Price 10 cents per copy. C0"The Democratic meeting at the Stafo House square on Saturdiy Inst was a very plea?ant one to those of the true faith at least. Though the notice was short and the hour fixed bad, yet there were more than twice as m uiy p?runs present as attended the Whig ratification meeting at the court house. If Mr. Defrees had attended that meeting, he would not j feel like talking about the absence of zeal at this. Joseph A. Wright, of Parke county, made a most excellent epeech, which was listened to with frequent manifestation of jr ratification bv the Democrats, audi ! some slight symptrra ,f squirming by those who! assume to be the Whig leaders. The Journal men appeared to be very uncomfortable while Mr. Wright va fhuwing up their inconsistency, and their unfounded slanders a:d abuse of Gen. Cas. They looked as if they f.-h heartily ashamed of their conduct, for the time b-ing. We have no doubt, however, that they will continue in their flagitious course. It is the only poli'ical capital they have left, since they helped to kill otF their great embodiment." Mr. Wright va followed by Gov. Whitcotnb, who addressed the audierue with his accustomed ability. ' After short addreses from Capt. Simonson and Dr. j Ritchey, the meeting broke up at a late hour of the J day. We are quite pure, that if the game feeling and j spirit pervades our f. iends generally, as was evinced at thiä meeting, we shall carry this Slate for Cass ! and Puller by ten thousand majority. j '. i 03"Thcre are a few persons hereabouts, and the ' editor of the Journal is among the number, who have j the brass to say that Gen. Taylor has done no injustice to Indiana. This assertion is false, s every person well knows who knows anything at all about the facts. Wu think it proper to give further publicity to a fact mcii.ioned by Air. Wright in hie speech on Saturduy hiet. Every Indianian should! know it. It was tlws: Soon after the battle of Eueni Vista, a circus company was performing at St. Louis, and as is very common, the flags of the J several States were displayed. The flag of Maine went round amid cheers. New Hampshire, Massa-j chusetts, New York, &c. &:c. also passed round with veneration and respect. But when the ilag of Indiana came, it was greeted with two thousand hisses! Would n't your cheek have burned with shame and indignation if you had been there, reader ? We think it would, unless you are dead to every emotion of pride fur your State, or regard for her honor. Who but Gen. Taylor has caused Indiana to be odius and a by-word 1 He js the very man ; and not only Las he thus slandered us for all time to come, but he tui repeated it over and over again! How any Indian. tn v.an vote f r Taylor and pretend to be an hc::oril.e. 'nan, we d not tee. We thought so ! It seems that we were right in making pome allowance for the Telegraphic report, published in our last, to the effect that Mr. Van Buren had willingly accepted the nomination of the Utica, Convention, an their candidate for the Presidency. According to a similar despatch, which ia published in the Cincinnati Gazette, (whig,) Mr. Van Buren "expressed his desire to remain in private life. No such intimation is given in the despatch sent upon the Indiana line from Dayton. That simply said that Mr. V. IL approved of the course of the Barnburners, and that he had (as a consequence, of course) been nominated by them. We believe that all the news east cf Dayton, sent upon this line, is transmitted by the ditora of the Dayton Journal, a very zealous whig concern. They of course have a chance of modifying the news to suit themselves and the whig party. Whether they intend to do thu systematically, we know not ; but we do know, that the Telegraph will not bring us many false statements before its credit will be lost entirely. OAttention is directed to the advertisement of Gntlmg's Patent rights for the Improved Wheat Drill and Double Acting Hemp and Flax Brake. Perhaps nothing could better manifest the value of these articlea than the fact, of which we are informed, that the Patentee has sold rights within the past three weeks, to the amount of six thousand dollars. We are half inclined to go into the business ourselves ; but just now we are engaged in helping ßax out Taylorisrn. That accomplished, we are sure the demand for wheat drills will be doubly enhanced, to aid in supplying the glorious market for wheat which we shall be sure to have under a democratic administration. Hurrah for Cass ! j

