us look at this matter fairly and treat il il as n
practical thing. The free North has large bal
ance of power in the House we are in the ma
jority there: Let us take Gen Taylor at his
word-let the signal be passed from Maine to
Iowa, from the Northern lakes to the lowest
limit Of free soil, that no man of any party, ia
vorabe to the establishment by federal power,
or to the existence by federal consent, of Slave
ny in territory now free, shall be elected to the
next Congress. As the South may be a unit on
this question so let us be. To achieve this re.
suit, let us cheerfully sacrifice largely of party
spirit. If we the Wings can elect our own
men, sound on that question, let us do SO. Let
other parties do the same. If we cannot, let us
ask the aid of our fellow citizens of other par
ties, wherever we are the plurality and have a
right TO ask; and wherever either of the oppo-
sing parties is in the plurality and presents
reliable man on this point, let us cheerfuly ac-
cord our hearty good will and effective aid We
may in this modc-certainy we cannot in any
other-secure clear majority Of Free Soil men
in the House, without Southern aid. How then
would it be in the Senate? Again we say, that
body is equally divided but be it remembered
that the Wing National Convention has commit
ted the casting vote of the Senate to WILLARD
| FILLMORE, u true son of the North worthy to be
trusted in any emergency. The Southern
Wings have accorded us fnir. feid for this on
test. They give Us the opportunity 10 elect our
own men 10 Congress, 10 represent the North on
this question; they give Us the casing vote in
the Senate to which we are clearly entitled by
the prcponderance of populati in the free
states; and beyond this, they offer US a Pr,si

The English Press In Favor OF
Taylor.

- IT,
The London Times in commenting up
on Gen. Cass's friendship and sympathy
for Ireland, says:
"Upon the whole, we are inclined to
look upon Gen. Taylor as the fittest and
best man to be President of the United
States, and the one most likely to be rails
ed to that exalted post by the voice Of
the people,"
The Britishers don't like Gen. Cass.
He's the boy that defeated their famous
Quintuple Treaty. They had much rath-
er see good, easy old lack at the head of
affairs. He says he don't know thing
about government policy, foreign or do
nestle; and they think they could pull
the wool over his eyes easy. They tried
to wool Gen. Cass, and they couldn't
come it.

"ScOd We mo More Foreign
Troops"

The Wing Central Committee at WASH
ington have lately sent out thousands Of
Gen. Taylor's lives, printed in German.
We understand that they represent old
lack as great friend of foreigners in
general, and especially of the German and
other foreign troops under him.
Now the documents on file at WASH
ington, in the office of the Secretary at
War, prove that if the old hero feels any
friendship for foreignera, as class. he
has curious way Of showing it, that's
all. 1t there stands on record that Gen.
Taylor wrote home from Mexico telling
the department "SEND Me NO MORE
FOREIGN TROOPS!" Let the wings
deny it il they dare.

Pork Packing.

We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore, and
cut all lots offered of 100 hogs and upwards. and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slaugEtering. will enable
persons TO drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Our prices will be as low as at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, and no extra charge will be
made al any time for advance in salt or barrels;
but our list of prices will be rigidly adhered to.
Our stock OF Barrels and Salt is large. and
amply sufficient to meet the demand. We have
also added to the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for steaming out the Lard from the offal, which
is usually thrown away and is an entire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his ben
eft.
Having experienced help and good house, we
have no hesitation in saying we are prepared to
do justice to any lots entrusted TO us, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington a
good point to drive to for packing or selling
We will ray premium Of ten dollars tor the
heaviest hog delivered at oar Pork House the

That Tom Corwin, and other wings Of
Ohio, are praising up Gen. Taylor as be-
ing an ABOLlTlONIST, in order TO get
the Liberty and Free-soil voters of Ohio

SOUTHERN politicians contend that he is
opposed to the Wllmot Proviso, an anti

REDS OF SLAVES. The Southerners
are known to represent the old General
right, and IN Tie South the people know
that Tom and his cohorts are only deceiv-

A Railroad Convention, as will be seen

den in this city on the evening Of the
18th inst. Although. the notice was very
short, the meeting was quite large, which,
together with the interest and liberality
with which the audience seemed deter
mined to do all in their power to aid the
project, gave fiattering assurances that no
effort would be left untried for its adj
vancement. We hope our friends along
the line will agitate, and keep agitating,
until something definite is done. We see
no reasonable excuse for the inactivity of
our friends in Lee and Henry, nor, for
that matter, for others not on the imme-
diate route Of the proposed improvement.
This is a great work, and calculated
greatly to benefit the State at large. We
take the position that it must and will be
constructed some time. He then who
hastens the time of its completion, rem
ders most acceptable service to the pres
