Taylor is almost entirely unanimous. In our own State we know ' of but one paper bearing the proud title of Whig that has refused to support tne rmladelphia Nominees. The paper which we allude to is the Lafayette Journal, edited by John B. Semans. The course which this paper has pursued for some years past has Injured the great Whig party more than any three Locofoco papers in the State have in the same length of time. We understand that arrangements are being made to establish a Whig paper in Lafayette. If this be true, i. will be "Good bye Major." We know there are hundreds and thousands of good men who were anxious to try the "sage of Ashland" another heat, give him one more round, and there were those who did not think Gen. Taylor strong Whig enough for them. He is, however, the nominee by the voice of the people expressed through their Convention, and the question for such as have any doubts about the matter, is whether thev prefer the honest and pure-hearted Taylor to the intriguing politician Cass. That is the question. A question which they will soon settle in their minus. It is five months yet to the election, and, though the day be far oft let us offer a prediction as to the vote of the First District of Indiana. We predict that Gen. Taylor will receive a larger majority in this District than did Mr. Profit in his best race. We have a pretty high opinion of our laculty for foresight. For instance our readers will remember the prediction we made some time prior to the last August election, as to the majority that Mr. Einbree would receive over Mr. Owen, and, for which, every Locofoco for weeks afterwards, that we could get sight of, turned out of our way as though he was about to encounter a member of some Lunatic Asylum. Nevertheless the prediction was veri fied. Mexicans ik the Usited States. Our pop ulation is 'destined to be considerablv ed by a new class of emigrants the Mexican citizens and citizenesses. who hare friendly ties and relations with oufcouu try and army. All those who have had anv ennnortinn with, or -who have eihibited any kindness to our countrymen, are flying from the certain punishment and disgrace which awaits, them among tneir own degraded and cowardly Deo pie. It is said that there are no less than two thousand Mexican women following in the rear of our army, and escaping the wrath of the cowardly wretches, who have alrea.1v sf itw. example of branding the cheeks and cutting off me nair oi lour defenceless females, merely because they had exhibited to our people that kindness and admiration which woman in every age and every country never fails to feel for toe bare and magnanimous.

