THE BERKELEY wzre CLUB.
Mfr Boteier's speech.

Monday last, being Court-day, the Berkeley
Wing Club held its second regular meeting.
A. r. Boteler, Esq. Of jefferson who happen
ed to be present, was loudly called for BY the
meeting, and though he had only about half an
hours notice of the intention Of the Club to call
upon him for speech, he promptly responded
to the invitation. To more chaste, beautiful
and impressive address we have scarcely ever
listened no matter what the occasion. The de-
lighted auditory frequently interrupted the glow
ing eloquence of the speaker by spontaneous out
bursts of applause. To give anything like a fair
sketch of the remarks of Mr.. Boteler, is utterly
impossible. We can only say that those Of
to hear him, missed rich treat, whilst those
who were present left the meeting with renew
ed zeal in the cause of Constitutional Liberty
The parallel shewu by Mr. Boteler of the char
acter OF Gen Cass, the political sycophant who
was the friend Of erery President, and always a
partizan of the party in power, and that of Sir
Tertnax McSycophant. who always "boaed
to great mon, was capital hit. His eloquent
tribute to the Sage of Ashland went straight to
every Wing heart, and his aIluson to the death
of Harrison was one of the most beautiful and
touching figures we have ever heard or read
After Mr.. Boteler concluded, Andrew Hunter
was called for but excused himself on the plea
of sore throat when D. H. Conrad, Esq. who
presided over the meeting, was called up, and
made short and earnest address, in which he
urged upon the Wings the duty of giving zeal
Gus support to the nominees of the Wing Con-
vention. Mr.. C. then humorously alluded to
the position of Gen. Taylor In regard to the two
parties, "The Wings support him." said Mr..
c.. "because he has pledged himself that he is a
Wing, and that Democrats ought not to object
to him. for he has assured them that il elected he
would administer the Government according to
the principles of Washington, whom they all
profess to admire" The club then adjourned.

disposition manifested to get up excitement against

Strange tell those who are busiest in this business

We presume it will be found to be the case
all over the Southern country, that the men who
are the least interested IN the protection Of Slave
property, are most noisy in their zeal for our
peculiar Institutions We have always found
it to be the case that those who never pay taxes,
are the most constant grumblers about the bur-
deus laid upon the people, and upon the same
principles we suppose, we may account for the
fact that the politicians who are not troubled
with the vexations to which slave owners are
liable, have most time to defend the rights and
interests of their neighbors.

roa. rrrrmoRr,s LETTER.

The letter of Mr. Fillmore to the Hon John
Gayle, member of Congress from Alabama IS
decisive answer TO the Locofoeo Presses which
were so busily engaged in dencuneing him as an
AboIitonis,, and must quiet the affected fears o.
those timid politicians who suspect the ciosen
foot OF AboIitionism under the garb OF every
Northern Wing Statesman. James K. Polk can
be trusted by these consistent gentlemen even
after signing a bill with the Wilmot Proviso in
it, whilst Mr. Fillmore is an object of dread lest
in the event Of his elevation he might by Poss'-
bilitp be placed in situation in which he would
have the power to do the same thing

have access to any paper OF memoranda TO refresh
my recollection, but think at time while IN
Congress took occasion state in substance my
views on the subject OF slavery in the States. Wheth-
er the remarks were reported not am unable TO
say but the substance was that regarded slavery as
an evil but one with which the national government
had nothing TO do That by the Constitution OF the
United States, the whole power that question
was vested in the several States where the institution
was tolerated If they regarded i, blessing they
