Aftex all present had partaken of the. good thiags of a richly laden table, the President jOse addressed tlie asseniWag in very jBpprpriate terms, in the course of which he "remarked "V present General Tavlor as a hig can.tidate. That he is a Whig, let his letter to Mr. IngersoU, now in lhj possession of Mr. Barrow, attest. He is a Whig of thtschool of Heby Clay." This portion of Mr. B,.'s speech was received with enthusiastic and long-eon li noed sheering. A number of regular toasts were then read bv E. J. Morris. Esq.

Mr. Morris then read the following address to the Whigs of the Union. Portions of it were most enthusiastically cheered, aud at the .close the cheering was renewed : To the IVhigsvfthc United State?. Fellow Whigs: Ve address youtis politi ral brethren, engaged in the same cause an I de Toted to a common object the salvatios of the Constitution, and the rescue .of the Natiou and Union from the perils that now surround .(.hem. A crisis has arrived iti the history of the Republic. The Constitution is perverted from its original spirit, and an attempt is made to change the purposes aud character ot our iu siitutioiis. .We are in the midst of a war, ere ated by the act of the Executive, in derogation of the Constitutional functions of Congress. An immense debt is accumulating, day by day and direct TA?ATioir is imminent. The in dustry of the people is sacrificed to the theoret doctrines the revenues ol trie govern ment are inadequate to us support the im proveirient of our Harbor and river uavigatiou i arrested by Executive caprice, and the pow.er of the Fedtral Government to promote the general prosperity is paralyzed by the arbitrary will of one man. The present is full of evil, and the future lowers upon us with clouds of foreboding eloom. Patriotic Whigs! in the presence of impend ing rum, what,js vourdutyf bhall vourcoun try appeal to you in vain? Will vou not rally to its succox iu this hour of exleniity? Wid you permit personal preferences to distract aud divide you in the face of a conflict, which may perhaps, be Vie last struggle in defence ol Lou stitutional libertv? You have it in vour pow jer to save the country. Will you embrace the opportunity? It would be an impeachin nt ol your patriotism, to question your willingness to obey a call, which, strong as the voice ot nature, is addressed to your sympathies and judgement. You cannot hesitate. The nation resounds with his name his virtue and achievements are on every tongue, tht; universal eye turns to jonemaa, a the man of tlie times the ga.lunt soldier woo saved the honor ot his country, when in extreme peril; whose military deeds have raised our national fame to the highest pitch of glory, and whose intellect and character have proved him worthy of a place, designed for the highest merit and the most exalted worth Gen. Zachaut Taylor. Ye this dav reiterate our desire' to present him to the Whigs of theUuiou, as a candidate for the Presidency, subject to the decision of the Whig National Convention. Oa his own authority, and in his own language, we declare him to be a "Whig" in Principle. If elected, Jie will administer the government, in his own words, 'according to the Washington an 1 Ma ljson oolicy," the fountain heads of hig doctrine. We are thus assured of his attachment to the Whig faith. He is pledged by his ,own voluntaryactto the principles ol the Whig party. " He is known to be a man of stern integrity, firm purpose, and the loftiest honor. His illustrious character is a suth" dent guarantee of the truth aud fulltilment of his de clara tions. As an avowed TViu'g, then, we ask his nomination by the rtdUon.il Ojuvr-nuoii to assemble in the cousecrated Hall of Independence, in this city, on the 7th ot June next. Ot toe election ol Uvu. laylor, if nominat ed by that august bjdv, no oiii ent.-r.ains a doubt that Gen.Tavlor will carrv this Slate by a large and decisive majority. We Seak for .ourselves, of what we know, and what can not be gai vayed. The hearts of the people of Pt nnsylvaina are with him: they love hun, aril thev an eager to honor him. I he good, in pure, and the impartial of all other pilitital

divisions will join with us in his s ipport, and he will be raisd to the Presidency by the largest vote any candidate has received since the diysof Washington. His capacity i established by his despatches, his conduct, the un jerring sagacity and wisdom that has marked his career, from the war of 1312 to the campaign on the Rio Grande. His virtue, his integrity, and his purity of motive, have stood the Jest of the most severe ordeal, and he stands before the world wi'houl spot or blemish. .As fin American citizen, we are proud of him and a Whig we rejoice that there was one amon.i us who commands the love and admiration of ALL our countrymen. Whigs of the Union! In the name of our common country, in behalf of her outraged constitution, aud by your regard for the success and establishment of the great principles of our organization, we invoke you to join with H3 in an effort to secure the nomination of General Tavlor by the WhigNatioual Convention. With him, a glorious an I salutary victory is certain an honorable pace will be! secured and maintained, and the tidi of misrule will be turned back, and the better days of the Ripi;blic be restored, in all th-ir primitive lustre and glory. A fearful responsibility rests upon you. Let it never be said that you faltered, when all that is held dear was at stake. By the Facred memories of the past, by the hopes of the future, we call yon to the rescup, and imploreyou to rally with us under the standard of Taylor, and the Cosstitctios. Future ages will honor your patriot im, and" the page ol history will" attest the blessings you conferred upon your race and country, by the nomination of the unsullied patriot, the veteran Heko the IIosest M an, the venerable Sage Gen.

