What do lI,ey ,vant.

Scarcely small fry of Taylor Speak CT, can make an effort. without alluding to the monstrosity of the tone man pow CT" as they term the usage of the veto
 power. What are they alter we .askl Do they make the veto power given to the President by the Constitution an issue Do they want the veto power stricken from the Constitution? If such is the case, the Democratic party will meet them on that question. What else, in the name of common sense, can they want2 As long as the present constitution stands. so long will the veto power stand. And if they wish to tamper with the Coustitu- ton, and have it altered in such man. ner as suits one faction regardless of the rights of any other, why do they not come out in open day light and let their wishes be known, No, they dare not put such nonsense to the people They would then be hooted at with greater indignation than they are at this time. These petty at tempts of the whig stumpers are properly weighed by the people, and their designs will be most wofllly knocked into cock ed hat in November, by the old steardy and "Rough' yeoman of the country.

The Chances for Class.

A letter writer in the Charleston Cour- fer remarks: "Mr. Foote, on the Oregon Bill, when much excited at Mr. Benton's treason, was heard to exclaim that he had that night sealed the fate of Cass-for, said he, l have seen letter rom Gener- al Taylor to friend and which will be made public, that he rould ueto the IVa- mot Proriso. We have now the authori- ty of Southern Senator and Cass De- mccrat, that Taylor will veto the Wilmot Proviso.
 We have the authority of Wcstcott, an. other Senator who though having no con iidence in Cass, bows in humble submis- sion to the dccrees of the Baltimore Con- vention, that the declaration of Houston and Benton must annihilate Cass's pros- poets al tho South"
 A more base felsehood never was utter ed by any wretch who paid the just debl to the gallows than is the above. The scribler who penned it first knew that il was yillianous production, and so die theired headed5 ankeos in Montgomery who have herald it forth to Southern people iil a second edition. Gen. Foote, it is wei known never made use of any such langu age, nor ever has Gen. Taylor dare write a letter in which he pledged himself tc veto the IVilmot Prouiso. He dare no make such pledge, and his friends dare not make that pledge for him, for it would be the complete slayer of his prospects a mong the Northern whigs, who are sup porting him with the hope and understand ing that he will sanction any action of { Wilmot Proviso congress. These import ed yankees are determined, if they can to lie Gen. Taylor into tic presidency,ianc the above is fair specimen of their at tempts.

More Manufacturing enterprise

Messrs. Morris & Bradford, we learn arc erecting stupendous establishment on Socopatoy creek, one mile from Soco- patoy, in coosa county, tor the purpose oI manufacturing. The building, we learn, is near completed, four stories high, and of Rock. The most splendid water power is given at this point, and we are confident will yield handsome profit to its enterprising projectors. Thus have we another proof of the necessity for the investment of capital in manufacturing in this section of the country. In almost eve ry section of Alabama we are pleased to notice thls kind of investments.

by National Convention, they secured his election to the Chief Magistracy and now they cannot be excited to further pre- sent effort, except by the prospect of dan ger. Show them an enemy--slrow them where the Old Hero is in danger-and there will follow such srally as the people only can make. We like not this apathy it is true but VIC fear no evil results from it. Every where the people are yigilcnt, looking out for opponents but they find them not, and care not to spend their energies upon mere shadows. Even we can find but little food for our Grape-Shot. Those who have dared to assail the peo- ple's candidate, shrink back into their holes in silence and for the present at least, there are indications that the whole election will be permitted to go by default --old Zack walking over the course.
 Know that this is "all in me eye," but by the bragging and down right lieing of just such sheets as this, they hope to suc- ceed in ''pulling wool" over the eyes of the people, and get to office as they did in 1640.

Gen. TayIor's Qualifications.

The Trenton Daily News thus sums mp Gen. Taylor's qualifications for the Presi. dency: A
 "He has no qualifications strictly civil.
 He never voted.
 He never held civil office.
 He never made or helped to make law.
 He never negotiated a treaty.
 He conlesses his inability to decide con- stitutional questions. ssnst,.a
 He has never made the laws of nations his study. HE aAtI
 His rules of government are all derived from his slave plantation, or from the army. ac1 t.Ea 4t5sr.st
 If in these can be found equal qualifica- tions for the ruler of 2l millions of free. men, and the most powerful nation in tho world, then has human nature changed.-- Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, the younger Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler and Polk were all civilians. It is true, three of them united herewith the requisits of good soldiers and able generals, but, it was not their military qualifications which fitted them for the office of President, any more than the bravery of every soldier of Buena Vista fitted him to be a good doc- tor." &1 sf8

New Manufacturing enterprise

We learn that manufacturing compa' ny has been formed in the neighbourhood of Vernon, AuIauga county, for the pur. pose of establishing an extensive manu. featuring on Swift creek, near the famous Mills of Col w. E. Pickett. We are pleased to hear of this enterprise, and would be more so to hear of others in Autauga, as we are confident there is nc county in Alabama that affords greater natural facilities for the perfection oflnan- nfacturing than docs Autauga. The best of streams are to be found in every sec tion of the county. Now that the com bination of foreign Stockholders have monopolised and stagnated--and dcpreci- -ated the price of Cotton, while cotton manuiacturies continue high, we are con fident that capitalists will readily invest in this useful and profitable branch of indus try. But few years ago, the noted man diacturing company of Pratville was cs- tablishcd, and we learn it is now paying over 25 percent. This we'should think is proof of the advantage and profit aris- ing from Southern manufacturing.

