Under this head, in the Journal Of July 10Th. an
article appears which is marked by rather than
the usual degree of scoundrelsm that predominaies
IN that concern. Such ali article could only come
from pickPOcket in politics,-from one who has
turned somcrsets more than once from one party TO
another-from one who in the hope Of spoils alone,
supports man whom it DISSATISFACTION one nfa-
nous enough to betray the OF its own party
with design to its injury.-ap assassin who SIAN
ders in daylight and siabs in the dark.
The writer, whose audacty is as amusing as it is
villanous. knows the desperate position of the wing
party, as well as It's 1t feels now it did in
April, that ga regard to wing principles forbade the
nomination of Taylor by the Wing National Conven-
ton" 1t has not even the poor consolation which
those who procured his nomination relied upon,-a
last hope of getting the "spos of victory,"-for it
well knows that the distrust it expressed of Taylors
principles will be remembered by those who will con-
troll the distribution of the spoils should majority
of the people surrender to the General and his
"bloOdhounds" 1t would fain place US in predica-
ment as pitIabe as lis own,-distrusied by Its own
party and desplsed by its opponents,-by more than
lnsinuating that "hostile TO Cass," while we
"look upon Van Buren, with love almost paramount
to party obligations" Perhaps The Journal writer
believes this, for it is natural reacherous dispo-
stion to suspect treason in others. But we should
despise ourselves much we scorn the mercenary
conductors of the Journal, could we even dream of
the treachery it imputes to US. Its mpuaton is as
false against it is against the democratic party
in this State. Our integrity 10 party has beeRtOo
well proved to be shaken by the ISLANDERS of the Jour

gust will manifest that of the democracy the full
satisfaction of the honest and brilliant conductors OF

strait, the Journal is, of trying prove own
integrity by falsely assang others. That is the
reason why We do not as~ail Taylor or Van Buren,
with lying abuse, ii assails Cass. 1t wonders why
we do refute It's lies fast they are told We
think the people have wit enough to fathom the OBJ
ject of the Journal and do not think it worth
while TO waste time in retuing ISLANDERS which
are false upon their face,-like that for instance.

OF The Pittsburgh Democrat says-General Tay-

the Government" but personally, he has no oblec-
tions" For proof of this refer to the fact that
he has recently purchased large tract of land in
Texas, and RENTED $4,000 to Washington for the
purpose of investing that in buying live stock,
in the shape of human beings" How many fami-
lies will be broken up-how many tears shed-how

OrThe Journal intimates, boldly as it dares,
that we disposed to be treacherous to Cass. 1t
would be gratifed 10 have US so, no doubt. But we
will venture say that the Journal will be as likely
to turn traitor again TO Taylor, and 10 run up the
name of Van Buren, as its first choice. should he be
nominated by the dsafected wings at Buffalo, as we
shall be to do So We should have doubt that the
Journal would come out in support of Van Buren, had
it the courage to do So and had it not already within
year shown itself false to Clay, Taylor and Mclean,
and after all suffered itself to be dashed back to the
support of Taylor by the negro whip of the slave
driver.

'6rThe N Y. Globe suggests that Judge Mclean
would make good candidate for Vice President on
the Van Buren, ticket. 1t is supposed by some that
the Buffalo convention to be held on the 9th proximo,
will nominate Democrat for President and Whip
for Vice President, and that while the convention
will commit itself against the extension of slavery in
the territories it will make no other issues than those
proposed at Utica at the time expressing
disposition not to any of the old issues which
have heretofore divided the two great parties.

Mr.. CLAY.-The wing editors are talking about
certain letters, said to have been written by Mr. Clay

any such letter. We have no doubt that Clay des-

phia Convention. He cannot feel otherwise and of
course it would trouble him to Taylor defeated
