The NORTH AND SOUTH. Il IS evident hat the
grand raud BY which The uphoIders Of TIE slave power
at the SOuh and the opponents Of /, a tie North have
been induced 10 vote for Gen Taylor and for precisely
opposite reasons cannot be carried much turlher Tie
former are cIamorous for 4 compromise which shall
mske TO slavery territory sghty fines the ertszt
Of Bassaoinss.ts, and express perfect confidence in
Gen Taylors fidelity them upon thai point At the
same time, almost universal determination seems to
pcrvade the masses o. the entire free Stats thai no
concession OF any portion Of the territory to slavery
shall be made. There are leading politicians, II is true,
il both he Old parties whose faces 0eaT manifest iud
cations Of dough, but II Is rot 50 among the psople
An attempt vii he made 10 compromise tns question
during The present session We shall see what northern
men will dare 10 vote for such an abandonment of prin
cpe and right Il the compromise shall fail The policy
Of the present administration w be to give he whole
matter tse 90 BY and throw he responsibility Of upoD
Gen. TayIor's administration. Tha, our readers nav
see what IS expected Of him at the Souih. we annex
some extracts from the Albany Geo, Courier, leading
Taylor Wing paper. The Courier opposes The Souih
Carolina project for soulbern CoEventon, on the
ground that they shall obtain all they want without IT, on
Gen. TsylOrs advent to tie Presidency. Ii says:
'sGive Gen. Taylor and his party an opportuni.
ty to settle this question before taking any hasty
and inconsiderate step. The stout heart and IN.
finching nerve Of the gallant old patriot that
brayed the dangers at Buens Vista, will meet
this question fearlessy, determined TO adjust it
Peaceabiy and amieably; and, as his past history
gives ample proof, he HeUer fdlteTs, ssneueT sur
TendeTs"- when in the discharge OF his duties
he casks no fayors and shrinks from no responsi-
biiity.'
We were honest in the position assumed in the
Presidential campaign, that Gen. Taylor was the
man for the crisis and we stll believe he will be
the savior OF his country. That the RIGHTS OF
THE SOUTH tCiH be safe Uhen committed to his
care We will not suffer ouselyes TO doubt for
moment The bugbear at which his opponents
ieign to be frightened, that he is pledged not to
veto any bill prohibiting the extension OF slavery
IS HU MBUG, and was intended to deceiUe The
untcdry and unsuspeeting That he is pledged
TO protect the Constitution, and that under that
pledge the constitutional RIGHTS OF THE
SoUrH will be secured there can be no cues
fisn.
Our word for if, the South has nothing to fear.
But if it turn out that we are deceived (which IS
hardly suPPosable case) we will challenge any
TO exceed US in devotion TO southern institutions
or do lore to sustain southern interests
Such are the views entertained and proclaimed by
leading Taylor organs. Now, have one word to saw
to the voters of Massachusetts reference this matter
When asked to vote for any who has assisted 10
elevate Gen. Taylor the Presdene will you not what
ever may have been the former of that man. re-
fuse him your vote ill you know what the policy Of The
administration will be- and viii you not give il 10 one
whose principles comedies with yours and who is under
no obligation to support the administration any further
than il shall conform to those principles 7
