be equal TO ti1o Uotes in the present contest;
tor il would count one more for the one, and
one less for the other-which is equal TO tpo.
But every whig who votes for Van Buren,
who cannot be elected-takes one rots from
Taylor, consequently, every wing vote given
to Van Buren,, counts one in favor of Cass.-
With these facts staring me in the face, how
could ], a wing, do other than vote for Gen.
Taylor. And how else. my whig friends, can
you vote, in order to vote consistently? You
cannot expect to accomplish anything-unless
il be the election of Cass, and YOU wish to
aid his election, W by no. vote directly for him
why not 60 the " hole figure at once, and
thus let each OF your votes count tWo for him,
instead OF but one, as in the case of your voting
Tor Van Buren,! You would then be entitled
10 some consideration al his hands should he
be elected--which, may the Lord forbid!
Do you prefer the election of Cass to that
of Tay lor? Then 60 and vote for him; have
not word TO say. Ienter not into discus
sion of the merits of the two candidates-save
only so far as the free soil question is concern
ed. To those who expect 10 vote directly for
one or the other of the two prominent candi-
dates. offer no reasons why they sho, Id vote
for Taylor instead of Cass; it is time all such
had their minds made up on this question; but
it is to you rrhigs, you who have always been
wings, and who have stood by wing princi-
piles in times gone by-times when "men 5
hearts filled them, for fear, and for looking
after the Judgments" and talamities coming up
on our country;-you who are now on the
verge OF squandering your votes on man who
has not the shadow OF a chance in his favor,
and thus giving "aid and comfort TO the enc
my, at this critical moment when yonr aid is
most needed, when hope brightens in the pc
litical armament, and victory seem ready 10
perch on our banners;-tO you / address my
remarks, and TO you say, Will you do ill.,
Will you thus indirectly, and, as it would
seem, blindfold, aid the election Of "a man
whom, of all others, you should wish TO see
not elected? No, cannot believe that you
will. knop you will not, il you will but re-
fleet seriously Oh this subject for five minutes,
and then ask yourself, What shall | accom-
pish by voting for Van Buren,, unless it be TO
the election Of-Gen. Cass?
Sd. No doubt you expect your Democratic
brethren-those who have rallied upon the
Free Soil Platform"-to vote with you;--be
careful that you are not deceived! For my own
part, cannot avoid The conviction that they,
or majority Of them, will desert you when
the day for voting comes! may judge them
wrong; but know them, and you know them,
to be well trained, as party, and that they
will resort TO divers intrigues and pretences IN
order TO elect their party candidate. Mark my
words-you will find ii but ruse on their
part TO induce uhigs TO vote for Van Buren,,
and thus diminish the votes for Taylor; while
they themselves will pote for Cass. This is
my honest conviction--I cannot avoid it.; and
shall suffer myself to be made the dupc Of
designing and intriguing men--to be deceiucd

them in electing their candidate, Gen. Cass,
the very man OF all others wish to see defeat
ed? No, never l will run no risks in this
matter; will vote for ZACHARY TAYLOR, and
then shall know what am doing.
believe Gen. Taylor will get the electoral
vote of Indiana. hope he may; but mark
what | say: Nothing will prevent him but
rhigs noting for Van Buren,! II he looses this
State, it will be owing, in my judgment, to
nothing but the fact that ichigs have given the
State TO Cosby voting for the Buffalo Nom
inee" Wings of the ''iree soil party" are
you prepared for this? II so, then the sin be
upon your own heads. Look we'll TO this
matter, lest you shall regret your conduct
when il is too late for remedy!
But l am told, 'we mus, keep the free soil
party together, for il will be the main party
hereafter" Better let the party 60 to the dogs
than TO elect Gen. Cassl II the party shall be
needed, II can be sprung into being, full grown
during the next four years. Better look to the
election of the right kind of Congressman, for
here is where the work must be done after ali.
Give US :he right kind OF Congress, and Taylor
at its head, who will ''respect the will OF ihe
people, as expressed through their representa-
| tives," and we have nothing to fear. But
what can free soil Congress do, with Casa
its head, ready and pledged TO veto anything
in the shape of Free Soil Bill?
! Gen. Taylor is awhig, but not an ultra whig

Presidents of ultra politics! Gen. Jackson
was an ultra Democrat; an well did be make

ist; and he could lot rest till he forced upon
the country his personal and individu-

is so ultra that he would, if elected, allow his

Congress sand SO ultra warrior that feaI
he would plunge our country into another war
by attempting TO swallow all Mexico" Cuba

i Gen. Taylor is not an uItraist He is a
