The Soldiers Reply
TO THE WHIG APPEAL FOR HIS
VOTE!
By T. A~DURlvAGE.

By F. A~DURlvAGE.
Give you my vote! No! not to save
This shattered body from the grave.
Your perjured party disclam--
Treason in nature, whig in name.
To those who would my reasons know
IT'S ths--rye fought in Mexico.
While thro' our ranks swept grape and she'll,
And yielded none though hundreds fell
While each who sank in the advance
Was spitted by brigand s lance,
While we our country's colors bore
Triumphant through the battles roar,
You gave the murderous foeman aid,
You whetted each assassn's blade;
Yes, to the towards courage gave;
Heaped curses on your country's brave;
And now you change at once your note,
And ask a soldier for his yoTE!
Think you your voices could not reach,
To Vera Cruz's conquered beach,
Before the walls of Monterey?
Not so! in every conquered town
The language quoted as your own;
In every printed Aztec sheet,
Your speeches we were sure to meet.
vote your fraudfnltticket! No!
For ! have fought IN Mexico.
You say that Taylor leads you on;-
NV vote for Taylor must be thrown;-
He wears the soldiers laurel Leaf,
He is the soldiers honored Chief
IT'S true. His honors are his own
He won them by the sword alone.
But where the honor to command
Oftraitor wings ravenous band,
Who heaped dishonor on the cause
In which he won the worlds applause!
To bring him from his proud estate,
Elect him as your candidate,
But do not ask soldiers hand
To stamp him with the foul whg brand.
Against his fame strike no blow
fonght with him in Mexico.
Give me the men who true and bold
Their country and their flag uphold,
Whatever force our shsres assail, /.
Whatever cry fills the gale,
Stoop not to wrong from high or low,
An insult answer with blow,
Who makes our flag on shores and seas
The proudest flag that floats the breeze;
Give me the democratic creed,
Bold men in word and brave in deed.
No traitors, sycophants and knaves,
None who dishonor soldiers graves,
None who when evil days betide
Are even on the freemen's side,
Who gallant hearts heap insults on.
But cheer them when the victory's won.
TNay-s shrink not, friend--I mean no harr
Tn Mexico left an arm
Peace has been ratified, YOU know,
And Mexicans are all safe now.
Seek some deserter would you win
A vote to help your party in;
Or better still, for voters 60

Taylor and Washington Compared.

The wings have not yet given up com.
paTiDg Gen. Taylor with Gen. Washing
ton. So far do they carry their parallels
that they ascribe to Washington the same
detects which are known to characterize
Taylor. 1t was we'll said by an admirer
of the "father of bis country''-that it
was fortunate for those whig editors and
wing lorHturs shat Wsshingto had no
near living relation, to feel particularly
sensitive in regard to his honor and bis
fame. The following from letter, writ.
ten by the Hon. John c. Spencer, Sec.
rotary of War under Harrison, which we
find in the Illinois Journal, is a specimen
ofthose compliments to Washington:
81 do not mean to deny that Gen. lay.
lor, like General washington, and like
Swery other modest man, may have had
the aid Of a literary friend in looking
'oUer hts dispatches, written, as they must
have been, under great excitement and
sometimes in haste; and that friend mag
haze erased a redundant acord or phrase or
rounded q peri0d.-If this be evidence of
incapacity. who shall escape? Il is no
tOrious that the writings Of Washington
and particularly his taraceU address, I'm.
deracent the revision Of General Ham.
ItOn."
We do not object to the admission made
by Mr.. SPENCER, that Taylor "had the
aid Of literary friend in looking over his
despatches"-for the fact, we believe,
has never been doubted by any body. but
when Mr.. SpeHeer seeks TO make it ap
pear that Washington was so feeble in
capacity as to be unable to write his des.
patches, we thiuk that every American
has right TO put in his protest against
such base assaults upon the memory of
the greatets, the loitiest, and the bes: OF
men that even existed on earth. Let the
Wigs, if they please compare Taylor's
COED QUALITIES to those of Washington,
but for Gods sake let them forbear to
Rscribe to Washington the ignorance and
iRcapacity which are known to be pecu.
liar to Taylor.-State Register.

TaYiOf'S extra Paw,

Every wing paper in the Union has tenn
ed with abuse of Gen. Cass in regard to
his extra pay while governor of Michi-
gan. The public documents have been
garbled and falsi6ed, and every species
Of chicapery familiar to the practised
maids of wing orators and vhig editors,
has been brought in play to give color to
their lying charges, yet they have utterly
failed to prove anything dishonorable up
on Gen. Cass in this connection, or that
he received single dollar from the gov.
ernment for which he did not render an
equivalent. The whole amount of his
extra pay for twenty years does not ex.
coed $13, 900. for which the public rec.
ords show that he rendered valuable ser.
The public documents also show chat
Gen. Taytof has received, in the way OF
extra allowances. in addition to his pay,
since he has been in the public service,
up to last January, the moderate little
sum Of $74, 1854 O1! He is now drawing
his pay as major general in the army,
and Communication for thirty rGsions day,

look at this!

The wings herePretend to be believers
in the Wilmot proviso, and declare that
Gen. Taylor is in favor'of it, and should
he be elected President, would not veto
any law extending it over the new terri
tories. Leaving every thing else out of
the question, the fat of General Taylor
being himself slGre fhbld der, 'ahd thu. he
possesses anG'itnmghse wealth 'cohs istiHg
in slaves and land fit only TO be cultivated
By Slaves, would be proof enough to sat-
isfy any reasonable man of Gen. Taylor's
opposition to the Wilmot proviso. A poor
show of honesty and consistency our wing
friends present in supporting the Wilinot
proviso and Gen. Taylor at the same
time.
To prove concluSiDeIy that Gen. Tay.
lor will veto the Wilmot proviso, should
he ever have a chance, we insert the
following extract from a speech of Mr..
Benjamin, one Of the Taylor electors Of
Louisiana, which he made at Baton
Rouge,-at the very door of Taylor's
residence. m
IL can assure my fellow citizens here
that Taylor wiu promptly reto any thing
like the Wilmot proviso. The interests
of the south are safe in his hands,"