Montgomery County. A Mass Meeting of the Democracy was held at Crawfordsville on Monday, June 19th. The meeting was organized by calling Henrt Lee to the chair. Will iam H. Heath and Henry Crawford acted as Vice Presidents. D. C. Stover and W. A. Johnston were appointed Secretaries. David T. Nicholson, and Henry T.,Snook, Esqs., were nominated for Representatives. Resolutions were passed approving the nomination of Cass and Buller, &c, among which, the following : Resolved, That the Democracy of old Montgomery, with "Union, harmony, and concession,1 for our rootto, and urged on by a strong desire to promote, continue and perpetuate the spread of liberal principles and an enlightened policy at home and abroad we are determined in the contest of 1819 to gain the proud appellation of the ' Banner County.' The Review says "The whole proceedings were characterized by the utmost harmony and good feeling. The nominations were confirmed by acclamation. Everything looks bright and auspicious before us; and it needs but a continuation of that spirit of harmony manifested on Monday to elect our candidates by handsome majorities." Even the Whig Tomahawk admits that the meeting was a glorious one, as follows: The County Convention of our Locofoco neighbors was a large, well ordered, and respectable gathering. With banner flying, and drums beating, they formed into procession and paraded our principal streets. In "Dunn's Grove" they "were organized, nominated candidates, passed spirited resolutions, and listened to what we would term very excellent Locofoco speeches." Hurrah for Montgomery ! Union County. Great Democratic Meeting at Liberty. The Democrats of Union county, held a tremendous meeting on the 17th of June, to respond to the nominations of the Baltimore Convention. James Oseorn, Esq. presided, assisted by Henrt Rider and John Nelson, Esqs., and Joshua Leech and William Hewit, Esqs., as Secretaries. An address, exemplifying the great and distinctive features of democratic doctrines, together with a series of resolutions, were reported by John S. Reid, Esq., chairman of the committee appointed for that purpose, which were adopted. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Test, one of the Democratic electors, and by Air. Woodbury of Fayette county. We should copy the report of proceedings, as requested, but it is impossible for us to do so at present. Patent Retort. Our thanks are due to Hon. Edmund Burke, the very able and indefatigable Commissioner of the U. S. Patent Oflice, for a copy of his report. This report we consider one of the very best issued from that office. Did our space permit we should be pleased to make copious extracts from it. The attention of Congress is energetically culled as has been several timed before been done by the Commissioner, to the absolute wants of the Oilice. We can say to Congress, that if the members have not read that report, (and from the negligence in the tnalter, we should suppose they had not,) that it is better for them to do so at once. It is a document. wortli ten thousand times more to every section of our country than all the political speeches for Buncombe ever made in that body ; and one half spent for such documents ns the latter would not be a tithe of good effect to individuals as clectiontering efforts, to the amount expended in Rich valuable information. Let Congress see that an otlice which more than supports itself; which is the able advocate and assistant of every branch of industry, genius, scienco and art, is not allowed to suffer through neglect.

Meanness. And we might call it Meanness double-distilled." Some person or persons have two or three times of late, torn up by the roots, the locust shade trees set out by Dr. Acklcy, in front of his residence on Tennessee stieet. Those who would commit such an act, are not only cowards, but they lack only the opportunity of committing greater crimes. The spite against the Doctor is probably on account of his peculiar notions as a Liberty man, and the action of the Liberty Convention; and as in that Convention, the whigs were a little worse belabored for their hypocrisy than wete the democrats for their consistency, we must consider that it was done by members of the whig party, who take this method of testifying their enthusiasm for "Old Zack," the owner of two hundred souls. That the consistent portion of the whigs would be guilty of such scoundrelisrn, we cannot for a moment believe. And as they, as well as ourselves, have the interest and beauty of our city at heart, we respectfully ask them to aid the authorities in ferrettiug out all such midnight destructionists. 07-ÄIiLTON Stait, a well known beauty among the whig politicians of this state, and who has done as much to involve it in disgrace and ruin as any other live man, is out with a letter in the Madison Banner, endorsing Gen. Taylor. Wc imagine the Hoosiers have had enough of Stapp's endorsemtnts. Among otlnr humbugs, Stapp speaks of a debt of ' one hundred and lifty millions of dollars, brought upon us by locofoco rule." Jo. Marshall, the other day, put it in his speech at one hundred millions. That was a stretcher, big enough, we should think for the gullet cf the most gullible whig; but Stapp adds to it the small sum of fifty millions and shows that he can tell a lie twico as big as Marshall dares attempt. Stapp talks about honest men, too. Wc shall expect a eermon shortly from Old Clootie himself. Vanderburgh Democrat We sent our paper, in exchange, to tho Democrat, immediately on its commencement, and continued sending it for some weeks after the Democrat ceased coming to us. We supposed that either the Democrat had been discontinued, or that our paper wa.s not wanted, and stopped the exchange accordingly. It is our desiro to exchange with every Democratic, and even every decent Whig paper in the State. 