The VAN BURES MEETIEG.-The Cincinnati
Signal, the Democratic Barnburner organ in
Cincinnati, gives the following account of the
Van Buren, meeting recently held in that city.
1t will be seen that il was almost entirely COM
posed of Democrats. Cass stands no earthly
chance Of getting the vote Ohio.
The Ratification meeting on Saturday even
ing, was glorious outpourng OF the Demo
cratic masses. Thousands upon thousands
were there, and more enthusiastic, yet order
ly assembly, We have never seen. 1t was the
largest public meeting that has been held In
Cincinnati for many years, and the repeated
and deafening cheers for our noble and stand
ard bearer, Martin Van Buren,, eyinced the
hold which he has upon the People.
One thing was noticeable about the meeting
OF the officers and the committee, all OF whom
have been straight laced Democrats heretofore
more than half are young men under thirty
years of age. Young America is with US. We
have a few of the Democratic fathers ''for con-
sci, and ourselves. the Democratic youth, fol
faction"
The members well rebuked those miserable
Ohio dough faces at Washington, who say tina
Van Buren, will not get one hundred Demo
Graf votes in Ohio. The ldes Of Novem
Der will teach them alesson they will not soor
forget.
snoken for VAN BURES AND Freedom in thun
der tones! Let an echo come back from every
hamlet and village in the Statel Up and be
doing. Let our champions, TaPPan, and Brin-
kerhoff, and Stanton, aud others speak out
Let Jeffsrsonan League be formed. as IN N.
Y. Leta thorough organization be effected;
and in November we shall sweep the State
Organize! Unite Act and all will be right!

and request of Gen. Taylor himself From
sundry articles which have appeared in several
of the public journals of the city of New Or

persons claiming to speak for him, have pro-
duced the impression that he is not satisfied
with what Judge Saunders and the other MEM
bers of the Louisiana Delegation to the Ma
iionaI Wing Convention, who acted with him,
saw fit to do and say in that body in his (Gen.
Taylor's) behalf; and that he repudiates such
acts and sayings. Did these rumors and reports
affect only himself, Gen. Taylor would not
trouble the public concerning them; but a:
they affect, whether so intended or not, the
good report and candor Of gentlemen whose
pariiality for him has made them objects Of re
proach and suspicion, he feels constrained by
sense Of duty and justice, 10 authorize then
TO be met by distinct and peremptory de
NAL.
GA CARD.-We are authorized by Gen. Tay
lor to say that the course of the Louisiana Del
egation in the Wing Convention lately assem-
bled at Philadelphia, meets with his entire
full and unequivocal appreciation. That he not

A Doc STORY A gentleman of the
name of McLafin, Residing in Rockingham
county, N. H., a few years ago, possessed a
dog that was remarkable for his sagacty.--
He one day told the dog TO 60 and find a
handkerchief which his child had lost in
distant field while picking berries. The dog
started off with his usual alacrity, but in the
course Of an hour or two returned without
the handkerchief, looking as cres:-fallen as
though he had been caught in neighbour
sheepfoId. The master cuffed his ears
sharply, and told him TO go and try again,
aud moi come back until he found it. The
dog started off again with apparent reluc-
lance, while The master followed al a distance
behind, and unperceiyed. The dog went to-
wards the field where the child had picked
the berries, and sat down on his launches,
held down his head, and appeared 10 be in q

lie sat in this attitude for perhaps hal
an hour, when he suddenly jumped up with
peculiar yell Of exultation, and started fol
one corner Of the field. Here he stopped
for moment. and then commenced tro,iing
around the field, going about three fee,
from the fence the first time, about six the
second aud thus continuing 10 near the mid
die at each succeeding circle. He wen
round the field about twenty times, when he
jumped up into the air with loud yell O
triumph. picked up the handkerchief, and
stated for home.
The veraciy OF this narrative may be re
lied upon. We received il from Mr. F.
Baptist clergyman of great responsibility
Now, did the dog reason ma!hematcally?-
Does this go to add proof iha, instinct is bu
another name for reason.

MARrIN VAN BURENs NoMINATIoN--ITs
CoNsEQUENcEs-THE CERTAINTY OF GENERAL
TAyLoRs ELEcTIoN.-The Locofoco party made
the Mexican war; the war brought up the Will
mot proviso as practical question; the Will
mot proviso has caused the nomination of Mar
tin Van Buren, for the Presidency; and the
nomna ton of Van Buren, renders certain the
utter prostration of the Locofoco party in the
approaching election. Ii is thus that deed
of stupendOus guilt has resulted by direct
chain of consequences in the signal punish
ment Of its guilty authors.
We find all the Eastern papers full of spec
ulation as TO the probable effects of Mr.. Van
Burens becoming candidate. for the Presi
dency, but none Of them seem really TO enter
alma doubt that il insures the defeat Of Cass BY
a perfectly annihilating majority. The gener-
al impression at the East is that Cass will no
get solitary State i'm the Union. Even hi,
warmest friends scarcely attempt 10 hide thei
utter despair under the guise of their furiou,
rawlings at Mr.. Van Buren, The Loco!oco par
ty in New York, in the five New England
States, in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylva.
MIA, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, anC
Wisconsin, will be divided between Van Blu
rem and Cass, so that Gen Taylor will carry
| those States almost without a contest. A!
for the South, he will sweep through il as vic
toriously as he sweeps from the Rio Grande Il
Buena Vista. We believe he will be elected
by majority utterly without parallel in the
whole history Of contested Presidential cleo
tons.
Such at least are the present Indications
We now strongly incline to the belief, that
b fore November, the Locofocos will virtually
yield the contest, and, that the best Of then
will unite in Gen. Taylor's support. We con
graduate them that they can support him with
out doing violence to their own feelings, know
ing as they do that he is good man and a pa
triot, one who has rendered glorious service.

of the nation and not Of party, and who
would not break pledge TO save his life
