on TAYLOR.

The God-like Daniel has spoken, and for the
first time that we wot of for many years, has done
so in a sensible way, so far "a it regards General
TAYLOR. See here what Daniel Webster says of
Gen. Taylor:
'' We know, gentlemen, that however respecta-
bic and distinguished in the line of his own pro-
fession, or however estimable as a citizen, Gen.
Taylor is a military man merely He has had
no training in civil afEaiTs-he has had no partici-
patton in the councils ofthe repubiic-he is known
only by his brilliant achievements at the head o;
an American army Now the Wings of Massa-
cIlnsetts, and | among them, are OF the opinion
that it was not wise, not discreet, to ga to the army
for our candidate for President. This is the first
instance in the history of the government Of the
United States that any mere military mar has
been proposed for that office. Washington was
an eminent military man, but far greater in his
civil characterize was employed in the service
of the country from the earliest dawn OF the Amer
can revolution-he was a member of the Cont
mental Congressman, i'll that body, established
for himself a great reputation for civil judgment,
wisdom and ability.
After the war, as YOU know; he was one of the
convention which formed the Constitution of the
United States, and il is one of the most honorable
tribute ever a d to him, that he should have been
selected by the wise men who composed that con-
vention to preside over their deliberations. And
his name stands first and foremost appended To
the CONSTITUTION under which we live. President
Harrison was bred a soldier, and rendered his
country important military services. Bnt Gene
raj Harrison, nevertheless, WAS for e r1urh great
er part of his life in civil than in military service.
He was for twenty years either the Governor of a
Territory, a Member of Congress, or a Minister
abroad. and he performed his duties in all these
stations to the satisfaction of the people.
This case. therefore. stands by Itself, without
a precedent in our previous history. And it is
on this account principally, I imagine, that the
Wings of Massachusetts feel dissatisfied at the
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1848-09-12

MEETING.

a Religious Meeting OF more than ordinary in
teres: was commenced in the Episcopal Church
of this town on yesterday, to be continued during
the entire week. Some of the ablcst DIyines be-
longing to the Church will be in attendance, and
we hope their efforts mas be crowned with success.
The Concccration OF this beautiful Temple to
tile. service of the Most High, will take place on
Thursday, at IL o'clock. Bishop JOINS it is ex-
Pected will be present 10 perform the rites usual
on such occasions. Those from tie neighboring
counties who may wish TO be in attendance, can
rest assured of a cordial welcome, and the hospi-
%tnlities of our town, irrespective OF sect or creed.
We have heretofore alluded TO the completion
Of this Church-ils finished interior and exterior,
and the names under whose auspices so crcdita-
bic a piece Of workmanship was executed. We
doubt, indeed, ifin our whole Valley, smother edi-
tice can be found at all equal, III the beauty Of lis
finish or tho convenience of arrangement. The
fine Bell, which rends forth its morning and its
evening chaunt, (~weighing $50 pounds.) is the
donation of a few Of the liber: minded of our ci-
tizens. 1t was purchased at a very reasonable
price from NIr. HASKELL of Baltimore, the Agent

TAYLOR POLE.

A Taylor Pole, CnnI the first one shat We
have heard of in Fifginia0 was planted in the
Eastern end of Caarlestown on SaturdaY cvcning
last. The Poll is something upwards OF 'lOO feet
in height, and has a Strcar:cr with tire ha;ncs of
Taylor & Fillmore. As the military regime is
to be in vogue, if the Wings are successful, the
Taylor men have very appropriately hoistcd in
addition, the Regimental Flag The enthusiasm
of the Wigs at Pole musings has gone By, as was
perfectly apparent on Saturday.
Mcssrs. S. ] &C. Moore and Lawson Bptts had
been selected to deliver addresses on the occasion,

THE PRESIDENT AT BATH.

We failed to publish in our last, by an over
sight, a Contamination we received from Morgan
county, announcing the visit of President Polk
at Bath, on returning from his recent to Bed
ford Springs During the short sojourn OF the
President, he received the warm congratulations
of the sterling Democracy Of Morgan, and was
greeted with every demonstration of respect due
to his own private worth, and the distinguished
station he C :upies. Col. Harrison and others
gave him pressing invitations to dine with them
ut their homes, but the stay of the President we
4eatt was so short, that he was only allowed to
accept the hospitality Of The Colonel.

VINO pEsERrfoNs no BUREN.