07The subscriptions for the Bellefontaine railroad stock amounted, some days ago, to about threohundred dollars, 70,000 of which was taken in this city. This Is the great road of the day, and when finished will be one of the most profitable in the world. We speak understand ingly. The State Journal adopts the Allison letter, (which was prepared at the city of Washington for Taylor to sign,) as the new whig platform. Mark it, if the whigs mount that platform, it will prove to them the gallows drop. 03See Proclamation of the President of the City Council. It is hoped that all voters will bear in mind the importance of the subject, and vote accordingly. The Disaffected Whigs Another Convention to ee Called. The Clay Whigs of New York appear to be determined in their opposition to Generul Taylor's nomination, and like the disaffected wing of the Democratic party in the same State, propose calling a Convention on the 2d of August next, at Buffalo, to nominate another person fur tho Presidency. "The State Sentinel is in a desperate rage." Newcastle Courier. A mistake, sir. The State Sentinel never felt more comfortable and good-natured than at present. O-Herrera has been elected President of Mexico, by the rotes of eleven States to five.

TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. Dayton, June2Gth, Hi A. M. Steamer llritannia Arrived. France. Prince de Joinville has been arrested at Paris. Prince Louis Napoleon has been returned to the National Assembly. The Government do not dare to molest him. Paris tranquil, but crowds have from time to time to be dispersed by force. Resignation of Lamartine and Ledru Rollin is openly talked of. Suspicions are expressed, that Lamartine was privy to the movements of the 15th of May. Caussidicre, late prefect of the police, charges Lamartine with having supplied arms to Suhrier. Thiers may supplant Lamartine, having been elected in one of the districts of Paris, wherin a vacancy had occurred. The French Constitution is to be Democratic Republican, indivisible. The declaration of rights admits gratuitous education, employment and assistance to the laboring classes. Im fort a nt fro.m Italy. Pesehiera surrendered into the hands cf Charles Albert, King of Sardjna. Battle at Gordo between Ö0.0U0 Austrians and 15,000 Piedmonteese. The former were completely routed, and flying in all directions, pursued by the cavalry. Pope Pius has recovered all his popularity with the people. Spain. At Madrid all British residents ate compelled to furnish security for their good conduct. Ireland. The Repeal association and Orange confederation arc iu fraternal union to agitate constitutional Repeal. The confederation issued a manifesto in terms no less iu defiance of law than Mitchell's effusions. Trade slightly depressed during the week in couscquence of the revival of political agitation. Holders of produce anxious to realize profits. Cotton market dull holders anxious to eell prices slightly receding. Corn market inactive and declining white corn fallen 2-3 pence per 70 lbs. Business fair at the abated prices. Flour declined 0d. with improved demand. Corn 5s. per 70 lbs. meal 25s. both extremely dull. Yellow corn o4 white 32 white meal 23s.

Foreign Items. The enormous circulation suddenly acquired by the Parisian press is a remarkable phenomenal of the times in France. The journal La Presse, which, Devolution, had some 30,01'U to lt),000 circu'ation, has since that period shot up to 100,000 und 110,000, a circulation, unparalleled in the history of journalism. The paper is composed or set up twice (in a duplicate form for the morning edition, and fnir times for the evening edition ; und yet the best printing machines do not tfike it off fast enough ! Insurrection and Massacre at Martinique. The British mail packet Great Weston, ut N. York, from St. Thomas, June 1st, and Bermuda 0th, brings information that an insurrection of staves occurred ut Martinique, May 22 J. About a hundred of the white population, including several women and chil-! dren, were massacred, and considerable property was plmiuereil mid burnt. The Duchess of Orleans has written a letter which is published in the .Vc,v ..; er, in which she says : "I deplored, at first, the unexpected revolution of February, and wept over the terrible full of those who were dear to rne ; I regretted, at firtt, for my son tho loss of the finest crown in the woilJ ; but now I had rather see my son dead than hope for him an early return to France, or dream that he might one day sit upon a throne, which is forever impossible." Little is said of the Duko and Duchess do Montpensier. The following statement, however, by the .Madrid correspondent of the Daily yews, is tolerably significant : I hear that tho establishment of the silversmith of Navarro, there is dismounting, bv order of the Duke

of Montpcnsier, a jewel-hilled sword that belonged h following articles. They show that the Major is to Napoleon, which the ex-prince succeeded in saving! quite equal to the crisis, though many of higher prefroni the sack of the Tuillcries. It is valued at j tensions quail under it like recently whipped negroes.

