There will be rveral speakers present, including .;i im;i: k r. 44 Fkf.f. Son. Iunnek." This is the title of a new paper just commenced in this city. It is undor tho editorial management of W. 1). Greer and L. Wallaco, Ep., both young gentlemen if talents and education. They have teen tntil recently zealous nnd MCtivtj Whig, but having become convinced tlm' the nomirntion cf Taylor is revolting to tbc Whigs generally as well ai to themselves, ibey will herc6 Her vppjtic Tavit r nnd Can, and ntlvocate titc cnue of Mr. Van Euren, It would have given great gratification to a number of very respectable nnd influential Whi Parnturners," could the Journnl have been prevailed upnn to drop Taylor nnd tnkc up Mr. V. R., f r they now view tho support of Taylor in this State, in common with most intelligent person?, ns labor thrown away. Hut it was impracticable for the Journal to make such n change. It editor was n member of tho slaughter House Convention, nnd distasteful as tl. nomination must have been to one i who bad publicly declared that 14 a regard for Whig nrincinles forbade t!ic nomination of Taylor," bei nevertheless tncitiy ncrpiionced in that nomination, by remaining in the convention to the end, without protest, nnd therefore feels bound to adhere to the nominee as a matter of punctilio." In other words lie editor had 'enlisted during the war," and though he may not have received the 44 bounty," be prefers to become a mirtyr, rather than encounter tho odium attached to a deserter. This id regarded by "conscience whigs" as moral weakness; and wc should not be very much surprised, let the result of the great canTaaa be what it may, to see the new Free Soil Banner" intime assume the position now occupied by the State Journal, as the Central Organ of the whig party. The general tone of the new paper is marked with a manifestation of fervent zeal, and professions of high-toned political morality. Experience will teach the editors that it is somewhat difficult to maintain the latter quality, to the full." Constant tempta tions will be presented, inducing a violation of it. If they ehall be able to resist such temptations, they will do what few are capable of doing. In such an endeavor, however, all good men will hope for their success. The ends proposed to be aimed at by the Banner, are those proclaimed in the resolution of the BurTilo Convention, which we have published in full. Those which arc now regarded as minor to the question of Slavery extension, we have been generally in favor of, and have so expressed ourselves. These. however, will for tho present be overridden by the question of slavery, which, as Boon as wc heard of the nominations, we predicted would be 11 the great question" of the contest. Upon this, we differ from the Uarnbtirners only as to the means necessary and proper to bo used to accomplish the en I. We do not see any present necessity for the erection of a sec tional party, Wc desire, while claiming all that is just and right, to avoid even the appearance of illiberally towards the South. If we thould err at all, we should prefer to err on the side of generosity an! patriotism. We believe that the exercise of such a pint is not incompatible with n concurrent manifestation of the utmost firmness in regard to principle and correct policy. We think that Judge McLean is right in Fay in that " Without the eanction of law, slavery can n more c.xiit in a territory than a man can breathe without air. Slaves are not property where thev are not made bo by the municipal law." Gen. Cass, we understand to occupy similar ground. It is a better ground wo think, for even anti-slavery men to stand upon, than that cf the Wihnot proviso. It has tli is advantage at any rate, that it daß not preseut a provoking issue to t!ie South. It will not engender fanaticism on either side, and that is one of the worst qualities in the world in politics a well a in religion. We hid a good deal of it in 140, and had the issues then presented been sectional, or had the question of attaining power been a ßectional inntead of a general issue, one can hardly doubt that the insane feelings of bitterness which prevailed would have led to the most direful consequences. Wise men will not desire a frequent recurrence of feelings so positively evil. Believing it therefore to b wise, as well as patriotic, to maintain the attitude which we do, we shall adhere to it, confident that in the end we shall be successful in all that is right. (jj A "Free Soil" paper has just made its appearance at Madison, the third Barnburner paper, since the August defeat of the whigs. The whig Banner grumbles over it a good deal, though but a few davs ego it declared that the principles of the Buffalo p'atform were in the main sound whig principles. Then it desired to humbug anti-slavery men, untr it fears that they will swallow up the whig party, and leave it in the vocative. rv-Tbe Providence Journal, a Taylor paper, admits that the whigs have suffered an important re verse, a Virtual deieat iu North Carolina."