At the- last Presidential canvass, without interfering in any way with the same, it was well known to all with whom 1 mixed, Whigs and Democrats, for 1 had no conceal m !! is in the matter, that 1 was decidedly iu favor of Mr. Clay'seleciion.and would uuw prefer seeing him iu that office to any individual in the Union; certainly much more soalany time to tmself.

A. 1XAF FROM TEE LIFE OF A LOUISIANA SWAMP DOCTOR. Shortly before the usual time for wending my way north to the medical lectures, an opportunity was offered me by an ingenious negro, who had caught the reptile asleep, of exchanging a well-worn blanket coat and two dimes, principally in cash, for as fine a specimen of the Rattlesnake as ever delighted the eye or ear of a naturalist nine inches acrossthe small of the back.six feet seven- eighth of an inch in length, eyes like globular lightning, colors as gaudy as an Arkansas girl's apron, twenty-three rattles, and a great propensity to make them heard, were the strong points ot my purchase. Designing him as a propitiatory offering to one of the professors, my next care was to fur.iish him witha titling habitation. . Nothing better presenting itself, 1 made him one out of a pine box, originally designed lor shoes, by nai'.ii.g slats transversely, so as neithet to exclude air nor vision, but tufliciently close, 1 thought, to prevent him from escaping. The day toi my departure arrived and I had hissnakeship car.ied on board the boat destined to bear me to Vicksburg, where I would take an Ohio steamer. Unfortunately for the quietude ol my pet, on the Yazoo boat was a young Cockney lady, who, hear ing that there was a live rattlesnake on board, al lowed her curiosity to overcome her maiden diffidence sufficiently to pretera request, that the young doctoi would make the haniinal oiler!" a process which the proverbial abstemiousness, when in confinement of the "hanimal," was accomplishing rapidly, withou any intervention on my part. Politeness wouldn't allow me to refuse; and, as it was considerable of a novelty to the passengers, his snakeship was kept constantly stirred up, and his rattles had very lime rest that trip. he steamer at length swung alongside of the whaif-boat at V and, transfcriing my bag gage, 1 lounged about until the ariivai of a boat would give me an opportunity of proceeding. The contents of the box were quickly discovered, and the snake had to undergo the same infections as the day previous, until, thoroughly vexed, I made them desist, and resolved thenceforth I would conceal his presence, and allow him to travel as common baggage. 1 he shades of night were falling fast," as the steamer Congress came booming along, and, after a stay ot a few minutes lor passengers, proceeded on her way obtaining none, however but myself. The snake-box was placed with the oth r baggage on the; cabin deck, l.i trout ol the "social hall,' jam up, as luck would uuve it, against one ot the chimneys, niaiiiig ttie location unp.easantly warm. It was a b. ight, Iuuiiiijuj night in tlu autumn. The clear croupy cough of the steamer was echoed back in prolonged astuuiatic strums from the dark woods lining the liver, like an "army of c.jwIeJ gigantic iuouks, come from tneir cells to see a steamboat. dupper was over, and the beauty of the night hid enticed the majority of the passengers from the cabin toiheo,3ii decks. A goodly numJer, myself among the rest, were seateo in trout of the social hall, smoking our cigars. and swapping yarns of all climes, sizes, nations, and colors. itting a few yards from me, the most prominent personage of the group, smoking his regatia, and re galing tue crowd with the manner in which he choked a "cobra deCopelia" to death, that crawled into his hammock in India, was an old LnglLh bailor, who, from, his account had sailed over all the world, auo through some pat is of it. Weighing the words down with a heavy ballast ot oaths, be said he wasn't afraid of anything in the snake line, from the sea