own country, by voting for the repeal Of
the 'protectire' tariff of 1912, and to insti-
tute the revenue one Of 1916? We pause
for reply.
Did Gen. Cass love his own contry less
and England more he would be the very
man for this party Of modern Judases to
support; but he has ever been the firm, un-
yielding advocate and defender of his coun.
try's rights, honor, and interest. Federal.
ism can never forgive him for rallying to
the standard of his country in the war Of
1912, for defending the freedom of the seas
against British usurpation, and for standing
firmly and faithfully by his country in her
struggle with Mexico.