CCJ-The Democrat virtually admits hftTpig

published a falsehood about Mr. Butler and a former representative from this county, It would hare been acting honestly if the Pernor crathadgonea little farther and said what is true that Mr, Butler never solicited any gentlemen of this county to become a candidate for the Legislature, but we suppose so much fairness all at once could uot come from that quarter. 1 ' - - The British sent Gen. Brock into Canada to fight Gen. Hull and Col. Cass. Aftei Hull's surrender, Gen. Brock sent an order, through Hull, for Cass to furiender, and Cass like a good honest fellow did as he was told to do.President Polk sent Santa Anna into Mexico to fight Gen. Taylor. After collecting a power ful army numerons enough to eat him up Santa Anna sent an : order to Taylor, that it was not good for his health and of no use for him to fight, and that he should surrender.We never heard that Taylor either broke his sword or came in; but we did h arof the battle of Buena Vista,' We will just ask the locofocos one question Would they not feel ashamed of the Whigs did they come into the field with such a man at their head as Cass, if they, the locofocos bad Taylor for a candidate? We want them just to answer us, and to do it without making any wry faces to get the answer out, It is singular bow intimately, but different ly. they are both connected with the word 'sur render Geit. Cass an old Federalist. We pre sume it has not escaped the observation of our readers, remarks the Daily Philadelphia News, that all the prominent candidates for the Pres idential nomination by the Baltimore Conven tion, were old Federalists, dyed in the wool. I hat a party calling itself "Democratic," and professing a holy horror for the Federalism of the olden time, should now set up its champions and leaders, the men who are the very embody ment of that Federalism, is singularly strange and inconsistent. But then, we are getting used to political paradoxes, of all sorts, and varieties, and are ". not usually disturbed by this last one of the series, Mr. Buchanan, who- -received 55 xotes in the Baltimore Convention, wasone of the most bitter and uncompromising Federalists in Penn sylvania. He opposed Madison and the war, and as every shool-boy knows, went as far in his opposition to Democracy, as to declare that if he had a drop of Democratic blood in his veins, he would let it out." This roan is profuse in his professions of "Democracy," and is held up as an exempler and pattern of that much abused term, by ucrupulous parti-1 zans! Mr. Woodbury, who received 53 votes in the same Convention, wasa Hartford Conventionist, in the late war, and denounced the cause of the country as "unwise and unpatriotic." He wore the black cockade, and gloried in his Federalism! He is now a "Democrat" of the struightest sect, and may be regarded as a fair specimen of what constitutes the modern Democracy r .1 ;- ... Gen. Cass, who has been the successful can-1 didate of the Convention, is more than any of the disappointed candidates, identified with old Federalism, and was, therefore, thought most worthy of the confidence and support of modern democracy! As to Gen. Cass' Federalism, there ran be no doubt. He wore the black cockade, the gr;al distinguishing badge worn by the Federalists in 1800. ;lf any one uoudis tnis statement, we refer them to Nile's Register, the highest authority of the kind in the country. Gen. Cass in his own State. We copy the following from the last number oL the Detroit Advertiser. The high respectability of that paper is a satisfactory guarantee of the perfect truth of the statement: A few days since the following bet was made by a citizen of this county with one of iue tass ueiegates lo .Baltimore, and a warm supporter of Gen. Cass, with the following result. The delegate was gassing high for Gen. Cass, and ready to bet -'any amount." "Mr. bets Mr. , delegate that, if he will address to Gen. Cass a respectful note, asking his opinion upon the propriety of appropriations by the general government for improvements of lake harbors and rivers, if he (Gen. Cass) replies to him, it will not be in favor of such appropriations. The bet is ior a suit ot clothes, worth at least S50. Alter the bet was drawn up ready to si n, the delegate hesitated, as though he wisheofto iane me oacs iracK. iiut, knowing that almost any kind of a bet would be safe, the following one was proposed for another suit giving the 'delegate' two chances to win: 1 hat, if the delegate would address a note to Gen.

