The Southern Wings.

The Raleigh, IN. c. Register denoun.
ces Gen. Cass as "Wiimot Provisoist,' -
and q Northern Abolitionis,i Hero the
wings denounce him, because they say he
is opposed to the Wilmot Proviso. The
Register says his Tennessee letter does not
60 far enough. The wings of. the north
denounce him because :hey say he went
too far!
Again: The Nashville Wing, the lead
ing Federal organ Of Tennessee, opposes
Gen. Cass, because, as he charges, "the
position of Gen. Cass upon the slavery
question is more dangerous 10 the South
than the "Wilmot proviso." Here, the
Fede ralists oppose him because they say
he is doagh5ace, and that his position
upon the subject Of slavery is more obnox-
ious to them than is that of John G. CAL
houn! Such is harmonious whiggery!

Value Of a Good Character,

The tNew York Courier and Enquirer
(James Watson Webb's paper,) of May
3Oth, publishes an article on Gen. Cass, in
which occurs the following frank tribute to
his character and talents, and considering
the rank hatred to the principles of the dem
ocratic party of this paper, it is entitled to
a passing notice from those who have heap
ed slanderous falsehoods against the char
acter of the old General:
at is too much the custom of the mere
party press to perceive nothing but what is
evil in an opponent, and only good qualities
real or imaginary-in political friend.
We accordingly find Gen. Cass spoken of
as a man without character and without
political strength. This is a great error.
In all the relations of private life, Gen.
Cass has been known to the writer for
nearly thirty years; and more estimable
father and husband, or more honorable,
conscientious gentleman, we are Lot &C
quainted with. OF his talents, there can
be no question; ard were he whig in prin-
ciple, the election of no man to the Presi-
dency, would give us more pleasure"

"Wait a little Longer" !"

The editor of the N. Y. Tribune, who
all along has been one Of the most bitter
opponents Of the war extant and who was
deadly hostile to the no mination of Gen.
TAYLOR, closes column leader, announ-
cling the nomination, thus:
''for our part we shall take time for re-
Election. Ifit shall appear to US that the
support Of Gen. Taylor is the only course
by which the election of Cass can be pre-
vented, we shall feel bound to concur in
that support. If, on the contrary the de-
ve1opcments of the next few days shall
prove that the Free States are now ripe
for the uprising which mast come sooner
or later, and which this nomination has
done very much to precipitate, why then
zee are ready. Our present impression is
that the time has not arriyed-we shall
see.''
Thus discourses Horace Greely the faith
er Of abolition Whiggery over the whig
nomination. He would support Satan
himself if he thought there was possibil.
ty Of defeating the Democratic nominee
with him.

The Union publishes letter from Mr..
MosEs, the leader OF the Florida delegation
at Baltimore, from which the following is
an extract:
Every hours reflection confirms me in
approval Of the Florida instructions, and
sustnins me IN my determination not to-
support the nominations until the candidate
shall clearly recognize the equality of the
States and the rights Of the South to re-.
move with the property into any of he
territories of the United States. Should
such position be taken, repeat what said
in convention, that Florida will wheel in:o
fine, and cast her vote for the nominees Of
the convention. She has no personal pref:
erences, and is thoroughly Democratic.

Anti-Taylor Demonstration.

this county, was held in this place on Fri
day last. There was respectable mum.

cluding the lookers-on. The meeting was
addressed by the Hon. Daniel R. Tilden,

was very severe upon Gen. Taylor, and
also upon the democratic candidates for

there were no questions at issue between
the two great parties Of the country, that