Prince Louis Napoleon has addressed a letter to the National Assembly, in which he states, that having heard that there was a proposition mode in the committee of the Assembly, tlmt, he of nil the Uonaparte family, should be banished from France, he thinks it necessary to declare, that although he put forward pretensions of a different kind as Ion" uh Louis I'hillippe was upon he throne, now that the .... , 1 . , . 1 1 , ,. ... republic is established, ull he asks are his rights ns a private citizen. I'auis, Friday evening. May 2o, 18 -H. The proposed decree fur the banishment of Louis Phillippu and his family, was brought forward to-day in the Assembly. The vote upon it was : in favor against it (i'J, majority for banishment, fjG'J. Markiaui: in Fi: ante. The laws iu relation to marriage 111 France are to be materially altered. In the projected changes of M. Cremiux, the condemnation of one party to an infamous punishment shall be ground of severance. Mutual consent of husband and wife, nnd expressed in a manner prescribed by law with the conditions imposed by the law, shall be a ground of divorce. A placard printed on red paper had been posted 011 the walls of Paris, calling a meeting of all females sincerely devoted to republican principles, at the Place Vtndome, to express to Citizen Cremiux their gratitude for bin advocacy of the principle of divorce. London Times. Uamsiimknt of (iF.oKor.s Sand. The celebrated Georges Sand has received a hint that her further presence in Paris at the present moment might be attended with disagreeable consequences, und she has consequently retired to some quiet spot nt a distance from Paris. It appears that she was one of the depositories of the secret of the attempt on the National Asstmbly on the 15th tilt., and one of the principal actors in carrying it into execution. During the attack upon the Assembly she was seen at a small public house at the corner of the Hue de Uourge'nie, in company with M. IJoccnge, nn actor at one of the Paris theatres, distributing pistols, diggers, and other weapons, to the persons forming the procession, nt the very moment when they were approaching the hall of tho Assembly. The fact was brought to the knowledge of the Attorney General of the Republic, who, on inquiry, found the facts to be so well authenticated, that he felt ho could not pass the matter over in silence, and he therefore gave the fair conspirator a hint, which has had the ellect of driving her into retirement. Georges Sand, or rather Madam Dudevant, is an intimate friend of M. Ledru Roiliu, und also is suspected of having given M. Jules Favre considerable assistance in framing the celebrated bulk tins of the Republic. On the day of the election of the Executive Government, which hns replaced the Provisional Government, Georges Sand wtss at the National Assembly, and while the ballot for the members of the Executive Government was going on, the National Guards on duty were not a little astonished to see her sitting on the grnss with M. Ledru Rollin, in the little garden udjoining the Salle des Pas Pendus, coolly smoking cigars. The VoLUNTF.r.ns. Eleven vessels varying from 1000 to 150 tons, have been taken up by Government within a few days at New York and Roston, to bring home troops from Mexico. The sum paid for the voyage both ways, is from 5(1,500 to (J,.r00. This includes the fitting up of berths, fuel, water and cooking utensils, &c. The total force to embark at Vera Cruz is estimated about JU2,000 persons, viz: 11,000 officers, 20.000 privates and non-commissioned otliccr, and 5000 teamsters and camp-followers. Q7The question was recently put to Gen. Ford, the whig candidate for Governor In Ohio, whether he would vote f r Taylor. This was at a public meeting. Ford replied that "he would be able to answer the question in about three weeks !" He dodged, and there were shouts of laughter from all quarters. His neighbors say that lie will net vote for Taylor. Rut at the meeting he did not dare to commit himsell either way. Whiggery is in a terrible etew in Ohio. 07-Somo of the Whig papers have spoken of Millard Fillmore, the federal candidate for Vice President, as ex-Governor of New York. He never was euch ; though once a candidate, he was badly beaten.

