The wings dislike the idea OF indemnity for

which they believe, or have contended, at least,
do not amount TO over two millions IL does not

that that sum must be paid IL is the margin;

of territory to be ceded to the United States

WHO IS

WHO IS CHEATED?-We learn
through the woodvill Mass. Republican,
that quite an amusing affair came of at q
large political meeting Of both parties, in
Wilkinson county, q few days ago.
During the discussion Judge Smith, the
democratic speaker, made a proposition
that the voters present wings and demo-
crsts-sign and address a letter to General
Taylor requesting him to state, in the first
place, whether he is in favor Of extending
the ordinance of 's7 over the newly scquir-
ed territories of the United States; and in
the second place, whether, if he be elected
President. he would approve a bill to ex-
tend the said ordinance of '87 over said
territories.
A motion was made to sign and address a
similar letter to Gen. Cass, which was
promptly agreed by the democrats.
Mr.. Stewart, the whig speaker, seeing
that the affair was becoming too serious,
got up and charged that sit 1.-THE letter.
is a democratic trap set to catch the wings;
that if General Taylor answered the letter,
1t would be circulated all over the North
and West, to injure him in the free States"
The result was, the wings backed out
refusing to acceed to the proposition made
by Mr.. Smith amended at the suggestion of
the wings themselves. As may be sup
posed, the democrats had the hurrah of the
wings the remainder Of the meeting.
Mr.. Stewartwas a Harrison ~elector in 40,
and a Clay elector in 1914, end is one Of
the leading wings Of Mississippi. He stated
in his speech that if he were satisfied Nj.
fillmore was a Wilmot provisoist, he would
not support him.
By refusing 10 acceed to Judge Smiths
proposition, Mr.. Stewart virtually acknowl-
edged that a game of deception was being
played by General Taylor's friends.-[Er-

turn, his old associates in vain persuaded
him to alter his determination. Or various
festive occasions they had endesvored to
induce him to join them in pledging each
other, but his answer had always been the
same. This was the first time since his re-
turn that wine had been introduced in the
presence Of ladies. It was resolved to try
whether the influence of the sex would not
break q resolution which more than one felt
to be a reproach on himself. How the

And seen thee heartless, false, unkind

Whose lost love thou shalt vainly sue;
Whose trusting heart and broken peace
Were once the sport Of thy caprice.

To think that / should be thy bridei
To dwell upon the love.vows spoken,
Nor dream those vows could Ger be broken,

To have the near me yeti bless

Which hid thy crimes and faults fren view.