Washington, June 6, 1833. Gen, Taylor was directed to pro ceed from Tampa Bay, open a road in nearly an eastern direction into the heart of the country, establish a road at Pese Creek, another on the Kisimmee, and attack the enemy in that quarter. He came up with the enemy on ihe 5j5tb December, attacked them, and, in one of the best J ought actions known to our history, gained a complete victory, though WHf) great toss di ojncern and men, Gen. Cass in New YoRjc.-The following is from the Wayne county (N", Y.) Sentinel, an ardent Locofoco paper,- which. 'reei ving the nomination of Cass and Butler, placed their names unhesitatingly at the head of its Columns. This is really one of the most striking and significant indications that we have seen or could wish to see; Down goes our Cass ticket. We bow to the Democratic sentiment. Rejerence particular! v to the expression upon this question by the Democracy of this assembled district, A number of individuals placed a Cass flag up on the top of the Democratic liberty pole in this village, on Saturday morning ' last. A large meeting of the Democrats of this town, in the evening of the some day, by a unanimous vote, directed the same to be taken down on Monday morning, and it was done. Plain Talk Sound Advice. George Ashmun, an able representative in Congress, and who also represented the Whigs of the 6th Massachusetts district in the National convention, has addressed- his constituents concerning the convention and its Presidential nomination. He says on the first ballot the free States cast one hundred and seventy-one votes; of which one hundred and one were cast for Southern candidates, Mr. Clay and Gen. Taylor.That the North made no earnest aud united claim for a free State candidate that Massachusetts stood alone, among the free Whig States, aided by the votes of New Hampshire, three votes from Maine and one from New York. Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and every other free State except two, went earnestly for a Southern candidate from the start, while Ohio and Indiana, instead of bringing forward Judge McLean or Mr. Corwin, or offering to support a man who was particularly identified with the free States, voted for Gen. Scott. . "What then," he asks, 'have the free States to complain of? I answer, of themselves, and of themselves alone!" He asserts that Gen. Taylor was fairly nominated in a general convention of the Whig party; that "there was no unfairness in the mode of ballotting, every delegate announced his vote viva voce, so that the whole people might hear and see it." And now what are the Whigs of the free States to do? He an swers emphatically support the nomination. They knew before the assembling of the convention as well as they know it now, "that Gen. Taylor was to be a powerful candidate before the convention, and would be urged by a large portion of the Whig party. They knew that he had declared himself a Whig; and, re posing confidence in the patriotic intentions of the convention, they unhesitatingly agreed to take their lot in it. I went there, in good faith, to obtain a concentration of opiuion which would be effectual to the tearing down of the strongholds of that pernicious party which now occupies the high places of our Government. I know no other course by which that great work can be accomplished than by the union of the Whig party. Gen. Taylor was not my preference, but I believe him to be a true Whig, an honest and capable man, opposed to the acquisition of territory, with sound and conservative principles, opposed to further enlarging the bounds of the Union; and, although he lives in the latitude where slavery is tolerated, yet I do not believe that he desires or approves its extension. His declared sentiments are a guaranty that he will never, in the slightest manner, interfere with the action of Congress when it shall forbid the existence of slavery in our newly acquired territories. Let the representatives of the people and of the States be left free to act upon that question, uncontroled by Executive influence and Executive veto, and we are safe." These are words of truth and soberness, and worthy of practical and cordial acceptation. Mr. Ashmun closes as follows; 4 "In the meantime, let us labor to bring back our Government to the paths of peace, of pros perity, and the pursuit of happiness, by placing its high trusts in Whig hands. For, in the words of that citizen of Massachusetts whose fame belongs to the world, while his great heart belongs to his country, whose life has been one of continued self-sacrificing, unrequited labor for the American people in the words of Dan iel Webster, standing in Faneuil Hall:'In the dark and troubled night that is upon us, I see no star above the horizon, promising light to guide us, but the intelligent, patriotic, united Whig paity of the United Slates.'" : Gen. Taylor The Present and the Future. We understand, says the Vicksburgh Whig, by a friend up the river, that Gen. Taylor is to take the place of Gren. Brooks, as com manding officer at New Orleans, and (hat the latter will tesume hi sold command at Jefierson Barracks, Mo. We understand, too, that Gen. Taylor is to take the place of James K. Polk, .Esq., in Washington City, on the 4th of March, and that the latter will resume his old place on the .-banks of Duck river. It is thought thai Mr Cass will ruminate, in the neighborhood of jjetron, on the jorce of "circumsta nces,

From the Louisville Journal. I An Old Eiectioseexing Topic As Inte-

BESTiNa REMisiscENCE.-There is one matter of which every man, Whig or Locofoco, who wasa politician during the Harrison and Van Buren canvass jn 1840, must retain a diainct and vivid recollection We allude t i the me morable Locofococharge against uen. namson, that, whilst he was Governor te- Territory of Indiana, be signed a bill of the territorial Legislature, providing tr.at idle and thriit less uersuija peiuaiug iu um vt lu pw jue tur u ir families should be hired out for services to the highest bidder by the proper authorities, It is true that Harrison did sign such a bill, and we all remember what use was made of the fact by the Locofoco leaders in the campaign of '40. It was the great electioneering topic of the campaign. Fierce and terrible were the denunciations that.were uttered in regard toil. For month and months, in every Locofoco speech that was made upon the stump, in the preamble and resolutions of every LocofocoJ ujCGiiuK i.i)aL rB nc,u iii'iw; tjutuiutu newspaper that was published, and in every Locofoco handbill that was circulated among the eople, the charge was made and dilated on in anguage of the . bitterest -ferocity that the "heartless old miscreant" had actually signed n bill for selling white men intobondagt. Let a Whig go where he would by night or by day, this charge against his venerable candidate was sure to greet Ins ears and eyes at everv corner of the streets.' It was inscribed upon Locofo co banners, it was shouted from Locofoco placeB of revel, and it was bawled from Locofoco processions. -s . And for all this a retribution has come at ! last ' It has been eiht years in cominz. but it is here. If it lias been .slow, t has also been sure. These Locofoco leaders have now a can didate for the Presidency, who as Govern or ot trie territory of Michigan, signed an act preciselyjike that signed by Harrison as Gov ernor oi jncuana, except tnat, in trie Michigan Isw, the punishment of stripes upon the white man's back as well as the sale of his services to the highest bidder was provided for. We take from the Baltimore Patriot the following copy of the Michigan law. Let the Locofoco demagoges read H and let , every word scorch their eye-balls; "AN ACT for the punishment of idle and dis orderly persona, Section I , Be it enacted by the Governor and Judges of the Territory of Michigan, that any justice ot tne peace, on conviction, may sentence any vagrant, lewd, idle, or disorderly persons, stubborn servants, common drunkards, common night-walkers, pilferers, or any persons wanton or "licuncious in speech," in decent behavior, common railers or brawlers, such as neglect tqejr calling and employment, mis-spend what they earn and do not provide tormemseivesor tammes to bewhipt not exceeding ten lashes, or to be delivered over to any constable, to lie employed in tabor notexceeding three months, by such constable to be Aired out for the best wages that can be procured; the proceeds of which to be applied to the use of the poor of the county.