Tayloiism. The following article we take from the Boston Courier, the leading Whig paper in New England. It is decidedly rL-h, and should be read by our Whig friends who wish to keep the run of the times: "General Taylor. We belie.e it is known by this time that we are not in favor of the nomination of Gen. Taylor. We have done many things for our party not agreeable to us, but we never yet tried to delude any persons less informed than ourselves into the belief that a man with General Taylor's qualities ought to be President of the United States. We make no doubt that there are men in .Air. Bayly's district, Virginia, who believe that Gen. Taylor is moderately well informed, but wcshall not hazard our reputation, in this land of free schools, by stating that we believe there is one person in this Commonwealth with a beard on, who believes any such thing. But he is available, it is said. Ignorance has not unfrequently been considered as having something to do with availability. A certain man was once made Emperor because of his stupidity; each one of his electors, desiring to he chosen, threw his vote for the weakest man in the assembly, electing him almost unanimously, to the astonishment of all. "We know there are men of good sense not able to write good English, but we do not think any such ned to fear Gen. Taylor as a rival, except in the latter respect. .Men differ, it strikes us, as to what makes availability. Now, the fact that a man introduced 'blood hounds' in the Florida war to hunt down the Semiiioles, does not make him, in our mind, anv more available as a candidate for the Presidency. The fact that a man has not slept under a roof for some time, when he could have done so, might commend him to the Flat Heads or thu Choctaws, but we really don't see how it is going to prepare him for the White House. "We don't mind a round oath or two when a man

has the tooth-ache or the gout, 'but we cannot see how a habit of calling upon 'Sinboro,' lor aid is going t make a man available with two or three hundred thousand Christian voters. Consistency, we know, is not an available quality, but a good memory is, and a seeming regard fur the truth is desirable. The intention, however, governs; we can therefore overlook the directly opposite statements of Gen. Tavlor's letters of August 3d, 117, and April 20th, In one he says a man of sonic experience iu State ntfairs should be selected, (as a candidate for the Presidency,) and that he would cheerfully acquiesce in tmch a choice iu the other, he saya that the reports that he would do so, circulating iu the northern papers, have no foundation in any verbal or written statement of (mine) Iiis.' Tho mistake was probably made by the letter w riters who seem to be as careless of his interests as are some of the alitor ial friends of Mr. Webster of his. "It is rumored that there are men in Boston we havonot seen them who compare General Taylor to Washington. All we have to say is, that such men are extremely ironical, and we are jjlad for their sakes, that Washington left no immediate heir over sensitive about his memory." Opposition to Taylor. Major Semans of the Tippecanoe Journal, though assailed bitterly by simo of his whig colemporarics, has the firmness to adhere to the stand which he immediately assumed upon the nomination of Taylor. In this lie is consistent ; which is more than some of hi assailants can say for themselves. 11c opposed the nomination of Taylor on the ground if principle; nnd ho refuses to sanction the nomination now it is made. Though one of the oldest whig editors of the State, having dime a yeoman's service when some of those who now denounce him wer? yet unlledged, though still declaring fealty to the original principles professed by the whig party, he nevertheless has the moral courage to refuse to become a partisan slave, or to bow his neck to the yoke of Sjuthern Dictation. From the last two numbers of his paper we copy From the Tippecanoe Journal rf June 15 nr d 22. Ceu. Taylor as tlic Whig Candidate for President. A litre nird elrwhere, we cannot but resard the j nomination of General 'Iaylor, by the so-called Whig Na-I tional Convention, u cent ly convened at Philadelphia, as ai (Vlibcraie abandonment of principle by that body, and as a 1 ihirrt insult tiered to Ihe intelligence ami vitttie of the ! Ameiican pc ople In , ihi opi ; shall be Hlently if not opMlv yicAimH cf an j,0,,t.,t und ii; In this opinion, we make no doubt, we seconded, by the solemn cmiht thinking men, throughout the length and Lic.Jt!i of the land. Do not misundeistand u. We by no mean expect to rec a general tefusal by those who call themselves Whigs, even in the Noith and North West to support the nomination. Theie ar thousands who, though convinced, have not moral cou- j tag enough, to asseii theii indpendenre while there ate 1 thousand more, who have no patticular principles of their ! own, and who aie only held t gether by the "cohesive power : of a hope of public plunder.' These are the "old Ilutikru" of Whiggery, and they aie prepared to make any sacrifice for Party, but none for their Country. They, of course, will be for Gen. Taylor and it is hardly loo much to a