ed by new class of emigrants-the Mexican
citizens and citizenesses, who have formed
friendly ties and relations with our country and

our countrymen, are flying from the certain
punishment and disgrace which awaits them
among their own degraded and cowardly peo-

thousand Mexican women following in the rear

So wrote yesterday an upright, intelligent,
strictly temperate and useful citizen, member
of the Luzerne County bar and lately Deputy
Attorney General for said county. Anew words
in explanation. Some three weeks since our
member of Assembly returned from Harrisburg
ill and was visited by his friends, by Blackman
among the number. His illness proved to be
Varioloid. The infection was spread, many
cases have occurred, all very mild ones, but
people became unnecessarily and foolishly alar-
med. Blackman who has recently lost his
wife and child, has been more than usually
melancholy, and his mind somewhat diseased
In this state of feeling he was attacked by the
disease, mildly like the other cases, but found

a right to claim. From his fathers he was

oC-f the Locofocos of Indiana have the
least ambition to make even a respectable show
of strength at the next election, they had
better appoint a committee to kick Chapman
out of the State. Here is a paragraph
from late number of his Indianapolis Senti-
mel:
"Taylor swoTe that our volunteers were coao-
ards, and of course the Quakers who are To
ries and all other Tories will hurrah for him
no matter If he had cut the threats of theil
mothers.
The Quakers are numero in Indiana
Their votes have great influence upon the re-
suit of every election in that State They art
as yirtuous md conscientious people as car
be found on earth, yet here we have locofoce
editor, the principal Locofoco editor of Indiana
the recognized Locofoco organ of that State
stigmatizing the W hole of them without dis
| friction as 8. Tories" and saying that the,
would hurrah for man ''irho had cut tn
tLrocts o. their motherst"
Of course We do not know how the Quakers
will vote at ut The November election, Of
whether they will vote at all, but we know
that they are the friends Of peace, and we dc
not think that the Sentineps denunclatlon ano
blackguardism are at all calculated either tt

notwithstanding his profession of arms. IS Ter

CITY OF EVANSVILLE:
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY6.

ALL RIeHT.-The sanction given by the
press of the country to the nomination of Gen.
Taylor is almost entirely unanimous. In our
own State we know of but one paper bearing
the proud title of Wing that has refused to
support the Philadelphia Nominees. The pa
per which we allude to is the lafayette Jour-
nal, edited by John B. Semans. The course
which this paper has pursued for some years
past has injured the great Wing party more
than any three Locofoco papers in the State
have in the same length of time. We under
stand that arrangements are being made to
establish Wing paper in Lafayette. If this
be true, it will be ''Good bye Major"
We know there are hundreds and thousands
of good men who were anxious to try the
Usage of Ashland" another heat, give him one
more round, and there were those who did
not think Gen. Taylor strong Wing enough for
them. He is, however, the nominee by the
voice Of the people expressed through their
Convention, and the question for such as have
any doubts about the matter, is whether they
prefer the honest and pure-hearted Taylor to
the intriguing polltlcian Cass. That is the
question. question which they will soon
settle in their minds. 1t is five months yet
to the election, and, though the day be far off
let us offer prediction as to the vote of the
First District of Indiana. We predict that
Gen. Taylor will receive larger majority in
this District than did Mr.. Profit in his best
race. We have pretty high opinion of our
faculty for foresight. For instance our readers
will remember the prediction we made some
time prior to the last August election, as to the
majority that Mr.. Embree would receive ovel
MIR. Owen, and, for which, every Locofoco foI
weeks afterwards, that we could get sight of
turned out of our way as though he was about
TO encounter member of some Lunatic Asy-
lum. Nevertheless the prediction was yeri-
fed.

GEN. CAss IN HIS OWN SrArE.-We copy the
following from the last number of the Detroit
Advertiser. The high responsibility of that
paper is satisfactory guarantee of the perfect
| truth of the statement:
A few days since the following bet was
made by a citizen of this county with one OF
the Cass delegates to Baltimore, and warm
| supporter of Gen. Cass, with the following re-
suit. The delegate was casing high for Gen.
Cass, and ready to bet .'any amount"
"Mr. -- bets Mr. -, delegate that,
If he will address to Gen. Cass respectful
note, asking his opinion upon the propriety of
appropriations by the general government for
improvements of lake harbors and rivers, if
ne lGen. Cass) replies to him, it will not be
IN favor OF such appropriations. The bet is
Tor suit of clothes, worth at least $50.
After the bet was drawn up ready to sign.
the delegate hesitated. as though he wished to
take the back track But, knowing that almost
any kind of bet would be safe, the following
one was proposed for another suit-giving the
delegate two chances TO win:
That, II the delegate would address note
to zen. Cass, asking him if he did not. one
week before he wrote the Hannegan letter in
favor OF the annexation of Texas express HIM
sell opposed to spch annexation, he General
Cass) would not answer definitely.
The delegate saw that he was i'm tight
place, and after making several efforts to play
the sscrawtish." he said, 'sGentlemen, l give i
up cave! What will you take?'

