From the Charleston Mercury, Sept. :.
THE VEro.-Upon no subject has Gen.
Taylor been more explicit than in his pledg-
es to refrain from the exercise of the veto
should he be elected President. mere ma
jority in Congress are to exercise, uncon-
troled and unchecked, the power of legisla-
ton, and the whole power of the Govern
ment will be thrown into the hands of the
of the Free States.
The following is an extract from speech,
made by Benjamin F. Hunt, at Democrat
ic meeting in Charleston, S. Carolina, on the
2lst of August last
As General, Gen. Taylor's fame is a
part of the jewels of his country as a gen
tleman, have no reason or design to ques-
ton him; but as statesman he at least is
not Of The South Carolina School.
will now test him on the slave question.
The question of the security of the slave
of the South, is certainly the only
one before which all others touching federal
politics are Insignificant; | can prone that
Oh he only question ao1c pending, General
Taylor is Uas0und, and that his accidental
possession eta plantation and negroes, does
not furnish any ground ofrelIance on that
subject | shall take away the only pretence
of excuse for the secession of the Demo-
Gratis.
The Cass and Butler men of Clinton,
Louisiana, in an address recently published,
make the following declarations, which ind-
cate small preference for Taylor:
"The interests and institutions of the
4 u
Taylor, and he has surrendered himself and
all who will follow him, Internationally, to
Willard Fillmore and his northern allies.
Gen. Taylor has abandoned the Consti-
tution, by leaving it in the power and con-
troll of majority of Congress, when itsis
known that majority of the rep
resentatives in that body comes from the
Free States.
g Gen. Taylor has made manifest his total
of the institution of slavery, by
refusing to say, what no other true Southern
man would refuse To say, whether or not be
would veto any bill or act of majority Of
restricting slavery to its present
limits.
Gen. TAYLOR, although protesting to be
guided by the Constitution, has pledged
himself to impair and mutilate that sacred

of 1.-THE veto clause-and that very part
which protects the rights of minorities, and
THE STILL GREATER RIGHTS OF
SHAREHOLDERS.
Gen. Taylor, in tie act of surrendering
his independent candidacy and accepting the
of the Philadelphia Convention,
has affiliated himself with the known Adolf
zionist, Willard Fillmore, and fraternized his
Southern friends with llmore's abolition
friends"

their hearts content, they closed as follows
