The Tallahassee Sentinel makes the
following extract from a communication
signed madison" which it finds in the
Jacksonville News, Democratic paper:
81 lhave turned to Cass' speeches and
votes on the Pruviso, to his Nicholson
letter, and to the platform laid for us by
the convention. have made them mat
;ers of careful study, and have come to
the conclusion, that though they are not
in the words the same as that laid down
by our Madisonl Convention, they are as
a whole subject to no other intelligent
construction. There is want of point,
but like the celebrated Kane letter of
Mr.. Polk, it was designed, suppose, to
allow our northern friends some chance
to carry the party vote there, and it was
left open in this way, doubtless for the
purpose of misting the Wing party with
some show of resistance here"
The above is an acknowledgement OF base
fraud, which has hitherto been denied by the
party in power-tO wit the letter, by which
YIN WuS represented Ill NulId, ITO bCttSl
Tariff man than Clay.
The acknowledgment comes from the other
side and cannot be denied. Let the people be
ware. Cass' Nicholson letter upon tile subject of
slavery has been written for the same purpose
10 carry the South aud "to allow Northern dough-
faces to carry the vote" of their section of the
country. ....
The different lives of Cass, which have been
published are but another part of the same game
The plot to deceive the people has been well laid
and the country should be duly thankful to Mr..
Mangum for exposingit.
The fraud has been exposed-the purposes
which it was intended to accomplish are apparent,
and if the people allow themselves. to be again
deceived, it will not be because they were not
forewaned. ...-
The question of slavery extension which has
been forced upon the American people by the
Mexican war, is ofin6nitely too much importance
to be thus trihed with-and large portion of the
northern democracy SO view it. Hence the de-
lections from Cass, witnessed every day.

Interesting Letter.

The writer Of the following note, Dea-
con Joseph White, formerly of West
Boylston, now OF Winchendon, has long
been favorably known in this county,
He showed to us the original letter from
the Rev. Mr.. l.. which we publish below.
We do not here give the name of the
clergymen, though it has, as we per-
ceive. already gone forth to the public in
connection with some remarks which he
made at meeting of the association of
clergymen of which he is member.
Our readers will here find the testmo-
ny of this highly respectable and devoted
minister, coincid!ng with the multiplied
proofs from various quarters, where Gen
eral Taylor has been personally known,
concerning his pure and lofty character.
In all that constitutes man of worth he
is not only above reproach, but he de-
servedly holds rank for character among
the nobest men the country has produ-
ced. The more we learn of him the bet
ter he stands. His friends invite scruti.
ny, because with forty years of public life
now spread before MS cOuntrymen, lie
can bear the test

Correspondence of lhe Ohio State Journal.
General Taylor in Old GPauga.

JuDGg THRALL-Dedr Sir: On the eve
of the 18th inst. Hon. WM. l.. PERKINS
addressed the Wings of the county atlhe
Court House. The house was well filed
at an early hour, and all appeard very
anxious to hear from our Philadelphia
Delegate. After few remarks from
Gen. A. E. PAINE. (who served as aid to
Gen. Taylor in Florida Mr.. PERKINS as
cended The stand and gave full account of
the Conveniion-the reason why he had
written letter condemning the nomlna-
tion-why he was now in favor OF the
nomination and why every other Wing
should, at this time, Danish the spirit of
disaffe ction and unite to secure a Wing
administration of the General Govern
meut. He was clear, lucid and convin-
cling in his remarks. He had written
against the Convention under the inhu-
ence of excitement, and after taking the
sober second thought" he said that the
issue was between Taylor and Cass, and
as between these he had great choice
he considered it dutyto make that choice
After he had spoken two or three hours,
during which he was listened to with
great attention by the hundreds present,
a vote was taken. "Alllhos opposed to
the election of General raylur will say
mol" No; voice was heard in opposition.
The question was fairly put aud fully un-
derslood; and not one vote was given
against him. Old Geauga is right side
~ with care. The"so "sobersecond thought
is having its salutary influence, and be-
fore the Ides Of November. all will be
well. Respectfully yours,

Nofice to Free Soil Vofers.

Every Free Soil voter must take the trouble to see
that his name is tile list of voters the mad in
which he lives
The impression prevails to some extent, that If one is
duly registered voter in ward in which he lived
in May last or even but few days since, that he may
now vote in that ward although his residence is now in
another. This is mistake, and in consequence OF ii,
manywill doubtless lose there votes. Look then every