Louisville Journal nnd Gen. mic. A few weeks ago the Louisville Journal published a lying statement in reference to a speech of Gen. Lane at Newburgh, in this State. Gen. Lane happening to go to Louisville eoon after the publication of the lie, trailed upon the editors of the Journal, fur the purpose of obtaining their authority for saying that in his speech at Newburgh, h had called Taylor a liar. Of course they could give him none, and under the fear of a co hiding, they retracted their falsehood in a subsequent number. But villain-like, they tell a new lie, while taking back the old one, by snying that Gen. Lane not only denied their first statement, but that he said further that 'Gen Taylor is utterly incapable of falsehood." This yarn of the Louisville Journal, told to cover up its own acknowledged falsehood and turpitude, is now copied by our veracious Journal, and its like, as the bona fide statement of Gen. Lane himself! They have no other authority for it except the assertion of the Louisville Journal, which, while making it, took back, through fear, the infamous lie which it admitted it had told of Gen. Lane, in the first place. This is fine authority indeed! but it is just the kind which tho Doughface supporters and Hounds of Old Zack arc compelled to rely upon, in the forlorn hope of getting him into the exalted office of President of the United States !

07The Whig Slaughter House nominated Taylor because it thought it could humbug the volunteers, as well as a certain portion of the community at home, with hirn. But the volunteers knew the inan a little better than the Slaughter House did, and they knew that he was unfit for the Presidency. The Slaughter House was itself humbugged by the anecdotes and yarn, told for Taylor's benefit by the no-party men of the N. 0. "Picayune." The volunteers were not, because they knew that the beet of these yarns were lies. The best reason for Fupposing that the volunteers rightly estimate Taylor, is the fact that they nearly all think alike about his unfitness. Here is a piece of evidence, from a whig source , as to the feeling of the North Carolina volunteers upon the subject. The Union copies it from the Hillsborough Democratic Ratoon of the 15th instant : "Captain Constable, of the Orange and Yancy company of North Carolina volunteers, staled in our presence, a few day ago, that out of the whole North Carolina regiment there are not more thirty who will vote for Taylor and Fillmore. This gentleman, be it r ur'ii'jrrc'l, is i whig, and is warmly attached to the principles of h;s party ; but he declares he cannot F.upp"t 'fay !or. "I lere, then, the expectations of tho whig that General fay lor will receive the votes of nearly all the ohiM r.-: are blasted ; and, instead of tinistancc for them, they can here see that they may expect (i ft.:it. "Hi I th". volunteers returned in time to vote for gm r ;, Co.. Jitiit wou'd hue been elf ted hi several hundrtd mjorily ; but they will be at the ballot-box in November, riil will tlin fIiow what might have been expected of them if they had returned previous to the governor's election." Si.avfky. Gen. Cass maintains, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that slavery is a local institution, as the very predicate and foundation of his conclusion that the people of the particular territory have exclusive control over it. And from the proposition that slavery is local, follows necessarily that slave-holders have not the right to carry their property into the national territories, &c. The legislation in question must be akfikmativk, not trirative. Slaves are not property, for they are not slates, where law does not make them so. Gen. ('ass bays the proviso regards not tho exclusion of slavery from a region where it now exists, but its prohibition where it does not exist. "Leave," he further says, "to the people who are affected by this question, to adjust it upon their own responsibility and in th ir own manner." This is the ground taken by Gtn. Ciss, operating practically the exclusion of slavery. After all, it must be decided by the people, in the formation of their State constitutions, or in the amendment of them, and we think the proposition undeniable that their right cannot be taken away by any prohibition Congress might now enact. Tiik Hltfalu Hunt." The following notice, which appeared not long since in the New Orleans papers, has given the whigs all over the country a terrible fit of the tremors. It is supposed to relate to a movement to be made in favor of the Republic of the Sierra IWadre, which is to be carved out of Mexico by the 44C'a.'sarian operation," as 3Ir. Iknton might call it : "Buffalo Hunt on the Rio Ghande. All those deitous of joining in the Dutlalo hunt upon the Rio Grande next fall, are requested tosend in their names and address to the Grand cribe of the Ü. O. O., on or before the first day of September next. They will state the number of persons in each party, their equipments, Ä;c. Hille, muketi, or revolvers" must be furnithed by each hunter. As the party may expect occasional attacks front the hostile Indians roaming in that section of country, it is recommended that euch party should be organized and drilled before meeting at the tendezvous. It is expected that mnny friendly .Mexicans, skilful in the sport, and acquainted with the haunts of the animal, will join the party. Due notice of the time of meeting and the rendezvous will be given through the public press." If the whigs of Indiana are true to themselves to the interests of the State to the whig party of the Union to the welfare of the whole coontry they will conspire not with abolitionism not with barnbureerim not with nny faction having for its object the attainment of but a single idea but conspire totrothcr b ;:ive Indiana to (ien. Taylor by 10,(K)0 majority and relieve the State from the odium of the I'M 'residential election. Wc can do it. Indiana Jam-unl. This is all very well for a whijj, except the last sentence: 44 We can do it." That's iu shocking bad tate just now. I.ouisvil.'e Dnn. The Journal commenced with an 44 if" a very important word, under many circumstances. Had it ended with another, if the whigs had votes enough, the thing would not look so my ludicrous. The Commissioner of l'ateiits. We understand that the Committee on Patents of the House of Representatives, after a full and thorough examination of the charges preferred against the Commissioner of Patcnü, by his malicious end now disgraced accuser, (we regret the ncce&sity of using thes epithets,) reported in favor of that officer. It is propor to remark, that the report was drawu up by the lion. J. W. Farrelly, chairman of the committee, who is a whig. H'. Vnion. We believe that the Journal aided in circulating the false charges in question. Will it publish the above refutation 1 Wcdo not often call upon it to correct its errors, though it has a penchant for making calls on us to correct the slightest mistakes. A Whig Elector Hacked out. The Rockville Sentinel states that John Pitcher, Whig Presidential Elector for the First District, has backed square off tho truek, and refuses any longer to act in ho profitless a capacity ! W ell, wc don't blame him, for a man might as well be engaged iu pumping thunder, or bottling moonshine, as to stump it for Taylor in this Slate. Or The Literary American," is the title of a new literary journal published weekly in New York, under the editorial care of Mr. G. P. Quackcnhosa. It is designed for an instructive and eutertt ining family newspaper, and from the specimen numbers w hich have been eent to us, wc judge it well fitted to answer its end. We wish it success. Terms $3 per annum.