serpent down to the origin al snake that tempted Eve. I asked him it he had ever met with the rattlesnake since he had been in America, thinking I would put his courage to the test on the morrow. "deen a rattlesnake! Yes, enough to sink a sev-enty-toui! Went to Georgia on purpose to kill them! rtbuw'. To think a man that had killed a boa con tactor in a fair fight, should be afraid of a little nohy fiir. of a snaHe, that never grew bigger round than a marlinspike!" At this moment, the bout was running a bend neai in shore, and the glare ot a huge hre al a wood yarn was thrown directly under the chair of the braggart, when, tomy utter amazainent, I saw there snugly coiled up the huge proportions of my snake! 1 was so ho.iu-.d and astonished, 1 could neither speak nor move. 1 had left him securely fastened iu his cage and yet, there he was at Lbjrty,in his dead ly coil, his eyes gleaming like livi-ig coals. The light was intercepted, and the fojt ot the sailor mov ing closer to the reptile, it-c jminenced its warninj rattle, but slowly and irregularly, shjwing it was not fally aroused. 'What's that?" exclaimed a dozen voices. The foot being wi.hdiawn, the tattling ceased be fore its nature or souice could.be clearly traced "'Twas the steam escaping," said one, "A goose hissin'," said another. "The wind." "A trick to scare the sailor," thought a good many; but I knew it was a rattlesnake in his deadly coil. 1 he horror of that moment I shill not attempt to describe; every second I expected to hear the shriek ol thesailor. as the deadly fanas would penetrate his flesh; and I knew, if a vein were stricken, no power on earth could avail him, and I was powerless to warn him otitis danger. "It sounded monstrous like a rattlesnake," ob served a passenger; "but theie is no doctors or fool students on board, and nobody but cusses like these would be taking snakes 'bout. I was gwine up the Mississippi wunst. when a rattlesnake, belonging to a medical student on board, got out and bit one ot the passengers. The poor ciitter didn't live ten min u'es, and the sawbones prentice not much longer, reckon." My hair stood on end, for there was an earnestness about the man that told me he was not jesting. "You didn't kill him. surelyf" asked some one i-Oh, no ! we didn't zickly kill him. sich as cuttin his throat, or puttin' lead in his holler cimblin, for that would have takin' the law inter our hands; bu we guv him live hundred lashes treated him to a coat of tar and feathers, made a clean cropof one ear,and a swaller-fork slit under-hit and a half crop of the other, and put him out on a little island, up to bi mouth in water, and the river r'ts'n' a slam toot an hour!" Not knowing hut a similar fate might soon be mine, in agony, with the cold sweat streaming over me, 1 listened to this infernal recital ofan i.istance of the summary punishment termed "Lynch Law," which the unavailability ol the proper law so often drove the early settleri to, and wjich untbrtunately is not entirely abolished. The sailor must again have moved his foot c'.oer to the snake than agreaMe, for his infernal rattling again recommenced, and this time, clear, loud, and contiguous, to the tutored ear indicating great danger, the prelude to a fatal spring. I shjok oft" my lethargy, and shrieked out' "Don't move, for your life! Alight! For God's sake, bring a light! Uuick! Quick!" No one moved thinking 1 was jesting. "Mister." spoke the sailor, "jf it is a trick to scare us, you'l miss the figure with your child's tattles; jest bring one of your real rattlesnakes along, and I'll show you whether he can frighten an English sailor or not." Hearing me calling so loudly lor a light, the mate, a 6ialwurt Irishman, came running up with a large totch; but hardly had he reachdiscovered the monster, his- h lor sirilii.ig. "snake! Snake!" yelled he, punchinj at him with his glaring torch. 'Whereabouts, you Iubber?"still suspectirg a trick, i &s Vl&l blinding us alL "Cnder your feet!"

