IRISH VOTERS !-four enemies tue wings OF the Un

struggle of your friends in Ireland the leading wing
in New York and Philadelphia openly took the side
OF the opposers of your kindred The great democratic
party of the United States has always been your friend,
and you have done much in days gone by TO give that
party the ascendency. Let your efforts slack in this

Uy thousand Hitnen for like number Of the free negroes

MEN
The Baltimore American in telling us what General
Cass would do in of his election does exactly
specify what General Taylor would d. or rather what
his party will do in Congress- with the aid Of his
,ares and allies The American says that General Cass
"would be shut out from any useful action in refer
ence 10 domestic interests, that the tariff is already
fixed the subreasury established, and all appropriations
for internal improvements precuded" But does not the
Baltimore American what would be the reverse of
this picture' Elect General Taylor, and the whole
kaleidoscope would be changed. The effort would
at be made TO restore the tariff of lsl2-to abol-
ish the constitutional treasury, and restore that
ster, the bank of the United States The friends
of the constitution would in vain expect anything from
the President. He has opinions which are either
necessary important TO be known. He has declared
that he will not attempt to control the action of Con-
gress--he will sacrifice the veto power at the
shrine of his party He will sign any bill which Congress
may send him. on all these subjects. The Executive
would be cipher in the government unless those
who are "behnd the throne should prove stronger than
the throne itself"
Does the Baltimore American really expect any relief
the South from the enactment of the Wilmot Provso
1t is idle TO deceive intelligent people by such msera
BILE fummery. Has not General Taylor said that he will
no bill which has been well considered, and which
affects domestic policy? And will not this be
one of them. Has not MIR. Bates, of Massachusetts
received letter TO this efectthat he evil veto the
Wilmot Provso" And what have we seen only yester
day morning? 1--WE quote from the Hartford Times of
Thursday:)
''Severai months since, committee of the legislature
Mississippi composed of de and ,chg called upon
Zachary Taylor inquire what his opinions upon
certain questions That committee made its report TO the
legislature of Mississippi Among other things they
ported that Gen. Taylor informed them that the South
ought TO agree the ot Propiso. This official
port published in the newspapers of the South-it
out in official form, in Mississippi, Louisiana,
South Carolina, &c. &C., and scattered about the
dosr-steps OF Zachary Taylor like leaves. He did
deny it, though the assertion thrust under his
a dozen times day. 1T WAS THE PRINCIPAL
THING WHICH THE WINGS OF THE SOUTH
USED IN ELECTIONEERlNG FOR HIM. Hon. Joshua
r. Gddings, of Ohio, whose word has been i'm
peached says he has the original report of that
mtee, who say that he did oppose the Provso!"
The Hartford Times asks, if these words were not
true, "wby did not Gen. Taylor deny them at home,
where they have been generally used promote his
election? At The South, these very words relied upon
to get support for Taylor But at the North they have diff
ferent influence and to counterac that influence, Tru
Smith, who is ranking documents to prove Taylors
slavery principles to the South, and others prove his
anti slavery principles TO the North, sends him paper
containing the words, and asks him if he uttered
them The Courant says Mr.. Smith received the fol-
lowing denial from Gen Taylor

BATON ROUGE, La, April n, lSiS
My DEAR SIR received your letter, and copies of the
publications made in the Union, duly the hands of Maj
Bliss.
Those articles, avowing certain sentiments admitted
by myself, and all vile fabrcations and frauds

"Why did Gen. Taylor desire to consider denial of
that which untrue, pruate7 He knew the denial
would njure him at the South and he willing to let
untruh be circulated in that quarter for his ben
eft Does this look like the conduct of honest man
He don't deny the statement at the South but does deny
it, so that the denial may be used at the North alone
1.-THE Courant, in publishing the denial, says
in the Union having recently been revived the North
Mr. Smith has Obtained Gen Taylors give ii
the public"
"This circumstance is worthy of consideration. Gen
Taylor lends his aid to Truman Smiths double dealing
by conserving have his denial published at the North
days before the election so that it could not have time
to get back to the South "
We are free TO say, for our part that after the
Generals positive declarations of all intention to waive
his constitutional power. expect nothing from his
veto on the Wimot Provso The South will be the
dupe if they make any such calculations Those who
have betrayed her will have for it, they will
