1.-THE United States from the 4th Of March,
lS45, until bis resignation, amounting 10
some eight or ten thousand dollars more,
because preferred to cOnfue the exami-
nation to the patronage which he enjoyed
under the federal government
In exploring the lahyrinlbs OF official
darkness, in which all his evidence Of
political favorilism is concealed, STUN
bled upon one striking fact, singularly
applicable to The present state OF affairs,
and calculated TO mark the contrast be-
tween the candidates for the Presidency
to draw the true distinction between
the characters oftbe men.
One Of The documents from which |
have cited: No. 6, 9th Congress Sd Ses-
sion-wasc ompiled under a resolution OF
theHouse Of Reps passed on the 2Slh of
| February, 1874, from which ! make the
following extract: "and also that the See
cretary Of War report 10 the House the
names of such officers of the War De-
lpariment aud of the Army, including
IPaymasters and Governors ofTerritories,
who have received extra allowance, the
lime when received, the amount of extra
allowance paid to each, the services for
which the extra allowance was claimed,
and the authority under which it was
made"
After forty years Of service in the ara
my-after all his gallant achievements
after all The responsibilities which he had
to assume, there is not me cent of"extra"
allowance charged in the accounts of
|, Zachary Taylor. All thathe ever receiy-
, ed from the Government were his pay
| and his raiiOns. shall not insult the
intelligence of the American people by
Y contrasting the services Of Taylor and
Cass. The glory and lustre which the
I first has shed over our history, will sur
vive with the existence Of free institu-
, lions, while the shattered sword" (his
greatest military exploit) ofthe other will
r hardly endure throug h the eIectioneering
y campaign.
I The attitude which these two cham-
e pions of their respective palties now oc-
: cupy before the country makes comment
}, unnecessary. for one, am willing TO
!. submit the merits of the case to the great
!. ljnry of public opinion upon the facts and
s without a syllable of argument.
1t was this wholesale system of fraud
n upon the Treasury, of official peculation
c under convenient disguises of abuse of
# power aud of political corruption, that
= induced the Wing Congress of lS42 Ia
IS enact law, prohibiting these allowances
n for alleged ertra sercices, and declaring
v that no officer Of the Government, who
e temporarily discharged the duty of an
| other officer, should receive more than
D. a single salary That law has saved
10 millions to the Government, and if there
ID was no other reason why it should have
u been adopted, the extraordinary favorit
,e ism exhibited towards Gen. Cass furnish
es ed sufficient warrant for abolishing sys
nr tenn exposed to so many temptations, ant
or obnoxious to such just imputaiiUu.

It was very easy for our locOioco brethren 10 ex-
Taylor; bur since his nomination, they find it
much more difficult to induce tue honest men of
their party to forsake their first love, aud hence
is that the lash is applied in vain. They could
not expect anything else, when their Conventions
prior to his nomination, would tell the truth in
tile manner following
A l.ocoioco meeting, in Lafayette, N, j., adopt
ed an address, of which the following is an extract:
owe have the highest assurances that,
Whate0er new questions mag arise, Gen.
Taylor, if elected President, will always
consult the good of the people; that his
habits, his mode of living, and nls pRTN
cTPLEs attach him 10 Tie masses; and THAT
he is indissolubIy connected with the great
party of the country. His frmness-his
decision of character--his successful
management of men-his splendid ach-
ievements on the field of battle his brief
and finished despatches--aH Indicate IN
tellectual faculties 9fMe highest order,
and seem to pant him Out as a person ,oell
fitted to take tie helm Of STATE. We

AND READY, AND PRESENT To THEG5g' DE-
MOCRACYl! OF THE STATE AND Ma.
TIoN GEN ZACHARY TAYLOR AS OUR FA-
VORlTE CANDIDATE FOR THE PRES
IDENCY.
At meeting of the same party in
Warren Co., N. l., about the same time,
the following, among other resolutions,
was adopted:
"ResolUcd, That with full reliance on
the ABILITY, INTEGRITY VIRTUE, and PA
TRIoTIsM of Gen. Zachary Taylor, and

Such was the opinion of the mass of the Dem
ocratc party of General Taylor, prior to his nom
inaion. The mere fact of his nomination cou
not change the man, and when the stumpers an
presses of the same party now vilify and slande
the old General, point them to the above resolu
, tion and address and ask them what has char
ged their opinion7 We are inclined to beiev
I that the answer will be, not contrary to III
opinion above expressed, but against the indiviC

institutions of Slavery as it exists in some
of our sister States, we do, nevertheless
earnestly and sOlemnly protest against He
EXTENSION OF SLAVERY into any part OF
this country where it does not now exist;
and we cannot but regard every attempt
at such extension as dangerous to the
peace aud stability Of this Union. En-
tertaining these views, we hold it to be
the duty of our Representatives in Con-
gress and the State Legislature, by their
influence and their votes, firmly to resist
every attempt to extend slavery into any
territory now free.
Resolord, That we hail the nomination
of SEABURY FORD, by the Wing State
Convention, as a candidate for Governor
of Ohio, with sincere qualification; and
will use our best efforts to secure his
election.
ResOlved, Thatthe apportionment bill,
passed by the Legislature, at their late
session is constitutional, right and just
and that we cordially approve of the

~T The Newark Advertiser (LOcofo.
ca) says:
"Mr. Buchanan was our favorite for
President; but we shall vote for Mr.. Cass
becuse he is the only Democratic candi-
date that is, or will be. in the field; be-
cause he is in favor of Free Trade and
the Constitutional Treasury, and because
he is in favor of Tearing the question of
slavery upon any territory we may here
after acquire. to the people who may oc-
cupy that territory. However desirable
| it is that Congress should inierdict sla-
very upon territory while it is under their
control, yet we thiuk that the harmony
ofthe States aud the preservation of the
Union require that the question should be
an open one"

cealments to make. We admire its cam
dor!
