Norris, THIS EVENING, at early candle lighting, t make preparatory arrangements The attendance of every member is earnestly requested. Congress. The Senate, on the night of the 10th inst., parsed the Oregon bill, so amended as to give the iower to the Governor, and to embrace the Missouri compromise. On the passage the vote flood yens U3, nays 20. In the House the Senate amendment to the civil bill, appropriating j$.jO,000 for the payment of the A minted negroes was rejected, as was also tho bill providing fur a survey of California by Fremont. Tin' bill abolishing postage on newspapers within " miles of the place where printed, was debated, and a committee of conference was apointcd on the subject matter of difference between the two Honors. The Oregon bill, with Senate amendments thereto, wa taken up. The question being on the uinendmcnt givir-g the Governor the veto power, it was loat yeas Jfci, nays 100. Tho question next being on the amendment emLrncing the Missouri compromise, it was lost yeas nays 121. The Plot. Speaking of a plot cn foot to defeat Taylor and elect Cass, the Indiana State Journal ays : The free-soil movement will hi? teized upon by I.ocnfocoism to aid it. .Many of that party will lend tii i;elves for that purpose. To deceive Whigs into that movement, they will be ' froe-soi! men ' nntil the day f the election, and then secretly vote for Cms. Shrewed tnnn, that of the Journal, can't fool him ! (.'. Signal. Yes, the Journal man is very cute ; so much to, that he cheats himself sometimes, and pretty often too ! He now thinks, or says he doca, that Taylor is to get a great majority in November! Fool who 1 Wauted, Immediately, a Taylor Whig, or any other kind of a whig, to remove into the county of Brown, and State of Indiana, there being none in that region. Any such can be assured of the nomination for any Hie? in the "gift of the people," and may become a standing candidate, second only to the "Great Embodiment.' Applications to be made to "Old Zack." Wjiitev," fxcy. CO" The Journal is very anxiously tendering its advice to the Abolitionists, and to the Barnburners, as to the course proper for them to pursue in the present crisis. The Journal is no doubt pittcerelv friendly to both, at least it docs not hate' the Abolitionists quite as bitterly as does its Taylor coadjutor of the I.rookville American. The advice of the Journal is very valuable too, no doubt. It manages the affairs ! rt the whig party so successfully, that the A s. and I', should be extremely careful how they disregard in ypry discreet suggestions. Our neighbor of the Journal is still endeavoring to explain the cause of the recent Whig defeat in this State, talks especially about the apportionment bill, a? giving us tho advantage, &c. Did the Journal suppose, before the e lection, that it gave tid the advantage in this countyl Not at all! The votes of tho people did the business for Tayiorism. The apparent advantage was on the side of Whiggory. So we thought: Fo the Journal thought. Neither of us think so now, however : Hut the Journal thinks it necessary to keep up the pirita of its friends by whistling. Illinois. One ister State is more Democratic than ever. The Central district, as we learn from the Hcgister is redefined from Whiggery, Harri", dem. beating Taylor whig, 140 votes. Col.

A despatch dated Washington, Aug. 11th, pays The Whigs have given up the Governor, but contend that the Legislature is still doubtful." Hurrah f.r old Rip Van Winkle ! Cumberland Uoad. In tho House of Congress, o-i ;he 8th inst., Mr. Schenek, of Ohio, from the Committee on Uoads and Canals, reported a bill in favor of surrendering to the State of Indiana a portion r f the National Road to that State. The bill was read a third time and passed. fjT-One of the seven editions of Taylor's life Bloodhound incident excepted was pedled about the streets before the election at 5 cents each. The Journaljnow offers the Fame at 2 cents each. They will be a drug at that. An edition of his letters (post paid) would go rff better. 07-Will Mrs. Sarah Silvers please call or eend to this office, where she can hear of something to her advantage. Extra Pat. The attention of Volunteers who are entitled to extra pay, is called to an article on the subject, in another column.

