CENTREvILLE June 12, 1S4s
The nomination of General Cass for President and
Butler for Vice President has given the greatest satsfac
ton in this region of country The excitement grows
stronger and stronger. We have this day raised up
beautiful young hickory, and hosted Cass and Butler
flag upon it's top All is right here. Virginia is safe and
no mistake. Mark my word, General Taylor will be
worse beaten in Virginia than Henry Clay would have
been His letter, where he says will be the candidate
of any party. democratic, wing, or abolition, proves
every democrat that precedent of the abolition party
running candidate would be dangerous precedent
must close by relating little incident that happened
in little village Saturday last The STAGE passing
through here brought the that General Taylor had
got the nomination of the wing party. Well, the wings
rejoced tremendously and exued, declaring that the sue
cess of their candidate was This excited the dem
ocrats and subscription Immediately drawn up to
raise hickory pole and flag and forthwith every
democrat subscribed, and two three wings united with
them Well, sir it would have done your heart good to
see the wings throw their heads. Says wing to a
democrat: thought you promised go for Gen Taylor
He replied did say provided the Baltimore conven-
ton nominated him, and endorsed him good democrat
He further said cannot support any man who declares
he has been forty years engaged in the service OF his
country, and further declares peremporly that he has
not formed any opinions upon the great questions
before the country. Such man, said he is wholly in

General Taylor AbolitionistyI
VIII not this be for the southern whgs' Ay,
and for the northern wings also But it must be So If
there is any truth in whgery In the National Inelli-
gencer OF June 49, there processes to be embodiment
OF wing sentiment, collected from of the leading
wing journals OF the north The first quotation is from
the "Boston Atlas" which had just heard of the nom-
nation OF Gen: Taylor by telegraph The editor by way
OF consolng the friends of Webster and of Cay-who
doubtless were amazed at the announcement and also BY
way OF caoling them into the traces for refractory
spirit approaching an outbreak appears to have been
manifested by not few of the fathful-says "Let them
(the whigs they really to be right and to act for
me best, and ruth clear conscenes, Heaven save the
mark y consider Whether they really hare ana good
grounds for their hesitation to support Gen Taylor Let
them ledrn--aS they wW learn If then tvM not be deaf
and bl,nd TO the truth-that Gen Tailor is a wtig in
principle; rs an favor of peace opposed TO oil ,rar be-
heues slavery to be curse 10 the country, and desires
determinations and opposed to the further extension of
SLAVE territory. When they shall learn these things we
believe that no man vho truly loves the rhg party and
Uho believes ITS success essential TO safety and prOper
ty can for moment hesitate to believe duty calls him
to gaoe him has ardent and Jealous support"
Here is the Taylor wing platform, as laid down by the
Boston Atlas for its friends of the north The erternina-
ton Of Slavery and free territory! Does the National In
communicated by the private information received by the
lntellgencer from those in whom they entirely conde or
not! Nevertheless, such Gen Tayor's sentiments
as heralded forth to the world by the Atlas What next
may we not expect as composing other portions of the
wing platform of principles, yet unknown and unde-
fined Verify the old veteran has fallen upon evil times
in attempting to play the politician and may have occa
sion to say, long, in reference these same wing
journals, "If this be whgery, from such friends "

correspondent commenting upon the wing ratifca-
ton meeting of last Monday week, observes that it
produced San instance of inconsistency the character
of Mr.. Crittenden which cannot be palliated" When
Gen Jackson-whose disposition to avow his principles
and hmness OF character and who could compare with
Gen. Taylor in all the qualifications of soldier and
satesmanwas before the people for the presidency in
opposition to Mr. Adams, Mr. Crittenden. in substance
said Seen Jacksons conversancy in business and poll
tics of that character which did not fit him for the
presidency" And now, this gentleman, upon whose
experience and eloquence Senate have sometimes de-
lighted to hang, can get up in political meeting and
laud Gen. Taylor to the skies every way suit
able to administer this republic; whose
cy in business and politics" must take for granted is
all right for he has said very little in relation thereto
If Mr.. Crittenden and his party can hoodwink the
masses OF this country and succeed in electng General
Taylor then, for the first time since the foundation of
the government will this republic be administered by a
man whose mind acknowledged to be so by himseIf)
