speech at Youngstown on Thursday last,
This is the avowal of bold and fearless
mana man over whom it is no, requisite
to place committee whose duty shall be to
shape his course and mould his language,
as has to be done with his competitor for
the same office. He would spurn to ask a
man for his vote and at the same time re-
fuse to give him his views, frankly and
fearlessly, upon any topic that is being agi-
tated. Can this be said Of Seabury Fold,
the Wing candidate for Governor! He is
neither piggy nor puppy. He has not the
maninsss - he has not the nerve = he has not
the political honesty to declare to the State
atlarge whether he is in favor of Taylor or
Van Buren,. His committee has told him
you must remain silent - nothing dare be
written for the public eye, nor any avowal
made for the public ear The design of bis
friends is to sNirdle him into office, if such
a thing be possible. Men, freemen, voters,

NerWaIk and Sandusky Banks.

We understand that some,if not all the
banks of this city, Continue to receive the
notes of the Norwalk bank, but none of
them receive these of the Sardusky. Tie
latter bank has been sold to a company of
brokers, in whom the bankers have no conf
dence, is the alledged cause of the refusal.
We advise our friends now, as we advised
them months ago, to beware of both these
concerns, for we have no faith in them. But
will go, as soon as they can make it profita-
ble so to do. The fact that the Cincinnati
and Columbus bankers refuse to trust the
Sandusky, and that many of the Cincinnati
banks refuse to trust the Norwalk, is a coed
reason why the public should do the same.

the ayes are the names Of John P. Hale,

traitor chief, were strenuously opposed to

tened at his position, and we'll he may be

efforts to raise him on the top of the fence,
so as to afford him a full view Of the po-
litical horizon, hang me if he didn't tumble
over the other side into the ditch, and there
he lies! He looks dozen years older
within a month Sinner that | arm to
have ruined my father in his old nge,when
he was getting on SO well in decelvlng the
people into the belief of his political con-
s.siency and unambitious hopes! Well, most
sons spend their fathers money. Ny old
gentleman, knowing my propensites, guar.
ded against that evil, and allowed me to
traffic on his political reputation, which he
considered Of less value. Confound these
abolitionists! We wanted their votes, not
their alliance--and we are at last on the
platform, like poor set Of devils, ready to
bs turned off and no reprievel Thensthat
damned niger Fred. Douglass, has the au-
daci,y to to puff me in his paper, and con-
graduate me that am at his side in the
good work! The villain will invite himself
to dine with me some day, and propose my
marrying comely wench to test my sim
cerity in his abolition movement. Here's
fix! We should have sold out to either
party before this, as there is such a thing
as getting far in advance of the starting
post. If we beat Cass we shall have Tay

Gen. Tayl0rs last Letter.

At large meeting Of the slavery prop
agandists recently held at Charleston, S.
Carolina, General Taylor was nominated
for the Presidency, and Gen Butler for
Vice President. Gen. Taylor has accept
ed the nomination. The following is his
letter Of acceptance:
BATON ROUGE, Aug. 9, 1s4s.
SIR:-I have the hotior to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication Of the
26,h ulumo, officially announcing to me
my nomination for the Presidency by ga
large meeting ofthe Democratic citizens of
Charleston, South Carolina" held in that
city the 20th ullimo, and over which you
were the presiding officer.
This deliberate expression of the friendly
feeling existing towards me among large
and respectable portion Of citizens of your
distinguished State, has been received with
emotions Of profound gratitude; and though
it be but a return for such high and un-
merited honor, I.beg them to accept my
heartfelt thanks
Concluding that this nomination.. like
all others which | have had the honor
Of receiving from assemblages of my fel-
low citizens in various parts of tho Union
has been generously offered me without
pledges or conditions, it is thankfully ac-
cepted And beg you to assure my friends
in whose behalf you are acting, that should
it be my lot TO fill the office for which have
been thus nominated, it shall be my unceas.
ing effort,in the discharge of its responsible
duties, to give satisfaction to my countrymen.
With the assurance ofmy high esteem,
have the honor to be. Your obt. serv't.
-.. q. TAYLOR.
WIN. B. PRINGLE, Esq, President, &c,
Charleston, S. G.
This letter caused great excitement a.
mong the wings in many sections, but no
where has the Indignation been so fully
manifested as IN the State of N. York. At
Albany, when the news of this acceptance
reached there, large and enthusiastic
meeting was held and addressed by the lead
ing Taylorites, who repudiated the old Gen.
eral. A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the Indignation Of
the meeting, to make repor, at and adjourn.
ed meeting TO be held on the Monday fol-
lowing. In relation to the last meeting the
Statesman has the following:
ga despatch in the eastern papers, says
that the meeting on Mondoy, was a fizzle
out, under the influence of speech from
I. Butler King, Of Georgia: he having
convinced the wings present that they were
all wrong in censuring Taylor for his ac-
ceptance of a democratic nomination. The
despatch, smooths the matter over by say
ing that the first meeting ''proceeded, as it
turned out, from erroneous information"
This is strange, as they had the letter of
Taylor before them. The truth is,the fight
was between the hope ofspoils an adherance
to>principle In such fight in the whig
ran&s, spoils always carries the day. Mr..
Fillmore must feel easy under this abun.
donment, and he may well exclam, "saye
me from such Friends"
