HIT 'EM AGAIN. FoRNEY!

The Editor of the Philadelphia Pennsylvania
sums up the following " fatal admissions on the
part of Whiggery:
'sThe incapacity of the Federal candidate for the
Presidency, has been repeatedly admitted by himself
His ineXperience has also been time and again ad
mitted by himself.
Mr.. Webster admits that Taylor is a mere soldier
and has had no training in civil affairs.
Mr.. Crittenden admits that Taylor never voted.
Mr.. Greeley admits that Taylor is ashamed oi
Whig principles.
Ali the Wings admit that Taylor was first nomi.
mated by the Nativists.
Mr.. Bolts admits that Taylor is for adding more
territory to the Union
Willis Hall and Dudley Selden admit that Taylor
was nominated by fraud!
And yet the people asked to vote for this can
ddate for President
And what is than all, Taylor admits that he
even voted in his life, though he is seeking
the Presidency, with face for the North and
other for the South, with his commission as Major
General still in his acket-his epaulettes on his
shoulders and his sword at his side If not ss ul
ira Whig' he is certainly the most {" ultra - and
aordinary candidate presented for the Presden
cy. What say honest North Carolina Whigs2 Are
they all ready to go for Taylor, who stands for
Availability, and Fillmore, who represents the dark
hosts of Abolitionism Availability and Abolition
Taylor and Fillmore There is the ticket, gentle
men-what say you1 Have you shut your ears
against all reports, the Register advised you to
do several weeks since, and made up your minds to
go for this ticket at venture? We think not. We
hear, almost every day. from honest Wings, who de-
clare they will not vote at all and we understand
there are others who are inclined sustain Taylor
but who say they cannot and will not vote for Fill
more. Remember! that Availability and Abolition
are and ndivisibe; and that you vote for
Taylor without at the same time voting for and
dorsing Millard Fillmore.

late number of the Raleigh Register makes the
following pathetic and mournfu appeal to the Wings
of North Carolina:
'sAre you a Whig-a'NoRrH CAROLINA WH1e ?
If so then was it not your uke-warmness-your cul-
pable apathy, which near losing our glorious
old State to the Whig cause In the recent election
Had you done your duty, had you labored as you
should have labored, had you given day or two to
the common cause, had you persuaded your Wing
neighbors to go to the polls and gone yourself, not
with the determination SGuTter about, and almost
forget to vote, but with the resolution to aoork-
work-work-0H day, until the going down of the
sun, then we should not be under the mortIhca-
ton OF seeing majority put down at the meagre
number of 874 but triumph would have been
hailed throughout the whole Union! Do you intend
to act in the same way again! Do you intend again
to be on your back, and suffer the enemy to remove
you? If you do, go and write down your own and
your States disgrace! If motif you intend to re-
deem your character and her character, then go
to work. and continue at it until Tuesday night, the
seventh of November next!'
Is this Taylorism! Why, thought every body
was to vote for old Zach, and that "spontaneous
combustion,'' Of itself, to do the work. But it
seems the Taylor b'hoys'' have been '' saunter-
ing about" when they ought to have been voting
Boys, you hadn't ought to do 500 We tell you,
in dead earnest, that you GO hadn't Oughter.''
But hear Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, on
the same subject. Having been invited to speak at
Chilacothe, he replies as follows:
GENTLEMEN Yours of the 25th is received.
am much urged to go to Indiana, well as to New
York, but ,Uish to be aOih you, and think will,
on the 9th. From thence l go to New York, &c.
My judgment is, that if do not succeed, the
experiment of free government has failed. If Cass
be elected, we shall have corruption of the basest
kind, and and blood: If Van Bpren succeed, THE
UNION WILL DISSOLVED, and and anarchy,
and despOtiSm follow. God deliver us from both
We and aUiA succeed, if we do our duty. I ,uiH
do mine; and, if l had voice loud rattng
thunder, would wake up the people, from Maine to
Texas. Yours truly,
LESLIE COOMBS''
This same Gen. Coombs promised in 1874, in case
Mr.. Clay was not elected, that he would climb a
creased pole, feet foremost. When do you expect
to do it, Leslie?

