If it has been shown that the right to hold slaves
as property is Institution of the United States,
this admission must be fatal to the proposition; and
if the clause in the constitution providing for the free
dom of religion stands better footing than that
which provides for the slave trade, and cannot per-
ceve that doesf slaves cannot be carried there,
then our Protestant citizens cannot worship there,
because the Roman Catholic religion is there estab-
shed to the exclusion of all other modes of worship.
Whatever weight these remarks may be entitled to,
one thing is very certain, justice is the side of the

New GAME OF RIDE AND TIE. Gen. Taylor, in
accepting the Native nomination for the Presidency,
agreed to with Gen. Dearborn, the Native can
1idate for the Vice Presidency. In accepting the
Whig nomination, he consented to with Mr.. Fill
more for Vice President. And in accepting the
Charleston nomination, he agreed to run with Gen.
Butler, the Democratic candidate for Vice President.
This last act of his, implying willingness to run
with any body mounted behind him, Native, Wing
Democrat, the subject of remark by the speak
ers at the Indignation suppression meeting at the
Capitol on Monday, as matter of congratuation to
Wings! The General was represented as carrying
ming with him in South Garcia, then throwing him
off and allowing Mr.. Fillmore to mount the pillion,
and through the list-taking up different back
ers to suit the different lattudes and longitudes-and
finally running alone, with I" old Whitley only for
Vice President! This picture of the Whg cand-
date in his multudnous sectional phases, draws out
a burst of derision and ridcule. Truly fine sub
ect for the caricaturist albany .4rgus.
The North-Carolina standard., 1848-10-11

Democratic papers in North Carolina are arguing
that Cass and Butler carry that State. The
whole vote at the election in August 84,2lS and
Manly's whg majority for governor is but 954. This
vote 1000 larger than that of 1874, and is the lag-
est ever cast. Reid, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has 1895 more than Polk, and Manly has 696
less than Clay. The democratic gain is 3O91 the
presidential vote of 1874, and 2299 the
vote of 1874 1t is believed that the State poll
least ,0OO and that the vote for Clay 232, is
larger than the wings possibly get for Taylor.
1t their fault, say the democrats, that they
did carry the State in August, and all they have
to do is to bring out full vote in Novemberto give
the State to Cass and Butler. 1t is certain that
Mo-ehead and his whig friends disappointed in
the August election, which showed concusively that
they made losing fght under Tayior's nomination.

he is mere military man, entirely destitute of civil
