TO THE VAN IIUUEN WHIGS OF INDIANA. Fellow Citizens: I confess it sounds almost like a paradox to bay 'Van Büren wbigs!' nevertheless, 1 know not by what other name to call you. It would not be proper to say 'Free Soil whigs,' for it is an undeniable fact, that the great body of wbigs, especially in th Free States, are, almost without exception Free Soil Whig! But it is only to those whig who, wilh the Liberty party and certain disaffected Democrats, hate resolved to throw away their voles for President upon Mania Van Buren, that my remarks are addressed; 1 therefore, lor the want of a bettername, call you Van Buren Whigs! If you are dissatisfied wilh the appellation, and see in it that ridiculous incongruity which it naturally suggests, 1 call on jou lo pause, and to rt fleet seriously, before you nave justly and forever, rendered yourselves obnoxious to so inconsistent a name by voting lor that man, who above all others, the Whig of this Union hare reason to distrust if not to despise! To come directly to the subject of this address, 1 remark, that finding myself in the singular predicament above alluded to, and taking as 1 conceive, a rational and common sense

view uf th? matters, and of the claims and prospects of the Presidential candidates now before the American people, I have resolved to vole for Gen. Tatlob. And being a mem berof the Free Soil State Central Committee, and contingent elector for the 5th district, 1 conceive it my duty to make this public announcement of my determination, and to call on my whig brethren throughout the State who are now enlisted in the Van Buren corpse fo go und do likewise. . " k.M. lama whig 1 have always been a wnig, and I see not how I can be any thing else. And to those whig, and to those only, who have been carried away by the Free Soil ex citement in the delusive hope of accomplishma something by voting lor ;hc third candi date, I shall proceed to give a few reasons for the course 1 have taken reasons which the humblest man in the State can understand and appreciate. 1st. lama Inend of t tee Soil as much so I presume, as any of you, I abominate the further extension of that National curse Sla ve rt. But here are two candidates, (Jen. Tayonr nert prMifr.. iimv ,i0 8tumi ;n re. gara io lne Free Soil question?

The ia nothin2 l0 be honed for by the Friends of Free Soil, by the election of Gen Cass. But what of Gen. Tavlor? Now Uu most that can be, or ever has been said of him on this Question is, that he is uncertain. We are told by the advocates of the Free Soil movement.that the South expect Gen. Tay lor(should he be elected) to oppose by his veto, the Willa Dnrove it. should Congress pass a bill con laming it; and consequent y. the lorin or the the mosl can Maki lhe WOf 0f lne matter, you can only say it is uncertain what üen.

aequsntly, every iriiVthat votes for him, 1101 only throws away his vote, but he helps to increasscSass' vote, by diminishing Taylor's. Should a whig vote directly for Cass, it would be equal tot wo votes in the present contest; for it would count one more for the one, and one less for the other which is equal to firo. But every whig who votes for Vau Buren who cannot be elected takes one vote from Taylor, consequently, every whig vote given to Van Buren, counts one in favor of Cass. Wilh these tacts staring me in the face, how could I, a whig, do other than vote for Gen. Taylor. And how else, ray whig friends, can you rote, in order to vote consistently You

cannot expect to accomplish anything unless it be the election ol Lass, and it you wish to aid his election, why no', vole directly for him why not go lhe whole figure at once, and thus let each of your votes count two for him. instead of but one, as in the case of your voting lor Van Buren! lou would ihen be entitled lo some consideration at his hands should he be elected which, may the Lord forbid! Do you prefer the election of Cass to that of Taylor? Then go and vote for him; I have not a word to say. 1 enter not into a discus sion of the merits of the two candidates save ouly so far as the free soil question is concern ed. To those who expect to vote directly for one or the other of the two prominent candidates. I offer no reasons why they shot Id vote for Taylor instead of Cass: it is time all such had their minds made up on this question; but it is to ou tr A ig, you who have always been wnigs, ana wno nave stood oy wuig princi pies in times gone Dy times when "mm hearts filled ihem, for fear, and for looking alter the judgments and calamities coining up on our country; you who are now on the verge of squandering your votes on a man who has not the snadow uf a chance in his favor, and thus giving "aid and comfort to the ene my, at mis critical moment when your aid is most needed, when hope brightens in the po lilical firmament, and victory seem ready to perch on our banners; to you 1 address my remarks, and to you 1 say, Will youdoil? ill you thus indirectly, and, as it w ould seem, Diiuutoid, aid the election ol a man whom, of all others, you should wish to see not elected! ISO, I cannot believe that you will. 1 ItnoiB vou will not. if vou will but re- ' j1 fleet seriously on this subject for five minutes, and then ask yourself, W hat shall 1 accom push by voting for Van Buren, uuless it be to lhe election ol üen. Cass? 3d. No doubt you expect your Democratic brethren-those who have rallied upon the "Free Soil Platform" to vote with you: be careful that you are not deceived! For my own part, I cannot avoid the conviction that they, or a majority of them, will desert you when the day lor voting comeb! 1 may judge them wrong; but I know them, and you know them, to be well trained, as a party, aud that they will resort to divers intrigues and pretences in order lo elect their parly candidate. Mark my words vou will find il but a ruse on their part to induce vhigs to vote for Van Buren, and thus dimiuish the votes for Taylor; while they themselves will vote for Cass. This is my honest conviction I cannot avoid it; and shall I suffer myself to be made the dupe of designing and intriguing men to be deceived bv their false pretences, and induced to aid ihem in electing their candidate, Gen. Cas the very man ofall others 1 wish to see defeated? No. never I will run no risks in this matter: 1 will vote for Zachart Tatuob, and then I shall know what 1 am doing. 1 believe Gen. Taylor will tet the electoral vote of Indiana. 1 hope he may: but mark what I say: Nothing will prevent him but tchigs voting for Van Bvren! If he looses this State, it will be owing, in my judgment, to nothing but the fact that uhigs have given the State to Cass by votiug for the "BuflaloNoin mee! Whias of the. "Iree soil party, are you prepared for this? If so, then the sin be upon your own heads. Look well to this matter, lest you shall regret your conduct when it is too late for remedy! But I am told, "we must keep the free soil party together, for it will be the main party hereafter." Better let the party go to the dogs than to elect Gen. Cass! If the party shall be needed, it can he sprung into being, full grown during the next four years. Better look to the election of the right kind of Congressmen, for here is where the work must be dune after all. Give us the right kind of Congress and Taylor at its head, who will "respect the will ot he people, as expressed through their representatives, and we have nothing to fear. But what can a free soil Congress do, wilh Cass at I at Ii Arl rQ t r rtl t-1 d r as I f r va.(a anrtrtinrt in the shipe of a r ree boil Dill? Gen. Tavlor is a whis. but not an ultra whin. And my God save this country from any more Presidents ol ultra politics! Gen. Jackson was an ultra Democrat; an I well did be make use of his ultraim.