WITHERALL, JOHN GRIFFIN, Judges of the Territory of Michigan. And now to the honest men of the Locofo co party, to the rank aud file, who were con scientious in opposingGen. Harrison irom the conviction, so industriously implanted in their minds by their leaders, that a man, who, as trovernor, had signed a bill for selling the ser vices oi wiiue men, or, as n was men express od, for selling white men into bondage, was unfit to be President, we would make a brief and pointed appeal. Should they, can they; ru ther iww support uewis Cass lor the rre sidency, when they know that he, as Govern or, signed a bill containing not only precisely tne same provision as tnai ior wnich they .so relentlessly opposed ana persecuted the la mented Harrison, but alno a provision far more more revolting to a freemen's sensibilities? Can they with the facts belore them, follow their leaders in the support of Gen. Cass with out sacrificing their consistency, their pride tneir seit-respect, ana tneir claim to the res pect of their fellow-citizens. Thirty Thousand Whigs in Council The postponed Whig Ratification meeting took place last nigh in Monument Square. The eve ning was delightful. Notwithstanding the announcement, that Mr. Webster could not be present, in consequence of severe indisposi lion, and the fact, that a very large meeting was neia last evenning, yet tne people'poured out in thousands from all parts of the city, and ueiore nine ociock uie entire square was densely crowded, presenting a congregated mass of not less than thirty thousand souls. All the windows and doors of the surroundin houses were filled mostly with ladies, who lent their smiles, as if to complete the ratifica tion. The stand was handsomely decorated and a line baud discoursed at intervals most el oquent music. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, who spoke for over two nour? and a halt, and during the whole period so completely enchanted the vast audience that scarcely a person left his post tion from the beginuing to the end of his re marks. We have time only in this brief notice to say that it was one of the ablest and aud most eloquent political speeches we have ever listened to. Every argument was sound and presented so forcibly that conviction must tollow. He was repeatedly and loudly cheer ed, ana though having spoken an unusua length of - time, the ' multitude did hot seem willing that he should stop, which we think is tne nignest evidence of his merit as a sneaker, TT !

(Q-If the Locofocos of Indiana have the least ambition to make even a respectable show of strength at the next election, they had

better appoint a committee 10 kick isiiapmaa out of the State. Here is a paragrapn from a late number of his Indianapolis senti nel:. "Taylor swore that our volunteers were cowards, and of course the Quakers who are Tories and all other Tories will hurrah for him no matter if he had cut the throats of their mothers. The Quakers are numerous in Indiana. Their votes have great influence " upon the result of every election in thatState - They are as virtuous and conscientious a people as can be found on earth, yet here we have a locofoco editor, the principal Locofoco editor of Indiana, the recognized Locofoco oigan of that State, stigmatizing the w hole of them without distinction as " Tories" and saying that they woulJ hurrah for a man "who had cut the throats of their mothers! P' Of course W? do not know how the Quakers will vote at at ivie JNovember election, or whether they wiil vofe at all, but we know that they are the friends of peace, and we do not think-that the Sentinel S denunciation and blackguardism are at all caicula!ed either to force them to vote against Gen. Taylor, who notwithstanding his profession of arms', is fervent in his devotion to the spirit of peace, or to drive them into voting for Cass,, who, from his youth up to Jus nearly three score and terf, has been raging for war, and whose thoughts are as bloody ay the dreams of a famished tiger, Lon.

