a NORTHERN lTEM-We copy the following
tronfthe Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph, a strong
Cass paper, as will be seen from the tenor of
the article.
Crss and TaylOr-S lauery-s The Van Buren,
abolition wings are attempting to show that
the position Of Cass, is as Objectionable upon
the question Of slave extension, as that of Gen.
Taylor. How any man Of sense and common
sense can make such assertions, we cannot
comprehend. Cass is northern man, with all
the sympathies of Northern democrat, and is
personally opposed to the slave system. He
IS the advocate Of a doctrine applicable to
the territories which will prove mole effec
tual to prevent the introd elton of Slavery
therein, than fifty Wilmot Provisos----and as a
Northern President, he will be bound by that
public opinion which he will mainly represent,
TO til .ow every constitutional obstacle in the
way OF Slave extension--.-while on the other
hand, Taylor is slave owner---livinu in the
midst OF slave owners, is, (f Campbell is to be
believed, the candidate of Slaveocracy---
pledged as lar as man can be by position, char.
acter, interest and association to extend the
area of slavery as far as the people Of the slave
States require or demand-Could there be
more gross insult to the common sense Of
northern wings, than to ask them to vote fo,
Taylor, because he is a Wilmot Proviso man
Wilmot ~proyiso, indeed! the idea Of a southern
slave breeder is preposlerous,
But now bear Gen, Cass, and remember that
not only are these his personal feelings, he i.
also the firm adherent of a doctrine defended
by Chief Justice fancy, Judge Mclean, sila.
Wright, and a host Of other distinguished
statesmen, which most efectually prevents tn,
existence Of slavery in the new free territories
"We are no STAKEHOLDER, we never have beef
we never shall be. We deprecate its e~xistenc,
in principle and pray for its abolition every
where, where this can be effected Justly ant
peoceably, and safely for both parties"
Will any free soil Taylor wing produce u
something like this from Old lack? In ii
language of Antony and Judge Wright " W
pause for a reply

We see in the last Cartollton Democrat a

pTHE ATTALA PLATFoRM.-So much in love
with platforms are the Locos that not even a
county meeting for business can DO held, I'M
ess a new platform is built. or all that have
tecently COM under our notico we think the
Attala platform exhibits the cunning hand Of
a Locofoco architect. We commend il to the
study Of young politicians. Thus il reads:
"Res0lred, That this association rather be
right, Than for any member to be President o.
the United States.
"Res0lUed, That we are right and will never
cease our warfare until w%higgory is complete.
y anhihilated, and old FAC becomes as com.
petont Tor President, as we find our gIoriou,
Cass and Butler to he well drilled IN Democta
cy, and looking upon it as next best to our hol,
religion, which God in his goodness has lait
down Tor every man"
Another resolution passed on The same oc
cssion deserves the attention Of the hungry
tits as follows:
" Resolred, Tha. the ci~tizensof Alfalfa an.
adjoining counties, without distinction Of par
ty, be invited to partake With US Of the goo
old fashion Democracy.n
What crime old fashion Democracy has bee
guilty Of that these Locos should wish TO bar
becue il, like a martyr Of old, and serve ii u
10 the c%itizens of Alfalfa, we know not. W
trust that the friends o. Taylor, who now hay
il in charge, will not allow these Loocos to Of
Tain lssession Of IL.

The Democrats (says the Richmond WING. y are
giving themselves good deal of unnecessary con-
Germ about Gen. Taylor's acceptance of the nomina
ton by the Philadelphia Convention We assure
them that 1t is useless for them to be uneasy on
that score. The Convention when it nominated
him, knew him TO be Wing it therefore laid
down no ''platform' of principles for him to sub
nit TO, and required no pledges at his hands. 1t
knew that he has from the beginning refused to
take any part in the canvass. He has had no
gency IN putting his name before the people, and
he will have none in taking it down. While he
solicits no mans vote, he will not refuse that of
any one. But every person who votes for him will
do so with the distinct understanding that in prin-
cpe, he is Wing, and will make the Consti,u
ton his guide in the administration of the Govern
ment.
It will, we presume. be upon grounds like these.