GEN. TAYLoR's " HORSE LETTER >,

The New Orleans Delta publishes the following
letter from Gen. Taylor written time when there
was ground for apprehending difficulty be-
tween this country and Great Britain. At that day,

know whether Maj. Bliss was in or OUT the old Gen
eral s' some'' on the 4" "achiches." No one can

MY DEAR MAJOR: Your highly esteemed letter of

Col. Wynn, of Lafayette county, Ark, to you, Of
the oath of the month, has just reached me-
While feel much fattered, we'll proud, for the
ColoneFs q fear) favorable opinion of my public
services and especially for the handsome manner he
has been pleased to notice the same, accompanied by
the proffer of fine highbred charger, arHich re-
gret TO say; such is the difficulty of getting an AMI
NAL OF that description to this place, farther west,
without injury, and the uncertainty of his finding
me In this section of country, even were to make
the attempt, and should 1 succeed in getting him
brought here, and were to order him to my planta-
tion he might be neglected. 10hich would be to me
source of much notification, well in the event
of injury in getting him here, to compel to de-
cline the Colones kind disinterested offer, for sOkich
am duly grateful, and schich cannot be forgotten by
me. At the time, should our threatened diff
cultes with Great Britain result in an appeal to arms
achich sincerely hope will not be the case or our
relations with that country such character
as to induce the President to have the whole, or
large portion of the troops here, Withdrawn to
important points along southern and eastern
seacoast, and it should be my lot accompany them
and to be assigned to duty in Louisiana ochich in all
probability will be the case will with great pleas

and will use him as parade horse in peace, and

may be assigned me. either in peace or in war, Twill
endeavor to conduct myself in such way as not to
impair, much less to forfeit the good opinion of Col
Wynn well that of many other valuable friends;
all of Dhich will thank you to communicate to the
Colonel, well all have stated in relation to his
valued and highly valuable donation.

CoRw1N PLEADING FOR TAYLOR.

Who has not heard of Tom Corwin And who
does not know that he is a Wlmot Proviso man, and
in favor of " immediate legislation - for the abolition
of Slavery in the District of Columbia Corwin is
stumping it in Ohio for Gen. Taylor, and this is the
way he presents the old Generals Northern face
GAS to the questions of the Tariff and Internal
Improvements, Gen. Taylor was pledged not to veto
them, as well as all other questions Of domestic policy
the WiimOt PrOuiso, any other measure that the
people, through their representatives may demand Cass
is already pledged to veto these measureshe latter
by recent avowal through the columns Of the WASH
ington Union, and the former, by his endorsement of
the administration of Polk. The difference, said
Mr.. Corwin, between Gen. Taylor and Gen. Cass,
is that the former goes to the Constitution for advice,
whilst the latter. true to the instincts of party, goes
to the Baltimore Convention!
EMr. Corwn contended that the only power the
President had over the people, where he could
use the veto. Strip him of that power, elect a
who is opposed to the of it, and the people
can have just such laws enacted as they want.
Mr.. Corwin made an earnest and eloquent appeal
to the A6oEtionists He besought them not commit
the same offoy that they did in 1914, by which
Texas was brought into the Union, with provision
in its Constitution granting perpetual slavery in its
borders. What do they expect to gain, he asked by
their present course Vas there Wh5g an the
Northern States 1chO opposed to Free Soil? If
there was, he must have exceedingly long ears.
Look at the votes of the Wings in Congress on the
Oregon bill. Every Whig member from the free
States only voted for the bil but labored night
and day for its passage What better Free Soil party
do the Aboltionists want than the Wing party? If
they expected to prevent the further extension of
slavery they had chosen most strange and singular
mode of effectng so desirable object, by voting
for Mr. Van Buren, and arraying themselves against
the Wings"
These are the grounds upon which Senator Cor
win supports Gen. Taylor. Southern Wings declare
that Gen. Taylor will veto the Wilmot Provso, while
NOrther" Wings affirm, in the most positive and sol
emn manner, that he will not. Which is right
WHo Is TO BE cHEKrED-the North or the South!

erom her councils and refused longer repay subserv-
ency by Offices and honors'
believed that Gen. Taylor, if elected, would use
his official influence in aid of the further extension of the
slave power, would oppose him, let him be nominated
by whom he might. Daniel Webster

GEN. Qu1rMAN. The Mississippian, printed in
Jackson, Mississippi says: '' A silly story has been
circulated in some of the northern Taylor organs
that this distinguished man, whose name is above ia
vors the election of Gen. Taylor. Why, Cass and
Butler have not more ardent sincere friend than
Gen. Quitman in this Union. He is now actively
engaged in the canvass and the strength of his great
influence in favor of the Democratic nominees is
everywhere felt and acknowledged"
As old Zac would say, this is {" about on par :"
with another story, which was started in this State
that the Hon. Bedford Brown was for Taylor and
Fillmore.

The above sentiments and opinions of Gen. Cass, in
regard slavery and the Wimot Proviso, may be found
nj his Nicholson letter.
On the first day of March, ls47, Gen. Cass not only

gess page 555.
Gen. Cass is in favor of what is known the compro

Jnance of l7s7 excluding slavery from States to be ad
utted into the Union, ought not to apply to territory
South of SO so. He announced this before his nOmi
