' NR, LINCOLN ON THR MEXICAN WAR.
'But as Gen. Taylor is, par excellence the
hero Of the Mexican war; and, as you DEM
oerats say We Wings have always opposed
the war, you think il must be very awkward
and embarrassing for usto 90 for Gen. Taylor
The declaration that tss haze a5l0gys opposed

habitRnts away, leaving their growing crops
and other property to destruction, TO yeg may
appear a perfectly amiable, peaceful, unpFo-
vOking prOcedurei but it does not appear so
to US. So to call such an act, to US appears
no other than a naked, impudent absurdity,
and we speak of it accordingly. But If aVhsH

ions YOU HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD
DUB VOTES HERE FOR ALL THE NE
CESSARY SUPPLIES And more than
this you have had the services, the blood and
the lives Of our political brethren in every
trial, and on every field, the beardless boy
and the mature mar-the humble and the
distinguished you have had them. Through
suffering and death, by disease, and in battle
they have endured, and fought, and fell With
you. Clay and Webster each gave son
never to be returned From the State of
my own residence besides other worthy
but less known Wing names, we sent Marshall
Morrison, Baker and Hardin; they all fought
and one fell, and in the 1iall Of that one, we
lost our best Wing man. Nor were the Whigs
few in number, OF laggard in the day Of dan
ger. In that fearful, bloody, breathless strug-
gle at BuenR Vista, where each mans hard
task was to beat back FIVE foes or die him
self of the FIVE high officers who perished,
four wele Wings. -''e "a
In speaking of this l mean no OdiOus COM
parisons between the hon-hearted Wings and
Democrats who fought there. = wish
to do Justice TO al, think of all those brave
men as Americans, in whose proud fame, as
an American, l too have a stand. Many1o of
them Wings and Democrats, are my constitu-
ents, and personal friends; and thank them
more than thank them once and all, for the
high imperishable honor they have con-
fkrfed on our Common State IG- gTF1
The Democrats are kind enough to frequent
Iy remind Us that We have some dis
sensions in our ranks. Some sneh
zoe certainly have; hAYeyou none, gentlemen
Democrats Is It all union and harmony in
your ranks2 No chickering's No divisions
If there be doubt as to which of our divisions
viii get our candidate, is there no doubt as to
which Of your candidates will get yourparty ?
have heard some things from New York,
and if they are true, we might well say of
your party that as drunken fellow once
said when he heardthe reading OF an iAdict-
ment for hog stealing. The clerk read on
till he got to and through the words q did
steal, take and carry away ten boars, ten
sOws, ten shoats, ten pigs, at which he ex-
claimed, swell, by golly, that is the most
equally divided gang of hogs, 1 ever heard
Of" Ifthereis any gang hogs more equal
" divided than the Democrats of New York
are about tais time, l have not heard Of it. I"
~ wish that our Democratic friends would
turn to the spoken record Of Mr.. Lincoln,
during his Congressional Life ndseek to find
any thing against him. In Congress and
out-iR public and in private, be is the same
honest, independent out7spoken, truthful
man. '''''" ,- % 5-iH I.H
The Bell and Everett "dough-faces" in this
State are running the thing into the mud,
and are not only playing false to honest John
Bell, and the accomplished Everett, but are
dlsgracing what little Of manhood they have
left in themselves. A man has a perfect right
to support any candidate, but let him do II
in an open, manly way let him put up bis
colors and then 6 gilt under them But to put
up false cOlors isoniy pirstieal. d. ''.a. aia
The Hon. L. NJ. Keitt, of S. C., has issued
his manifesto. He isthe clown of the polit-
icaI circus, and performs toithe great delight
of the spectators, One would infer from
reading his schaste and beautiful, epistle, thai
he is compound ofthe hyena, jackass, ant
wildcat. he sneers at AaRAHAM LINCOLN
So may an owl hoOt at the Eagle donkey
bray at q blooded racer. He filings his filtl
at CHARIEs lSUllNER-when the accomplish
ed, eloquent and .irreproachabie Sumner, il
as much superior to Lawrence M Keitt, a
Washington was to a bushman of Africa
Keitt has the manners of slaye-driyer-ant
the instincts of an assassin-for he instiga
ted and accompanied the unfortunate Brooks
in his assault upon Mr. Sumner. He is no
worth the hempit would take to hang him.
he is not only a disgrace to Congress-to hi
State but to the common brotherhood G
man. s5.a'I
The South should speE. out such creatures
They do not represent the people of the SOut
if they do, heaven pity them.
