most certainly have cast my vote Tor Mr..
'Clay Zachary Taylor.
We desire lhe reader, says the Phil
Pennsylvania to mark tho phrase Of Gen.
Taylor himself, ~ hape ntrer ertrsiscd the
privilege of roting" We desire himf 10
ponder 1t well. Ii cannot fail io rouse re-
Elections Of the most exciting characier:-i
This very senleEce is startling admission
Of Gen. 'raylor's utter incapacy, It's the
absolute and nnanswerablc proof of bis own
confession OF unfiness. Ii indicates con-
Iclusively and ovcrwl Ginning, that all his feel
ings have been averse TO those pursuits
which can alone qualify man for the highs
est Of civil positions. s Fslgg
But il does more. This extraordinary
admission of Gen. Taylor proves iha, he has
shown, during his whole life, by his neglect
ofibe dearest right Of freeman, that he pla-
ces no value upon that invaluable gift which
pre- -emnenily distinguishes the American
citizen throughout the world. Gen. Taylor
is rapidly approaching his sixlieth year.---
During his long life his country has passed
through many On eycnlful scene. Her lib
cries have beeH1gealened more than oncr,
in thai period, he internal as we'll as tho
external foe. Her authorities have repeated.
ly been called before the bar Of public opin-
ion, there 10 answer 10 their counirymen.----
Sometimes they have asked the countcnance
and encouragement of the people through
the ballot boxes, and again they have met
their seyercst condemnation. During all
these times Of trial and Of peril, Gen. Tay-
lor coldly refused 10 yots for bis countiy!---
Upio The period of time when The letter Of
which eiaboye is an extract, was written,
he never voted at all! Indifferent in all
these trying moments, he has shown, by his
neglected. the right of suffrage, his ndllfer-
eucc 10 his country in iimc OF peace, his ul-
ter ignorance of her institutions, and bis Ut
ter disbelief in the blessings which his fel-
low ci,izens enjoy. at 'i8a mfl
We pentnre to say that General TAyLoR
is the only nun living in this country, of his
age, Uho, haping the right to pote, NEVER
HAS VOTED AT ALL Such man uould be
a political curiosity in anypart Of this great
country. nG 58s 81 li8 ae3a8 M

aifFhe city OF Brs oklyn WIS visited ON Sal
urday night by The most terrible calamity
that has ever fallen to its lot A fire broke
out, which, in six hours of lime, laid waste
eight blocks of buildings in The most active
part of the city, destroying upward OF Two

This city, we're insufficient to stay tho pro-
Egress ofjihe flames, which were only finally
arrested by blowing up the houses in their
path. More than two hundred families are
thus thrown out of their homes, many of
them being now in state of complete destl-

The fire commenced about Iii o'clock,
in thesrcar of the crockery store of John

The nomination of General Taylor, ia nv
humble judgment, fails to address itself 10
the very people il wSs intended 10 attract
He was nominated under the impression that
there isin mere military character, something
to- dazzle the mind of the ignorant, and
draw them 10 the support Of the polilcal
party in which they are employed,-JoAn
Van Burcn. ~
! Ex-Gav. j. H. Hammond, Of South Caro-
lima, the great champion OF Slavery, has de-
clnred for Taylor, and thus aludes TO tho
hesitans between Taylor and Cass:
How any stakeholder can hesitate be-
tween him and Gen. Cass, is 10 me not OILY

worst omen for the South that have seen

INTRHPIDITY OF b4ADY.-A remarkab'e e
instance Of inrepdiiy and coolness was ex-
hibted at the Blue Lick Springs few days
ago by Miss L., belle of Bourbon County
in Ibis State Miss l. and Mr.. f., a gentle
man from the south, on their return frog an
excursion on horseback, were riding down
the long hill about a quarter of a mile from
The holel, at full speed, the lady being lit
tie ahead. Alta sudden turn of the road,
the genileman's saddle turned, aud he fell
from his horse, but bis foot remained in the
siirrup, and the hose, although bis pace was
somewhat slackened, kept on his way drag
ging the fallen man upon the ground. The
Young lady seeing this, reined in her own
horse by a asudden effort, lcapcd from him
while he was slill in rapid motion, ian back,
seized the other horse by the bride, and re-
lcnsed her gallant from his pcrilous situation
This feat was Witnessed b, hundreds al The
Springs, who could find no words strong
