Base PerYertiOM.

By every whig pettifogger and Street Travelling Politician is the base charges made upon Gen. Cass, as introducing a law in Congress to reduce the pay of the volunteers in the Mexican war from $3, 50, to $2, 50. And to more strengthen these assertions all the whig papers are publishing letter purporting to be from a volunteer in Mexico, representing the in- dignation with which the volunteers re- ceived this news, as hanging and burning Gen. Cass' effigy. To nail this foul slan- der to the counter we extract the follow ing from the Washington Union; which, is sufficient to satisfy every reasoning man, -Demagogue we care not to enllghten ;
 "A letter purporting to have been writ ten by one of the Pennsylvania volunteers in Mexico, is being circulated by the more violent of the whig papers, alleging that "General Cass was burned in effigy by inc Pennsylvania volunteers in Mexico, when they heard of his introducing into the Senate bid to reduce their allowance for clothing from $3, 50 to $2 50 per month." In fact, this accusation against Gen. Cass has spread far and wide. It began in some silly letter of volunteer from Pennsylvania, then chanted forth in the New York Herald, and copied into other whig papers north as well as west. We find the "Covington Ky. Union" of the 16th speaking of it thus :''
 "The Cincinnati Atlas says that Gen. Cass had law passed, allowing the vol unteers clothing-in kind, as used by regu- lar soldiers-to the amount of $2 50 in- stead of $3 50 in cash. If this be the fact, we would like to know what the whigs in Congress were about They had the control, and could have prevented the enactment of any law which was in. troduced. If the law was so very crue and objectionable, why did they not vote it down? We do not recollect whether Gen. Cass introduced any such measure or not neither kdo we care. We dc know, and we have some right to know that when the volunteers received $3 5( per month in cash for clothing, they were (most of them) half naked: while the regular soldiers, who were allowed $2 5( in clothing g'were comfortably dressed. Int money allowance proved most unfortunate as suffers in the army charge most extrav agant prices-three or four times as mucl as the government would charge for bet

A DEMOCRAT.
Ratification Meeting in AIiiaU-
 ga.

At meeting of portion of the De- mocratic party, held at Kingston, Autauga county, on Saturday July lst ls46, for the purpose of ratifying the nominations of the Baltimore Convention, of the Hon. Lewis Cass for President and the Hon. Wm. o. Butler for tice President, Vim. D. Smith Esq. was called to the Chair, and Thomas J. Tarleton appointed Secre- tary.
 Gen. c. M. Jackson then. in a brief and satisfactory manner, stated the action and doings of the late Baltimore Conven- ton, and presented the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
 Whereas, under all free and republican governments, deriving their power and support from the people, it is the right of the goverened peaceably to assemble and freely to express their opinions upon all subjects of public policy, such as affect even remotely the interests and privileges of the highest or lowest citzien. The au- thority delegated by the people to a repre- sentative imposes the duty upon the latter, clearly to reflect and carry out the views of the former, when not in conflict with the provisions of the Constitution, assem- ted to by all, and to which obedience is due. Questions of great moment are at this time agitating our own country from one extremity of the confederation to the other. The two great parties, whose principles have from time to time swayed the destinies of the Union, as one or the other happened to be in the ascendency are again arrayed against each other and great political warfare is about to be waged, in which it becomes necessary for

COL. WINsTON's ADDRESS. To the People of Alabama.

Having been assailed with the ma
 jority of the Alabama delegation to the
 Baltimore Convention by my late associ.
 ate-Mr. w. l.. Yancey-before bis pro- per constituency, the people of Char'es ston, and also our own constituency at Mont gomery and Wetumpka, l feel it to be my duty to give an account of my actions and the motives which influenced me in the convention. In doing so shall be com pelled in self defence to initiate Mr. Yan- cey in speaking plainly of his acts. l think 1 shall be able to show that the in- structions which he put upon the conven- lion at Montgomery, to exclude men whose acts has been heretofore accepta- ble to the real democracy of Alabama,
 were violated by himself and not by us,- and that he (Mr. Y. lis an unsafe politi- cian, and an unfit leader of the democra- cy. The resolutions introduced as an amendment to the original resolutions in the Alabama convention were propos-
 ed as a substitute for an amendment, to which I objected in the convention, and MT. Y. made an elaborate speech in their
 support, which he no doubt considers a full discussion. For the sake or harmo-
 ny, and the hour being late, they were
 permitted to pass. On criticle examina- ton afterwards the true object became apparent, which was to prevent the dele gation from Alabama from supporting any one but MT. Woodbury. It will be seen
 in the end that he (Mr. Y. was caught
 in his own trap. MT. Yancey informed the convention on reliable authority tat
 MT. Woodbury was sound on the great
 Southern question-sounde indeed than
 any other northern man likely to be
 brought forward, and that in due time his
 opinions would be submitted to the public. !, Under this expectation I and others of our delegation went to Baltimore willing to i support Mir. w. when these assurances
 were established on "rcliable authority"
 Messrs Dallas, Buchanan and Cass had openly avowed their views. The firs' du- ty of .he delegation was to enter into a ] correspondence with Mir. Woodhury. I

From the Hayn eyIlle Chronicle.
 Mr. Xancey.

We notice in the Gazette of the 23d ult., that many democrats in and around Montgomery, have given their enthusias tic disapprobation of the course pursued by Hon. William L. Yancey in the Bal timore Convention in reference to his mil nority report, as disorganizing in it's ten- dency and highly incompatible with the long cherished interests of the Great Democratic party.
 Alr. Yancey has pursued and is now vindicating course, which, if prosecuted with lis wanted energy and unyielding pertinacity, must result in the most danger ous consequences to his own party, in de- feating the success of the principles which heretofore it has ever been his pride to vindicate and maintain. His conduct is inexplicable to the democrats of Lowndes. We all admire his exalted talents and most heartily commend the elevated and statesmanlike course so strictly observed by him anterior to the Convention at Bal timore but, on the other hand, as heartily repudiate the anti-democratic step which he has taken in relation to the distinguish ed gentleman now before the people as a candidate for the highest honor within the limit of their power to bestow.
 On account of the veneration in which we held his political career, we were dis posed in spirit of conciliation and can dor, to give his remarks and report our serious consideration and it must be conceded by every unbiased mind that very little penetration is requisite, to dis cover underneath the rubbish Of that fa- nous report, hidden design which the Future, we trust will more clearly devel- op. His conduct in the Convention has induced us to believe that his plans were concocted and incipiently enacted in our State Capitol before he went to Baltimore. The amendments and instructions to | which he professes to have adhered with such precision, were the creatures of his own impetuous genius, and which if fair ly analysed, will be sfound to differ ir meaning and sentiment, very little from the spirit and intent of the resolution con. tained in the report made by the commit tee, of which he was member. The subject of slavery seems to be the one or which Mir Yancey takes issue with ouI

0Hr It is said that John M. Bolts is of. fering to bet 5000 that Gen. w. o. But Ter will be the next President of the Uni ted States. He thinks no choice will be made by the Electorial Colleges, or by the House of Representatives for Presi- dent, but that Gen. Butler will be selected by the Electoral Colleges as Vice Presi- dent, and that the duties of President will devolve upon him according to the rules prescribed by the constitution. This is, we think, somewhat of a wild speculation, but there is no accounting for events al this age of progress.

 0T The most arsical thing that we have seen for some time, is an account of the manner in which Gen. Taylor received his nomination by the Baltimore Conven- ton.
 The whig newspapers are circulating something of this kind by a singular CO., incidence the news of Gen. Taylor's nomination for the President was carried to him by the steamboat Gen. Taylor Captain Morehead (the name of the presi- dent of the whig convention As the boat approached the Generals plantation near Rodney, (says the Whig) she round. ed to, and the passengers commenced hallowing very loudly for the old hero. After while the General emerged from a log cabin and came down to the landing, where he was met by Captain Morehead, who handed him the letter announcing his nomination. He read it without the slightest emotion,-after which he quietly folded it up, put it into his capacious pock- e. of that famous old brown coat, and turning to the Captain, remarked-''lt's a very fine day Captain-a very fine day, indeed" "Yes very fine," responded the Captain. "Did you have a pleasant trip downr' "Quie so," was the Captains response, "Good morning, Captain,- good morning gentlemen" And the i'm perturable oldlgentleman waddled of, bow ing as he went, to- the passengers and crew, who made the welking ring with their loud hurras for Old Zack.
 Now, the prettiest of this is, that, there is no log house on the rich plantation of Gen. Taylor. The negro houses as well as every other house on the place, are fra med. While 1t is well known that Gen. Taylor received the news of the nomina- ton in the town of Ba otn Rogue, which is situated some distance from his planta- ton. This much for truth and whigery.