The Volunteers vs. Taylor. Die Whig humhuggers at the Philadelphia Convention liever made n greater mistake than when they nominated Taylor, in the hope and expectation that they could thus obtain the votes of the volunteers. We never for a moment believed that their trick would win ; we understood the why and wherefore of oil the Taylor anecdotes, which wore manufacted to gull the flats at home, and we thought the volunteers would know their purpose and their falsity. But we confess we were hardly prepared for the recent almost universal manifestations against Taylor by the volunteers. Those of Indiana have peculiar and personal reasons for opposing him, beyond what others have. Nevertheless, in all the other States from which we have any indications at all, Taylor appears to be quite as unpopular as in Indiana. From our papers of the day, wc take the follow

ing A letter dated Brownsville, Pa., July 19, says "The volunteers are returning from Mexico, shouting loud for Cass and Butler. One hundred of them passed through this place this morning all for C133 and Butler." Noticing the statement of a whig paper, that Col. Black was for Taylor, the Pennsylvanian soys: 'Colonel Black is no more for General Taylor than are Colonel Wynkoop, Major Brindle, .Major Bowman, Colonel Greary, and the great mass of the officers and men of bnth Pennsylvania regiments. They go for the party that did not advise the Mexicans to welcome theiu with "bloody hands" to "hospitable graves." An incident occurred at BclUvillc, about fourteen miles from the city of Washington, thus related by a correspondent of the Union : "The Baltimore train of cars 1 ad stopped, containing 123 volunteers returning from Mexico. They belonged to this city and the neighboring counties of Maryland. It was proposed by some one to give three cheers for Taylor. It was answered by the mover and but one solitary noldier. Three cheers were then proposed for our glorious ticket, Cuss and Butler; and they were given in thunder tones; nuch as have never waked up the echoes from the hills of old Maryland 124 volunteers, and most of the passengers in the cars joining in the soul-stirring shout." A letter dated Memphis, Tennessee, July 17, bays: "The campaign will opeu warmly hero ; but the more Gen. Taylor's positions arc examined, the less claim has he tiron the voters. To my astonishment, the volunteers from this State uro nearly equally divided, though I had thought three-fourths would go for Taylor. The Columbia, Term., Recorder gives an account of a number of Huntsville (Ala.) volunteers who passed through that place on their way homo. On the boat oji which they citno up the river, there were two hundred volunteers, and on taking a vote on tho Presidentini question, there was a majority of RID for Cass und Butler. After leaving the boat they procured a hirge flag wi'.h the inscription, "just in time for Cass and Ifuller," and this they unfurled to the breeze, as they left Columbia, saying that il should announce their arrival ut home, and show to their friend' in Alabama, how the volunteers stood upon the Presidential question. Cupt. Weaver's gallant company of volunteers from Richland county, met a glorious reception by the citizens of old Mansfield. A dinner was prepared at tho Wiler House, and a number of patriotic toasts were given. In the evening bonfires blazed along the principal streets. The Shield und Banner says that the gallant boys, Capt. Weaver und all, looked well, though somewhat reduced in person. To a inun, the name paper add;, they ge for Clus and Uutler. Ohio Statesman. Even the Mississippinn9 who were ho extravagantly puffed by Taylor at the expense of others, will not go for hirn. The "Mississippian" of a late date, has the following on the subject : Gen. Taylor and the Volunteer?. Wo have conversed with several of the oflicers and privutcs of the Second Mississippi regiment, now just returned from Mexico, and have found that there is not a democrat among them who will not vote for Cass and Butler; but what is more cheering still, there arc many who left their homes as whigs, but who return umong us rcolv d to act with that party who justified tho war, and were ready at all times to vote for tho application of all necessary means for its vigorous prosecution. A well-infcrmed officer of the 2d Regiment assures us that the same feelings In regard to the presidency, which animates the bosoms of the Missi'sippians, likewise prevail with the North Carolina and Virginia volunteers, and willi all others with whom he has mingled. The story has gone abroad that the officers and privates of the 1st Mississippi Hilles, will all vote for Gen. Taylor. There is not a word of truth in it so far as the statement relates to the democrats of that immortal band of citizen soldiers. From their Illustrious commander, Col. Jeff. Davis, to tho "high privates," there is not one who went to the Held a democrat, who is not so now, and every one of them will vote for Cass and Butler. Vou could not oiler the patriotic volunteer a greater insult than to say to him, because Gen. Taylor has shown hitiwlf a warrior, we presume you will surrender your principles, and vote for him." The proposition is insulting to any, but to none more so than to the volunteer soldier. It is the name with tho Arkansas boys. The Helena Journal relates the following : The Htcamcr Charles Hammond papsed by here on Saturday last, with a large number of returned volunteers on board. While stopping nt the wharfboat, a few whigs of our town halloed hurrah for Taylor ! Not a Bound was heard on board the boat, no response was made, except by one, who halloed hurrah for Clay ! An old soldier on board the steamer then raised a ehout for Cass and Butler ! The volunteers took it up, and cheered warmly and strongly for (Jens. Cass and Butler. Another steamer, the Duroc, stopped here on Sunday evening, with a large number of volunteers 011 board, returning home to Michigan. Several of the soldiers stated to some of our citizens, that there wero but twenty whigs in the whole regiment from Michigan, numbering eight hundred men. These whigs expected to catch the soldiers ! But they can't tornc it. The soldiers aro for Cass and Butler. Helena, Arkansas, Journal. But even the "regulars" who can get a chance to vote will not all go for Taylor. Witness the follow ing No longer a Win. Wc had the pleasure of seeing Capt. B. F. McDonald, of the U. S. A., on his way home from Mexico, during his sojourn at the "Beverly" in this city. He is a citizen of Georgia, and when he went to Mexico was a full-blooded whig; but return a democrat, resolved to vote for Caps and Butler. So they go ! Theahove wo clip from the Maysvillc Flag of the 2Gth. We know McDonald like a book. A most gallant man he is, who was among the foremost in all of Lane's operations about Puebla. Cincinnati Enq. 07" John Minor Botts, one of thu most distinguished whigs in the nation, and characterised by that party as a "terror to locofccoism," has let himself loose upon Gen. Taylor after the following stylo: "With what consistency or propriety can wc condemn Mr. Polk for taking from the Senate a mere cirilian, a Lieutenant General, to place over experienced military men, and tor looking to the ranks of private life for his Brigadiers, Colonel?, Majors, &c, when we propose to look to the camp for a wiere soldier, who has never occupied the humblest position in civil life, to take charge of the affiiirs of this entire nation, foreign and domestic, to the exclusion of tho wisest, most experienced, and most trustworthy statesman 0) the age." Gen. CassV Personal Character. Abbot Lawrence, the great Massachusetts whig, in a speech at a Taylor meeting at Burlington, last week, made this remark of the democratic candidate for the presidency. "I know him well, I have broken bread with him in his own house, and he with me in mine. He is a gentleman a man of unblemished personal character, ngainet which nothing can justly bo said."

Can't take the Till. At a recent whig meeting, numerously attended, in Dutchess county, N. V., the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we have no confidence; in Zachary

; Taylor, and cannot as northern whigs cousciertiously I support him for the Presidency. ' Ocr from the Foul Party." Joseph R. Williams, a leading whig of the State of Michigan, and 'delegate t the Philadelphia C invention, has written a letter to the anti-Taylor Convention ut Worcester, Mass., in which he says: I think that every consideration of justice and policy were trodden down by the nomination at Philadelphia." A letter from Washington, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, states that Mr. Botts snys he will go home, sit in the shade, smoke cigars, drink mint juleps, and vote for whoever is most popular whether he be Gerret Smith, John P. Hale, Gen. Taylor or Gen. Cass, as such is now the whig creed. 'Mouthing horror of the Mexican war, wuilingthc murder of a nation, which did but defend its own soil, railing at a feeble but ambitious President, and his mercenary ruffians, in whose footsteps, puddled blood, whose presence was foul crime; whiggery elevates to the highest station and largest power him whom, had he been a democrat, herself would have named the " bull-rufiian" of LocohVoisiu. Is it possible that mortal man can be deluded by the mere nuniir.ery of inconsistency under which this piebald, spavined par ty, are trying to get into power! Wc opine not." ! C"i. Herald. Itimawny Mavcs in Kentucky. The Muysville Rigle of the ltli int., t:.tes that some thirteen slaves, nearly all men, ran away from that county on the Saturday nigl.l previous.

CO" Michigan paper pays the following tribute to one of our Senatorial Elector, Judge Chamberlain. Wc believe that Judge Chamberlain has not his superior in understanding the questions of the times, in that State, and wo know that a moro reliable democrut, und honest man does not breathe within her borders. His democracy is anchored fast to JcflcrKonian principles, and has ever been found doing battle fur his country, whether assailed by outward or inner foes. Courteous to his opponents, lirm to his principles mid friends, ho is tmru to receive a hearing from the people, wherever ho may huvc occasion to address them. Indiana. This State being the second in importance, in what was once the great Northwestern Territory, which we have always contended would go entire for Cass and Puller, wo have watched her election with much interest.

It ia not necessary, at this time, that I should make an ciposition of my present position, mlficc it to say that 1 nni nn ultra whig' oiih that regards principle a paramount to every other consideration, and theretorc, cannot conscientiously aid in the elevation ol any man who was willing Mo accept a nomination from a National Convention, bhouM such be held, for the Presidency, from the whigs or democrats, or fiom both, should nny think proper to render it, without being pledged, or even considering uiysell so, to advocate the opinion or views or opinion of cither.' As (Jen.

JOHN PORTKUr Put herf i.s a taller one yet ! No Je-s than the President of tho late Whig State Conventim of Illinois ! ro copy from the Pegister: Anotlior Convert to Dciitocrüry I ! TO MT OLII WHIG FKIKNDI. (J r.NTr.KMF.N : Under ordinary t irruiintanres, I should scarcely venture to obtrude any ell'iiaiou of my feelings and sentiments upon tho public attention. If any apology is required, let it ho found in the column f the Journal of .Monday last, which asol-, not only my political, but my private character and business, in ns-tlc f tingi ntle'manly ahuso and low ulgarity , excelled only by the ba-e falsehood of its statements. This attack of the Journal upon vie i doubtless intended to terrify and heat into submission other whts, irAo, like me, arc leaving their ranks. Tiny nre welcome, to make un example d me. All I ask, is the right of explaining to my whig friends the reasons which induce this change in my political sintimeiil and aspirations. It is well that we live in a Intnl ol libcity and republican institutions, where tho intolerant and procriplive spirit manifested by the Journal is compelled to con I I, r. rill fine its Vf ngeanee upon thosy who dare to spurn its die- j talioti to impotent words 1 need not say that, in advocating the principles of the bite whig party, I honestly believed the recognition of those principles in the ndmini-ilratiou of the government to ho essential to tho well'iiu of our country : end, with equal sincerity, regarded the principles of the democratic party as mischievous in their tendency, and destructive in their application to the management o( national aifaus. Put 1 consider thu experience of tho last tvvdve )eurs sntlicient to convince every candid mind as it has convinced my own that the principles and measures of the democratic party are drawn from tho true theory of republican government, best calculated to secure thn perpi tuity of our free institutions, and lo nltain that primary end ot all government, 44 tho greatest good of tho greuteit number." The party with which I acted advocated a national bank as mi indispensTTtlte ngcnl in carrying on tho financial operations of the government, in bunplyiug a sound currency, and regulating exchanges. The democratic party rejected this principle, wss triumphantly suslained bv the people on tepeuted trials; rmd thu independent treasury system now Maud in vindication of the w isdom ol its policy. For the lact is established in the face of nil the world, and has buceme u settled principle in the minds of the people, that the system is better adapted lo the sale ntid easy management of our financial nll'airs, ntiords a more sound currency, and keeps the exchanges at lower and more uniform rates than ever was, or can be, realized from a bank. A g jrotcetire tariff is another article of whig faitfi denned necessary for the encouragement of Ameiican industry, and the protection of out manufactures from foreign" competition. Tho people have decided against the whig party also in this. A tariff law, the oflspring of democratic policy, is now in operation, and has now received tho marked approval of the people. Under its mild and beneficent operition, the revenues of tho country have increased beyond all precedent; American industry has been rewarded with abundant employment aud high prices ; manufactories have grown up all over the land as if by magic, making enormous dividends; and so far from rpjaihng under foreign competition, our people nre sending the products of their looms and workshops to Purope, underselling tho Pnglish manufacturer nt his own door. To increase duties for mere protection, would only bo to rob millions of consumers for tho beuclit of u few hundreds of rich producers. I might refer to many other questions of policy, in which tho deliberate judgment of the country has been given r.gaitikt the whigs, and in favored" the democrats. It is true, that success may not always bo the criterion of merit; but when tho people deliberately, year alter year, and under every variety of circumstances, uniformly decide the same questions in the same way, the presumption is alinoft inevitable, lhat their v rdie.t is right. And if any further reason wero necessary for acquiescing in this fixed expression of tho popular will.it may bo found in the fact before referred to; that disaster, contusion, and speedy repeal have followed close upen the success of whig measures in Congress; whilu great national advancement, an tmterrupted career of prosperity und glory, in peaco and war, and a popularity which insures peimancticy, attest tho wisdom and fitness to the condition of tho country and tho spirit of the age, of democtatic measures. Is it not time, then, that tho principles of tho whig party wero repudiated? Acting for myself, I do repudinle them, and adopt others which lime and the expcitetico of the country commend to my approval. The irhig party, too, coming to tho same conclusion, convinced that the country will not endure whig princiJ'les, has formally renounced nod repudiated them. Uy refusing in its national convention to reaffirm its old principles, by abandoning the great 44 embodiment " of them, and nominating n man confessedly destitute of both political principles and experience, it has tlcctt cd its own dissolution, and lell every whig tree, in the language of Judge I.ogau, to 4' wipe out and begin iinow." The whig party, having become ashamed ol Us principles, and abandoned thrm, surely is not in n condition to condemn me for adding tu my abandonment of whig principles an abandonment of tho whig party! I repudiate tho whig party, because I cannot approve its course in reference lo the late war with Mexico. 1 rwgaid tho war as just and unavoidable on our part ; having been forced into it by aggressions and actual hostility on the part of .Mexico.

