THE SEVENTH OF NOVEMBER NEXT, (NOT MONDAY.) 07 An Address to the Voters of Henry county, by V. Grose, came tuo late for publication in our weekly paper, as per request. r7We have just been informed on good authority, that a certain whig, connected officially with the j in this town-hip, offered tu a voting man, known t be und r age, that if he would vote the whijr t.ck i f. r Taylor on Tuesday, he would stand between the ur.g muri and all danger.' Democrats should I'.-'; out for such villany as this on Tuesday, for we hove no doubt that certain whigs will attempt to practice it. Tayloks Allison Letter. Mr. Giddin"s in a speech at Newark, 0., recently, stated that this celebrated whig platform was written in Washington, in '1 ruman Smith's room, and was the joint production f Smith and Crittenden ; that Corwin knew it, and l.r.d often joked about it. lie challenged any whig to I question Corwin on the subject, which they would lave an opportunity of doing, as he would be there iti a few day?. We suppose, however, that the staten r.t f 1 GIddings will not he denied. Further evidence ;if the fact is given in the Washington Union if a lata date. fjp Oi.e would supro3', t; hear the whigs crack :' 'l.V prcter.ded :.n::csfy of Tayh-r, that thev never hau an honest candidate h- fre, at least not an ultra honest one. This talk at out h s honesty, however, is I mcto humbug and gamir.'-n. Let him fulfil his pledge to cTr.ct Iiis false statements about our volunteers, i rid then perhaps, he may claim common honesty. The Journal notes a statement, that General C j-hing, of Mass., was hissed while making a speech,! recently, by some volunteers, who disliked some of his acts in Mexico. We should think the Journal! would be ashamed to allude to any thintf of the kind, ! while supporting old Taylor, whose libels upon our volunteers, lias blasted the name of Indiana every where. Shame to the Journal! Let it act like u white man itself, before it praises the spirit of others, who could not but be disgusted at its approbation, if thev were aware of it. Horace Greeley has been nominated for Congress in the G:h Congressional district, New York city, in! place of Mr. Mtiiiroe, who has declined to run. This nomination is only for the balance of the present Con- j gress, the sea; having been declared vacant at the : last session. James Brooks, of the Express, commonly called "Booby" Brooks, has been nominated for the succeeding term. More Electioneering Panics. The Boston Republican, (a whig free soil paper) states that a reduction has been notified to take place at Lowell. The reduction is considerable to o." per cent. and i9 to begin about the "Hth November. "This movement (savs the Republican) is no doubt! a branch of the panic system which the Taylorites of this State are endeavoring to make operate in favor of their candidate. A reduction of the wages of labor is a very appropriate method of getting votes for j a mm who pays his laborers no wages at all. It is according tu the 'fitness of things.' " Ultp.a and Paltry. The Ohio Statesman says : "It has been decided in one of the townships in this county, after mature discussion, that a whig but not an ultra whig, is a fatry whig ! That will d See Webster's large edition." Greeley, in his reply to Mr. Bascom's letter, makes this candid admission : "IT IS TRUE, IN OUR OPINION. THAT GEX. TAYLOR IS NOT HEARTILY HOSTILE TO SLAVERY EXTENSION." O-IHrriui Gray Otis died in Boston on the tiSth of October, at on advanced age. He was a distinguished politician of tne old Federal school. His last public act was a written appeal to his old friends to aid in the election of Taylor. Thirty-fir st Congre-s. Ten States have elected their members of Congress, and the account stands thirty-one whigs in the next Congress to thirty three in the present; and forty-six democrats to forty-four in the present Congress. Democratic gain, two. Failures in Piiil-adi-lphia. A correspondent of the New York Pot, writing fron Philadelphia, rays : "We had at least five heavy failures last week. These are hardly a h ginning of the end ; for if the bulks c Uitiaue to ri f'i- diro'inting even genuine fcjjines.; paper, the trading community must come to no rilmost general Fuspene-on ; and if thr hanks do not pursue this course, they will have to suspend specie payments before Christmas." The Banks are thus putting on the screws for political c licet. Mails to the Pacific It is stated that the Post Master General has concluded an arrangement with William H. Aspinvvall, Esq., President of the Pacific Steamship Company, for the transportation of mails, monthly, across the Isthmus, between Chagres and Putiama. Thi completes the mail communication from New York to Astoria, and is to go into operation on the first of December next. The establishment provided by the city of Eoaton - for the reception of lost children, has had brought to it within the laat tfix months 7C7 lost children.
Braucht. The Journal has been playing the game of Brag fur a we. k or' two, just as it did before the August tlecii mi. It hid just as much reason to brag then. 03 r.o.v ; and it will feel quite as cheap as it did then, alter the election, when we republish some of its bragging paragraphs. There is but one consideration, upon which the Journal builds its extravagant hope of carrying this

