the sequel proves! At the last accounts
Brown had abSolutel y cared IN and ta-

people that, since his opponents rejec-

had no occupation and followed no visa

msspending his time aud his means, and
therefore, was, TO all intents and SIr'

South Carolina.

The friends of General Taylor had a
meeting at Temperance Hall in Charles
ton on the evening of the 18th. The
Charleston Patriot speaks of it as an i'm.
mense gathering and adds:
"The spacious building was thronged
To overflowing, and great numbers left,
unable to effect an entrance from the
masses that filed the approaches to the
Hall. Every portion of tho Hall was
crowded to suflocalon. and the proceed
ings throughout marked by spirit OF
deep enthusiasm. The greatest una
nimity prevailed the immense assem-
blage; but one Feeling seemed 10 actn,
ate them"
Speeches were made by the Hon. E
II. Holmes and by several of the Other
Of the most distinguished men of South
Carolina. We hardly thiak, however
that South Carolina will vote for Taylor
I probably she will either throw her vote
away by declining to cast it for eithe
of the candidates, or throw herself away
by casting it for Cass.-Lou. JOur.

The Taylor Platform.

The Hon. CHARLES HuDsoN, Of Mass
achusetts, addressed a short speech to the
recent Wing State Convention of that
State, and in The course oft, told the fol-
lowing anecdote, illustrative of the plat
form upon which Gen. TAYLOR stood and
ought to stand:
Gentleman, we heard in the course of
this Convention, and we have heard in
our various places, befnre this Conven-
ton assembled, great deal said about
the platform that the different parties
have put before the country. We have
heard of the Baltimore platform, and the
Buffalo platform; and it has been made a
charge to the Wing party that they have
nominated a candidate. and put forth no
platform. Now ,fe ellow-c citizens,the course
which would recommend 10 you to pur-
sue, under these circumstances, is happi-
ly illustrated by an incident which occur
red in this county some years ago, and al
place not far from my present resi-
dence. The good people in one of the
towns, some half century since. was call
ed upon to settle clergyman. They
heard various candidates.; at last they
were perfectly satisfied with one whom
they had tried for a short time. The
arrangements were made for the ordina
lion. Two good pious members of the
church were selected on the committee
There was residing in that town, at the
same time, an honest, straightforward
plain sea captain, probably not very much
versed in the intricacies and windings o
theology and theological terms. Thi
committee convened. The question wa
at once agitated-on what platform thi
clergyman should be settled. The one
I believe, was in favor of the Cambridge
platform, the other of the Saybrook plat
form. After disputipg few moments
upon the subject, the honest st-heurted sci
captain was called upon to decide thu
question. "On which platform" sai'
they, "shall this clergyman he settled
the Cambridge or Saybrook" 81 know
nothing of your platforms; settle him up
on the constitution" (Applause.)
Well, now, fellow-citizens, if it he ask
ed what the Wings shall doat the coming
eleclion-on what platform they vii
elect General Taylor, my answer to then
is similar to the answer given by the Sc
captain, on that occasion. | know moth
ing of the Buffalo platform, or the Baltj
i, more platform; elect him upon the col
s,itution; upon that he will stand -upo
that he will administer the Government

An Old Baby.

Colonel Sawyer, in his speech last Sat
urday astonshed his auditory by the
statement that when he was baby in hi
mothers arms, General Cass was standing
sentinel on our orthwestern frontier pro
tecting him aud his smama from the hostile
savuges. The Col. is now fifty odd years
of age, consequently he must have been
twenty, or upwards, at the time of Gen
Casss military services. How gratifying
il must have been To the anxious mother
to know that the hero of Duck Creek
was standing between her darling t,oen
~ year. old baby and the bloody ingens.

A Wise Answer.

The Palmyra Courier tells a good an
ecdote illustrating the view which is Ia
ken of Mr.. Van Buren's course. and the
course of those who support him. The
story runs thus: A venerable clergyman
in an adjoining county, was holding ia
miIiartalk with his Van Buren, son-in-law
lately, on politics. The young man was
urging an entire forgelfulness ofVan Bu-
ren's past misdeeds, and areference only
to his present apparent position. Sup
pose man, after living life Of wicked
ness, should repent and ask To be receiv-
ed into your church-wouldn't you ad-
mitl" he inquired. Certainly" was the
reply of the clear-headed old man; "cer-
tainly, If his repentance was sincere; but
until we have tried his faith. nee woHIdn't
make a Bishop Of him." That's it,

The Cleveland Herald states The fol-
lowing fact. Where is Mr.. Giddimgs!
On Board the steamer American, yes
tcrdny, from Buffalo, an enthusiastic Lo.
cofocoof ourcity, in declaring his "vews"
to knot of passengers, said the basis of
his prcdileclion for Gen. Cnss was. that
the General was opposed to the exteu-
sion of Slavery aud in favor Of tho princi
pies of the Wilmot Prroviso. Ono ol
his hearers who happened TO DO a gentle
man from Louisiana. rcplied:-"We are
both Cuss men, sir, but see you are ad
vocatiug his election on wrong grounds
|, cannot he that Gen Cass is in favor o
the Wilmot Prnviso. His Nicholson let
ter folbids such conclusion. In my
State, sir, we ground our hostility to Gen
Taylor on the fact that, by the terms o.
his first letter to Captain Allison, he
stands pledged To approve a bill apply
ing the principles of the Wilmot Provis'
To the Territories Of New Mexico anl
California"
The discussion then stopped!

tVThe pledge of General Taylor not
to interfere with the legislation uf Con
gress either by the patronage ofhis office
as President, or the exercise of the Ve-
To power upon grounds Of expedency,as
some other Presidents have done, and
both Cass and Van Buren, have threaten
ed 10 (the one when he was President
before, and the other now that he is can
didnte) is a very strong recommendation
of him to the public favor. Heretofore
too much of the Legislation of the country
has been the work Of the Executive. A
President ought to recommend what he
deems beneficial measures, but he should
let the will oflhe people, as reflected by
their Representatives, predominate, in
their adoption or rejection. On this sub
ject we highly approve General Taylor's
position. and think every true and gen
uine Republican must do the same. We
want no zone man. power at the head OF
our Republican Government. We rely
upon an enlightened Congress to pass
laws, and only want President to see
that they are faithfully executed. We
would much rather trust Congress than
any one man to legislale for the country
81 far as We are concerned. Ii they erl
at session they are apt soon to find it out
or be reminded oft by their constituents
and can correct the error.