I love my counlrv more than Mexico: and while, cordially approving the etlorts of liio administration to conduct the war vigorously ami close it honorably, 1 cannot but condemn the factious opposition of tho whigs, which has embarrassed thu government, prolonged the war, nnd increased its virulence. I do not wish my vote to he placed by the side of the vote of Corwin, (liddinjis and otheis, whose unoHtriotic course in Cormrtss and fclsewheie identifies them with thu tones of the revolution and the federalists O .. .. of tho last war with (ireat ftiitain.

He stands among the most eminent of American stammen, having spent the bci-t portion of n long lifo in the service of his country. His prompt and efTccttnl interference to prevent the consummation of the quintuple treaty, got up by Knglahd to enable her to pcizo und search American ships, ami annoy American commerce, evinced the power of bin intellect, tho fervency of his patriotism, nnd the watchfulness with which he guarded the int.-rests of his country, fto man who ossails Cinerat Cusm fortliH, nnd ihus virtually condemns the principle lor the maintenance of which we fought England, ought to receive the confidence of an American constituency. lo auch can receive my vote. As a military man, 1 admire and love Gen. Taylor,and would rather add a thousand, than pluck one laurel fiom his brow. Cut, according to his own statement, lie has yet to begin to learn tlioso things which pertain to the duties of the presidency. I believe that tho democratic parly aj.precialo his services as highly ns the whigs; that it is not so much fui attachment lo tho man, that the whigs support liiin,ns it is from a hope that, by abandoning their principles, and converting his military reputation into electioneering capital, they can succeed in getting control of thu spoils of office. Having no intimation cither from his own declarations or those of the convention thnt nominated him, what principles he expects to adopt, or how hu stands upon great national questions, 1 decline "going it blind," and prefer supporting Cas and llutltr, whoso lives have been spent in honorable public service who are acknowledged to bo iure, great and good in those attributes which constitute the patriot and citizen, aud whose principles "are known and road of ail me..."
