Ii is curious record-tha of the whig canvass this
In place OF the stunning military hurah for
Taylor which was promised us we hear little from the
wing journals but wailing the departure of their
hopes of office, and gnashngs OF teeth the strange
and grotesque freaks of their dearly bought and most
unreliable candidate The last of these dongs which has
yet come before the public eye, is the sanges of them
all, and it has already created hubbub in the whig
ranks, OF which no man yet the end What
pertly and oolishly spoken of General Cass two
months ago. seems to be fast coming true of General
Casss opponent; and General Taylor, if his letters and
acceptances, and pledges and nopledges, secret and
open go at the present much longer, will indeed
60 want atfdavts to prove that he has been running
at all"
On the goth of last month Democrats and indie
pendens in Charleston South CaroGna-banded together
in their zeal against the Wimot Provso and taking in
their haste just the wrong way, appears, to OPP
pose imet together and nominated General Taylor for
the presidency; and finding that Mr.. Fillmore would
way their purposes for Vice President, put Gen
Butler @ in his place their Taylor cket-adoptng
at the same time very stringent resolutions All of
these proceedings were forthwith sent off to General
Taylor in due official form. Nominated as he was at
Phiadelpha-his name by his consent, nay on his
of Mr. Fillmore by the wing partyGen Taylor yet
demened enough utterly to compromise and confuse his
uptole position, by promptly and " thankfully accept
ing this democratic nomination ALSO Striking it did
Mr. Fillmores name off of the tcke and thus to offer
direct insult both to his whig colleague and to every
wing throughout the country who had concurred in Mr.
Fillmore's nomination
Here is the Generals letter of accepta nee and con-
-
written, may safely challenge the whole history of
party any country TO produce its parallel The best
part of the whole thing is, that alter this nomna
ton and acceptance the democracy of Charleston
at this moment to be coming round almost in for
Cass and Butler to make Taylors unaccountable
sacrifice of his colleague of account in the very
place where it was intended to operate

But the OF this business has already got beyond
Charleston and it travels norhward, it very natu-
rally and very justly awakening far ercer resentment
in the whig ranks against their candidate than
anything else which he has yet written done. The
wings of New York, for example, no come to
knowledge of the Generals letter. than they forthwith
call, at Albany-under Mr. Fillmores eye, and with
his express APPROVAL great meeting of indignation
and reputation against Gen. Taylor, and unable ut
ter all their rage IN one evening, appoint committee to
report resolutions at another Adjourned meeng to
off on Monday next We have not yet full account of
their proceedings but the following summary of them,
which we find in the New York Evening Post of
Monday, shows the spirit that rules the hour The AL
bany wings say, in substance, that they have borne
good deal from the old General but that this last outrage
is much, and they will stand it longer and all
this is said under circumstances which make it to go
forth to the country if in the very of Mr. Fill
more himself
