How Taylorissm Nicks 'em.

Greely of the New York Tribune, con-
fessedly the ablest wing journal of the
Union, speaking of the election in this
State, bemoans the downfall of whigery in
the following strain:
IowA.-There has been desperate
struggle for the Legislature Of this State;'
and we presume the wings have lost it.
We submit that the Tayiorization Of the
wing party has not, so far, paid expenses.
OF the future, we are not Inclined to pro-
phecy. ''Sufficient unto the day, &c."
Yes, verify; well may it be said of fed
eral whigery in this State, Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof" But had
Greely known the full extent Of the APP
plicances made use Of by Taylor whigery
in the late election, and the character OF
the Mormon allies whose aid was secured
to prevent a defeat, perhaps ''the Taylori-
cation CT the wing party'' might have APP
peared less disgusting to him. He would
have seen that the wings have not oaly
5s.lost'' the State, but the little confidence
to which their leaders ever laid claim, as
well as their own seli-respect, if indeed
they ever had any.
Iowa capitol reporter. [volume] (Iowa City, Iowa) 1841-1855, 1848-09-13

Taylcrism, having been entirely driven
from the western states in the late cleo
'tions, and being hopelessly indisposed al
the East, its advocates have until now look
ed with some degree Of confidence for
signs of health in the South. 1t now APP
pears that even this last hopeis about fad
ing from the dim eyes of dying dough-
face whigery. The result of the late cleo
ton in North Carolina shows anything but
GONZALES in that quarter.
Hear what The great gun of whigery,
the n. Y. Tribune, says of the wing pros
poets in this hitherto strong hold Of whig-
cry:
"NoRru CARoL1SA.-The result in this
state is drawn battle, which is Taylor
defeat. Not that the State will vote for
Cass in November, fer we presume it will
not; but it will DO nothing towards indu-
cling other States to vcic for Taylor
Whether it has elected Manly or Reid,
with Wing or Loco-F Geo majority in The
Legislature, the result is severe rebuke
to the blind guides and false prophets who
urged the nomination of Tay lor as calcu-
lated to sweep the entire South. 1t will
evidently do no such thing"
Iowa capitol reporter. [volume] (Iowa City, Iowa) 1841-1855, 1848-09-13
Another Gum Sptked.-Gen. Cass's
Land Speculation.

The wing press are busily engaged just
now in hunting up and arranging in their
columns every public act of Gen. Cass out
of which they imagine there is the least
chance Of undermining his well-earned
reputation. Failing in this, however, in
consequence of the great dearth Of mate
rial to operate upon and the uniform cor
rectness of Gen. Cass's official conduct,
they have descended SO far, as TO rake up
his private business transactions. One OF
these storis now going the rounds Of the
wing press, is from the well known man
ufactory of Prentice ofthe Louisville Jour
nal. II relates to some old land transac-
tons Of 1886, and as told by Prentice,
wildly suggests the idea that the day OF
initiation and wild humbug above alluded to
was present with the writer, and that he
imagined himself acting the scenes over
again. This article went the rounds ofthe
wing press until its utter falsity was prov
ed by Mr.. Kercheval,a agent Of the company
which Gen. Cass was charged with de-
frauding. They aye now forced to come
out themselves and give evidence to its
falsity. The Ohio State Journal and the
Detroit Advertiser, the organs Of the wing
party in their respective States, are among
the number. The former says.
ga MISTAKE CoRREcrED.-A letter
published in the Detroit Advertisre adj
dressed by Il. B. Kercheval, Of Detroit,
to the editor oil that paper, denies that Gen.
Cass was guilty Of the frauds charged up
on him in an article published in the
Louisville Journal, in regard to the spec
ulations of certain land company in
which General Cass is said to have been
a stakeholder. Mr.. kerchevai, whose
statement cali be relied on, fully clears
Gen. Cass of the imputations cast upon
him, and shows that he had no active par
ticipations in the affairs of the company"
The whole story was concocted for po-
litical effect, its authors knowing :; to be
false, and if there was any ''mistaLe'
about the matter, it was made by those
who supposed the calumny would inare
to the benefit Of whiggery.
How utterly low and debased the Lou
isvilIe Journal must be, when the Ohio
State Journal is forced to acknowledge
and place the brand of falsehood upon its
statements.

State of ! arties in tlar House CT
Representatives..

The inquiry is often made, as to the re-
suit ofthe Presidential contest, int the event
OF its being carried into the Hause Of Re-
representatives.. Although the chances are
against any such thing, the Albany jour
nal subjoins the political complexion of that
body, by States;-premising, what every
one knows, that if no one candidate shall
have majority of all the electoral votes,
one of the three highest candidates voted
for by the people, shall be selected by the
House of Representativ leach State cast
ing but one vote:--
Maine, Virginia, South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri Tennessee,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa.--l5.
Whig.-Vermont, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Mary land, North Car
DINA, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky-l2.
Tied.-New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Georgia--3.
That the election Of President will go
into the House, we have never for me-
ment believed; recent indications and po-
litical movements render it still more GER
tain that the people will settle the matter
themselves, and in favor of the democratic
nominees, by an overwhelming majority.
The more knowing portion of our oppo-
nents, however, having abandoned all hope
of Gen. Taylor's election by the people,
are feeding themselves up with their fan
cied prospects for throwing it into the
House. How poor Their prospects would
be even there, the above table shows.
1t would deyolve upon the present, or
thirtieth Congress to elect, but as neither
party has a majority of States, either fur
changes to wing delegations must be made,
by death, resignation, or oiherwise--or
one change to democratic delegation, be-
fore an election could take place III TIE
House. Section second Of the 18th Art.
of amendments to the Constitution says,
that eff no person have majority, of
electoral votes, then from the tro high
est numbers on the list, The Senate shall
choose the V,ce President" In this event,
as the Senate is largely democratic, the
election OF Gen. Butler would be certain
matter, and he would be, to all intents and
purposes, President. So that, "any way
it can be mixed up" the chances are in
favor of democratic triumph, or the GER
tanties of the defeat of the Universal Wing,
party with their '.expediency' candidates.
Alas poor whiggrey! Alas for the iirm,of

And still they Gene!

Il Ls,er from Gen. Toyior on the BAL
rrMoR& P!niform!-Gen Taylor has writ
ten another letter to a friend in Charles
ton, S. c. in which he reiterates that he
will not 90 into the Presidential chair
traEn,neled with pledges, and says, "Ihave
accepted the nomination of the Philadel-
phia wing convention as well as the nom
inatinns of many prominent assemblages
gotten up in various sections of the Union,
in ssme instances irrespective Of party,
and would have accepted the nomination
of the Baltimore convention had it been
rendered on the same terms"

Bighec|.

On Saturday evening last, great and
enthusiastic ieeting of the "iree nigecrs"
Of st. Louis, was held in the upper hall,
usually denominated cock loft, of an i'm
mense stable, belonging to a ''free gem

ton
On motion of Dick Shank, Esq, the
Hon" MANUEL Banjo, was called to the
chair, and Bob Shinhone and Jim Postum
were appointed Secretaries.
After few appropriate remarks, the
President introduced to the meeting, POM
pey Bigheel, Esq, who was received with
most enthusiastic cheers.
Mr.. Bieheel said, ale felt proud all

word more to say-il ebbery free niger
will stand up to de nominations, we'll
soon hah all de poor white foxes under

Here the cheering was so great, and the
applause so prolonged, that fears were en-
tertained that the stable would fall down
one nigger jumped so high that his head
broke hole through the roof.
We have not room for all the resolutions
the following is the principal one re-
sponsive to the nominations:
