TAYLOR VS.. VAN buren,.

During Mr.. Van Buren's administration Gen.
Taylor was in command in Florida. Among hs
cartves were number of blacks, who were
claimed as slaves, and the General was called
upon to giye them up to their pretended owners.
lie refused. The applicants complained at
Washington, and Mr.. Van Buren's Secretary of
War at once wrote to Taylor, ordering hun 10
gire up The bldoks 10 s,arery. What think ye was
tie answer of Zachary Taylor? For the sake
of the freedom of a few poor negroes captured
from the Seminole Indians, would he dare to
disobey Mr.. Van Burcns War Secretary That
is exactly what the old fellow did do. Heknew
too much of Slavery to consign even the hum
blest man to it by Executive command. Here
is Taylors language on that occusion
I" | cannot for n moment consent to meddle in
this transaction, or TO be concerned for the ben
eft of Mr.. Collins, the Creek Indians, or any one
else; or to interfere in any way between the In
dams and their negroes, which may have ten
dency to deprive the former of their property,
ana reduce the latter from "A comparative state of
freedom 10 that of slavery"

ELECTIONS.

KENTUCKY. Wing, even stronger than usual.
Cri,tendcn's majority will be greater than tho
Wing majority of 1914. MIR. Clay travelled 80
miles for the purpose Of voting at home. OF
course he voted Tor Crittenden, and it is said
that his example added 200 votes to the Wing
strength.
NoRTu CARoLISA. The last despatch is that
the Wings have carried the Governor by "the
skin of their teeth" The locos claim lie in the
Legislature. The Wings claim majority.
INDIANA. Election for Legislature only re-
ported TO be loco, decidedly.
ILLINOIS. Three Wings reported to be cleo
ted to Congress gain of two members. In
deed, fourth is claimed, vice Wentworth, by
Jour majority but we guess it won't do to crow
on that.
Missouri AND Iowa. But few reports, and
these quite as favorable as could be expected.
Now a word on these elections. The Cass
inen have gained in North Carolina by represent
ting Taylor TO be opposed to Slavery and Cass
for Slavery. In Indiana, the Cass men have sue
ceedcd, even on the broad pro slavery ground a
vowed by Cass and flanagan. The Barnburn
ers have evidently funked. Thus is the clover
foot of Slavery plainly revealed-Savery a
work for Cass and against Taylor. Let the
North remember il.

TAYLOR AND SLAVERY.

The Cass and coalition papers are terribly
troubled about old lacks notions concerning
Slavery. "Ue is a slave holder" So he is ; so
was Washington so is Henry Clay and we are
sorry for it. But still, there IS one thing that
Taylor is mol he is mol pledged to be The slave
of slavocrats, as is Lewis Cass and he is not
pledged to veto abolition i'll the District, as is
Martin Van Buren,. But-says the Patriot and
suudry of the coalition papers-Gen. Taylor
won't give up his slaves, he'll stick to them, as
a South Carolina paper says; he's on the side Of
the South, says another Southern newspaper;
and he's against tha Wilmot proviso, says a To-
cofoco Committee in Mississippi. Now old
lack has ShoH way OF putting down all such
stories, ju as he had with the Mexicans and In
dams. True or false-an we have no doubt
that there is much falsehood in these irrespon.
sible statements; we say, true or false, these
stories make no sort of difference with Gen.
Toyor's positon-for, as President, he IS mol 10
tcAow his individual opinions Witness this od-
mirable sentiment of the Allison letter:
"The personal opinions of the individual, who
may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought
mol to control the action of Congress upon ques-
tons of domestic policy; nor ought his objec-
tons 10 be interposcd where questions of con-
stitutional power have been settled by the vari-
Gus departments of government, and acquiesced
in by the people"
We have strong Evidence that Gen. Taylor's
personal opinions ure all against the extension
of slavery, and in his course as to the slaves in
the Florida war, we have complete evidence that
his sympathies are all for freedom but granting
that it is not so, his position as President is I'M
changed as President he is mol to insist upon
his personal opinions. lie is not to be tyrOnt
setting up his own will as omnipotent; he is not
to be King Veto, like him of Michigan, or him
of Undertook; he is 10 be the constitutional
Execution of the will of the people, expressed
according to the forms of the Constitution. Thus
stands Gen. Taylor, and we do not therefore deem
it at all necessary to rebut every bit of scandal
which may be retailed about his personal opn
ions

PRINCIPLES AT ISSUE.