The Second Regiment. The author of the following lines served as a private in the second regiment of Indiana Volunteers, and docs not feel content to rest quietly under the foul and infamous stigma which Gen. Taylor has attempted to affix upon him as well as every other private of that regiment, nnd which he doggedly refuses to correct, though convinced as he must be of its terrible injustice. We rejoice that there are but

i few among the volunteers of this or any other regiment who are disposed to sanction Taylor's unpardon able conduct, by supporting him for an office which he is altogether unworthy to hold for various reasons, and especially because of his contempt for citizen i 3 x i soldiers, through whose bravery alone he obtained the fame which accidentally secured him the nom-1 ination.

QT" The recent great fire at Alhnny, is said to have been occasioned in thin way: While a woman was washing, a spark set fire to her sun bonnet. Without a moment's thought she jerked it from her head and threw it she knew not where, unfortunately it alighted in the stable of n'illiatn Johnson, which in i A , , , . , ! a moment almost, was euvc.opcd in ilamcs.

Is this another libel cn Gen. Taylor, neighbor Journal ! OCT" Three lives, says the Enquirer, were lost at the recent tinlawlul affair in C.ncinnati. Two men fell iu the jail yard ditcctly iu the act of carrying out their riotous purposes, one unfortunately Cahnajian was mortally wounded iu the street, nn innocent man, probably, falling victim to the guilt of others. Several were wounded tr.ore or less severely. Other papers say si.r persons were killed. 07" They have got to that point in Canada, that the comparative value of Uritish connexion, and of a union with the United States, is soberly dicusscd in quarters uhere to have mentioned sucii a thing a little while ngo, would have lccn little less than hi"h treason. (gf A fuss recently occurred at the Niagara Bridge, between the Americans and the Cinadians, about the collection of tolls. The Canadians, who had erected a barricade on the bridge, had the advantage. This dispute will probably lead to a law suit. CO-Will the Journal publish Taylor's recent letter to Lippard 1 It is very short, but might bc interesting to the Journal's readers. It repeats the eamc sentiment for holding which the Journal once opposed his nomination. The eastern papers arc icry generally com plaining about the false intelligence of tho elections, recently conveyed by the Tcll-lio-graph.

