THE. TAYLOR PLATFORM.

The Hon. CHARLES HUDSON, OF Massachusetts,,
addressed short speech to the recent Wing State
Convention Of that State, and in the course of it,
told the following anecdote, illustrative of the plat
form upon which Gen. TAYLOR stood and ought to
stand:
Genllemen have heard in the of this Conven
ton, and have heard in various places before the Con-
venon assembled great deal said about the platforms that
the different parties have put before the country We have
heard of the Baltimore platform and OF the Buffalo platform,
and has been made charge to the Wing party that they
have nominated candidate and put forth platform. Now,

THE 4soBER SECOND THOUGHT"

FROM THE ALBANY EVENING JOURNAL OF MONDAY.
The FRIENDS OF Mr.. CLAY-Had the recent
demonstrations in favor of Mr. CLAY, as all irregu.
lar Wing candidate for President, received the sane
ton of that eminent Wing statesman, there were
thousands Of friends in this State who would have
given him jealous support. But he has peremp-
torily declined, and, since those demonstrations,
Gen. TAYLOR, by second letter to Capt ALLISON,
followed by the publication of the letter written to
the Baltimore Independent Taylor Party, last June,
has commended himself, by the correction of mis-
apprehensions, to the confidence of the Wings who
had hesitated in giving him their support. Several
influential and devoted Wing friends of Mr.. CLAY,
it will be seen by the subjoined communication,
have avowed their determination to go heartily for
Gen. TAYLOR. Others will act in the same spirit.
The Wings of Albany will therefore now, as here
tofore, be found united at the ballot boxes.

GENERAL TAYLOR, TEN YEARS AGO.
FROM THE RUTLAND HERALD.


We were few days since carelessy looking
over an old file of somewhat noted literary pa
per-the New Y ork Mrror-when we accidental
ly stumbled upon an article which we think may
prove OF interest to many at this time. This is a
letter from correspondent of the Mirror, written
in 1888, at the close Of the Florida war, giving the
talk of Gen. then COLI TAYLOR, while in council
with the celebrated Chief ALLIGATOR, and which
shows plainly the existence then Of one Of the
marked traits of Gen. TAYLoR's character. No
better evidence Of the nobleness and natural kind
ness of Gen. TAYLOR can be given than what is
here shown. The following is Col. TAYLoR's talk !:
"Red Brothers am glad to meet you here because the
Great Spirit is pleased with those who make peace Your
great father the President Of the United States will also he
pleased Although soldier, do not wish to shed the blood
Of my red brothers and had rather save the life Of one
child than kill hundred Of your warriors There are
blind those who will see none so deaf
those who will not hear Your cars are open your chiefs
know what want and they know have never deceived
them Whatever have promised has been performed. If
any Of your people come to my camp with white flag they
will be safe though they thousand miles distant
from me- You know what have said If you like my talk
friends not, go back to your camp and the
will continue"
Alligator sand, in reply:
"Father! Your talk is true what YOU saw il good
understand you, and you shall understand me- speak with
straight tongue my heart is clean, nv hands are white
and you must believe what say My people have suffered
great DEAL This has been the longest war ever knew or
heard Of but my people have desired peace long time If
your messengers had carried good words this thing would
have been closed long ago We will do as our great father
wishes The Ratchet s bured-no under the pine tree in
the sand for the wind will blow down the tree and uncover
again not in the ocean, for the waves will wash Il on
shore but have dgged deep hole in hard ground and
have put big stone on the Ratchet that il will
again he seen May the Great Spirit keep il safe have
done !"
In the conclusion Of the letter referred 10 the
writer says:
sApiaka or Samuel Jones the fisherman. and his Mc,su
kcs are the only Indians concealed In the thcke Col
TArIoR has done more toward this consummaon during
the short time he has been in the country than all the other
commanders since the war began"

THE coMpRoyI BILL.

The result Of the whole matter is, that the bill excluded
slavery from the Territories, far the legislative power
could effect it. Whether Congress possessed the power do
so, was question left where the Constitution had placed it,

 It will not be expected of us, in cases of so delicate nature, to exhibit certificates of cures performed but we can assure the afflicted that hundreds of cases have been reported to us. Several cases where families have been without children, after using few bottles of this in- valuable medicine, have been blest with healthy offspring.
 This Extract, of Sarsaparilla has been ex prressiy prepared in reference to female com plaints. No female who has reason to suppose 'hal she is approaching that critical petiod, the turn of life, should neglect to take it, as it !s a certain preventive for any of the numerous an horrible diseases to which females are sub. e:ct at this time of life. This period may be delayed for several years by using this med. cine. Nor is it less valuable for those who are approaching womanhood, as it is calculated to assist nature by quckening the blood and in. Nigorating the system. Indeed, this medicine is I'valuable for all of the delicate diseases to which women are subject
