A Coon Poet On 'raylOrisan an d
Taylor Harmony.

Z
Greiner, the wing pet, has worked his
muse up to the sticking point, and in the
Journal Of Saturday, he grinds out the
following:
sNine Taylors to make as,ngle man,
We always used to muster; st
Take nine such Taylorsas old lack,
And wouldn't he male BusTER!
There is some poetry and much truth
in the above. Gen. Taylor by his nomin-
alton burst-d the whig party into half .
dozen factions. Nine more such Taylor's
would burst it into fragments SO small
that each particular coon would have a
party Of his own.
Again the same poet, d whiggery says:
20 all We pouting, doubtiY Wings,
Who go about as mourrers,
Come wipe the teardrops from your eyes, as
stop croaking on the csrneIs.'
That's right Mr.. Poet stop them. They
have no right to croak on the corners,
even though they mour, whiggery dead
and ready to be buried.
The next verse is boh poetic and de-
scriptive.
All! me to hear these cro;kers croak,
o, 'tis ssin to Mosesp
They shuttle they scant 80 old Zack,,
And then they wipe thdr noses.'
If all who ''snuffle and cant 60 for old
Zack," perform the operation mentioned
in the last line, handkelchiefs must be in
demand, and washing log cheap.
Flour for doughfaced whiggery. and
poetry for the despondng, is riz.-Cam-
paign Statesman.

IfThe following is extracted from a
letter from highly respectable citizen Of
the United States, dated at Frankfort in
July last:
''Germany will attach itself more and
more to the U. S. The Germans consid-
er our country as their natural ally in the
prosecution Of the general welfare Of man.
kind. and will favor our commerce as
much as possible. A resolution declar-
ing their good will and best wishes for
our country has been offered in the Par
lament, and was responded to by gen.
eral rising, and repeated acclamations.'

s'he Shade IT sil:ss Wright De-
lOMnciaag Martin VAN Burem.

Below we publish short extract from
some remarks made years ago by the la
mented SlIAs WRIcHr, which hits the
Buffalo movement precisely. Let it be
read BY those, If any there be in Iowa,
who believe that Silas Wright, if living,
would now be with this sectional party
and with Van Buren, in his apostacy. If
any lover Of the dead statesman deems
that we, in applying the fitting epithet Of
an Arnold to the apostate, have done vio-
lence to the memory Of Mr.. Wright, let
him read the following. He will there
see that we were not the first to suggest
the epithet; and that we have but located
and applied one which Mr.. Wright gave
to all who follow in Mr.. Van Buren's
footsteps:-
eff there be those among us who, mis-
led by mistaken sympathy, or by sud-
den excitement upon any subject, and for
getting their obligations to the whole coun-
try, to the Constitution and the Onion, let
us use every effort Of persuasion. and ex-
ample to awaken them to a sense of their
dangerous error. Ii those who for the
sake Of private interest, personal ambition
or nomentary political success, are will
ing to experiment upon the political pas
sions, to treat lightly their Constitutional
obligations, to foment sectional iealousies,
and raise up geographical distinctions
within the Union, let the absence of our
countenance and support convince such
that the personal gratific ,tion or public
services Of any living man, are not objects
OF sufficient magnitude TO be gained at the
expense Of the harmony Of the country,
the peace of the Union, or a single letter
in the list Of our constitutional duties.
''lf among us there be any, which
Heaven forbid, who are prepared for any
earthly object to dismember our confede-
racy, and destroy the constitution which
binds us together, let The fate of an .Arnold
be theirs, and let the de,estation and scorn
Of every American be their constant COM
panions, until, like him they shall aban-
don country whose rich blessing they
are no longer worthy to enjoy"

FooD ABROAD The late accounts from
England appear to confirm the apprehen-
sions which have been entertained as to
the existence Of disease in the crop of po-
tatoes, while the continuance Of uniavora-
BILE weather has excited some alarm in re-
ference to the grain crops. Under such
circumstances, therefore, it seems quite
probable that deficiency 10 some extent
in the supply ofthe necessaries Of life will
exist, and that we may in the course Of
the winter, become exporters Of consider
able quantities Of at least the lower des-
criptions Of bread-stuffs, ii not Of the more
valuable.

I3Modest john Van Buren,, who is
on an election tour for his father, in late
speech at Philadelphia, said:
''He regarded the nomination of Gen.
Taylor as total failure. The enthusiasm
which was supposed to be in existence
has never had existence, and he who would
undertake to get up an excitement would
have narrow escape of being indicted as
a resurrectionist." Roars Of Iaughter.]
The resurrectionizing Of a shadowy,
immaterial thing, which "never had an
existence" we reckon, would hardly sup.
port an indictment.-Cin. Enquirer.

if it were true, we know wing editor or
two who would have got the whisky and
guzzled it down. il it had cost them a

1.-The Boston Post states the question
IS to General CAss and the new Terrific
ries, in the following language:
"There is not a line or word written OF
uttered by General Cass, in favor Of ex-
tending slavery into territories now free.
No man can produce such sentiment or
thought from MIN. He is for giving to the
south all the rights in the new territories
which the constitution and their compact
gives them, and no more. Where is the
northern man who does avow that he will
deny them that right? Not one. who is
not IA disunionist at heart. II any portion
Of the south demand MORE than that right.
General Cass is opposed to it. And what
southern man will avow that he claims
more than the constitution gives? No,
one, unless he is disuniouist."