FiomtheN 0 Ddta. .ICcputilic of Mcrra. Itlutlrc By the arrival of the U. S. propeller Thompson, Capt. Wells, nt Galveston, the News of the 1st inst. has the following interesting intelligence from Tainpico. It tallies with the statements made to us yesterday by an intelligent friend of ours, just returned from Tampico : The citizens of Tampico, wc learn, are unanimously in favor of the new Republic of Sierra Madre. They have organized into a sort of militia force

completely armed and equipped fir the defence of' the city. They keep up a constant guard, and do not ' permit the Mexican soldiers, of which there are about ! one hundred in the neighborhood, to appear in the , , ,.,, i ,v ,. . n- . ; that it vs3 understood at lampico that an oiler had been made to Col. DcRussy io return to that place j with one thousand Americans, to aid in establishing i anu cerenuing nie new itepuonc, anu u was ucneveu that he would accept it. A bourn of one hundred thousand dollars was to be paid them, besides their usual monthly pay as soldiers. The people of Tampico are represented as looking for their arrival with confidence. Tho force there already organized and equipped, amounts to six companies four of infantry and two of drogoons. Two of the infantry companies are composed of Americans and foreigners, one of Spaniards, and one of Mexicans. Tin: News.-The N. Y. correspondent of the W. Union, under dato of Aug. XIOlli, snys The prevailing impression produced by the news from Ireland utnong the nioeit. judicious and best informed, is, to suspend judgment until further advices. A lew are disposed to eonider the whoh; Irisdi insurrection as already rpirndjed, und a failure; but this is pinning their faith too blindly on the rash judgment of precipitate friends, ti-o easily mortifit-d by the firs: symptom tint is contrary, or of enemies equally headstrong, ready to rais a tdiout on the first sign of weakness in the popular t aue. Tho accounts of the only alfray that has taken place are sufficiently conflicting; but these important facts are Mitlicicntly substantiated ; and that a body of armed police, some -It) in niMihcr, afterward reinforced so an to be nearly 100 stftin undertook to capture Smith O'Uricn ; that the country people immrdiatelv collected 44 to the number of ijHM or thereabouts" I use the words of tho Dublin Mail, an ultra torv and Orange print that an all ray took place, in which some lives were lost; but the police did not succeed in arresting their man. Itoth sides appear to have b en content to carry oil' their killed and wounded, und call it a drawn bailie. That the government does not regard the inMirrectioii as suppressed by any mean, is evident from its continued and increased preparations on the tno.-;t energetic and c.ttndcd scale half of Ireland put under martini law, huge bod, es of horse and foot continually pouring in, continual marching and coun ter-marching, a strong licet of nearly 1,1)00 guns otf the coast, cvc. Ail theo things go to show the danger of drawing too hasty conclusions from the imperfect know ledge in our possession. I nay no more. The next steamer must clear up much doubt.

An exchange tells of a cooper down East, who finding considerable difficulty in keeping one of tho heads of a tak he was finishing, in its place, put his son inside to hold the head up! After completing the work much to his satisfaction, he was astonished to find his boy inside the cask, and without a possibility to get him out, except through the bung hole. The condition of the whig party since, the Slaughter House nomination, is equally perplexing. They can't get their candidate out of the bung hole, and he will have to remain in the cask until the democrats knock it to pieces in November. fcSrThe Memphis Enquirer, a Taylor paper, upon the first receipt of the General's letter of acceptance, announced that it was 4Vi hoax!"

Resolved, 2d, That we pledge ourselves individually and eolhetivtly, if wc shall ever rpiet with the said Joseph Kellogg, in civil life to uc every honoiable and lawful means to obtain from him our just dues, and a tatifactoiy adjustment of our many giievauces.

Under tliee i:npiei ns, I a?n of the opinion that the hill, which passed the Senate at the U'e cion for the reduction of the fee of rotintv ofTicem f thi co.inty. commonly called the "fee bill," shou'd If m .de a gvnrr.il Jaw fr the whole state, applicable to ill officer whoc fees exceed the amount allowed by aid hill. I also freelj' cxpieocd myrlf in favor of amending the liw regulating th keeping of the road in icpiir, try i educing the pcnonal labor of every pn n liable to woik on the highway t one diy each and ascing the tesidue of the ictpitite labor upon the pioperty of the iei 1nt and non-iesi-dnit, and if i ccesaiy, ihc perin I tbor nd tax to he doubled or txbled by the uperrnor. The pteent law, in reality place the pjeat buithen of keeping the highway in repair, on the poor man; but by leducmg the laboi to one day each, ar.d causing a fine to be levied and collected, without repaid to valuation or apptaiement lw, in cae of refusal to woik or commute, (except invalids) will give moie teat and efficient labor, than the law do that aie now in fotce, and phce more of the latirr of tepaiiing the ruada upon the propeity balden win ie it justly belong.