Tavlor did nothing during the battle of Buena Vista, but sit on old Whitey and say 'fight 'em,' boys, fight 'em.M Although the old chieftain guided all the great movements upon that, immortal field, it is not claimed by his friends that he made any speechesduring the battle half as long as those Mr, Bright sometimes makes in the Senate. Possibly he did not deem it an occasion for overmuch oratory. Sitting calmly upon his eld war-horse in the midst of the iron storm that was hurling through the air from the-innumerable batteries of the fcnemy, a few brief sentences such as 'fight 'em, boys, fight 'em," and "a little more grape, Capt. Bragg," constituted the sum total of all his efforts at, rhetorical display. Lord Wellington, at the most critical moment of the battle of Waterloo, merely said "up guards and at 'em. Probably if Senator Bright had commanded either at Waterloo or Buena Vista, he would diave made a terrible stump speech to his soldiers full five hours long', but he would have been very careful to select a stump where he would have been in no danger of having his speech hissed by tht balls.- Lou. Jour. . Removal of Mr. Mitch el. The Dublin Freeman contains the following account of the departure of Mr. Mitchel: , ..,, Precisely as the prison clock struck four, on Saturday afternoon, the convent van drew up at the front entrance of Newgate, and was immediately surrounded by two squadrons of dragoons, under the command of Col. Maunsell and Col. Gordon. In a few minutes an official, bearing the warrant for Mr. Mitchel's removal, entered the prison and delivered the same to the high Sheriff. The mounted police and dragoons, with drawn sabres, formed four tleep around the van. The door-way having been opened, Inspector Selwood gave the word at the prison gate, "aH is ready." One of the turnkeys then came forth with a bundle of clothes, which were understood to be the convict dress, and threw it into the van. - Precisely at eight minutes past four, the gates were opened, and Mr. Mitchel came forth with a firm step and firm demeanor. He wore a brown frock coat, light waistcoat, and dark trowsers, and had a light glazed cap upon his head,' the hair appearing to be closely cut. His hand and right leg were heavily manacled, and fast ened to each other by a ponderous iron chain He cast one quiet, dignified glance about, an recognizing a friend who called out "Mitchel,1 bowed and shook hands with him. He was then assisted into the van, accompanied by four or five inspectors of police. The door was immediately banged to, and the cortege moved forward at a double quick trot up Bolton street, and thence by the Circular road to the JNorth all, where the Sheer water Govern ment steamer was lying in readiness. - Ihe cautions taken to prevent any attempt at rescue on me way to tne place ot embarca tion were eliectual. .there was, however some rioting at Seville place, on the North Mrand, where the police were assailed by moo, me cniei teauers 01 wnien were women ... .1. .L 1 r t ' Oneamazon ivas conspicuous bv her darin She hurled stones and brickbats with unerrin aim at the heads of the constabulary, cursin lustily the cowardice of the men of Dublin ing the fighting to the women. .'All the efforts of the police to effect her capture were useless, ana she finally escaped- in Ihe crowd 01 combatants.

THE SLAUGHTER AT NAPLES. The: Loudon letter mentions that two thousand lives were lost at Naples in the outbreak of May 1 5. The correspondent of the Loudon Daily News gives a narrative of the events of the day, which we have abridged: Every house seems to show the greater mag--nitude of the Joss of life on Monday, the 15th, and the horrors connected with it. Enough I have seen to enable me to speak of this terri' . ble disaster as the greatest which has befallen any city in modern limes, whether as regard the carnage of the destruction ' of property. Upwards of two thousand persons sacrificed! Such is the enormous loss in which all seem now to agree. I went last night to inquire for a gentleman who resides near me, Melga, proprietor of the Crocelle, in Chiatamine, and found that he had been shot on - Monday and buried the same night, tossed into a pit, with hundreds of others, and lime thrown upon thein. . . , t 'v I met a person who, being at Campo Santa, had seen seven bodies all of one family bro't in; they were loufid in a well, and were supposed to have been thrown in, or else have thrown themselves iu to avoid the soldiery. The common voice goes on to speak of women and children being - shot as well as men, or placed on '.heir.knees in monetary expectation of death, while their bouses were rifled of every thing. So late as Wednesday afternoon I was again wandering through this city of sor

