THE MaDEI. WHIG.

The Boston Post furnishes the best sketch Of a
!" Model Whig'' that we have seen for some time,
The Post says: IA s-x
THE Model Whig don't understand exactly about
Clay and Websters not supporting Taylor but thinks
II must De from Mr. Ciay,s having grown imbecile,
and from Websters having eaten bad clam at Marsh
field that affected his politics. He believes the coun-
try is In most shocking state, bankrupt ruined at
the same time he refuses to sell government paper he
may hold for premium. He believes all the trou-
Bile in the country for the last forty years owing
to Gen. Jacksons removal of the depostes and the
passage of the Sub Treasury law. He carries about
whole hats full of Wing speeches and documents for
constant references and viii endorse them ALL wheth-
er statistics OF poemics, true, every word. He is
sure to proclaim Democratic friend who may be
with him as "locofoco,'' loud enough for all to
hear; and Is always ready to get the 6 locofoco'
into an argument with some stranger setting down his
declining to do as proof of backing out, - and
giving horse-laugh at the imagined triumph.
When discussing politics, the balance of the talk
is with him; and if anything should be edged in to
shake his position, he has neverailing to fall
back on-ss that's id locofoco lie, which at once
restores him to his strength, and his opponent is dis
comtted, OF course. He is great in provision
In the morning. where he excels in throwing inunen-
does at suspected locos, strangers, whose manner of
replying he construes into tribute his keenness.
He reads all the Whig club notices, and tell you
every Whig meeting that will be held round town for
months to come. He will go mile out of his way
to avoid passing under Cass and Butler flag. He
believes in the potency of caricatures political
guments, and makes it duty to look at the shop
windows every morning for new ones, to laugh
for the ftieth time at the old. He never wishes for
office, he never does; though should grateful
try call him to any station he is always ready to obey
from pure patriotism He is strong admrer of Tay-
or images and pictures, and detect great
blance In them severaly, to Washington, Napoleon,
and St. Paul. and bores his friends for their opinion.

.MEssRs. BusREE AND MILI.ER.

= 49,
On Monday last we had the pleasure of hearinp
these gentlemen address the people, The Court
1ouse was well filed, and we never witnessed a
more attentive audience. Mr.. Busbee, the Demo-
cratic Elector, spoke two hours and Mr. Miller, the
Whig Elector, spoke in reply the same length of
time.
Mr. Busbee acquitted himself remarkably well. In
rapid but powerful manner, he condensed into two
hours Speech, all the strong facts and arguments
against Taylor and Fillmore sand not only this, but
he anticipated much of what Mr.. Miller said about
Zen. Cass and in relation to Democratic poliev
and measures. In all sincerity, we do not think Mr.
Miller gave single answer to Mr.. Busbee's facts
and allegations, which ought have been considered
satisfactory. He labored, with much more ability
and much more earnestness than we have seen exhb-
tied by any Taylor speaker during the campaigns but
the truth is the he had in hand could not be
sustained. The burden and drift of his whole effort
seemed to be, to prOUe that Gen. Cass as objection
able to Southern voters llard Fillmore. That was
the main point of his Speech, and in next, when
we have more time and space, shall pay our re-
spects to it. .-s' --',,. lee
The Democrats of the District have reason to be
proud of the gallant and able manner in which Mr.
Busbee discharges the duty which has been devolv-
ed upon him. The discussion Monday last, we
are grated to state, characterized by courtesy
and good feeling, have doubt all subsequent
meetings will be between these gentlemen.

BIG SHOTS FROM A BIG GUN.

No man hits Federalism harder than Hon. B. F.
Hallett, and no man more clearly and satisfactorily
shows up their gross inconsistencies their contempt
ible tergversatons and their utter recklessness of
principle. The following hard hits are from his
speech at Syracuse, N. Y, and are but sample of
the way in which he ''puts the licks into them " in
all his speeches:
6 In short, the only rule upon which honest
Whg support Gen. Taylor, is the rule of contra
diction. They must construe their candidate as we
are told to interpret bad dreams, by opposites.
They claim to be Wings, and they support Gen.
Taylor because he is not ultra Whig, that is not
enough of Wing to hurt him. So the less Whig-
gerry he has, the better he is for the Wings.
They are opposed to land indemnity from Mexico
and go for Taylor because he in favor of taking
of her provinces up the line of the Sierra
Madre. (See his letter to General Ganes.)
They denounce the Mexican war as a God abhor-
red war; and all engaged in it partakers in the
crme and they support Taylor because he has killed
and captured more Mexicans than any other of the
" criminals engaged in that war.
They are the friends of peace and afraid of
another if Gen. Cass is elected, who has been
friend of peace for thirty odd years. and therefore
they 60 for Gen. Taylor because he has been like
Goliah of Gath, '' a man of war from his YOUTH
They insist upon having Southern candidate to
humble the North, and are opposed to g Northern
man with Southern principles - and therefore they
take Southern man with no principles at all.
They firmly believe that the salvation of the coun-
try depends upon the Whig party, and therefore they
want a President who is a no-party man, who will
have opinion of his own, but will be Wing if
Congress is Whig; Democratic if Congress is Dem
ocratc abolionist if Congress is for abolition Ma
tive American if Congress is Native American and
neither one thing the other, if the Senate and
House of Representatives happen to be divided.
In short, sort of chameleon President, who is to
take the hue and the color of the Congress he hap
pens to light upon.

THE CRACK OF THE OLD RIFLE.

The Hon. James Buchanan, in reply to letter
urging him to become Candidate for the Office Of
Governor of Pennsylvania, noby and eloquently
says:
"There has scarcely been presidential election
since the origin of the government, of greater impor
tance than that which is approaching. We should
therefore strain every in sustaining the princ
pies and the candidates of that glorious party whose
continued ascendancy is identified, l firmly be-
lieve, only with the prosperity but the
of the Union. Dark and portentous clouds, from an
unexpected quarter, now obscure political hoS-
zon. In the hour of danger, only security is to
follow, with firm and unfaltering step, our time
honored flag. This will guide us, as it has often
done before into the haven of safety. twill enable
us triumphantly to elect Cass and Butler and what
ever other name the democratic convention at Harris
burg may prescribe upon our banner as the candidate
for governor"