Mr.. Webster, says the Washington Union,
may well deneunce Martin Van Buren, for his
course, since it isscalculated to strip Gen. ray
lor of the abolition vote, for which both the Wings
and the Barnburners are playing with all their
skill. He will find this third party cutting in.
npoa Gen. Taylor III 1913, precisely as the Ia
berty Party'' cut in upon Mr. Clay in 1874, but
with more fearful loss to the Wings. The Barn.
burning press is Boosting Of such acquisitions
The Democratic press in the Moth and North
west are frequently referring to such desertions
from the Wing ranks. The Detroit Free Press,
of the 3Oth ult., gives the following remarkable
ehangesv
There appears TO have been a concerted plan
to desert Taylor all over the State. First, the
TAYLOR Club at the State Capital (Lansing) met
and repudiated hims and next, the jackson Ga
zelte and the Wings OF jackson county cast him
off, and adopted Van Buren,. We understand
there are soon to DO other repudiati6hs. The fol-
lowing distinguished Wings, we learn, have re-
pudiated Taylor since the Buffalo Convention -
Hon. J.. NJ. Lamb,J J. W. Gordon, Henry w. Tay-
1nr, Austin Blair, Joseph R. Williams.
The former was lately the Wing candidate for
lieutenant Governor the second, Wing Lieu

United States Senator; the third. late Wing rep

fifth, a Wing candidate for Congress, and dele

dition to the above, there are hundreds Of the
! RAM. and file OF the party who have withdrawn,
and refuse to support Taylor. There will also
be a meeting OF the Wings of the neighboring
township at Which Gen. Taylor will be formally
abandoned.
Il cannot but have been noticed that the Wing
press begin TO feel alarmed, from the fact that
they have left Gen Cass. and are now engaged in
{. laying OUT Mr.. Van Buren,. Tire New York
Courier ard Enquirer, the Express and otherlead-
ing Wing presses, are devoting their entire col
umhs to Mr.. Van Buren,, and setting ups with
the Wings who arc leaning towards that aPos-
tate. They acknowledge that the Buffalo plat
form is a Wing platform, but they DO not like the
men that Convention put in nomination.
The Cincinnati Herald (Barnburner) says:
A friend writing from KnigItstown Henryco
Ia, Aug. &c, says: g There are fifty men in this
township that voted for Clay in 1914, that will
not vote for Taylor; and there are one or two
Democrats who will not vote for Cass. Van Blu
rem will get a strong vote in Henry county, but
Cass will get the State"

Two FAcEs!-There is not a single question
on which Gen. Taylor has expressed an opinion
at all, upon which he cannot be claimed on both
sides Thus, in relation TO the acquisition of tier
ritcry, in his letter to Gen. Gaines he wrote:
Mt seems To me the most jud;cious course to
be pursued, on our part, would be to take pOsses-
sion at once of the line we would accept by nego.
%tiation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Pacific, and occupy the same, or keep what we
already have possession OF, and that, together with
Tampico, which l hope to take in the course of
next month {oras soon as lean procure the means
of transpottation0 would give us all on this side
af the Sierra Madre-and, as soon as I occupy
SaltillO, will include seven States OF Provinces"
Per coutra-in his Allison letter, he says.
The principles of our government, as well as
its true policy, are opposed to The s~ubjugation of
other nations and the dismembe.ment of other
countries by conquests, for, in the language oft6e

Wing principles an abandonment of the Wing
party. Mr.. Robinson says:

approve its course in reference to the late war
with Mexico. l regard the war as just and una
voidable on our part; having been forced into it
by aggressions and actual hostility on the part of
Mexico. Instead Of beginning an unjust, unne-
cessary and unconstitutional war, as charged by
the vote of the Wing party in Congress, I regard
the Pres dent as acting ali the while on the defen-
s;ve, and solely to preserve our national rights and
honor. | love my country more than Mexico, and
while cordially approving the efforts of the admin
~istration to conduct the war vigorously and close
it honorably, | caRnot but condemn the %factious
opposition of the Wings, which has embarrassed
the government, prolonged the war and increased
its virulence. do not wish my vote to be placed
by the side OF the vote of Corwin, Giddings and
others, whose urpatriotic course in Congress and
elsewhere Identifies them with the tories of the

statesman and a pure patriot, and will do all in
his power to secure his election.

MIR. FILLMORE AN ABoLITIoNIsT.

The Wings in theirpublic discussions scarcely
ever mention the name of their candidate for the
Vice Presidency, much less allude 70 his oPtnz
ions, unless the Democrats pin them SO close that
they cannot refuse to say something, and then
they say they are willing to put BIN on the VIII
mot Proviso, side by side with Gen. Cass but in
this they fail, as evidence has been laid before the
people to convince them that while Dir. Fillmore
is in favor ofthe wilmot Proviso. Gen. Cass is
against it. From the public documents of Con-
gress we have published enough to convince any
unpreiudiced mind that Mr.. Fillmore is an aboIi-
zionist. Below We give a letter from Mr.. FIJI
