A good story is told of Senator Allen, at Philadelphia. When on board the boat, and about to leave the city, Gen. Cass, being fatigued, requested Senator Allen to return his acknowledgements to the crowd which had accompanied him to the warf MT. Allen ascended the deck and commenced. The captain of a steam boat, which had come in loaded with whig delegates, undertook to drawn his voice by letting off steam. Aliens voice raised and so did the noise of the steampipe, and thus they had it, whistle steamboat, scream Allen; but the Stentorian lungs of the latter prevailed, and far above the noise of the engine was heard the trum- pet-toned voice of the tall Senator. The captain gave it up-swearing that it was the first time that his boat was ever beat. Talk no more about the bull that was but. ted off the bridge by locomotive, when western democrat can talk down a steamboat :-Correspondence cf the ".

Louisville (Ky.) Meeting.

Charles M. Thruston, a Whig orator at this meeting, delivered himself, after the following fashion. More scaniing irony than we have ever seen:
 "Mr. Clay was my first and last choice would be my choice above all beings, for President of the United States love him, I adore him Il clasp him to my bosom with the ardor and affection of brother! He is the nvblest of Gods created beings but. alas he has been "set at naught by the builders" ,"-andI submit yield my preference, and go in for old Zac he isenow my man-aye, sir, continued MT. Thruston, "and go for old Whitey too 1! Old Zac and old Whaey will make a first rate President. With them what matters it to talk about principles Principles are obsolete ideas. They are current coin he that had them yesterday, parts with them to day. Henry Clay has principles, but they are not acalable-no. sir Pa- ,.o A., Monterey, Buena Vista, are taie principles of tho whig party and Gen. Taylor their expounder, with" ia little more grape. Captain Bragg" That's hetime o'day, Mir. Chairman. And now l am donc-but before finish, call for three cheers for Old Zac." .a9i4
 The faint cheers were accordingly given, and the meeting broke up. A good deal of inquiry has been made into Gen. Taylor's meaning when he wrote in his various letters "I am WHIc, but not an ULTRA Wnrc"
 The perplexityi is not diminished by tho assertion made in the Philadelphia con. vention by Colonel Haskell, ofTennessee that Gen. Taylor said to him in his tent at Matamoras--"I am WHIG and quar. ter ouer."
 Here is a perplexing problem for the whigs as well as the no-party men. A whig, but not an ultra wtig,--a whig ant quarter orer. But is he not an ultra whig, only because he is twenty five pcl cent more whiggish? Is he with his rough and ready treatment of the degrees of comparison better whig than the best, or, we would describe it, worse whig than the worst--as far as the tarthes and great deal farther Or does h' mean that he is "a quarter over" on th' other side? If so, is he quarter ove and away from the New England anti slavery margin or from the Southern side Or is he whole whig and quarter dc mocratl Or is hc whole whig with tho quarter native American
 The General writes with such fuen Iooseness, that every thing wo hear iron him creates some new political puzzle and puts his friends into some new per plexity. Ht

From the Cincinnati Signal. Gen. Taylor and shc Presidency.

We perceive in various quarters, the nomination of General Zachary Taylor for the presidency. So far as such de- monstration is the mere transport of mili- tary enthusiasm, or the trick of political faction, it would he unworthy of notice; but we think 1t evident that this movement of the public mind has much higher character, and grows out of a conviction that General Taylor has displayed an ener- gy and wisdom of conduct, and nodes tv of demeanor, which are as requisite to the deliberations of cabinet as the plan of campaign. It is {. a great mistake to suppose that tho people are blinded in their political preferences by the bear fact of military achievement It was the pop. ular impulses and the stern honesty of An drew Jackson which aroused the sympa- thy and trust of the nation, and we pre- dict that, whatever skill or success may attend the march of General Scott :o Mexico, he will never excite the attach ment or confidence which follows the he- TO of Buena Vista We are not surpris- cd, therefore, that ardent spirits are cal. ling for the sword of General Taylor to cut the Gortlian knot of political intrisues. But it is a far different question whether his name and fame shall be made an in- strumeht of mere partisan warfare. In this respect, there is q distinction which we arc confident General Taylor will bo among the first to perceive an act upon, and which VIC hone to ilI,Is'-n.c i- ,he f "

