There is To- be great mass meeting OF the
friends of Taylor and Fillmore, at Easion, on
Tuesday nexr, the 25th inst, when they will be
encouraged in rhes persevering efforts to redeem
their soil from rhe sway OF locoiocoism, by the en-
couraging smiles ef some thousands Of their pohr.
ical brethren from Lehigh, Bucks, and Warren
counties, who will be with them to hear Ogden
Hoffman, OF New York, make one of his eloquent
and soul stirring appeals. MIR. Ogden is one of
the most eloquent speakers in the Union, and few
men, if any, are more able to speak Of our public
men and measures. The way in which he will
expose the wiles and deceptons of Locofocoism
on Tuesday next, will be worth fifty miles jour
ney for any Taylorman TO hear We hope the
Taylormea of this Connty will be there on that
occasion.
Hon f. Joy Morris, A. E. Brown, Esq, and

every group Of foreigners the signal for rally

sat down with me in my parlor, at the Astor House
(Nov 1olO) to draw up an addrcssdosigncd to rally
a american party. The day after the election set
out for the South. and have never precisely known

The Whig OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Proceed
ings-General Taylor not Nominated.


New York was in the highest state OF excite
ment all day yesterday, from ten o'clock in the
morning till ten at night Of course we need not
tell our readers that the sensation was produced by
the proceedings of the wing convention in Phila-
delphia, and the continued succession of rumors,
and statements, relative to the vote on the nomi-
nation of a candidate for the next Presidency
First, 1t was announced at noon, that General
Taylor had received the wing nomination. This
threw the city into state of the greatest ex-
element The news rapidly run through every
street, lane, alley, house, shop, and hotel, in
town. 1t had thirty minutes to circulate, and
test the popularity of Old Rough and Ready
IN the city, before it was made known that the
report was premature. In arranging some sig
nails IN Jersey City, mistake was made by pri-
vate telegraph man, who showed white flag, the
signal agreed upon in case Taylor should receive
the nomination. 1t came out, however, in the
excitement and hubbub, that in the caucus held the
previous evening in PHILADELPHIA the vote thro,cn for
General Taylor ,oas one hundred and sirty-eight.
This rumor continued to astonish and delight
the friends of General Taylor, and carry terror
into the hearts of all the other politicians with
their candidates, until it was ascertained in the
course of the afternoon, that the actual vote in
caucus, on the preceding evening, had been one
hundred and twenty-four for General Taylor, nine
ty-nne for Mr.. Clay, forty-six for General Scott,
eighteen for Mr.. Webster, and three-good and true
three-for Judge Mclean. This continued the basis
of speculation and wonder, near the bulletins of
the newspapers, and at the hotels up to and until
half past eight o'clock in the evening. At this
hour, we received, through Morse's telegraph, the
first distinct vote taken by the Convention on the
nomination, which gave us the following result. -

paper, to which we refer our readers
In the whole course of our experience in these
matters, during the last quarter of a century, we
have seen no excitement on such subject reach
half the intensity which the Wing Convention has
created, not only in this city, but throughout the
whole Union. The rumors and reports, fabulous
or authentic, were caught up with equal eagerness
and despatched through the various telegraphs to
every part of the country. From Georgia to Maine,
and from New York to Michigan and Canada
over a space of two thousand miles-the ntell-
gence of the vote as it was taken yesterday, in
Philadelphia, was communicated on the wings of
the lightning of heaven.
We have much to say the wing proceedings;
but we shall take days reflection before we in

RECEPTION OF GENERAL CAss.-We give, in
another part of this days paper, account of the
reception of General Cass, the democratic nomi-
nee for the Presidency, in this city, yesterday.
The reception was arranged and conducted under
the auspices of the two Boards of Common Coun-
Gil of this city, irrespective of party politics Such
magnanimous conduct is entitled to the fullest
praise and commentator. General Cass was re-
ceived as the candidate of a political party, and
yet we saw wings and democrats joining in doing
honor to the man who had received that high no
nor. Time was when such acts would not be
marked with such lberaity In our early history,
political animosiy was carried to an extreme
point, and leading men, of each party looked upon
their political opponents as enemies, and refused
even to be on friendly terms with them in private
life. That tune is, however, past and we are glad
of it. There is no need of disliking men because
they believe in certain political measures, which
others condemn. The right to differ is sacred.
and the exercise of that right in political matters
is the safeguard of our Liberties and the instiu
tons under which we live.
We are glad that men of all political parties
took part in the reception of General Cass yester
day, and we hope that the conduct of the Com
mon Council, in getting it up and carrying i,
out, will be followed on all future OCCASIONS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2, IS4S.


Samuel Cowperthwaite, the lad of eighteen,
charged with the killing of Roger Kelly, by
shooting him on the 9th Of November last, in
Southwark, during a fight between two rival
gangs of rowdes, was arraigned this morning
for the high crime of murder. The young fell
low presents such youthful and respectable APP
pearance, and his countenance so entirely de-
void Of any of the evil passions Of murderer,
that it seems almost impossible TO think him
guilty of the deed. The absence of a principal
witness in the case, induced the Attorney Gene
raj to postpone the trial until the next term of
the court.
The trial of Joseph Webb, Julia Ashmore, and
Catherine Webb, tor the murder Of John Giles,
by pushing i'm down stairs, at a house in Mary
land street, was commenced this morning. The
parties are all colored persons, and the case ex-
cites very little interest.
Tomorrow the sale of the Saturday Courier
establishment is TO take place at the Exchange,
and speculation is busy as to what Will be the
result. The known intention OF McMakin TO
start new Courier If defeated In his purpose OF
getting the original paper, at mere 1.-THE OF lis

ready to give 500, 900 for 1T. from becoming Its