Gen. Cass is an ultraM. He was ultra in the stupe of rxfras he is so ultra that he would, if elected, allow his "personal opinions to control the action of Congress aud so ultra a warrior that I fear he would plunge, ourcountry into another war, by attempting to "gwallow all Mexico," Cuba and Yucatan included! May the Lord save us from any more ullraisni ou the part of our rules. Gen. Tavlor is not an ultraist. He is a friend of lhe Conlitutionand of the people, lie has "no enemies to punish, nor friends to reward,' and if elected, he goes into the Presidential chair, untrammeled, free to do his du ty, and subserve the interests of his country. The more 1 learn of this man's character, the more do I love him. He is a great, a good and a true man, such as our country had not seen since the days of the immortal Washington. 1 shall vote, for Gen.

My life has been devoted to arms, yell look upon war at all times and under all circumstances as a National calamity, to be avoided it compatible wilh rsatioual honor. Zachary Taylor Or Con quest.

1 have never stated to auy one that I was in favor of the Tariff of 46 of the Sub-Treasury or that 1 originated the war with Mexico. No such admission or statements were made by me to any person, at any time. Zachary Taylor. His Avowal or Whig Principles. Although no politician, having always held myself aloft from lhe clamors of party politics, am a Whig, and neves shall be devoted is individual opinion to the pkiseiples of that party. Z.Taylor. Atter the discussion which occurred in both Houses of Congress, growing out of lhe capitulation of Monterey, 1 can hardly imagine how any one who was present and heard the speeches on that occasion, or read them after ihey were published, could well mistake the complex ion of my politics. Z. Taylor. la the first part of the letter, from which the above is an extract, Gen. Tay lor declares himselfa Whig. His Preferexce for Clay. At the last Presidential canvass, it was well known lo all with whom 1 mixed, Whigs and Democrats for I had no concealment in the mailer that I was decidedly in favor of Mr. Clay's election, and would now prefer seeing him in that office to any individual iu the Union. Z. Taylor. His Patriotism. I hive no purposes to accomplish no party projects to build up no enemies to punish nothing to serve but my country. Z. Taylor. Interference with Con chess. The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive Chair ought not to control the action of Congres upon questions or domestic policy; nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of Constitutional power have been settled by the various departments of government, and acquiesced in by the people. Z. Taylor. On the Veto Power. I have thought that for many yars past, the known opinions and wishes of the Executive have exercised an undue an injurious influence over the Legislative department of the Government; and for this cause I have thought our system was in danger of undergoing a ,reat change from its true policy. Z. Taylor. Views of the Duty of the Executive. Should such high distinction be conf rred upon me as that of elevation to the Executive ofiice, the Constitution, in a strict honest interpretation and in the fpirrt and mode iu which it was acted ripon by the earlier Presidents, would be my chief guide. Z. Taylor. View of lAnTV Pledges. I have no concealment. I hold no opinion which I would not readily preclaim to mo assembled countrymen; but crude impressions ujon matters of policy, which may be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, are perhaps not lhe best test of fituess for office. One who cannot be trusted without pledges, cannot be confided hi merely on account of them. Z. Taylor. His opinion ofSl.wehy. He did not hemtate to pranounce slavery an evil, and blighting in its effects upon the agricultural and commercial prosperity of lhe South. To this he attributed the decay of Virginia; and he thought il would extend to other slave Slates. He spoke at some length on the point, and drew his illust.ations from ancient history. ücn. Taylor 9 Conversation at East Pascagoula. Col. Mansfield, of the Cincinnati Chronic'e, thus speaks from his own knowledge, relative to Gen. Toy lor's sla ve-lioldiug. disclosing facts honorable lo him, that were not geuerally known before: ln lhe firit place, Taylor is a slave-holder by inheritance, and has nevpr in his life yurchased a single slave for the purpose of investment. He has with lhe benevolent intention of preventing the suparation of families, bought S aves, soin:lim:s at extravagant prices, but never with the view of increasing his slave property. "In the next place, persons of nuimpaecliable veracity, who hare conxersed with Gen. Taylor cuueerning the cx'.euioii of slavery, declare that he U, in opinion au I feeling, opposed to it. i c Democratic opinion of Taylor previous to his beinp n Candidate. The Pes worthy of the Sword. Nothing can be more happy, appropriate, modest, dign-r fied, than the despatches of Gen. Taylor. They are worthy ol the man and of the occasion which has called them forth. We thoroughly agree with the compliment ihat the New Orleans Courier pays to the general order of (Jen. Taylor, "giving thanks to his troops for their bravery and good conduct:" "The American reader will remark with pride and pleasure I ho striking contrast it exhibits to the tedious, extravagant, vain -glorious production of the Mexican General. The neatness of the ntylc is admirable not a tcord too vmch or in the wrong place all in fine keeping with the energy and decision with which ftis military operations arc conducted.1' From the Semi-Weekly Union of May 30, 181b Resolved, That General Zachary Taylor, ly his masterly correspondence with the War Department, no less by his heroic conduct and indomitable coolness and courage on the field of

