TAYLOR SrocK MARkET-Nct only in No
Carolina and the other States that have just
voted is Taylor stock rapidly sinking below
par. The Coons themselves are beginning to
g fess the Corn The New York Courier &
Enqurer-the great organ Of the whg 'de-
cency' of the city of New York-thus dis
courseth -
pLATN TALK FOR LIVE WIGS GIVE C0oNs"
WE SUPPOSE Is MEANT" )-We have few words
Of counsel for the wings, in regard to the great
contest so near at hand. They may not be well
cone they may be deemed impoIitic but we be-
cve them to be true, and they ought therefore to
be heard and needed. Nothing is ever gained by
shutting our eyes 10 facts. 1t may be more agree
able to sleep, in the belief that all is weIi-even
when the enemy is at the door but it is not safe,
and he is false and reacherous sentinel who will
not, or dare not, sound the alarm.
We believe that IN the e1iSting state Of tie
public mind, aUithout efforts on Ike part of the
achss not get put forth, Lewis Cass is almost GER
tain TO be elected President in November next
We are compelled to this belief, most reluctantly,
by what we see and know of the state of public
feeling and the lack OF proper effort Doubt it,
deny it, UiSh it Otherwise we may, the whig
party, especially in the North, is apathetic indif
terent inacfiUe. compared with what it should be,
and with what 1t must be- lift expects to win the
victory.
This is a very different key 10 that upon
which the Courier pitched his voice few
weeks since
The following we clip from the New York
Mirror, the Oldest and staunchest Taylor pa
per in the North -
"WHIGs OF NEW Yonx If you don't want
Lewis Cass for your President, you must 90 to
work. We mean to tell the truth and shame
the devil (and the wings, too, five can,) and we
do not hesitate to say that the whg party of this
city deserve defeat for their apathy"
General Apathy" will be the death OF the
federal party. The truth is, that any little
popularity that Gen. Taylor once possessed, is
rapidly disappearing, dispite all the efforts Of
the leaders. They can't get up the steam.
The following is from the EIyra Courier
the wing organ of Lorain county, Ohio -
"' Ohio oil right We frequently see it sta.
ted in exchange papers, both from abroad and
from portions Of this State, Ohio is all right and
will surely give her vote for Taylor There must
be mistake somewhere. The State may be car
ried for Taylor, but there is a cloud of uncertain
ty about it. In this county, but few Of the wings
will vote for the nominee, ard on the Reserve the
wings will not give majority by several thousand.
Unless, then, there numerous accessions to the
Taylor vote, frcm the democratic ranks in the
southern portions of the State, Taylor loses Ohio.
Politicians who deal in figures may regard this as
correct statement. We are not willing that our
friends Of The Drpss ehoud hplipva that tho rroo+
est unanimity prevails among the wings of Ohio,
when it is fact that there never before was so
much dissatisfaction and boiling, particularly in
the northern portion Of the State"
Now this is very cheering news for the
whiggies. If their own papers can't conceal
their fears, the prospect must be poor indeed

of the g same sort'' left.
