MIR. Coryvin's New Argument for Taylor.


Mr. Corwin, after his first reported failure, which
noticed, has tried again Here the opening argument
Of his speech at New Carthage, find in yesterday
mornings ntelgencer. He is speaking of the manner
IN which the canvass is conducted:
In passing through the United States, General Taylor
would be respected by party, while he would be held
up by the other rude unlearned uncouth, throat
soldier. and nothing else. What the other gentlemen
must be There the hiatus filed up by of those pc

1t is to be hoped that Mr. Corwn's audience found his
grimaoes very convincing.
Passing to more serious matters Mr. Corwin gives the
following statement to Gen. Taylors sincerity and his
fair dealing between the two sections OF the country
have heard, instance that it has been reported in
Hamilton county that upon a certain OCCASION in speak
ing OF General Taylos peculiar position in regard 10 the
slavery question, had said she ,cond necessarily de-
ceive somebody" IA laughl No doubt it struck the
gentleman who made report while l endeavoring
to show audience OF northern brethren that Gen
Taylor occupied such position relation to the ueto ower
that he could not consistently with has publicly knaon opin

slavery in these territories OF asked the
question, i'll did believe that gentlemen who sup

Taken in connexon with the we'll authenticated report
OF MIR Corwns having secret pledges in his possession
from General Taylor, in reference to the rights of the
South in the territories, these public declarations
that if the South trusts him, she aD be deceped,
without significance. They go to show that the wing
wrepullers in nominating General Taylor, have acted
towards the South in the spirit in which the wings
OF Massachusetts, according 10 Mr. Choate's statement
nave resolved upon the question OF slaverysimply to
rote the southern aChigs doscn!
The following extract shows how Mr. Corwin, who
II General Taylor elected is said to have good chance
OF figuring in his cabinet, stands in relation to the South
and the abolition party under its nickname of "ee
soil" Speaking Of Mr.. Van Buren,, he says:
