heard these expressions in our own perso n.
II will be borne in mind that we have al
ways confidently affirmed our belief that
such was Gen. Taylor's ground. Every
thing we hear from him, auihen:ically, goes
10 confirm it. The Allison letter, ii is plain,
positively commits him to this very position.
Now what reasonable man, under the sun,
will demand of Gen. Taylor to express him
self more explicitly? Who can ask him to
pledge himself 10 sectional opinions, made o.
dious in the eyes ofso many Southern men,
by the acts of rabid abolitionists, after dis
unctly asserting that he will not use his iniu-
ence against those opinions-as President
of The Nation ?-Nobody makes so absurd a
except Gen. Taylor's bilterest
enemies-enemies that would not vote for
him, even if pledged to all they demand.

The Compromise Bill"

Our readers, We trust, will give an attentive
perusal to the communication of Senator Phelps,
in our paper ofto-day. We are satisfied, and have
been so from the first, that the ground taken by
Judge Phelps was misrepresented and misunder-
stood. and we had written an article of that i'm
port which only the news of the defeat of the
bill prevented our publishing-it being then too
late to serve its purpose. We think our read
ers will agree with US, that the outcry raised a.
gainst this bill was altogether premature and I'M
unwarranted, and that the great principles offree
dom, for which we contend, were by no means
deserted, or even, in any proper sense, 'comProm-
ised by the Territorial Bill-The whole matter
is clearly and concisely explained in the commu-
nication to which we refer. There is not in the
Senate a frmer champion and supporter of Free
ON in the Territories, than Judge Phelps-and
we believe his course will be approved by his con-
stituents, the moment they take the pains to I'M
derstand it.

MIR. SHADES Credentials.

was appointed Secretary of State, and that
with loud professions of Reform, R etrench-

move almost every individual from Office,
who had opposed the election of Jackson.
VIM. Slade was at this time Clerk in the
Stale Department, having his appointment
under John Quincy Adams, and was also
warm adherent OF the Adams party. In
this stale ofthings, on or about The 18th of
March. 1929, Mr.. Slade received the commu-
nlcaiion TO which we refer. As this gentle
man is 'raversing The country, begging do

polite call for his credentials, in The latter ca

THE MEETING AT ALBANY.

The following is the concluding part Of the
Report of the Committee to whom was refer
red Gen. Taylor's letter to MIR. Pringle, at a
meeting of the Wings of Albany, on Satur-
day, the goth ult., who reported on Monday,
of last week:
Your Committee do not see in this letter of
General Taylor, anything inconsistent with
the course he has uniformly pursued, and he
was nominated at the Wing National Conven-
ton, with full knowledge of the position he
thus occupied If this movement had proceed
ed from seeding Wings, who had abandoned
Mr.. Fillmore, and refused to support him, it
would have presented very different question.
But we must do the Southern Wings the JUS
tice to say, that, so far as we are informed
they have, throughout, acted with perfect good
faith toward Mr.. Fillmore; and their Wing
banners are all, without a single exception, In
scribed with the names of 80 Taylor and Fill
more" Let not the Wings ofNew York then,
set the example of bad faith, which they have
been so eager to condemn, in the mere antici-
patton of that disafection which now proves
never to have existed among the Southern
Wings. South Carolina boasts of never hay-
ing given anything but Democratic vote, in
thirty years. We have always conceded the
vote Of that State to Cass and Butler. Shall
we put ourselves in passion if Taylor shall
help US to split ticket in that State? On
the contrary, ought we not to rejoice at it land
be glad to compromise for such vote?
"Your Committee deem it the imperative du-
ty of all Northern Wings, and particularly of
the Wings Of New York, who have been favor
ed with the nomination of a candidate from
their own State for Vice President, to support
in good faith the nominees of the Philadel-
phia Convention. We are now to choose be-
tween Taylor and Fillmore on the one hand,
and Cas- and Butler on the other. We all
had our preferences, and our favorite candi-
dates, for the nominations. We have many of
US been grievously disappointed in the result.
But Taylor and Fillmore are now the only
candidates of the Wing party, and we surely
ought not to hesitate to give that ticket our u
nited support. So long as the Wings of the
South are true to US, let US, without faltering,
be true to them.
'Your committee have, upon full censidera-
ton, unanimously agreed to submit and recon-
mend to this meeting the following resolution ::
'ResoLced, That the farther consideration of
this subject be referred to the Wing State
Convention, and that we win cordially sup
port the Electoral Ticket which that Convon-
ton shall nominate.

@- Our thanks are due, and are hereby
cordially given. TO Charles C. Lathrop Esq,
ofNew Orleans, in behalf OF the many Wings
in this County and State, who have had the
pleasure Of isening 10 his lorcibe and per-
tinen remarks, upon several occasions, on
the Presidential question. Mr.. Laihrop as
serts decidedly, from personal acquaD lance
with Gen. Taylo. and his intimate friends,
that he is in fact opposed to the further extern
sion of Slavery-tha, he regards it as an E.
vii, and AT present, where it exists, TO some
extent necessary evil, but has no desire TO
see ii spread or perpetuate d-that this feel
ing prevails much more generally at the
South than we at the North have any idea Of
that Gen. Taylor is in favor Of Protect

date Of the Wings, is man Of enlarged ma
tionaI, and not simply sectional or IocaI, feel
ings-that bot little portion Of his life has
been spent in louisiana and considerable
part of it in the free Territory of the North
west, where he observed and admired the
operation offree instilutions-thaI Gen. Tay-
lor is an honest, upright, well-infOrmed,
straight forward, and open-hearted man
and that he is known among all his friends
To- firm, unwavering attachment and ad-
herence 10 Wing principles.-We may be
permitted TO say that, having conversed much
and intimately With Mr.. Laihrop, who has
been spending several weeks in this place.
and who has but recently sci out on his re-
turn TO New Orleans, we have the fullest con-
fidence in his statements, as being those ola
gentleman above the imputation Of any un-
fairness, growing out OF parIizan zeal, and Of
one who understands we'll the grounds on
which his assertions are made, and carefully
weighs his words.
The representations of Mr.. Lathrop have
been confirmed TO Us by many private ASST
RANGES fIom other and unquestionable sour
ces, and we have no hesitation in saying 10
all whom these words may reach, that they
may absolutely rely uponii, that the ''individ
ual opinions OF Gen. Taylor are, in all essen
tial respects, as stated above. We would
not stake our reputation in this matter care
lessly. or without assurances that were TO us
entirely satisfactory. We desire our read
ers TO recollect the assurance we now give
them, that they may see, when the heat Of the
battle is past, and the smoke cleared away,
whether the event proves US to have been
right or wrong.
Our best wishes 90 with Mr.. Lathrop to
his Southern homeland we beg him, when

GENr:-The confidence expressed by you
in the leading article oil your paper yester-
day, in regard 10 Gen. Taylor, in reference
to The Free Soil question, is, can assure
you, well founded. A friend Of mine, in
whom | repose implicit confidence. had a
conversation with The General on this sub
ject, last May: and in a letter 10 me, dated
the lOih OF thai month, he reports that con-
versation in full. The ground taken by him
is, that the ordinance of 'S7 having been
passed by Congress. approved by Washing
ION, and upheld by the Judiciary, the consti-
tutionaliiy OF the measure has been settled
by all departments ofihe Government-and,
consequently, there is no ground left for the
nierposition Of the veto. He told my friend
that he lrould neither refo the Wllmot Pro-
riso, nor would he Intrigue against it, Or do
anything 10 embarrass its passage through
