GEN. TAYLOR AND THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE. The
following is extract from OF Gen. Iaylors ear
liest letters - .-.
81 have never vet exercised the privilege of voting
but had been called upon at the last presidential ell
ection to do so should most certainly have cast my
vote for Henry Clay"
We desire the reader, says the Philadelphia Penn
syvanian to mark the phrase of General Taylor him
SELF haze never exercised the TriUiIege Of Uoting
We desire him to mark and to ponder 1t well. 1t
cannot fail to reflections OF the most exciting
character. This very sentence Is startling admls-
sion of Gen. Taylors incapacity. 1t is the alb
solute and unanswerable proof of his confession
of unftness. 1t indicates concluslvely and over
whemingly, that all his feelings have been aVerse to
those pursuits which alone qualify man tor the
highest of civil positions.
But it does more. This extraordinary admission
of Gen. Taylor proves that he has shown during his
whole life, by his neglect of the dearest right of free
men, that he places value upon that invaluable
gift which pre-eminenty distinguishes the American
citizen throughout the world. Gen. Taylor is rapid
lily approaching his sixteth year. During his long
life his country has passed through many eventful
scene Her liberties have been threatened more than
once, in that PERIOD by the internal, we'll the
external foe Her authorities have been repeatedly
called before the bar of public opinion there
swer their countrymen. Sometimes they have ask
ed the countenance and encouragement of the people
through the ballot boxes, and again they have met
their severest condemnation During all these times
of trial and of peril General Taylor coldy refused to
vote for his country Up to the period of time when
the letter. of which the above is an extract was writ
ten he never voted at all! Indifferent in all these
irving moments he has shown, by his neglect OF the
right of suffrage, his indifference to his country in
time of peace, his ignorance of her institutions,
and his utter disbelief in the blessings which his fel
low citizens enjoy.
We venture to say that General Taylor is the only
man living in this country, of his age, who having
the right to vote, has voted at all. Such a
man would be political curiosity in any part of this
great country.
And yet the people called upon to vote for a
man who has never voted himself! -...

= TRIUMPH IN BALTIMORE

The Democrats of Baltimore have achieved bril-
liant triumph On the instant they elected their
nominee for Sheriff over all opposition. The Balt-

the several wards for the purpose of choosing from
among the various candidates, person to fill the re-
sponsible Office of sheriff for Baltimore city for the
ensuing three years. e .
the regular democratic nominee The whigs made
no nomination, but pretty generally concentrated upon
Mr. Clouds principal competitor, Col. George p.
Kane. Mr. Mitchell, the third highest candidate, is
democrat, and Messrs. Hance and Shut are wings.
The following is the vote for each of the candi-
dates in the several wards, from which it will be
seen that Charles F. Cloud, Esq. is elected by a
majority of l67 votes over Col. Kane. 20 ~ -

The New York Express of tire Goth of Ioss month.
in its notice of the Taylor and Fillmore Meeting In

Austin, of Louisiana:
AT the third stand, there band of music
songs and good speeches. One from Mr.. Romaine,
of Ulster and another from Mr.. Austin, OF Louisiana
the friend and reighbOr Of General Taylor, which we
heard, were full of good sense and good temper.
Mr.. Austin spoke upon the question of Free Soil and
Protection with painness simplicity, and force that
carried conviction to all. He knew General Taylor
10 be Wing, moderate but determined,-a Wing In
favor of Protection and of Reform,-Reform OF the
Currency, of the present Tariff and of all the abuses
of Government. Upon the Free Soil question, Lou
iiana would abide by the will of the majority, what
ever the result. And she would do nothing, and Cen
Taylor ,OouH do nothing, to carry sdrcry into free
territOry." g..

President, veto the Wilmot Proviso.A10 There 1t
is, in plain language; and now, what say North

New JERSEY. The Harrisburg Union says: 1t
is estimated that the Free Soil party in New Jersey
will poll about 5000 votes. The large Quaker IN

and as they always vote the Wing ticket it is fair to
presume that the Democracy will carry this State In
November. Be of good cheer, fellow Democrats

GOOD NEws FRoM ,GEoRG1a, !,

On Monday the I'd instant, the people of Georgia
voted for eight members of Congress. Calculations
Were made by the Wings in that State, and in other
quarters, that Gen. Taylors popularity would sweep
every thing before it but they have been grievousy
disappointed. Inls47: Mr.. Towns, the present Gov
ernor, and Democrat, carried the State by 1889
majority; and in thiry-four Counties heard from in
the present election, says the Savannah Georgian the
clear Democratic gain this vote is I2I. 80
The Washington Union of Saturday last, contains
the following Telegaphic despatch: = -s.;
"We received the following bulletin by telegraph
yesterday, from which it would appear that we have
carried four members OF Congress- and that the PoPu-
lar vote is estimated to be nearly the same for the de-
mocracy as the vote for Towns for governor last
year. All the accounts show that Georgia is perfect
ly safe for Cass and Butler: 49, - ..1. -.-..5.
MACON, (Ga..) October Go, pm.
Four democratic congressman elected-Hackett,
Haralson, Wellborn, and Cobb. Popular vote de-
mocratic by one thousand or twelve hundred.
Another despatch received at 10 p. M, fully con-
hrms the election of the four democratic congress
men,"
We are indebted to the politeness of the Editor
the Charleston Mercury for despatch one day later
than the above, follows:
"CHARLEsToN, Oct 7, 6 P. M.
Four Democrats and four Wings elected to Con-
gress. Democratic majority in the popular vote I3OO

STILL LATER. A Telegraphic despatch from Au-
gusta, Georgia, dated October the 9th, confirms the
above cheering intelligence. The Democrats of Geor-
gia have made glorious fight. The State is good
for Cass and Butler, by at least 1900 majority.
Florida voted on the same day for Governor and a
member of Congress. We have news from that
State.
On yesterday the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio

GEN. TAYLoR's NORTHERN PLATFORM

Hear what the Reverend Mr.. Lamb says in regard
to Gen. Taylors opinions of slavery. This pious d-
vine was the Generals army chaplain, and was in
daily intercourse with him for the period of six years.
These sentiments, attributed to Gen. Taylor, have
been circulated time after time in all the Northern
prints that advocate his claims the Presidency
they have doubtless been repeatedly brought his
notice yet they stand uncontradicted by him, and
must therefore meet his approval, why his express
sve silence! Indeed, this standing mute the part
of General Taylor is affirmative pregnant, and if
he was charged with the highest offence known to
the laws, and remained SILENT it would be taken as
evidence conclusive of his guilt before the highest
court of criminal jurisprudence in the land. Mr..
Lamb says:
"I never heard word from the General in favor
of the slave system, but the contrary, his decided
preference for the Institutions and customs of the
North.'
"It is pity that General Taylor should be made
out pro-slavery man because his government keeps
him at the South, or for the wrong of allowing his
banks of the Connecticut. We are allowed to hang
upon inference"
81 assure you that, if elected, he will do more for
peace and EMANCIPATION than any Northern man
would be allowed to do.'
But the evidence does not stop here. A cores
pondent Of the Mobile Herald, (Whig,) writing a
lew weeks since from Pascagoula, where Gen. Tay-
or was then staying, and who proessed to give his
conversations political topics, thus speaks of him
He does not hesitate to pronounce slavery evil,
and bighting in its effects the agricultural and
commercial prosperity of the South. To this he at
tributed the decay of PIrginiG, and he thought it
would extend 20 the other slave Safes -
Thomas Corwin, from the stump, in Clinton coun-
ty, Ohio, holds the following language:
=" Gen, Taylor is ultra a6oHtiOnst, opposed TO the
extension Of srery, and the only why the Gen
eral he's not said so himself, is merely because he
never had opportunity-that the question was not
agitated when he wrote his Allison letter; but he
(Mr c. had learned from other sources, from prirase
letters which had not been published, and from Gen.
Taylors most intimate friends in the South, that he
(Gen. To is with the North on that question:
Secretary Of the Treasury, in speech to large mass
meeting at Pittsburg, says of him: " Gen. Taylor,
were he to veto bill prohibiting the extension OF
slavery, would be false to The ost solemn pledges. He
will not do it-he cannot-dare not"'

soil seemed more like the work of powerful
steam engine than of animal power. The first
yoke cut furrow sixteen inches in depth The
next yoke followed with the sub-soi plough in
the same furrow, cutting and loosening the earth
sixteen inches below the first furrow The Pro-
lessor says deep ploughing is very important for
large crops. Some Of his poughing is thrty-six
inches deep, His system of preparing and APP
plying manures is scientific and important, and
Judging from present appearances, he will pro-
ducc remarkable results The science of sue
cession of crops in the season, without impover,
ishing the soil is of vast Importance. The Pro
fessor SAYS that from a single acre he shall take
off this season eight hundred bushels of potatoes
three thousand five hundred cabbages, and six
hundred bushels of turnlps; which must be worth
five or six hundred dollars at the lowest market
prices. His crop of cabbages this season he cal
culates at eighty thousand heads. He has a new
variety of potato, Of which he expects to raise
this season eighteen hundred bushels which will
be disposed of for seed at one dollar bushel--
He calculates that he will have hundred and
twenty thousand nutmeg melons for market this
season, which certainly ought to average two cts
piece, and, at that price, they would yield TWEEN
ty-four hundred dollars There is on the farm
great variety of other vegetables and crops to
which make no reference.
Unlike most farmers, he does not leave a strip
of waste land along by the side of his fences, but
cultivates every inch snug to the fence. Against
each post in the fence he sets out fruit tree and
midway between the posts grape vine, which,
as it runs and spreads. will rest on the fence
In this way he will soon have three miles of grape
vines and fruit trees on ground which ordinary
farmers would let run to waste. He uses his
farm like great machine of wonderful powers,
if properly and scientifically handled, lie en-
ploys upon it about twenty hands, but says in a
high state Of cultivation it woui give employment
to eighty.
Goldsmith says, in that sweet poem, the "De-
serted Village
"a time there was ere England's gricfs began,
When every rood of ground maintlined his man."
But think Professor Napes is in fair way o.
proving that in this country rood of ground
may be made to maintain quite number OF men
and hope he will do much to convince our farm
ers that scientific farming is of more Importance
to them than great numbers of acres