row, and I passed down Santa Brussiva.' Near the church was assembled a "crowd, horrorstruck and silent..- There had been a little rain, which had disturbed the rubbish, and men , were called in to' wash down the steps and street, which was running tldwn a river of blood and water. - 4 v . Here there had been great carnage; on th is spot poor Melga and three others had been shot; in the next house, on the ground floor alone, asmany more had been hacked to pieces by ihs soldiery, who had broken through at the back of the church to get at them. - Take these as feeble, descriptions of a thousand similar horrors. The aspect of this city is beyond description sad;, this usually gay and cheerful city is now comparatively deserted, houses burned, ruined, or robbed, shops generally shut. Most have fled. The houses in the suburbs are filled with poor families, who are too. happy to have escaped with their lives. Very many are rlad in recent mourning, and all -are agitated by a huudred rumors which point to some approaching and "more te.ri ble disaster. God preserve us Irom itj . ' .. One of thg most disgraceful features of this affair has been the plunder on the part Of the '- soldiery and the lazzaroni. This "is an undoubted fact. " I saw them running .by ; my house with the most valuable articles for two days and a night, exutlingover what they deemed their lawful robbery, and shouting "Viva il Re!" It is said they were encouraged to rob by the soldiers, certainly they were not prevented, and that day and the day after it is equalIy certaiu that a paister a peace was. distributed to them. There were a , fraternizing . between the soldiers and the mob. The burning rage against the' Swiss soldiers ' is iutenser; aud assassinations will take off, many. The night before last st-veral were . murdered; yesterdaytnorning more than one were shot, from whence or by whom no one ' knows. It must have been by fulmiuating cotton. One poor fellow was borne by me on a , streatcher as I was walking in the Toledo. Later in the day a druggist told me that fir three'days a young man had been to purchase a pound of fulminating cotton, but that he had refused it, suspecting something . wrong. These lacts do not increase in us a sense ofse -curity.- . - , . . .The King has pardoned all the prisoners taken for the act of Monday, many of whom were taken in arms and some of whom had cannou in their palaces. Prince t Cerilla aud: his sous .were the first who were liberated. I was present on Thursday evening in a irg . crowd watching them as they were let uut. -Some were wounded; others without hats aud half dressed. , People are now going lo Campo Santo to search for their friends among - the dead, who are being continually carried there. 1 was on the road yesterday, but personal security is so doubtful that I ran great risk. Even at this hour, one o'clock in the day, and while in company with friends, two men passed me, onecu each side, and made a dart at inc. J hud put on my walch and chain for the first time. They took only my handkerchief, which wasiu my bosom, turning round I, collared one man and dragging him into a shop, searched him; he had not got it. I then rau out and laid hold of another, who delivered it up. I dared uot pursue him farther; there was no policeman or soldier to whom 1 could- have ' given him up. One of the by-standers ex claimed, "Che Corraggio!" Why you will not bent loss toguess, because it was just as like- ' ly as not that I should have had a knife-thrust. Such is the present condition of Na'ples. Up to this day tbe railways have been closed; this morning they have been opened 'agaiu. . Every order of government," 1 see, is signed by La brano, Governor of Naples, the city being in a state of seige. . The theatres are to be opened at his discretion. All crowds in the streets are to immediately- dispersed by the soldiery. Except the official journal, ', nothing has been sold or printed since Monday. The official Journal of late last night has the following orders for the military governor 6f Naples. It4s forbidden to ed tors a ml printers to prjnt placards and journals to be sold in tbe. capital.