Taylor.-Free Soil.

A FORGERY. We notice in the last Patriot an
article 10 the effect that one of the Wing candl-
dates for ecctor IN Louisiana has stated that
Taylor will veto the Wilmot Proviso. Unques-
tionaby forgery. More than two months ago
one Of the Wing candidates for elector in that
state declared that Gen. Taylor would not veto
the Wilmot Proviso; and more recently the
same declaration has been made by another dis.
tinguished son of that state who resides near
Gen. Taylor. We can account for The Patriot
story only upon the supposilon that some over
jealous Cass editor has purposely lett the not
out of the account, for the purpose of injurng
Taylor at the North.
AN lmI oRTANT OPINION. -The West Chester
Register says Recorder Baldwin, of New Or
leans, was recently on visit to that borough,
being native of The county. He IS intimately
acquainted with General Taylor, and says he is
sure that the General would not, if President
veto bill containing the Wilmot Proviso. The
Recorder is sure too, that the General would not
veto bill abolishng slavery in the District of
Columbia. The Recorder himself is Free
SOL man, as are hundreds and thousands of 9TH
ers at the South.
we have in our possession high authority for
adding, that Mr.. Baldwin has not misrepresented
Gen. Taylor.

They will honor john QUINCY ADAMS, rather
than his son Charles.
In Pennsylvania the Wing expectations are
sanguine and so also in Ohio Tom Corwin,
with large number of eloquent speakers, is do
ing good service Oh the stump. On the Western
Reserve-the Vermont of the West-where are
to be found as strong anti-savery Wings as the
Union produces, Van Burenism does not flourish {:
the Reserve, says a correspondent Of the N. Y.

On the whole, the prospect is good. Let the
Wings work with wl-work well, and all to-
gether-and theirs will be the victory.

SNAKES IN THE GRASS,

1t is rumored that couple of uneasy locoio-
co dcmagogues, -one a Cass leader, whose resi-.
dence is in Orange, and the other Van Buren,
leader who is tolerably well known in Addison
county,-have been planning more perfect Co.
aliion of the Cass men and Vanites in Vermont
for the disposal of the State offices, Sonatorshp
electoral vote, and federal appoiniments-th
last of course contingent upon the success of
CAss. Gentlemen, you are too well known to
the people of Vermont to succeed in making
them the tools for working out fat offices for you
to enjoy. Ii we are not mistaken, there are
Democrats too hgh-minded TO join in your tricks
Free Soil men too wary to be caught in your
tolls Wings too wide awake to suffer any inin-
ry from your puny efforts. You have before tri
ed your hand at intrgues. When the unti-ma-
sonic party dissolved, you attempted to carry the
rank and file over 10 Van Buren-it was in vain.
Mr.. Van Buren,, however, was elected without
the aid of Vermont; and then you, gen,lemen
undertook 20 dispose Of the federal offices, thro'
a legislative caucus, promising "tc give the
democratic party of the state the ascendancy at
the next election" in case your nominees were
successful. We have in our possession the orig
inal draft of your letter to Van, in Ned's hand
writng,-from which we quote. But in this at.
tempt, too, you were unsuccessful; and YER
mont did not 60 for Van in 1910. We rather
think that neither Van nor Cass can get Yer

There have always Leen too many staunch
Wings in the Legislature, and too many Wing
votes at the polls, for you to succeed. So mote

Argument of a Cass Man.

Van can't possibly be elected President by
Congress he hasn't dozen friends there. Cass
stands no chance with the people, but has the
best chance in the House for President and
Butler would be sure of an election as Vice in
the Senate. My duty as Cass and Butler man
is therefore to throw the election into Congress
and this is to be done by coaescing with the Van
Buren, men in the Wing States.
There is a genuine Cass argument, such as
has been actually advanced among the Cass
men in Vermont. Where is there Free Soil
Wing who will and this scheme for electing CAss

MORE COALITION.
ew York Tribune of Monday saws

The New York Tribune of Monday says:
awe hear through channels that enatle us TO
state with confidence, that the leading Hunkers
of our State mediate the withdrawal of their e.
lectora ticket at the polls in favor of that Of the
Regular Democracy, which is pledged to Van
Buren, and Adams, thus ceasing to distract the
Democratic party, 50 far as the Presidency is
concerned"
OF course the I,ocos who mediate this, know
that it is the only chance of eectng CASSIDY
throwing the election into Congress. The Free
Soil wings will not help them in this Cass game,
and thousands of the democratic rank and file
will also bolt. They are beginning 10 do so in
the city already. We believe New York sure
for Taylor, even against such coalition.
