1t is reported that Miller, Wing, has ocer
elected to Congress from Iowa.

We publish an extract from the Guernsey
(O.) JeifersOninn, of August lOth, showing the
grounds upon which Gen. Cass is supported at
the North. Let Southern voters read and pom
der:
Gen. Cass' against Me er,enston of Slarery.--
The wings having nominated a slave extern
s%ionist for the Presidency, are wont to makeit
appear that the Democrats are similarly sifuat-
ed, by charging that Gen. Cass is an avowed
slave cxtensionist. This charge is %unquali-
fedly false. Gen. Cass stands pledged to OPP
pose the extension Of slavery. In his Nichol-
son letter he expresses his views Of the %consti-
%tutionaI power of Congress over the institution
Of slavery. lie gives it as his deliberate opin-
ion that Congress has no power to institute
slavery where it does not exist. Suppose then
that Gen. Cass is elected to the Presidency,
and that Congress should pass an act to insri-
tute slavery In free territory, what does Gen.
Cass, in effect, stand pledged to do! Why TO
veto IL; because he has told the American
people that such an act would be unconstitu-
tiOnNl. 1t is then clear as the MONDAY sun that
Gen Cass stands Def re the country the avow-
ed opponent of slavery extension, and pledged
TO veto any act Of Congress having for its OBJ
Ject the inStituting of slavery in free terrific
ry,
We ask the honest and candid men of ali
parties-all who are opposed to the extension
oil slavery, no matter to what party they may
belong, to ponder well this matter. Romem-
Der that either Lewis COss or Zachary Taylor
will preside over the d%estinies of this republic
Tor the next Presidential term-and that there
tore your only hope for the prevention of
slavery extension exists in the election of the
former to the Presidency, Bear this in mind.

Ihave none OF my Congressional documents
here, tasy being at my former residence in
Buffalo, norhave / access to any papers or me-
moranda to refresh my recollectioni but think
at some time while in CongressI took occasion
to state in substance my views on the subject
of slavery in the States, Whether the re-
marks were reported or not l am unable to say,
but the substance was, that | regarded slavery
IS an evil, but one with which the national
government had nothing TO do. That by the
constitution of the United States, the whole
power over that question was vested in the
several States where the institution was toler-
ated. If they regarded ii as a blessing they had
a constitutional right to enjoy it, and if they
regarded it as an evil they had the power, and
knew best how to apply the remedy. did
not conceive that Congress had any power
over it, or was in any way responsible for is
continuance in the several States where it ex-
listed. have entertained no other sentiments
on this subject since l examined it sufficiently
to form an opinion, and l doubt not, that all my
acts, public and private, will be found in ac-
cordance with this view.
! have the honor to be, your ob't serv't.

Gov. Gayle, Of Alabama, furnished the fol-
lowing letter to the Mobile Register, in which
paper it appeared a few days ago. The Gov
says that while in Washington, he saw thai
Southern Democratic papers denounced Mr.
Fillmore as an abolitionist, and addressed hin
a letter on the subject, to which this is a reply
We commend il to the attention of Southern
voters, and assure them that no northern mar
has been less obnoxious, in public life, to the
South, than Mr.. Fillmore. He has never been
guilty OF an act or vote which, if fairly con.
strued, would lose him the support of any
southern man; and the unblushing faIsehoods
OF southern democratic papers with regard to
his votes in Congress, are only perpetratod
with the view of drawing public attention from
the indeiensible position Of Gen. Cass on the
slavery questlon:--T. Whig,