To induce them to do tili, the Taylor leaders have been very active for some weeks past. They of course at the same time expect that the democratic free-soil men will he a little more honest and consistent, and will therefore etick to their ticket while the whigs will desert it. Upon this they chiefly rely, with how much reason the result of the election will soon show. That many whigs, who were at first dissatisfied with the nomination of Taylor, will be induced, through the blind impulses of party fanaticism, to go for him at the polls, we have no doubt. The worst wish we could harbor against them, if we wished them ever so much injury, is, that they should do so. He must be blind indeed who has not seen already the demoralization of the whig party in the free States, effectuated by the mere nomination of Taylor ; but he must be much more blind and foolish who cannot 6ee, if Taylor should he elected, that the event would work a prostration of the whig party ten-fold worse than was caused by the era of Tylerism. Let the whig free-soilera do as they pleae. Their fate is in their own hands. They can voluntarily decree their own shame, if they please, by voting for Taylor. Should lie be elected, the thanks they will receive from his friends can be easily estimated ; if he be defeated, they will of course expect the scum of all Frost's Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War, is a volume of G40 octavo pages. It is a book full of instruction for Americans. The engravings, numbering upwards of f00, are spirited, appropriate, and beautifully executed. It also contains colored plates of the most distinguished battles. W? fully approve nf the above irnrk, and cheerfully recommend it to the notice of all. Journal. Qjr The above work, which the Journal 44 fully opproves," is one of the greatest humbugs which has yet appeared upon the subjects of which it pretends to be a history. It is nothing, at best, but a catchpenny concern, for which no sensible man should give his money, and which should net be countenanced in any wnv. We skimmed over so many pages of it the other day, as related to the battle of Buena Vista, and found thorn marked by a greater degree of opprobrium against the Indianians, and ignorance of the most common military manoeuvres, than wc ever saw before. Frost, the hireling compiler, must be as ignorant of military operations, as a horse of his grandfather. He talks such stutF as 44 ordering up the artillery to support the infunlry" Arc, and handles other l:ke matters just about as well as a cow would a musket. His libels of Indianians are mo-t atrocious, worse even than Taylor's. They are represented as unmitigated cowards from the word go, and that without a single item of extenuation ; and it is said that the battle came within an ace of being los through their misconduct ! Nevertheless, the Journal says it "fully aj-pruves " of buch a work! Ail we hive to say of it jut now, is that it is a libellous humbug, for concocting which its authors .should be horrsc-whipped. Agents are now soliciting subscriptions to it, in this county, says the Journal. Wo caution the people to be on their guard against them, so far as this book is concerned. What THEY THINK ABROAD. A friend, mannvate letter, to us, dated Columbia, S. C, Oct. 121, ? ,, c . r m i 13 P?, writes as follows of the course of Gen. Taylor towards our volunteers : "Taylor's censure of the Indiana volunteers, for alleged cowardice at the battle of Buena Vista, and
his refusal to do justice to them at the request ot your J and caused the ureaiHui slaughter m wlucti Harum, diers of the country. Those resolutions were supLegislature, must be painful to your people. Let j Clay, ÄIcKce and many other brave men lost their ported and drafted by" Whigs'. Were the leading
the circumstances ofthat allair be what they may, the whig editors dare not incur the odium of laylor's defence, for they would thereby become parties to the attempt, to bring disgrace on the State. There is nothing upon which the human mind, individually or collectively, is more sensitive than the charge of cowardice; and there is nothing at which individual or S'ate pride, will revolt quicker, and especially in connec tion with the defence of our Flag. This matter of Gen. Taylor and the Indiana volunteers, is sufficient to render his name odious in your State." Our South Carolina friend feels as we do aboiij Gen. Taylor's unjustifiable course ; but he is much mistaken about our whig editors. He is not used to such kind of men in his own State, and don't understand the stock. He can't realize that they should be willing to court any degree of self-degradation, in the fanatical hope of achieving a party victory. They, indeed, are the right sort of men to follow euch a leader ! Webster on Slavery. 44 But I have one word to say to you, my friends, upon this important topic; and it is to repeat my desire that you will read what I have before spoken and that you will remember what I now say, that I hold, by the Constitution of the United States, that Ccngros m absolutely precluded from interfering in any maimer, directly or indirectly, with the institution of slavery. (Loud cheers, with cries of " Say that again.") Well I will say it again, and I wish you to remember what I gay. I will repeat and I wish you to repeat it wherever you go spread it abroad upon the wings of the wind, that I, Daniel Webster, here, in front of the Capitol of Virginia in the month of October, 1310 with yon October sun shining full upon me in the midst of this assembly before the whole country and with all the responsibility that attaches to me or to my name in any way declare, that there is no Power either in Congress or the General Government, in the slightest deiree to interfere with the Institution of Domestic Slavery." (Tremendous cheers and cries of That's two thousand votes for Harrison.") The man who thus talked to slaveholders in a 6lave State, is now urging free-soil men to support Taylor rather than Cass, on the ground that Cass is more in favor of slavery than Taylor ! Who can put any confidence in Webster's present anti-slavery professions after reading the above They are worth just about a4 much as his profession- of whig integrity while he acted as Tyler's Secretary of State. Though among the greatest, yet Webster is also one of the most corrupt men in thiä country, and his professions, whatever they may be, are entitled to no confidence whatever. (71 Ion. Dixon II. Lewis, U. S. Senator from Alabama, died on the Ü")ih inst., in New York. Hid disease was an affection of the kidneys. His age, forty-six years. He was in full possession of his reaso'i to the last. Though by nature a Democrat, and strongly attached lo the Democratic institutions uf his country, he was proverbially generous towards political opponents, among whom he had no personal enemies, but verv many warm personal friends. In consequence of the death of this distinguished individual, says the Journal of Commerce, the Common Council adjourned last evening without transacting any business, confining themselves to resolutions of respect for the deceased, and sorrow for the public bereavement.