id that they would have g-me with equal alacrity and earnest- j riess, for the Prince of the Nether Regions himself, had tho I old gentleman reccited the nomination in peison, instead of 1 it falling upon one if his recruiting olficcis. Our leaders will hive no difficulty in ascertaining our j position in legard to the nomin.ition. We stand pledged to 1 oppose it t the full extent of our feeble abilities. We are j impelled to this couise, ty a solemn sense of duty. Kvery conviction of out judgment evety sentiment and feeling of oui beirt every better impulse f our patuie demands that wc be firm, decided, unwaveiir.g in this matter. We could not do otherwie and preserve a clear conscience ; we ! could not without loosing our own self-iespect ; and feelingt h ; t we deceived lo lose the respect and confidence of all j who aie acquainted with us: Nay, we could not do it,! without realizing that we were deliberately sinning against the God who has fc.ud "It is appointed unto van once to die, and after death thejuJgiient." For moic than twelve months past, wc have invatiably, on all uitabltr occasion, dcclued our utter inability to suppoit Geneial Tayloi and we have -0 often assigned our reasons for 11 fusing him our suppoit, that it cannot be necesaiy I for us to tepeat them uow. Nor have we room in this brief ! aiticle to do s , evin were such a com sc called for. Ample oppoitunity will be alforded u, however, between thin and ! next November, and the leader may ret assuied that we shall not fail to avail ouisclf of it. For the picscut, we will only a.v : 1st. That we oppose Grn. Taylor, first, because we do not believe him qualified, cither by education, habits of life or thought, for so exalted a civil truit. 2d. Becaue he has nevei given any evidence of civic talent and presents no claims whatever, except such ns aie to be found in the fact that he has pioved himself a biave and 3gcious commander, well skilled in the art of human butcheiy. 3d. Jtecanse he has never made the science of government his study does not, as he says himself, "undeiftand poli(jC!i' never voted in his life and says that he has not made up his mind iu regiid to sume of the most iropoitant and fainiliir political questions of the day. 4th. Hecaue tie absolutely iefued to be nin a a party candidate, and declaied that he would not be consideted j the exponent of the principle of any patty, or be bound to adhere to cany th m out ; but was willing to leceive the nomination of the whigs, democrats, or native Ainciicaus provided h weifl left unpledged and uncommitted. 5th. lUcaus'e he declared that he would continue a candidate, whether nominated by the Whig National Convention 01 not. 6:h. Pecause he is, in the language of one of hii especial oigans, the New Oilean Bee, ''from bitth, association, and conviction, identified with the South" and her institutions ; being one of (he most extensive slaveholders in Louisiana ; and supported by the shve holding lotetest, as opposed to ihe Wiimot Proviso, und iu favor of secuiing the piivilege to the owiicih of slaves to remove with them, and plant the peculiar institution on soil heietofoie fiee. These arc a few of our objections ; but we have many moie which will be given from time to time, as time and oppoitunity hall serve. Keep it before the 1'eople, That the Whig National Convention basely betrayed the rank and filethe independent, honest, unpurchased and unptiwhasable woi king-men of the great whig party, into Ihe hands of selfish, aristt ciai ic, and lotdling slave-diivers of the South whose doctrine is, that the lust possible state of human society i that, in which the capitalists own both Ihe land and the lahoieis by whose hands il is cultivated. This is a d.ctune of the South, held a well by whigs as democrats, and it i because of Gen. Taylor's known sympathy with Iiis Southern brethren on Ibis and kindnd questions, that they are so deeid. dly in his favor regardless of party distinctions ; for, they adopt the sentiment and language of John C. Calhoun, as coutaincd in his letter of thanks to the Whig State Convention of Georgia, which body lud highly complimented him for his advocacy of the slavery extension doctrine, in his speech in th United States Senate. Mr. Calhoun, in replying to that complimentaiy ieolu!ion, and another (jasK-d by the same Whig Convention,) iu these words : "litsolved, That w are orpoed to the Wiimot Proviso, so called ; and that all legislation, by Congress, remaining the right to hdd ilave ptopetty in the territories of the United States, is unequal, unjust, and unconstitutional." Mr. Calhoun, we npeat, in his letter of thanks, held the following emphatic and unequivocal language: We must out te deceived. The time has come when tho

question must be met. It can no lonjr?r be avoided, nor, if it coul !, U it deniable. The longer it i postponed the more invetrrate and dat'gerou will tecurne the hostile feeling! between the hvehoJJing an1 nun-slaving Statt. With union among ourselves, we huve no'hing t fear; without it erery thing. The question is far above the party questions cf the day. II? who it not f t tis is agauM u-." "With uni mi mnig onrclves" :. that's the word.