Wings, in the discussion of the Presidency,
let us not forget that our principles are all ut
stake, and in September quite os much us at the
Presidential election in November. If General
Taylor is elected, that great fact is not to settle
the principles and measures for which we con.
tend All we ask or expect Of him is, TO be
Constitutional and Republican President TO
"hold his hand" from Executive usurpations - to
leave Congress Independent OF Executive power
and patronage-to yield his individual opinions
and official assent, on all questions of domestic
policy, to the will Of the people as expressed by
their Representatives. The people, then, are 10
look mainly to their own representatives, in the
House and Senate for the measures they wish
adopted and the real contest is in the State e.
lection. Congress must be made right. To
make the House right, we must elect sound and
reliable Wings to represent us there; and 10
make the U. s. Senate right, we must elect sound
and reliable Wings TO both branches of our
Importance, for the next Legislature is 10 elect a
member of the U. S. Senate We say, then, 10
all the Wings remember your principles al he
September election. Let no differences on the
Presidential question divide you. Remember
that if Taylor is the mn, we arc to have nc
Presidents party-no Taylor members of Con
gross an Independent Congress is the fundamen

no ground, then, for disagreement in September
Again: bear with US while we advise you to be

Old lack flooring SlandererS.

MoRE BASE SLANDEss REFUTED.-A story
has lately been fabricated by some base and dis
honorable enemy OF General Taylor, that he
was an owner of large tract Of land in The dis
puted territory, between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande, and that he had recently sent an agent
TO Washington to purchase negroes to stock it.
This shameful fabrication, the falsehood OF which
was apparent on lis very face, has been greedily
caught up and circulated by those whose conve-
nent consciences will permit them to Islander,
though they will not to support, General Taylor.
From the fact HERE has been no authorized con-
tradlctlon OF these stories, many hnnest.minded
people have, no doubt, been deluded into a be-
lief of their truth. Ii gives us pleasure, there
fore, TO learn from the Cincinnati Guzetto of
Thursday morning last, that Col. Mitchell, of
that city, wrote 10 Gen. Taylor several weeks
since, referring to the allegation, and inquir-
ing as to lis truth. We annex the reply. 1t
puts this vile SANDER at rest, as an unmligated
talsehood. Read and judge:-

My DEAR CoLoNEL:-Your kind letter OF the
18th ult has been duly received. In reply to
your inquiries, have to inform you that have
no land ON the Rio Grande nor have sent
$4,000 or any other sum to the District of Co.
umbia TO purchase slaves; and trust that If |
had such a sum in my possession, | could put it
to better use than buying lands on the RIO
Grande, or slaves in Washington. Among the
many accusations brought against me by my OPP
ponents, should be much gratifed to learn that
they had succeeded in substantialing the charge
that have in my possession so large sum tor

by those opposed to me, II they are ground

in the ocofoco party: the people learn who the
rogues are. The IIunkcrs show up the Van Blu