From ihe Fioridian WHO'LL VOTE FOR FILLMORE

In March, ls42, the Territorial Legis. lature of Florida, saw proper in its wis dom to pass law prohibiting the migra- ton of free negroes or mulatoes to this Territory. This bill was approved by Gov. CALL, on the 9th March, lS42 as ap- pears from the journals of that year. The sympathetic Aboltionist of the North, however, could not submit to such blot on our statute book, accordingly we find the matter brought to the notice of the House of Representative by Mir. MORGAN and Mir. BRIGGs, now Governor of Massa- chusetts. .,On the 3d of January, l343, "Mr. MORGAN presented Q resolution in- structing the Committee on Territories to inquire into the expediency of repeating an act passed by the Territorial Legisla- ture of Florida entitled An Act to prevent the future migration or emigration of free negroes or mulatoes into said Territory or so much tAereof as imposes q eapitation tar on such of them as may enter said Territory, and authorizes their sale for ninety mine gears for non n-payment cf said tar. rga ia
 "Mr. BLACK moved to lay the resolu. ton on the table. fN H
 "Mr. JAMES called for the yeas and nays, which was ordered and being ta. ken, resulted iD yeas ll3, nays SO,"-- FILLMORE, Giddings, Gates, Slade and Winthrop voting Nol or in fapor of the resolution !-2d session 27 Congress. p. lO6, 107. a. te Bniia On tine 23d February, ls43, MT. BRIGGs asked leave to submit the follow. ing resolution.
 "Whereas all laws passed by the Gov ernor and Legislative Council of Florida are in full force, until disapproved by Con- gross therefore. sa
 "Resolred, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed, forthwith, to re. port the following bill:
 "Be tt enacted the Senate and House of Representatives. of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That an act passed by the Governor and Legis lative Council of the Territory of Florida approved by the said Governor on the 5tf day of March, 1642, entitled" An act t prevent the future migration of free ne groes or mulattoes to this Territory, ant other purposes be, and the same is here by, disapprovcd, and shall henceforth b' of no force."

"SAvE ME FROM MY FRIENDS !"-The Boston Atlas, as quoted by the National Intelligencer, of June 18th, endeavors to, rally the friends of Clay and Webster to the support of the Taylor ticket, in the following strain. What will southern whigs say to such recommendations of "old Zack's" opinions? Don't all speak at once
 "Let them, (the Whigs,) if they really mean to be right, and to act for the best, and with clear consciences, consider whether they really have any good grounds for their hesitation to support Gen. Fay Tor. Let them learn--as they will learn. Gen. Taylor is whig in principles; is in favor of peace; opposed to all war betieres slauery to De curse to the coun- try, ani desires is ert rmination; and IS opposed to the further ertension yf slare territory. When they shall learn these things, we believe that no man who tru- y loves the whig party, and who believes its success essential to our safety and prosperity, can for moment hesitate to believe his duty calls him to give ham his ardent and jealous support"
 And the same whig paper--the Atlas. further sets forth the same idea, in the fol> lowing extract
 "Col. Johnson, of Upper Piqua, Ohio, who was selected by the whigs of Miami as their delegate to the Conventon-a staunch, undoubtcd whig--who has in long life devoted to the cause, done it great service-a delegate to Harrisburg in 1889, and to Baltimore in 1s44, and who has known Gen. Taylor long and inti- mately, writes, in letter before us, that he is all that we could desire upon this ve. " point. He writes that he has heard him declare, with much force, that he re- garded slavery as great evil to the coum- try, and expressed strong hope that the time might arrive when we could get rid of it altogether; and Col. Johnson de- clares his frmcst conviction, that Gen. Taylor 'is the last man to countcna,.ce as being ertensled Co any new territory hat mag bc brought into the Union"
 Doubtless all this is for "Bunker"-a clap.trap device to gain votes for Gen. Taylor at the North, bua in view of it's in- huence upon the people of the South, we'll may Gen. Taylor, in bro1eness of heart, say, Save me from my (newy acquired) friends, and will take care of my ene- mics"

From the Democrat. A Democratic Song.

OM Grey Goose smiling d
 Me G0nder. Ye Democrats come out once more, Fresh laurels still keep winning, own the Coons are very poor, And scarcely worth the skinning. Chorus--O look away North, look away
 South,
 For Cass is outa gunning,
 And Butler too is in the chase,
 o see the Coons all running, In iorty-iour we struck their track, Their hides went to the tanner, And now we'll fay that old coon Zack, That lives in Louisiana,
 Look way North, &c. No claims on earth has that old Coon, But still the wbigs all prailie, He won that day in Mexico, Al Blena Vista's battle.
 Oh look, &c., Old Zach they say has won great fame, By pulling of the trigger, And Fillmore he is coming South, To liberale the Nig5er.
 o look, &c. The coons who vote for Fillmore now, Had better have the cholc, For he is picking his banjo strings, For Southern negro frolic.
 o look, &c. o Fillmore loves the sonty face, He's raised the negro Banner, And advocates that woody race, That lives in Louisiana.
 o look, &c. Ye democrats once more unite, And raise Cass to promotion, For checking Britain's right of search, Upon the briny ocean.
 o look, &c., When British foes did him surround, His sword from him to plunder, Enraged he dashed il. on!the ground, And broke his sword asunder.
 o look, &c. Go search the list of mighty names, Aud Cass is worth them all, A General in the battlefield. A Statesman in lhe Hall.
 o louk, &c. Kentucky's noble hearted son, Is call'd from fields all goiy, In Southern climes where he has won, Immortal fame and glory.
 o look, &c., And now .hey're fairly on the track, Let doubts no more be roaming, For we are sure to beat oli Zack, Look! CAss and BurLEa's coming.
 O look, &c.