Mr. Editor By chinee p'-rusal of your paper of the 11th inst., 1 I ml that the good pmple of your State, arc receiving a course of pditical instruction, from the Captain of the Kenton Rangers, (G. W. Cutter) that you may know him, I append the folhming :

He is the u'licer who, for drunkenness, and disgraceful condut't, was confined in the iruard teni twelve hours and released to be driven from the Regiment, by order of Col. McKee. He is the man who, (at Cumargo) duped Gen. Taylorv (hy promising to resign,) "and thereby evading a Court Martial."" He is the drunken officer, who shot Joseph Taylor, (a rick toldier) causing his speedy death for which he was cashiered by a Court martial, and only escaped punishment, through the intervention of (Jen. Taylor, "who, hy the way, thought it inadvisable to dismiss a commissioned officer, for only murdering a common soldier." These, and many other circumstances, known to the writer, leads to the conclusion that Captain Cutter, is the most unprincipled wretch and scoundrel, that, ' by his preseii'-e," ever polluted the fiiir fime of the United States, (he is a Can. dim by birth.) All that I have written herein, is true and the different statements can he substantiated, by reference to General Marshall, or the officers and men of the tid Kentucky volunteers; these facts, are also known to many ofiirers of Colonel ?.IorganH ltd Regiment Ohio volunteers; but I presume that my name, and the facts herein written, will be sufficient to quiet the wretch, who, " were it nt for his talent," would be beneath the notice of an honorable man.

At the request of a whig friend who was a volunteer in the second regiment, the New Albany Democrat republishes the following articles from prominent Taylor papers, containing grovs libels upon tiiat large body of returned volunteers a vast majority who refuse to support Gen. Taylor tor the Presidency, and upon the Indiana troops. The following is from the Louisville Courier, well Known as u prominent layior organ: 44 It is a notorious fact that forty-nine out of every fifty of the volunteers who served under Gen.

The Testimony of Cor.. Dix. We find in a late hut did Washington ever write any letters which his number of the Boston Post an account of the recep- j friends were so much ashamed of as to induce them tion of the Massachusetts volunteers in that city. A 'to pronounce them forgeries T Did Washington erer number of invited guests were pres nt, among whom refuse to take a letter from the post office because was Col.

trm 44 personal observation," whsch it was impossib!e for Gen. Tavlor to do. We copy from the account in the Post : The president gave Col. Dix The llag of his country is always safe in his hands. Col. Dix, the gallant ofiiccr who rallied tho Indiana volunteers, in reply, said Mr. President, 1 am obliged to you for the favorable allusion you have made tome; but I can claim no other merit than that of endeavoring to do my duty. I did no more than others Would have done with tho same opportunity. In the official report of the battle of Bu iia Vista full justice was not done to the Indiana regiment. (Jen. Taylor would not intentionally do wrong to anybody, and I do not think he was fully apprised of all the circumstances attending the temporary falling hack of that regiment. From an early hour in the morning, tiiey had been exposed to a heavy fire. They did not retire until they had fired twenty rounds, and more than lvn-thin!s of them returned and fought till the close of the battle. Having said thus much for the I Indiana regiment, I may bo nlknvcd a word about the Massachusetts regiment. When I met it on the way to Momercy, I supposed from the style of its marching that it was a regiment of regulars. I an. a. New Eoglattd man, and you will judge of my surprise and delight when 1 was told that it w as the Massachusetts regiment. I give you The Old Bay State When the country required the scrvieo of her sons, the call was responded in, the quota was promptly furnished, and they marched to the field unassisted and unendorsed by the legislature. Wo regret that " circumstances" force upon us the conviction that Col. Dix is mistaken when he says that he believes that 44 Gen. Taylor would not intentionally do wrong to anybody." lien. Taylor has had every opportunity to correctly inform himself of all tho matters in this controversy. No doubt he is correctly informed of them ; yet while a sense of justice induces others to come forward and magnanimously make amends for the wrong Ihty have committed, Gen. Taylor still holds hack and refuses this simple act of justice. Xtic Albany Democrat. The Blale Circus. The fame which has preceded this Company, of which our old and esteemed friend Mr. Samuel Bukot.ss is chief proprietor, leads the public to anticipate the best performance they have yet enjoyed in that line and wo are assured they shall not be disappointed. The personal popularity of Mr. B. himself, who has been long ami favorably known in this community, will entitle, and no doubt secure him a regular old fashioned benilit. His company embraces some of the best performers in the United States, the horses are beautifully marked, well trained, and highly blooded, and the wardrobe gorgeous and extensive. John Kelly, with his band of negro minstrels, is connected with this (Ihe Eagle) Circus. To hear him sing and play the violin, is worth inure than the price of admission. He certainly can produce as delightful tones from the violin, and sing as sweet a song us any man who ever made the attempt here. Hear, see und judge for yourselves. Wabash Atlas.

Taylor, who has been in the army for forty years, and who is so remarkable for discipline, that he dislikes the volunteer because he is not regularly trained in all the duties of a soldier 1 There is something in the name of "Charley," which invites a poetic license and Cutter is u poet. But how would it have sounded had Gen. Tav lor have said to Gen. L'ine, 44Joe, bring up the X!d Indiana to the rescue;" and to Col.

Phe Indiana Journal contains a certificate from! some of Ciptain Rousseau's company, testifying that the Captain i a brave man uiol didn't run away at Buena Vista. Capt. R. supports Gen. Taylor and deft nds his report, and here is what he says : 'The second Indiana regiment, which had fallen hack us stated, could not be rallied, and took no forth, T part in the action, except a handful of men, who, under i's gallant Col. Bowles, joined the Mississippi regiment, and did good service, and those fugitives who, at a later period of the day. assisted in defending th train and depot at Buena Vista." In relation to this report, Gen. Taylor, in a letter to De frees, says : "Nothing has been developed since the date of that re-port to cause me to change it. It was founded upon my own personal bservation on the field," $cc. Surely Capt. Rousseau should not complain if the poisoned chalice is commended to his own lips." A. A' It. Democrat.

The anguish and horror of the murdered man's com .anions may he faintly imagined.

Germany is still in an uproar, and France, at the last accounts. was on the point of a mminterial rrii, the result of which may hasten the commencement of the scenes which have to take place i:i Europe, before the iniquities of centuries are atoned for. In France the presidential election which will probably take place next month is the universal topic. The chief magistrate is to he elected by direct and universal suti'rage, and by an absolute majority.