THIRTY THOUSAND WHIGs IN CouNcIL.-Ths
postponed Wing Ratification meeting tool
| place last nigh in Monument Square, The eve
ming was delightful. Notwithstanding the
announcement, that Mr.. Webster could not be
present, in consequence of severe indisposi
ton, and the fact that very large meeting
was held last evening, yet the people.poured
out in thousands from all parts of the city, and
before nine o'clock the entire square was
densely crowded, presenting congregated
mass of not less than thirty thousand souls
Ali the windows and doors of the surrounding
houses were filled mostly with ladies', who
lent their smiles, as if to complete the ratifica-
ton, The stand was handsomely decorated
and fine band discoursed at intervals most ell
oquent music.
Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, who spoke for
over two hours and a half, and during the
whole period SO completely enchanted the vast
audience that scarcely person left his posi-
ton from the beginning to the end of his re-
marks. We have time only in this brief no.
tice to say that it was one of the ablest and
and most eloquent political speeches we have
ever listened to. Every argument was sound,
and presentedso forciby that conviction must
follow. He was repeatedly and loudly cheer
ed, and though having spoken an unusual
length of time, the multitude did hot seem
willing that he should stop, which we think is
the highest evidence of his merit as speaker
Having concluded his remarks,
Coleman Yellott, of Baltimore, took thu
stand and spoke for some time in his usual hap
py manner. After closing his remarks, the
hour being late, on motion the meeting adj
Journed. A large procession headed by a band
OF music, flags, banners, transparencies, &C.,
escorted Mr.. Thompson to his lodgings at Bar
NUNS Hotel. where they gave him three hearty
cheers.
The meeting was altogether one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic we have ever seen
on any similar occasion. The warmest enthu-
siasm and most perfect unanimity of feeling
prevailed. The cheers for Tailor and Fillmore
were loud and long and O fter repeated. It was
decidedly most glorious meeting and gave ev-
dence that nothing can stop the mighty ava
lanche which is now sweeping over the coun-
try for old lack. The spirit is now aroused
and it cannot slumber, until Gen. Taylor is

GEN. CAss AN OLD FEDERALIsT.-We pre-
sumo it has not escaped the observation of our
readers. remarks the Daily Philadelphia News,
that all the prominent candidates for the Pres
idential nomination by the Baltimore Conyen-
ton, were old Federalists, dyed in the wool.
That party calling itself democratic" and
protesting holy horror for the Federalism of
the olden time, should now set up its cham,
pions and leaders, the men who are the very
embodyment of that federalism, is singularly
strange and inconsistent. But then, we are
getting used to political paradoxes, of all
sorts. and varieties. and are not usually dis
turbed by this last one Of the series.
Mr.. Buchanan, who received SO votes in
the Baltimore Convention, was one of the most
bitter and uncompromising Federalists in Penn
sylvania He opposed Madison and the war,
and as every shool-boy knows, went as far in
his opposition to Democracy, as to declare
that if he had drop of Democratic blood in
his veins, he would let it OUT This man is
profuse in his professions of Democracy"
and is held up as exempler and pattern of
that much abused term, BY interruptions parti-
Fans!
Mr.. Woodbury., who received SO votes in
the same Convention, wasa Hartford Conyen-
zionist, in the late war, and denounced the
cause OF the country as 'unwise and unpatri-
otto" He wore the black cockade, and glori-
ed in his Federalism! He is now a sDemo-
crat" of the straightest sect, and may be regard
ed as fair specimen of what constitutes the
modern Democracy. ..s.--
Gen. Cass, who has been the successful cam
didate of the Convention, is more than any of
the disappointed candidates, identified with
old federalism, and was, therefore, thought
most worthy of the confidence and support of
modern democracy! As to Gen. Cass' FEEDER
alism, there can be no doubt He wore the
black cockade, the great Distinguishing badge
worn by the Federalists in 1900. If any one
doubts this statement, we refer them to
Niles Register, the highest authority of the
kind in the country.

Senator Bright, who scintillated from the
travelling tail of candidate Cass to address a

Phil. ~. american.
oh it's burning shame, that man occupy
ing the high positionof U. S. Senator, should
thus undertake to disparage and sneer at the
personal bearing of the great conqueror in the
most glorious battle of the age. The country
is told by this Senator that Gen. TAYLOR did
nothing during the battle of Buena Vista. but
sit on old Whitley and say-''fight 'em, boys
fight EN-" Although the old chieftain guided
all the great movements upon that. immortal
field, it is not claimed BY his friends that he
made any speechesduring the battle halfas long
as those Mr.. Bright sometimes makesin the Sen
ate. Possibly he did not deem ii an occasion
for overmuch oratory. Sitting calmly upon
his old war-horse in the midst of the iron
storm that was hurting through the air from
the innumerable batteries of the enemy, few
brief sentences such as flight em, boys, fight
'em,' and ''a little more grape, Capt. Bragg, y
constituted the sum total of all his efforts al
rhetorical display. Lord Wellington, at the
most critical moment of the battle of Water
loo. merely said sup guards and at 'em. Pro-
badly if Senator Bright had commanded either
at Waterloo or Buena Vista, he would have
made terrible stump speech to his soldiers

very careful to select stump where he would
