Messrs. Editors-I have been spending
day Or two here pleasantly enough, occupying
my time in bathing, fishing, sailing, and dane
ing occasionally. Gen. Taylor family and
staff, Col. Bliss, arrived here last night and
produced quite an excitement Anticipating
his arrival, the ladies stayed up to greet him,
as well as many of his male admirers and
friends. The place was Illuminated, and his
hundred gentlemen from Mobile arrived here
this morning to pay their deUoirs to the Gen
eral- AT IL, A. NJ, the hour appointed, the
delegation assembled in the drawing room, and
amid galaxy of beauty, Col. Root, OF Mo-
bale, formerly Of the U. S. Army, stepped for
ward and. after shaking the "Old Hero" by
the hand, said, General | come unauthor-
lied by any committee, but voluntarily in be-
half of my fellow-citizens here assembled, to
greet you, and TO tender TO you our high adrni-
ration for the gallant services YOU have rem
deredr your country, and for the brilliant victo
ries You have added to the page of our coun-
trys history, as well as TO pay our respect and
esteem TO the ennobling qualities of honesty
and virtue of your private character as an in
dividual" The scene was thrillingly interest
ing and there was not heart within the room
but beat with emotion, when Gen. Taylor,
nearly overcome by his feelings, took step
back, and replied nearly in the following words:
" Sir, thank YOU ia behalf of your fellow-citi-
zens of Mobile, here present, for the kind
manifestation of their feelings towards me ;and
permit me to say, sir, it is among the most
cherished recolections Of my memory-onc
which my heart cannot find words to give vent
TO nor express-that the citizens of Mobile were
among the first TO fly to the rescue of nv little
band, which was at the time so seriously threat
ene1 on the Rio Grande. The alacrity with
which they responded to their countrys call
is worthy Of the patriotism of their gallant
State. the remembrance of which can never
be eifaced from my heart, nor the expression
of their feelings toward nc, at the present mo-
ment, for which l again beg YOU to tender
them my warlnest thanks" The citizens of
Mobile were then presented and introduced to
Gen. Taylor. 1t was most imposing scene
and although Ifeel have not done justice to
the happy expressions of the General, vet he
never was more happy in reply, nor was he
ever more heartily greeted.

Joseph L. White, who would not support
Taylor because he was not good enongb
help him God he would vote for no man but
Henry Clay, now says that for Wings to sup
port Van Buren, is "the poetry of politics. the
religion of patriotism" The antithesis be
tween truth and poetry" has often been
quoted, but never we think, with greater eff
feet than it may be in this instance.-PrOri-

This reminds us of a story that runs in this
wise:

pendence-in the land of the self-evident
truth. 1t ,cas giren by President o. the Uni
ted States. 1t was of course null and void ;
and if, before the decision of the court, it had
been delivered to the Marshall, and he had ex-
ecuted it, he would have staked not only the
lives of the negroes, but his own head, and
that of Martin Van Buren,, the signer Of the or

The journals of The Barnburners are labor
ing 10 defend Mr.. Van Buren, against the
charge of giving the casting vote, while Vice
President, in favor Of law for robbing the
mails of anri-slavery pamphlets and papers.
They say he did not vote Tor the law, nor is
there such law in existence, True, the
bill did not pass out it was not the fault OF
Mr. Van Buren,. He gave The casting vote
10 its favor, in the Senate. on its third read
ing, which is always the test vote. His vote
cannot be explained away nor excused. Mr..
Van Buren, has made no apology for this or
the attempt TO send those poor Amistad me-
groGs back into slavery. The Barnburners

as every one knows, is to get The ia! offices
from the Old Hunkers. They have adopted
third ('' free soil') as a profession, which
is intended for "sprinses 10 catch wood

VAN buren, CYPHERING.

pose their lastly. On looking at the Cou-
rer's "crow" again, however, we find il op-

I. E., it exposes itself! The Courier gives

Now, then, we have taken the trouble TO
wade though the entire list from which this
Van Buren, organ cyphers up lie results, and,
according 10 us ol1n detailed statement, its
own figuring should be: Wings 90, Free
Soil II, Democrats 81 making a majority
against The Wings of Is. A paper whose
premises don't sustain its conclusions better
than this, at the outset, gives poor promise
oil future reliability.
Again: in the extract from the Pan b.
rem Courier, given above, it will be seen thai
returns are given for POI towns. Now there
are just is towns in which there is .no
choice" Adding these, it will be found 10

GENTLEMEN / have received your favor of
the 22d ult and regret that am unable to accept
your invitation The propriety of nominating a
Free Soil ticket for electors of President and
Vice-President in Alabama is one that could be
best and most impartially considered by the citi-
zens of that State, unembarrassed by their friends
in other States, who may feel the deepest interest
in the determination to which they shall come.
Nor, were it otherwise, could spare from the ac-
tive duties of this campaign the large portion of
the brief time allotted to it which would be nee
essary to be occupied IN travelling TO Gainesville,
and in returning. But / cannot allow the occa-
sion to pass without returning you my sincere
thanks for your kindness, and expressing the de-
light with which l find the real position of the
friends of Free Soil appreciated as it deserves by
the intelligent freemen of Alabama. The high
compliment bestowed by that State on our nom
inee for the Presidency, in the Two instances to
which you refer, is not the whole debt we owe to
its patriotic citizens. Its State Convention in a.
after active canvass declared its preference for
the same individual, over an eminent and able
Southern candidate. Nor can we believe that its
true-hearted Democracy now sanction the aggres-
sive position which it has recently been made to
assume.-Ihe security Of the rights Of Shareholders

Progress of the Plot.

The Globe says of the Free Soil party that the
present movemen. is scarcely less active in many
of the slave States than the free Maryland
has held a Free Soil State Convention. which
made an electoral ticket Virginia and Kentucky
will also have Free Soil electoral tickets. Lou
isiana is forming her Van Buren, Clubs. which ad-
vocate not only Free Soil, when the term is meant
to exclude slavery from territories but also Free
dom of the Public Lands to actual settlers. North
Carolina is about 10 move in favor of Free Soil,
and the Globe expects to hear Of Free Soil next
IN South Carolina, in the neghborhood of the res
idence of the great nullitier, John c. Calhoun.
Nov we are very much mistaken if our aders
do not find some explanation of the matter from
careful perusal of the following correspondence
between a committee of the friends of Free Soil
in Alabama and John Van Buren,.
GAINESVILLE, Ala, Aug %, Is4s.
JoHS VAN buren,, Esq.-Dear Sir On be-
half of the friends of the Buffalo Convention of
this vicinity, we tender you an invitation to Free
Soil dinner to be given on the I'd of October s4s,
IN this place. One object we contemplate is the
consideration of the propriety of forming Free
Soil ticket for the ensuing Presidential election in
this State. Alabama has twice supported the dis
tingushed statesman alluded to- because his sent
iments conceded with those of the immortal JEFF
ferson, the undertaking friend of human liberty.
She rallied around his standard in the glorious
campaign of 1886. and did not desert him in the
hour of disaster in 1910. He was then, as now,
the freeman's friend-the tyrant's foe If we fail
TO support him at this eventful period, we should
Oe inconsistent.
Many of US desire an opportunity of manifest
ing our high regard for him, as VIC have heretofore
done, and would be much pleased at your pres
ence to assist in our deliberations