HOW THE BRITISH RECEIVE THE
NOMINATION OF GEN. CASS. =

HOW The BRITISH RECElVE n II1E
NOMINATION OF GEN. CASS.
The Allies have fresh confederate in
their hostility to Gen. Cass. The British
come to the aid of the eforlorn hope" Hos
tihty to that brave, patriotic, and enlighten-
ed man. is now composed of the Wings
proper, and British Tories.
The New York Albion is the only openly
British newspaper in the United States. 1t
is owned and edited by British subject, a
native of England, and who speaks on this
side of the Atlantic for British interests. 1t
is a journal cf more than fifteen years
standing, and distinguished for tory princl-
plies, and high order of talent. In the
last number, after announcing the nomina-
ton Of Gen. Cass, it gives him the following
warm reception. Let true Americans read
it, and blush for the men who join with this
British journal in defaming the brave sold
ier and enlightened statesman, whose heart
never knew an impulse that was not tor his
country.
The Albion, announcing the nomination
of Gen. Cass, gives the vote, and says:
"Had any other candidate been nom1na-
ted, we should have contented ourselves with
announcing the fact, but Gen. Cass has on
repeated occasions MANIFESTED 50
HOSTILE 4 FEELING TO GREAT
BRITAIN, that aUe mast add oar express
sion of regret at seeing him in this promi-
nent position before the country. We can
not forget his undisguised and repeated eff
forts, when minister at the court OF France,
to plunge Great Britain and France into a
war on the yexed question Of the right Of
search. The steps that he then took might
have been correct sub rosa, according to the
lax code of diplomatic morality; but urged
as his arguments were through h the medium
of public letters, they were dangerous to the
peace of Europe, and ofenssre to Grea'
Britain, with whom the country he repre-
sented was at peace.
"The debates on the Oregon question
again furnished Gen. Cass with opportuni
ties for venting his il[will toacard as, ant
his disposition to bring on war. And still
the same animosity rankles in his mind i
we may judge by the late debates In the U
S. Senate on the proposed reliefto fueatan.
Such, says the Troy Commercial Adver
tiser, is the feeling of every British Wing o
Tory in the United States or England
Wherever you find British sympathies
you will find the same expression. Jackson
and Cass both fought gallantly in our sec
ond war of indepe dence; and Jackson wrot
to Gen. Cass letter in lS43, in which h
spoke of the course of the latter when il
France in terms of highest praise and honor
Gen. Jackson differed wholly from thi
British editor in his estimate of Gen. Cass

Consistency.

The federal papers of the North that
sustain the nomination of the Philadelphia
convention, are laboring with might and
main to convince the people that General
Tayl lor is ant:.slavery in sentiment and
feeling and that he is opposed to the fur.
ther extension of slavery. At the same
time they labor diligently to produce the
belief that General Cass is pro-slavery in
sentiment, and that he is in favor Of the nc.
QUESTION of territory for the purpose of ex.
tending the curse of slavery over it. Yet
these same papers and their followers con-
tend that General Taylor will receive the
vote of every slaveholdng State. While
the wings of the north are endeayoring to
do this, the WHICH of the South are moving
heaven and earth to prove that General
Cass is a "Wilmot Provisoist'' and north.
ern abolitionist, and that his position on
the question of slavery is more dangerous
to the South than is the Wilmot proviso;
and that General Taylor is q genuine anti
Wilmot Proviso whig, and they do not need
to go far for proof Of the truth of their as
sertions. Such is the admirable consisten-
cy of whiggery. How well they will sue
ceed in deluding the people remains to be
seen. But if Gen. Taylor is opposed to
the extension Of slavery why does not he or
the convention which nominated him tell
the people SO; if he is opposed in sentiment
and feeling to this system Of human bond
age and servitude, why does he not strike
of the letters from his 2s0 slaves and bid
them breathe the Dir of freedom and re-
joice in their liberty. Gen. Coss has no
sympathy with the institution Of slavery
his feelings, his early prejudices, and the
convictions of his reason are opposed to the
existence Of slavery-he ss'would not have
slave to till his ground" The opposition
charge that Gen. Cass is in favor of the
extension of slavery; and yet they fail to
cite single paragraph from his pen, or
word from his lips going to show that he is
in favor of the extension of slavery into ter.
ritory now free, or to the acquisition of ad-
ditional slave territory. These groundless
charges are made for the purpose of max.
ing something for the whig cause, and for
that purpose they scruple at nothing, and
sncrifce every thing. "We stoop conquer"
is their motto.