CHOOSE We,

The nominations at last are all made Hale
gives way to his old master Van Buren,, and so
the good people are TO choose between Zachary
Taylor Lewis Cass and Martin Van Buren,
two old practised hands in political intrigues
against one honest man. Which has your SYM
pathies In LEWIS CAss we have the President
of The leaders of the locoioco party; man
bound by pledge to be the mere tool OF the Bal
timore Conventional slave of Shareholders,
pledged to serve the slavocracy by fresh cru,
sadcs for the conquest of new territory and by
the Veto to crush every attempt to limit slavery.
In MARTIN VAN buren, we have man of like
principles in all respects save one; even be is
hampercd by veto pledge in defence of slavery
wherever it now exists; and his whole political
life is itself a pledge that he will serve himself
rather than his country. The people have known
him as the prince of dough faces--lhe very orig
inator of the compact with the South TO obtain
control of the government by succumbing to the
interests of slavery the servile Vice President
on the incendiary bill, and the servile President
on the Slavery question in the district and on
the Armisted case-and the endorser of Polk
md Dallas and the Mexican war In every
trial they have found him a slippery politician
atime-server-the little magician, fruitful in ex &.
pcdients to further his own ambitious purposes
and in 1910 they uttered against him an over
whelnng verdict of condemnation, such as nc
President ever before received.
In ZACHARY TAYLOR we have new man, un.
accustomed to the arts oc practsed politicians
untainted by the corrupt practices of intriguing
parlzans. He comes before us recommended as
patriotic, modest, prudent, honest, incorrupt
BILE man as one who loves his whole country
and reverences the constitution and as one
whom neither the lust of power nor the inhuenc,
of party spirit-nether personal nor sectiona
interests-neither brides nor threats = cilhe
fear nor favor, can swerve one jot or title from
the straight line of duty as an old fashioned re
publican President.
We have chosen, weeks since, in anticipatio,
that the choice must be made from these thrc
men. The result of the Buffalo Convention ha
verified our anticipations; and now VIC say t
all Wings who have waited for that result, choos
ye, and grid yourselves for the battle.

o. A remarkable illustration Of the changes
which time brings, about, is afforded by the fol-

the honor Of stakeholder; but serve dough-
face is too destitute of that article to obtain
credit with me. Mr. Van Buren, has placed the
evidence of his servilty conspicuously upon the

and will be regarded as an enduring memento
of the degoneracy of the age, and OF the men
who filed our public stations"

THE 4TH DISTRICT.

he 4 L IL DlS 1.
1t will be seen that we have placed the name
of Mr.. Peck in our columns a candidate for
Congress. This is done by the authority of the
District Committee, who have delayed calling a
convention in the hope that congress would have
adjourned in season for Mr.. Peck to be in at
tendance. This, however, is now impossible,
and as a call for convention could hardly have
time for sufficient circulation, il is deemed best
10 let convention pass, as unnecessary, the de-
mocracy of this district being, as there can be
no doubt, unanimously in favor of Mr.. Pecks
reelection. Indeed so fully has he filled the
expectation of his friends and so worthy has
he represented the district, that it is conc, edcd
no serious opposition can be brought 10 bear a.
guinst him.
If any Of the democracy are at all curious 10
know ,Uhy Charles X. Field refuses to run; and
icho or ,chat John S. Robinson is, Barnburnel
or bunker, Van Buren, man or Cess man; and
what is the present position of Lecius b. Peck
Barnburner or Hunker, Wilmot Provso man OF
for King Veto; then these same democrats are
practically told that they are too nqusitive =
all this is none of their business. In the Ian
guage of the special edict of C. G. Eastman
/" the democratic papers in this state will place
the name of Mr.. Robinson upon their ticket al
their earliest issue, and the party generally will
cast their votes' for these men.
| Now let us take look at modern locofoco de
mocracy, as exemplifed practically. To begin
a National Convention gagged, by two thirds
rule SO as to be controlled by minority, make:
the President The next step is for this same
irresponsible caucus elected by nobody in five
cases out of six, and responsible 10 nobody,
TO mark out the whole policy of the government
and in order utterly TO prevent The people frou
thwartng their views, they bind their President
to Veto every act of the peoples representatives,
which is contrary to their programme. And nov
the last step in progressive democracy is this o
dispensing even with the omnipotcnt conven
tons, and reposing all authority in State o
district committee, or quite likely in the hand
of single member of these committees. o
course there is but one step more in progressive
democracy, and that is, TO relieve the people en-
tirely of all voice in the government We sub
nit 10 Maj Eastman whether it would not be
saving of time and trouble to declare at one
that the party generally will" mind their owl
business, and let him appoint their officers 70
