MThe Democratic AssOCiation.n

There needs no further confirmation of the
popularity Of the "Canton Democratic Asso.
citation, . and the great attractions i. presents,
than the overlooking, houses that always greet
its meetings. Last Saturday night it witness
ed another perfect triumph. AT an early hour
the Courthouse was denscly CrOwded with IL
LOc0focos and IA Whigs--O'er which hover'd in
dask and gloomy circles, some four or FIVE
bats, which, from their manifest disinclina-
ton to leave the room, as we'll as their deter
minatiOn to take an important part in the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting-suggested to some
minds the idea Of changing the name Of the
society and substituting in its place, that Of
the q LOcofOeo Bat A~ssoeiGtion." The sugges-
ton struck me as being an exceedingly np-
propriate one, for as it was the disposition Of
the bats 10 ~extinguish the lamps which were to
reveal to US the 'doings' and deliberations OF
our Locoioco iviends-so also, is il the practice
Of the leaders Of the present Democratic party,
to obscure and shade with the dark Diings Of
demGgoguism, those true principles Of govern
ment, which are the only lights, by which this
Republic can safely guide and regulate it's
course. But Notwithstanding our citizens and
the bats Of the town, bestowed so liberal a pa
trOnGge upon the Democratic Association-yet
it appeared that it's members were dissatisfied,
and prone to complain, for the meeting was no
sooner organized than one Of tho membersro rose
and moved that in consequences Of the slim
attendance-it do now adjourn till Saturday
night the Goth inst, and that those gentlemen
who were to be the orators Of the evening, be
requested to reserve their speeches for that oc-
c%asiOn." The motion was unanimously car
ried-three persons in a sof, feeble tone Of Uoice,
voting, %yea-while none voted in the negative.
This was q sore disappointment to the au-
disnce--particuIarly to the wing portion Of il,
az most Of them had gone there for the ex-
press purpose Of hearing another speech from
the ex-member Of the Georgia Legislature.
Il is hoped that II the wings should again at.
tend a democratic meeting, that they will not
only be entertained with a few speeches-bul
also find their Locofoco brethren in better
spirits, and with their phizzes somewhat shorter
than they were the other night. True, their
political prospects are no. the most Hattering,
but they should bear up against their misfor-
tunes, and act the part Of philosophers. The
saddeued looks and heavy signs, as we'll as the
deathlike stiffness which seemed 10 pervade
The I~astcOnvsning Of the i" Canton Democratic
Associasion,, would have induced a stranger
90 think, thu. its members had assembled 9to

General Taylor and the North Carolina
Regiment.

It is astonishing to see the industry aud NAL :
ice that are displayed by the opponents Of Gen.
Taylor, in originating and circulating the most
untoonded and malicious reports respecting
him. Our readers may probably r~ecollect a dif.
hculty that occurred in the North Carolina
regiment during the operations on the line of
the Rio Grande, previous to the return Of Gen
Taylor to the United States. Since this req.
lment has arrived in New Orleans, a repor. has
been actively circulated ia it, that Gen, Tav-
Tor had asserted, that in consequence of the
above affair all the officers should have bean
shot, and the regiment sent home in disgrace.
Both Col. Bliss and Gel. Bragg, at once gave
a pointed denial to the SANDER, but not content
with this, we mentioned il 10 Gen, TAYLOR
himself, who denied ii in the most emphatic
manner, and said it was entirely destitute Of the
least foundation in truth. In reply to our e.
quests for permission to contradict it in his
name, he said we could do 50 if we thought
proper, but that it was hardly worth while, for

p. W.. TOmpkins, Esq. NJ. C. from Mississip-
p, made a " hit" at Cass in the following COM
p~arison, in a recent address at a mass meeting
in Georgetown;
ST is" said he "a matter Of Boast with
the friends Of General Cass, and a fact he pro-
claims every time he speaks or writes of late,
that he was first appointed to office by Mr.. JEFF
%forson, the great Apostle of Democracy!-
Well, in that he has no great advantage over
General Taylor; he, too, was appointed to
office, about the same time by the same ApOs-
tie of Democracy :"
SIN these appointments" continued the or
Otor, " we have Mr.. Jeferson's opinion Of the
two men. Taylor he appointed TO On Office in
the United States Army: Cassie that Of
Marshall in the Territories northwest of the
OhiO-an Office corresponding to that of Sher-
i'll. In bestowlng these commissions, Mr.. JEFF
ferson in effect said Here, Zachary Taylor,
the Nations sword is to be drawn amid the
thunder and the shock of battle! the Nations
flag is to be borne by hands which will never
'AH "a a. oOlCuuGI ~ 10 tlS
enemy. These functions you are eminently
fitted to discharge! Take this commission; you
never will disgrace it.
" Here, Lewis cass, when a poor devil of a
debtor is be run down and served with a writ
when the last COW which supplies his famish-
ing children with milk, and last bed which
supports the emaciated frame of the sick
wife, are to be seized and sold under execution
and when seizures and sales cannot wiring an
other cent from the poor bankrupt, and he lie
to be thrust into and locked up in a dungeon.
you sir, are eminently fitted for such service;
take this commission: | am sure you never
will disgrace it, and if any one is to be hung,
who SO we'll fitted to be the execulioner."
In the bestowal Of these two commissions,
Mr.. Tompkins said, Mr.. Jefferson, with his
characteristic insightinto,the capabilities, quail
and tempers of men, has, by power
full and unmistakeable implication, given to the
world his opinion Of Zachary Taylor and Lew
is Cass. In the contrast between Jeferson's
Captain and jeff rson's deputy sheriff, there
