and the adjoining counties. From the east came brge and respectable procession, led by the College Corner Band, and from the west the Browusville and Springersville Glee Clubs. During the assembling of the people a handsome streamer was stretched across the street, from the court house I. Estep's Uvern. With the exception of the rain during the day, and the absence of some speakers that we had fond y hoped would be present, all was agreeab!y duappointment; the people hav ing assembled ... uuuiuen, iar surpassing any ining oeiore wu- , nessed in this place during the present campaign.

vjeuerai layior. uui ne was nominated. At that time the contest was between Taylor and other distinguished Whigs it U now between Taylor and Cass, and to him, the way as to what course he should take, appeared clear. He here asked them to indulge him in briefly f . . - , t referring to some rennnusceuces of the past, say-! Ing that important lessons were sometimes to be learned by reference to the past. He then hriuflo r.r.r.l f .1..-.: J " j . i-1 1 1 u .u vicv;iiuus auu ttuiiuuitiirations of John Q. Adams and General Jackson, and spoke ia terms of approbation of the former administration, and contended that the measures i i . . . t..eu crneo oui, were me measures contended for by the whig party at the present time. The whigs were in favor of the election of General Tavlnr nn1 tt ...... 11..J 1 i ! . - - ...... . . 11 a aumveu u in uu jection against them that they had laid down no platform of principles. This was not necessary, ae they uniformly advocated the same measures. For the progressive democracy it became necessary, as they continually had some new feature to add to their measures. Under the administration of James K. Polk, a new era began, In which the peace principle of Washington had been abandoned, and the principle of conquest became the leading measure of the administration. About the time that James K. Polk was nom inated came the agitation of Texas annexation. Iu the convention, in May, 1544, which brought out Polk, Texas and Oregon were inscribed on the democratic banner. The country was at that time warned against the incipient measures of annexation, and the entire Whigs of the North, with many Whigs of the South opposed the annexation of Texas, -"-Jg:-nT-'.iLl niir with Mexico would be the consequence of annexation. What was prediction at that time, has since become history. The measure was commenced under Jonn Tyler and perfected under James K. Polk. Every Whig Senator from the North voting against it, and but three from the South voting In favor of it Ha then dwelt briefly npon the result of the war; the Immense pecuniary expense to the United States, added to which was Ihe loss of twenty-five thousand lives of brave hearted Americans, who had found Inhospitable graves in a foreign land; for which the cries of lamentation and woe were now ascending to heavon. He had denounced the war from iu beginning, as a war of conquest; yet it was denied by the democrats; but time had proved that the conquest of Mexican territory and the annexation of Texas was for one and the same purpose. The people were now to decide in the coming presidential election whether these measures of the administration were to be endorsed and justified. Did any believe if General Cass should be elected it would be thn end of than. rv,a He believed if General .i,.,i.i ...... a ... ... t.u. " """"l ........ imunavut year wouia oe renewed, and not stop till in tho languaga of Cass, we have -swallowed the whole of Mexico." He here briefly refered to measures advocated by General Cass in regard to Yucatan, the island of Cuba, alledging the secret of these measures to be the extension of slavery. And now, if there was any person present in favor of the annexatinn nf T A . ..i H . ... v, u.b war wun jiexico, lah.ng possession of Yucatan, annexing the island of Cuba and "swallowing the whole of Mexico," for the propagation of slavery; let him vote for Gen. Cass, and he would be consistent. With such an individual he had no controversy. Had Clay been elected in '44, he (Mr. S.) believed it would have prevented the extension of the institution of slavery. He here refered to the position of General Taylor, as it was to be drawn from hi. letters, and denied the power of proving him in favor of the extension of slavery. He showed the fallacy of the charge that had been made against General Taylor, viz: that he had repudiated Millard Fillmore, by reading Taylor's own language in respect to Fillnore, as found in his late Allison letter. ... . ' "'however' aP to conclude that I Southern men were in favor of the extension of slavery, but the inference would not hold good in all instances. i He referred them to the views, feeling and ! actions of Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and called upon them to remember that from U,e lhe laltr" the ordinance of 17S7, tn which th. .!.;,.. r T-.i: . I t0 w"ic" llie citizens of Indiana were greatly ! ,ntlel,le, Ior the "berty they enjoy. He also referred to votes that had been given by Southern slaveholders at different times in opposition to the extension of slavery. He said he mentioned these things to show that the inference was not a fair one. He also referred to the printed circulars sent into the South by the Jackson Democrat Central Committee at Washington City, for the purpose of showing that General Taylor was opposed to the extension of slavery. He Mr. S. believed that General Taylor would do no act either directly or indirectly to further the institution of slavery, and had no doubt but he would sanction the Wilruot Proviso. But he had heard democrats assert that Cass' position was the only safe one for those who opposed the extension of slavery. It put him in j mind of the assertion "made in M4 that the nexation of Texas would be the means of putting down slavery in Virginia and Kentucky. He then referred to Martin Van Buren said

t irys. w.i - .'rttii. . . . .

he had opposed his election in 40, and with the exception of his opposition to the extension of slavery, was no particular friend to his policy yet. lie then referred to the anathemas and approbrium heaped upon Corwin and other distinguished Whigs, by the Free Soil party, for the course they had taken respecting the war and the presidential election. He showed that they who now bear the anathemas of that party, had opposed the annexation of Texas, and the war, while their own chosen standard bearer, the

Lvery county in the State was represented: aud the Convention, bv a unanlmnn AanA ,if . w v rw mvi vuo dissenting, ratified and adopted the nomination 0f Taylor and Fillmore. A gentleman, who was present, writes: i . .

