Committee OF Public safety.

Since The nomination OF General Taylor
by the Wings. it has become alarmingly
manifest to the Committee Of Public Safely
that he will be elecIcd by large majority
\nd in view OF this, The sagacious and pa
lriOtic Chairman of that Committee is about
TO take means for the "Pu5lic Safety" by
issuing Pronunciamento, in which he will
,ake ground as follows:
l. That il was treacherous and tyranDi-
cal, on the part Of the Wing Convention, to
nominate "Old Zack" for the Presidency.
Z. That the majority ol the people Of the
United States, being in favor Of him for
President, are an overbearing. and tyran
nical set OF federal" drsperadoes, and moi
tit to have power to govern.
3. That for these causes, the "PubliC
Safely" is in danger; and therefore,
4 That the minority are the only true
aud democratic patriots, and that It Is per
fectly consistent with the precedent estab
ished heretofore 0%TAt No. le.-E0 thai
The minority, voting for CasS, should govern
And therefore, as an ''ullerlor MEASURE
5. The Constitution ofthe United States
shall be placed in the hands and keeping o

Taylor aud the Majority shall accede to the
reasonable requests Of the democratic mi
nority. And faili,g this

Locofocoism, in this county. we publish
the following from last weeks Eagle:
The Gazette unqualGedly declines

Scott and Marcy Correspondence"
The readers of our paper know that
there is not word of truth in the above.
We expressly stated that circumstances
might happen, which would lead us to
accept TIE offer. Is this an "unqual,fed''
decinationl
The article, from which the above is
taken, closes as follows:
The secret of this petty chicanery is
easily seen. ScOtt is expected to be the
federal candidate for President; and to
publish this correspondence. in adcance
gfthat erent would signally chill federal
zeal, and encase ham in an iceberg of con-
tempt"
That is, correspondence, that "would
signally chill federal ZEAL" should be
kept back for fear Scott would be nomi'

it would do him no injury. That idea il

The whole NIaller im a Nut Shell.

Tho talented editor of the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser. in commenting
upon the propositions recently made by
the revolutionary Convention al Colum-
bus, states the whole case in very few
words, as follows:
These propositions, & the endorsement
of the recusant Senators, are clearly sub
versive of all constitutional representa-
tive government; and sanctioned by the
people, any thing like law and orderis at
an end. If the apportionment bill was
consttutionally passed, then the men at
Columbus who adopted the above men-
toned resolves are clearly traitors to the
Constitution, laws and peace ofOhio. II
the bill was not 50 passed. then the fact
can easily be judicially established, and
the men who. instead of testing the mat
ter by an appeal TO the proper tribunal,
thus summon the people to abrogate the
law, without such an appeal. and block
the wheels Of government, are none the
less revolutionist and traitors.

The empty honor of nomination by the

The fact is that Gen. Cass has never in

actcrized his administration in the war de-
pa rtment, and to which the disastrous anC
expensive war in Florida was entirely ow

LANCASTER, OHIO:
Friday Morning, June 2s. Is4s.
"A Little more Grape, Capt. Bragg.

The sin of federalism, if any there be,
is bound to hang to the skirts of the De-
mocracy during the coming campaign.
1t will be vain to for them to try to evade
it. Their leaders have all been old Fed
eralists, and hence it is that they defend
the unconstitutional stretches of the Exc
tive prerogatives.
Whether these men were truly con-
verted from their political sins,or whether
they turned their coats. merely because
they saw federalism sinking and democ-
racy rising, is matter that we shall leave
to the judgment ofthe people. The sin
ceriiy Of their professions may be judged
from the fact. that they are now endeav
oring TO engraft federal principles into
the democratic creed.
When an individual changes his creed
and asksf,r noreward and hopes forname,
it is but charity to suppose him honest in
his course.
But when men, who for life time have
been seeking place and power, go to bed
at night rank federaists and wake up in
the morning protesting democracy. and
Immediately jump into ia; Office, aP-
pearances it must be confessed are a
gainstthem. And when men, whose whole
course of life has been ON the highway
to power and executive favors, are ready
to barter away their principles, at any
momeni,for political elevation, it certain
ly bears the appearance ofJeceit.
We leave our readers to judge of the
sincerity of the conversions of the indi-
vidual mentioned in the following from
the Daily Neps.
1--WE presume it has not escaped the
observation eff our readers, that all the
prominent candidates for the Presidential
nomination by the Baltimore Convention.
were old Federalists dyed in the wool.
That party calling itself "Democratic,' -
and protesting holy horror for the Fed
eralism fthe olden time. should now set
up as its champions and leaders, the men
who are the very embodiment of that
Federalism, is singularly strange and in
consistent. But then. we are getting
used to political paradoxes, of all sorts
and varieties, and are not unusually dis
turbed by this last one of the series.
Mr.. Buchanan who receives 55 votes
in the Baltimore Convention. was one
of the most bitter and uncompromising
Federaists in Pennsylvania. He oppos-
ed Madison and the war. and as every
scliool-boy knows, went so far in his OPP
positionto to Democracy, as to declare tina,
1rfhe had drop of democratic blood in
his veins, he would let it out" This man
is now profuse in his Professions of De
