"THE HIRELINe SoLDIER,-Some of the wings
affect to be greatly distressed because Roger
Barton, in one Of his recent speeches, demon
mated Gen. Taylor a " hireling soldier" Maj
Barton only spoke the truth, and the whole
truth" and it is rather strange that wings
who set up to be intelligent, should attempt
to call in question the propriety and j%ustness
of the we'll merited appellation. The whig
candidate is a "hireling soldier" and the worst
sort of hireling soldier too; because, if he be
Iieyes the Mexican war to have been unjust
the paw he received wasall that induced him to
lead on our armies. If q private in the regular
service should be denounced as a hireling,
these punctilious Iwhigs would make no
fuss about it. His pay of 81 a month would
not. however, entitle him to that considera-
uon, but General Taylor's princelv salary se
cures him from the low OpPellation, We re-
peat that General Taylor is a hireling soldier,
and has been such for near forty years. Arms
is his profession and money his pay,"-Ogtord

The NORTHERN DEMOCRATS AND THE SOUTH
The following just remarks are from the
New York Herald. We commend them to
the perusal Of our readers. The truth OF them
is apparent from the manner in which North
ern Democrats are going over by thousands
and tens Of thousands, to the support OF the
Free Soil candidate, and uniting with the lanai
zeal aboiitionists in his support, whilst the
Wings remain true as steel in support OF the
Southern candidate, Gen. Taylor.
@Another important consideration springs
also from the present aspect Of affairs For
many Years past, the Democrats OF the North
have looked on the South as their principal
s,av and best friends. Now however, judg-
inc from the position assumed by Nj. Van Blu