Ata recent Mass Meeting at Warrenton

At recent Mass Meeting at Warrenton Springs, Fauquier county, Virginia, MT. Brent made most happy and amusing speech, and concluded with the following capital hit in illustration of the whig tac- tics in 1s4O and ls4S. In 184O they had deceived the people, and why should they not do it again in l645? They re- minded him of the old woman who had lost her husband, who was drowned, and, in the midst of her lamentation, the news was brought to her that the river had been dragged, and the body of her venera- ble companion found in the mud, couered ouer acith fishes. The old lady wiped the tears of distress, and quaintly remarked. 'that they had better sct he old man again 2 So with the whigs, who in le40 had done so well with their 'sno- party" "no principles" trap, that they had resolved to "Set the old man agdur!" fsv

Bragg is always tl,e game.

Previous to any election the whigs al- ways tune to their profession, commrnce bragging, and to believe what they say, one would be lead to think that the Demo- crats stood no chance for success. Dur. ing tho canyass o: lS44, this game was attempted, and as specimen we take inc following from the Tuscaloosa Monitor ConGdence of the Whigs.-As the elec- ton for ls44 approaches. the whigs see their cause gaining strength daily. From the evidence of public opinion, of late, in very interesting quarters, the contest will merely be nominal. MT. Clay will not be permitted to walk over the course alone; but he or they that may engage as rivals in the race, will be so badly distanc. ed as never to be fit for the presidential turf again. Tho already broken down, string halted and spanvined poney of Linden wald, will never be able to strike gal lop. The fine melted courscr of Fort lIIlJ may dash off at the tap of the drum, and by his superb action, threaten to perform wonders but his rider, Free Trade, with divers weights in his pocket, will break him down the first quater.
 Thus will the nations favorlte, noble Harry of the West, take the prize. The first office will be filled by statesman. long tried and never found wanting. So plain are the signs of success to the whigs, that they almost lose sight of their own candidate, in looking at the battle among the Democrats, who have filed off in twc grand divisions to brow-beat or slay each other. Until this feud is settled, the whigs are at a loss for a target to keep them selves in practice on. The safest way is perhaps to fire alternately at Lindenwald and at Fort Hill. Let either sage pop out on Baltimore stilts and the whigs will trip him up before he can reconnoitre their position. There is moral grandeur in the unanimity of the whigs in relation to their candidate. They see but one man who so far towers above all others in the great qualities of chief magistrate, that they appear as inferior lights revolving round central luminary. That man is Henry Clay, from whom the people ex- pect prosperous administration of the Government; nor will they expect in vain."
 What was the result of the election of ls44? The Democrats carried the day by an overwhelming vote, as every Whig can testify.
 This kind ot fudge is again poked at the people, and as an instance of it we take the following from an abolition paper printed in the city of New York; "The Grape Shot," which if we are not mistak- cn has been circulated extensively in this region. It says ''The people the whigs have resolved that Zachary Taylor shall be the next President of the United States and having insisted upon. and secured his nomination by tho Whig National Convention, and confident of their own strength, they consider the bat tic already fought and won. In their hearts he is already elected. They felt assured, that iu securing his nomination

Philadelphia Convention
 EcIiDsed.

We take the following correspondence from the Charleston Mercury, which we think eclipses the nomination of the Phla. delphia Convention clearly. The meeting passed Democratic resolutions, and "Old Zack' accepts the nomination. What can men who are honest in their political sentiments, whigs, say to this? Men who have no feelings or groveling for popular fly, and support Gen. Taylor, on the grounds alone of his being whig, think of this condescending and rediculous course of man who is seeking the office of Pre- sident of the United Statesl Never since the formation of our Government has any man shown so much egotsm and duplic. ty for the sake of gaining popular favor as Gen. Taylor. There is not school boy of l5 but would have shown more independence in connection with this station than has Gen. Taylor. Lost to all sense of honor or propriety, he cares not what course is pursued to enable him to fulfil his vanity, out with'such party and such candidate:

O., held for the purpose of select ing you as their candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States. Over this meeting the agreeable duty of presiding was assigned to me. The Preamble and Resolutions adopted at it so fully explain the views of my fellow citizens as to need not comment from me. Permit me, how ever, on my part to add, that with confi- dence in that honesty and independence of purpose, which you have exhibited in eve- ry position in which it has been your lot to serve your country, I entertain the fullest conviction, that, should it be our good for. tune to see you elecfed to that high sta- tion, you will so administer the laws of our country, that each section of it will be protected in the rights which it was inten- 'ded by the framers of the Constitution should be guarantied to all, by that noble instrument, which can only prove made quate when it is perverted by designing or misguided politicians. 6

n#- The whigs in the present canvass present full view of general "wool- pulling" over the eyes of the people. You may hear of a solitary voice away off in some dark corner, diliniating, to the ef, feet that all party lines are forgotten, and they go for "OlJ Zack" because he is a no party candidate. Then again you will see more enlightened member claim his triumphant election because he is good whig. Wonder which should be beleav- ed? One claims Old Zack as a no party man, and the other claims him as good whig. Wool is surely over the eye of one or the other--some one is to be de. ceivcd, and which can it be

 And vowed New Orleans to subdue, Its ''booiy and its beauty" too,
 Butler with General Jackson fought. The foe in his own meshes caught, And made him find a bloody grave, Beside the Mississippis wave:
