How rapidly the real force and truth
ofthe open and frank remark Of Mr.. Web.
ster, that the nomination of Gen. Taylor
''.cas not fit to be made. has found its
way into the ranks of q great portion Of
the wing party! Though alconfeSsion they
at first disliked, and one that has drawn
its author under SOME condemnation, it
was, nevertheless. so honestly made tina,
those who complaiu of its severity are
compelled to admit its Applicability. s
More recently, the whigs have been
turning their eager eyes towards Henry
Clay, in the hope of having some sort o.
endorsement of Old lack from under his
hend; but they have waited in vain. Or
this point, the old POLITICAL captain is .

Observation-Disclosures

These are expressive terms-the free
mans watchwords5 and ROW is the time
for their full employment. We must re.
member, friends, that ''power is always
stealing from the many to the few" Yes,
stealing; and by stealth and trickery the
ranks of the best organized party may be
successfully invaded. The opposition
are aware Of their own weakness; and
hence their ten thousand appliances to
deceive and betray, to 'divide and con-
quer." Seeing this upon every side, can
any member Of our party now remain
lukewarm and with folded arms! Where
do we stand? Our platform has been well
laid down. Our cause is that oftruth and
justice. We have the requisite force to
perpetuate our principles, and to give en-.
tire success to, our strong and popular
ticket; and will we, can we SO fritter
away our strength as to leave q passive
contingency for the defeat Of Cass and
Butler?' Do we not need tried and ex.
perienced, an able and accomplished
statesman at the helm?-one whose abili-
ties as civilian, and bravery as a sol
der, have been well and thoroughly tried
in the stormiest conflicts of the past?-
one who largely shares in the affection
and confidence of a nation whose mighty
career of prosperity and success is now
attracting the eye of the civilized world?
What Incentive do we need to warm up
! our resolution, to incite US with the re.
iisite zeal and ardof for the conflict be.
fore US? Are we so Organized, so united
SO active and vigilaht, as TO hold out the
promise of that certain victory which ever
awaits the efforts Of the faithful? Look
around you, friends, and see if anything
is yet wanting in your midst to ward off
the accumulating falsehoods and frauds
with which you are now beset upon eve.

must do, the positive certainty ola glori-

We have frequently alluded TO the sys.
TEN Of double.dealing which. is praised
by the wing party, through. its press and
orators, north and south, upon the sub.
ject Of the Wilmot Proviso. We have
shown by voluminous extracts from SOUTH
ern wing papers, and from the speeches
of southern wing orators, that the whig
party in the southern states are advocat-
ing the claims of Taylor mainly on the
ground that els southern man id santi-
ment and in feeling, and that he is utterly
OPPOSED to the doctrine Of the Wilmot
proviso, while their northern allies take
the Numerically opposite position. The
Illinois Journal and its coadjutors of the
north not only urge against Gen. Csss
that he is opposed to the Wilmot proviso
(Which is true but they actually seek, by
garbling his =, Nicholson letter. to show
that he is in favor ofertendingslavery into

ed from Mexico. With the Illinois Jour.

heretofore shown that the letter bears no

While the Journal and its compeers

principles of the Wilmot proviso, and that
the doctrine laid down i'd that letter erp.

Cass, whose means they set down at a

TO be worth only the modest sum of$6O,- !

former owns property to thev value of two
hundred or two hundred and fifty thou.
sand dollars. Taylor, on the contrary,
is worth far more. On one plantation he

he surely owns at least 400 slaves, worth,

His negro property is therefore to be val.

in the South 10 value the land, horses,
hogs, tools, buildings and other parapher.
MALTA of well stocked plantation, at the
worth OF ''the stock of negroes" upon it.
This brings the Generals plantation
wealth up to 100000. In addition to
all this, which he has received for the
most part from the national treasury in
one way or other, he derives life ia :
come of about $4,000 per annum from

his age and with his habits and health,
may be considered as adding $50, 900 to

We have been careful not to over esti-

we refer to the declaration recently made
in speech by his bottle holder, Bale

invested 100000 in slaves. This Pey-