: The sailor looked down, and beheld the hideous reptile, right under his chair! WJih a loud yell, he made but one spring over the guards into the river. "Rattlesnake! Man overboard! Stop her! Out with the yawl! Fire! Snake! She'3 sinking! Shoot him!

Snake! Whose'is it! Lynch him! Kill the rascal!' ; swelled on the air, mingled with the crashing of broken doors and chairs, the oaths and rushing of terrified men, and the screaming of still more terrified women, who knew not what to fear, while clear and distinct, above the infernal melee, arose the piercing rattle of the snake who, writhing his huge proportions about, and staking at everything i ear him, seemed to glory in the confusion he had created. A shot was heard, and then the coil collapsed, and the rattling slowly ceased, The snake was dead. - "Who brought it on board ?,' "Let's lynch the scoundrel!'' "Are there any more of them?" "Here's the box he got out of." Mjnamt was on it, in large capitals! ' "Throw it over board!" 'Throw it over hoard!" I yelled out, "it may have more in jt! i hrow n overboard!" No sooner said than done, and as the only evidence of my participation floated away over the wave, no one was louder in his denjneiation of the rascal that brought it on board than myself. Giants of Oldzs Time. In one of his recent lec tures. Professor Siiliman the younger, alluded to the discovery of the skeleton ofan enormous lizard, meas uring upwards of eight feet. From this fact the Pro fessor inferred, as no living specimen of such gigantic magnitude has been found, that the species of which it is the representative his greatly degenerated. The vervy of the position, he rather singularly endeavors to enforce by an allusion to the well known existence of giants in olden timas. The following list furnishes the data on which this singular data is based: The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1335, the Professor said, measured over 18 feet. Cjropius saw a girl who was ten feet high. The body of Grostes was eleven and a half feet high. i he giant Galbara, brought from Arabia to Rome, under Claudius Caesar, was near ten feet hish. - Euenman, who lived in the time of Eugene II., measured eleven feet and a half. The Cavalier Scrog, in his voyage to the Peak of Teneiiife: found in one of the caverns of that moun tain, the head of Gunuch, which had eighty teeth and it was supposed that hi body was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Ferragus, slain by Orlando., nephew to Chariemange, was eighteen feet high. In 1314, near St. Germain, was "found the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was no less than twenty feet higl. In 1590, near Rouen, was found the skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and whose body must have been eighteen feet long. Ptatorious saw, at Lucerne, the human bones of a subject nineteen feet long. The giant Bacart was twenty-two and a half feet high. Hm thi-b bones were found in 1703, near the banks of the river Moderi. I In 1633, near a castle in Dauphine, a tomb was found thirty feet long, twenty wide, and eight feet high on which was cut on a grey stone, the words, "Ke.itoluchus Rex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty-five and a half feet long, ten feet across the shoulders, and five deep from the breast bone to the back. NearMazanno, in Sicily, in 1516, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high. His head was the size of a hogshead, and each of his teeth weighed five ounces. Near Palemo, in Sicily, in 1548, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet long, and another thir ty-three leet high, in l.ioU. We have no doubt that there were "giants in those days," and perhaps Nature was more prolific in pro ducing them than at present. But the history of gi ants during the olden time, is not more remarkable than that ot dwarfs. Large men and small are com mon now-a-days. We are exceedingly sorry to eayany tiring against the ladies, but we have lately heard thievish reports against them. It i currently reported, and general ly lieiieved by the whole sex, that they do not scruple to hook each other's dresses. State of Indiana, Warrick County, S.