battle, nas snown nimseit to De noi only a iiisunguiieii military cnieiiaiu, out a man oj great mental and moral power, and whose life ha given evidence of a strong head, an honest heart, and a republican iimplicity of character, Proceedings of the Utica Convention, February ladt. Resolved, That the devoted patriotism, indomitable firmness, calm judgement, and pre-eminent military skill of Gen. Taylor, have denned and will receive the heart felt thanks of the irhole American people. ' Resolved, That the above qualities, when associated uithhisgrraf administrative powers, his statesman-like views, on the conduct of the war, the enargy an 1 iinlicity of his tetters, and his unbounded influence over all classes of persons with w hom he is thrown in contact, fully prove his peculiar sapabllity for the discharge of the duties ol the thief magistrate. Therefore, Resolved, That as the open and repeated refusal of President Tolk to be a candidate forrrelection renders the selection of a successor necessary, that the democracy of Berks in county meeting assembled, present to their fellow Democrat of the State and Union, the name of Gen. Zachary Taylor, as the most eminently suitable person fob their candidate in 1813. Proceedings of a Democratic meeting held in Berks county Pa., July 13, 1847. GENERAL TAYLOR'S TUHLIC SERVICES. He entered the seevice of his country, commissioned by Jefferson. Since that day to the present time; hi has been where duty called him. Aow he has performed that duty is known to the American peopld. HB NEVER SUFFERED A DEFEAT! ! GENERAL TAYLOR'S PEIJSOAL CHARACTER. I believe thai he isan entirely hontand upright in-in. I believe that he is molest, clearhearted, of independent and manly character, possessing a mind trained by proper discipline and self-control. I believe that he is estimable and amiable in all the relations of private life. I believe that he possesses a reputation for equity and fair judgment which gives himau influence over those under his command, beyond what is conf-rred by lhe authority of station. 1 believe that he is a man possessing the confidence and attachment ofall who hare been near him and know him. So much for what I think ot the personal character of Gen.

Taylor. Daniel Webster's Speech. Although not a member ol any religious society, Gen. Taylor i strictly a moral man moral in his thoughts and moral in his actions. For all that is truly religious and truly christian, he has the highest veneration; but there is nothing sectarian, or bigoted, or intolerant in his

nature His is that religion which is broad enough to unite all men, whatever the difference

ofooinion. as brethren in the service of a common master, and seeking a common salvation. . ... r 1 -Itl ,.L . tl . til .1 .

He believes the rignl oi conscience io oe invoiuame, ami inai au suouiu De inerein protected, no matter what their creed, or the altars at which they worship.

In his manners. Gen. Taylor is plain and unassuming arcesxible to every onr. The hum-

ble.it are equally welcome with the highest in his presence, and both leave it equally charmed with his simplicity and frankness. He has no fondness whatever for show, anct. has seldom been seen in full uniform. And in the field there is nothing about his quarters to uisiinguish them as those of a Major Generel. The came lack of pretension and ostentation is noticable there. Entitled by his rank to a marquee, he uses a soldier's tent. No guard stands before it, nor is it remarkable for ita furniture. There is, indeed, nothingstudiedorartificial about him. WThat he seems in the camp, he is at home in the bosom of bis family, plain in his dress, simple in his habits, and coidial in his manners. In all the relations of life, he is the same; he never changes, no matter how often men or fashions change. He moves along still in his quiet war, indifferent to everything but duly, and the consciousness of having performed it.Lij
