We invite attention to the speech Of our able
representative, which is pronounced by those able
t1 judge to be one of the best delivered the sub

and his constituents can with great propriety say,

We hope to have the pleasure of seeing him

p Our friend Of the Nep London Chroniele,
will accept ur acknowledgements for the graceful
compliment paid US, in his last paper; We can cor
daily reciprocate, and add the expression Of our
earnest wish, that all the partizan Journals were
conducted with auch decency and fairness, as grace
the columns of the Chronicle. The hacknied par
ty slang and abusive epthets, which are loo often
found, in the papers Of both parties, find no favor
with it's accomplished editor; he advocates with
ability the principles Of his party but never diegra-
ces the profession, by senseless abuse OF his oP-
ponents. Whilst talking, of the Chronicle, we will
take the liberty Of clipping from its columns the
following short extracts as our Charleston Taylor
Democrats may need additional light. that they
may see more clearly their very enviable position.
The editor in rebuking the Wings. who have fra.
,ernised with the barnburning democracy says to
the recusants -
"Are they in favor Of free soil and against the

for what they profess to contend for themselves,
and all the dere ce is, that the wings ars seeking

The Taylor Democrats Of South Carolina. mus.
certainly see their folly, in blending their energies
to bring into power those men "who as party"
are in favor of free soil. The following extract
shows General Taylor's position throughout tho
Northern States, however much confidence his
Southern adheren's may have in his natural posi-
ton, as Southerner and slave holder.
"CAss AND THE PRov1so Our locofoco friends
of the press affect to doubt how General Cass will
act on the Wmot Proviso. 1t is very shallow
affectaon on their part to be sure, but we dare say
some we'll disposed democrats haue really had
doubts; though we trust they will have them no
longer. The following official rescrip. from The
Washington Union places the matter beyond all
cavll. The closing query, is of course easily an
swered. Gen"ral Taylor dare not make "such q
declarations" having already made adifferentone.
AT all events we are happy to understand BY
private letters that General Cass firmly stands the
ground which he has taien. Being applied to for.
mally by man or two of the Wilmot stamp, he
declared unhestatingly, that he adhered to his Nj.

such declaraton!' -