"Not a whisper of disunion or dissent was, eerers, leaving the duties of their stations to go heard! Every Whig delegate from every Whig ' "broad and make demagogue speeches!

They have shown, too. - v wiwavica BUIVUg tliO by statistical consultation, that if the Whigs work on as they are working now and poll their full vote, as they are now promising to poll it, the Whig majority here in November will be thousands upon thousands. No disturbance of any amount exists among the Whigs of this State, except in the minds of dreamers in two or three of its cities or large towns. The agricultural population ia as immovable In its devotion to the Whig party as the Catskill mountain rocks. There is no (what is called) Clay party, distinct from the Taylor party. There are no Clay men of any amount that are not Taylor men. The ticket, and the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket, is the cry. They who use other lan guage, than this in the great Interior of this S late are dupers or the duped. The;Barnburners detach some of onr old companions in some parts of the State, but every Whig thus lost is made up by two new voters (or more) from the Locofoco ranks. We shall speak better, clear er, louder, and more emphatically than have e- 1 yen the gallant Whigs of Vermont, whose turn it was first to breast this new Van Buren thunder-gust. All wa have to do Is to plant, tow, plow, hoe and reap." Tho utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed in tho Convention more than has been known in a Whig Convention in that State for years. The Hon. Hamilton Fkh was nominated for Governor, and Geo. W. Patterson for Lieutenant Governor. The whole phalanx of Whig editors in the State, with one exception, are battling manfully for tho cause, and that one ia doing some good. Van Buren Is known at home Whigs don't trust him. Nrw Vrlu One of the Van Buren men, of the old school, from New York, as we learn, and a well informed man too, gays there is no chance for Cass or Van Buren in that State, and it is as euro for Taylor and Fillmore as that they will live. Another very prominent Cass man there, informed a friend of ours recently, that there was no cnance tor Cass, nor did they calculate upon his carrying the State; but he said they would fix the matter so that Mr. Van Buren should not get it, at all events. The simple truth of this whole matter is, that it is a Kilkenny cat fight, between the Cass and Van Buren factions, in which each is eager to have Taylor elected, in order to make sura the defeat of the opposite side of their own cronies. That is just the whole story. Some few of the simple Whigs may be orawn on oy over verdancy; but the great body will stand firm .n ....... -.4 ..u ' to th. Presidency g Oen Tavlor alBarM.IiMh.

Carrapondcnee mj the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Sept. 25th, 143. The Administration is alarmed! The Gov

ernment office-holders are in the field, in spite i uic Buiiioiiiuous ana warnings of Jefferson and of Jackson, andare neglecting their official duties to interfere with the elections which are going on. Look at the Central Locofoco Committee on Electioneering. Who are its members? General Furioso Eustamente Foote, Senator from Mississippi, stands at its head. Next is William J. Brown, Second Assistant Postmaster GeneralAnd the next and lest ia Edmund Burke, Commissioner of Tateuts. Brown directs and franks electioneering documents by the cart load-makes bets oil Cass' ""r'iiou.ates trie country tmUa partizanspeecl.es. In doing all this, he cannot be much of the time in his office. Does the Government, which pays him a salary of 2 -500, justify him in leaving his office to electioneer for Cass? Burke, who cannot make speeches or mingle with the people, like Brown, can write all sorts of unscrupulous Locofoco editorials for the official organ. He does work of this nature with a zest and a zeal, for which he is notorious. Does the Government pay him a salary of $3,000 to neglect the duties of his office to interfere in elections. Do Brown and Burke remember and heed the declarations of Jefferson, and Jackson on this subject. Tho other day, this Mr. Second Assistant Postmoster General Brovn made a Cass speech at a Locofoco gathering In Bladensburg. He was announced as Mr. Brown, of Indiana! More recently, a Locofoco meeting was held in another part of Maryland, ut Marlborough, and two of the speakers, as editorially announced !n the Washington Union, were General McCalla, of Kentucky, and Mr. B. F. Brown, of Ohio. Now, this General McCalla is an office-holder in this city the Second Auditor of the Treas i"ry.at a salary of $3,000!

Does the Government pay him aud his clerk Brown to attend to the duties of their stations, or to waste their time In interfering iu election,? In addition to these gentry, and the work of sundry salaried clerks aud messengers in the Executive Departments, iu the way of toting and directing and distributing Locofoco documents, the services of Mr. Folk's superintendent of the Penetentiary, Mr. C. P. Sengstack, are called into requisition! Transparencies and transparent lanterns for the use of Locofoco processions, are manufactured there, it is understood, by wholesale, but whether by the convicts or not, is a matter yet unknown to the public. Cart loads of Locofoco pamphlets, in part signed by Sengstack himself, are said to be taken there to be directed and made ready to cumber the mails. Does the Government pay J . 1. . . n ..... ocugsiacK iweuiy-nve nunarea dollars a year to set the laborers in the Penitentiary to making electioneering lanterns and other transparencies, and directing electioneering documents, Instead of working at their respective tasks upon articles that would sell!
