TAYLOR CONSTITUTIONAL PLATFORM.


The Tayoritcs ,xpatiate upon the beauties of their
candidate, positiOn-haviDg rejected all principles by
which the Wing party had been heretofore designated
they say cxulngly lhalher Presidential nominee stands
upon the Constitution The Hon. Charles Hudson said
at the late Taylor Convention in the City Hall:
"Ii it be asked what the Wings shall do at the
coming election, on what platform they will elect
Gen. Taylor, my answer to them is, elect him
upon the constitution upon that he will stand
upon that he will administer the Government"
This is the only principle avowed by Gen. Taylor in
his numerous leters-he declares he will administer the
government upon the principles of particular party
but upon Constitutional principles And now to UNDER
stand precisely what this Taylor constitutional platform
is composed OF, we quote the following from leading
Taylor Wing paper as an illustration of the manner in
which the constitution Is be supported and adhered
o, in case Taylor comes in. The Richmond IVA Re,
publican says:
"Now for Gen. Taylor, what does he say p
Why he says emphaticaIly he toiH stand BIZ the
Constitution in the adminiStJ dti02 of ofairs-
Well. This WiimOt Pr0uiso is most unqueS-
ttonaby unconstitutional in euery sense of the
term, $50 thought by all Southern men.) Con-
sequenuy HE is COMPELLED TO VETO 1T,
because 1T tcould come under the class of meas
al. Furthermore: Gen. Taylor is large slave
holder, and does any man Of ntelgence lear that
Gen. Taylor will sanction the Proviso %
And again 1t says:
CHOW is the time for action. Now, fellow
citizens, while the genius of liberty wings its
flight over your destinies. Now, while you see
in the South brilliant STAR in the person of
Zachary Tayor-whO will rule the people with
moderation, regarding the Constitution as his
shield and protector who is identified tUith, and
tOiH be devoted to your inStitutlons-w no, by
his expressed declaration, says he tDiH VETO
THE WlLMOT PROVISO %
This is the in which The sacredness and invio.
liability OF the charter of liberties is regarded by
Gen Taylor and all his Supporters in his own section of
country and is the way the government will be admins
tered in old Zach is elected The Alison letter
they affirm, is guarantee that he will promptly
veto anything pdpaby unconstitutional as they all de,
clare the Provso TO be. Let all hgs look into this true
position of Gen. Taylor and see they can longer sup
port candidate TO be elected upon no other issue or
pledge than that he will "VETO any thing like The VIII
mot Proviso," for say Taylor candidates for Presi>
dental electors in Louisiana and Alabama And they
KNOW what his position is.

CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR IN FRANcE.-
Many facts have been stated illustrative OF the
impoverlshing effects OF the impaired confidence
and stagnaton OF industry in France, in conse.
quence OF the revolution No more striking proof
has been presented of the effects of this impoyer
ishment, in restricting the comforts Of the people.
than the following statement; which shows re.
markable reduction in consumption OF sugar-an
article OF food which may almost be classed with
the necessaries Of life.
1t appears from official statements published in
the Paris papers that, on the 31st OF July last. the
sugar In store received from the French colonies
amounted to 242,S88 metrical quintals, whilst at
the corresponding date OF the last year it amount,
ca 10 only $4,000 metrical quintals The for.
eign colonial sugar remaining in store on the 3Ist
July, in the present year, amounted TO 80 900
metrIcal quintas, whilst last year it was only H.
OOO metrical quintals.
Inc excess in the quantity OF this article in
store is attributable chiefly to the diminished
consumption, arising from the contracted means
oil the poorer classes of the population. This ex-
cess In the stock OF imported sugar, from French
and foreign colonies, amounts to liz, 786 metrical
qulntals, which is equal TO 34O, 900 cwt. The
difference appears the more remarkable from the
TACT, that in France very large portion of the
ordinary consumption consists of that OF domestic
manufacture, from the beet root.-Boston .adyer.

GFThe True Whig groveling as usual its mire
of falsehood and duplicity, sees no way OF turning
public attention from its deceptions but by carp>
ing at some accidental inadverent error which has
crept into our columns by mistake. For instance in our
article on Saturday ia relation to Mr. Van Burens cast
ing vote the words "upon the second reading" were in.
serted for the words, "upon ordering 10 third read
ing" The Taylor organ catches upon this unintenton-
al little blunder of ours, and magnyng more huge
dimensions than all old Zack's principles ~ combined
together in one heap seeks by the small noise it makes
TO avert observation from the wholesale false statements
and misrepresentation prolific in its own columns.
What we said in relation to this subject, (ths small
error excepted) cannot be denied Messrs, Man nm
and John Davis were upon the Committee which re-
ported the original BILL The former concurred entirely
with 1t; Mr. Davis stated that the report did not tvo
meet his sanction, al though there were many things in
it which he approved-he did not think the matter of
much consequence. MIR Webster SAID not word

his opposition to the bill
1t is OF no practical consequence, whatever, in wha

WHAT THE South THINKS OF THE FREE
and Tribune, we'll conducted paper, whose edi-
tor cannot but have deep conviction of the evil
of slavery, very well remarks:
1t will be seen by telegraph news in another
column that the "free soil" people are carrv;no
all before them in Maine. In Vermont, iudgin9
from our imperfect returns, the same thing has
been the case. Very few of the old party men
expected this result, and it will confuse ali their
calculations OF the presidential election. For our
own part we should not be at all surprised if the
free soil candidates carry some six or eight states
at all events, enough to prevent the election Of
president by the people. This is the expecta
ton OF the leaders OF the party, as avowed bv
John Van Buren, in speech few days ago At
Philadelphia. We do not see how party could
possess more elements of popular power in the
free states than this. 1t doubtless has the deem
est symPathies OF the people on its side. This is
so apparent that 1t paralyzes the efforts OF the
more ambitious placeinen of the other parties
Ihey see very plainly that, if not now, II will ul.
tmately absorb all other question in the free
states, and that those who resist it must do so at
the sacrifice OF their political prospects.
Mr.. calhoun declared recently that the Marty
in the free states that shall be defeated at the
presidential election will go over in BODY 10 the
barnburners. We have no doubt of this: and
moreover that the victorious party will do the
same thing as soon as the time approaches for the
succeeding election.
As much as we may condemn the free soiI
movement, or the objects of those who gave II
birth, it is, as far as the people OF the north are
concerned, moral movement. II stands ahove
the common motive OF political partisans. II has
hold in the conscientious convictions of the neo.
pie. The force thus given to it is augmented bv
consideration Of interest. Slavery. saw ne
Landowners, is adverse TO the interests Of labor
1t degenerates it. The white man cannot be- =
freeman where It exists. With this combined
power, ADDED TO the hope Of the leaders that it
must be triumphant, it is impossible n caicr.
late what may be its immediate effects or how
far it Is about to control the results Of The an.
preaching election. r