For thu purpose, they have united and even South Carothey will bjv their . necks to the yoke, and tamely submit. Tlic 3Icc!iitg-. j The Independent Meeting of Thursday evening last, was : a most enthusiastic and soul-stirih.g demonstration. It was I very large, the Court House beinj crowded ; and the glow of , patiiotic feeling and conscious independence, which lit up I ihe countenances of the masses, ccuid only be equalled by the nxious concern, the fear and consteinati.m winch weie visibly depicted u;uii ihe elongated faces of the few 'Old Hunkers" pte-ent. That meeting p-oved one (hing very cuncluMvely (and we thank (lod that we were not roitalien:) it" proved that the I'KOl'LK are right at heart. From their inmost sou la they detest the dishouest and tiuck!iti cotirne of their political leaders, and aie leady, if they can see any possible ch oice of accomplishing rod thereby, to burst the sharkles tf parly and declare themselves KKEK AND INDKPKXDKN f. There are lens of thousand who are with us in opinion in sentiment in feeling who may not be able, a yet, to see their way clear oot of! ihe mehes thiown aiound thrm by the political fowlers of the day ; but wh.vc hearts respond AM K! to eveiy earnest made for the Truth and the Iliht, by those who luve g't their limbs loofe. Theie is a deep and fettle ! feeling ef opposition to the further encroachments ef the slave-puwei to the conrer?i in .f free into slave tenit ry which neither tirr,e i.or circumstances can etadicate; but which will contiuue to in cie:ise, to deepen and widen until it shall be uuiveisal.

Having delibetatt ly abandoned every thing like pii:cip!e having basely sacrificed it upon the unhallowed altar of availability, and in Mib-ei viency to ihe slave power ; they date not open their mouths. Having no reason to present, why the people shnuld bow their ncks to the yoke, other than that most meicenaiy and ?elfisri one which is to te found in the probability of success they expect us, in the language of one of their songs of 1S40, To "go for T-u-ylor theiefore. Without a why or wherefote." There ate a few, thank God, who cm'i sing thit song ! Those SSIood Hounds. A great dot was said by the whigs in 1S10, as the reader will lemernher, about the employment cf Cuba Blood Hounds against the Floiida Indiius. Pour Marlin Van Uuren caught it, on II hands, for hi murderous inhumanity in this particular. He was denounced a even worse than the savages themselves, and nnny an lnr,et voter was aim st ready to fwe ar vengeance ugainst him, should an opportunity of taking his scalp ever occur. Hut, humane render, let us astonish you for once. Martin Vjii Uuie;i was not Ihe author of that hellish project. No one but a southern regio-driver would ever have thought of it. It was old Zachiry Taylor, the slaveh lders' nominee for Piesidcnt in November next, who conceived the plan ef tmi'ti'iiüg blood houud into the seiviro! Yes, he is the man, and none other.

Like most of the delegates, he was opposed to Taylor's nomination, but he now comes back, says that w hig principles are all obsolete, and goes for Musa Taylor, with all the cringing sycophancy of nn original Dough-face. If the whig party have not given up their principles, there enn be no doubt that men of Gregory's stamp have done so. pAKNr.UKNT.i:. The Tippecanoe journal of last week contained a call for a meeting at Lafayette, to repudiate the nomination of Gen. Taylor by the Pliilndelphia convention. The call was hioned by ninetytwo persons, all wings-, we understand, butM.r. The meeting was held last Thursday evening, nnd "as marked by great enthusiasm, with a (inn determination to go against the whig nominee. This movement scatters the whig party, in Tippecanoe county, to the wind'. Strong speeches were made on the occasion, and suitable resolutions passed with great unanimity.
