would not vote for a Whig, who would have used I all Iii influenco in favor of tlio vory measure ! which that third party suportod. Docs such I conduct become wise inon of .Massachusetts? (Aj- j plause.) I say directly, that every inau who i votes for Polk gives a voto for tho annexation of' Texas ; and every man who votes for the third : party candidate gives half a vole fur tlio same ohject, becauso he places himself in a position, ail j of whoso influences, hearings and results tend di- 1 rectly to that end. 1 question not the motive of; tho man who casts such a vote, but his act is just j ns 1 have pronounced it to bo, and if annexation j does take place, ho is answerable fur it to his conscience and his country. (Loud cheers.) Wo hear it said every day, gentlemen, by members of tho third party, that they cannot supjiort the Whig candidates oven on this question, bocause their opinions are not deep enough nor : Lroad enough. But is that a good reason in this ; caso? Do wo act from such considerations in; our privato allairs? Who of us, in private life,' refuso to omploy men to do what wo wish done, ' anrl for Which we know they are exactly an 1 -mpletIy i qualified. Incn.m in tome other respects they may happen i to be either a little. hehind or a little ahead of our own opin- ' ions? No one. And it sseins to me that no one, who is' wise, wnuln: carry sni-h a principle into political action;! but mill there are men who desire the extinction of slavery, j who presist in measure directly adapted to continue awl exieurl it. The question is before m, and on us, and on our frllow riliens, depends the part w hich Massachuieiu shall tuke. i Kit ajjtin, gentlemen, upon another point. I truat that, however our interest may be disregarded by our opponents, no particular affront will be offered to our understandings, j Aii'l it i an affront for anybody to pretend that Mr. folk, I the candidate o the other party, is not deadly hostile to the j

protection ol American industry in every form. All who know hi ii know this. If I were called on to select from the ranks of the party one man more opposed than another j to protectien in aI it, shapes, ft. would be .1 once, my j choice. And those who nominated him knewhis views tm this ! topic as well es I know them, and it was because he stood directly on their ground, as to a tariff as well as the annexation question, that he was chosen and is supported a" their candidate. All the talk about incidental an lfnir protection is nothing, and they know it. The people, too, should know it. and are, I believe, fast learning the lesson. Now let us review our principles let us examine our po litical creed: if there he anything wrong, let us change it if there be aught erroneous, let us alter it. lint if out I principles be true, if our policy be judicious, if our measures are indispensable for the common interest of ;ae whole community, then let us not be cheated, let us net be carried away, let us not be deluded by idle speculations as to what this man or the other man, if elected, may or may not do, but let us vote for those who we know will promote the good of the land by adhering to our principles, pursuing our policy, and carry inj our measures into lull effect. Great applause. I tteliava there is ootltlu niuie itnOiiBil ...) well itlad than the great Whig platform. Its principles a sou. id currency, protection to labor, love of order, the supremacy of the law, suppport of the constitution as it is, the rights of the stales under the constitution, and n. state rights over it, (and this point is as important as the niher) the maintenance of the grrat institutions of our fathers, in all their p.irity, and their transmission, unimpaired to our children. We adhere to nil these, and now let us all act a manly part in supporting them . Here is a great occasion let us perform our duty in a manner acceptable to the spirit of the constitution. We are clusely allied to the past and to the future, and every thing, every consideration which can move a good citizen, calls on us to be true to our doctrines, our :onsti tunon, and our country. Gentlemen, there is a sound heart in Massachusetts there are sound heads in Massachusetts; and if we can do anything toward reconciling differences of opinion among ourselves, we know that we are sure of a strong mijority. flu I, fellow-citizens, even if misguided opinion and opposition shall yet continue, even if the I had almost said foolishdesire of distinction shall yet flourish among some of our people, and prevent them from cordially uniting with ns in our great battle still let us not despair. There are Whigs enough in Massachusetts, la throw a large majority. Cheers. If they come out as they ou-ht, and thi meeting is an indication that they will, we shall obtain sack majority over both opposition and defection. Long applause. Let us ask our opponents if they propose to do anything for the happiness, prosperity and honor of the people, more, or better, than ve do. Gentlemen, it is no such thing. Their object is twofold ; first, the extension of our territory, and the perpetuation of slavery, and the se:ond, the utter destruction, root and branch, of the whole system of domestic protection. People ol Massachusetts, judge ye, to dy, between the two parties! Call upon your neighbors also! And as ye shall decide, make your opinions knowa am) felt! II was my principal ohject, in addressing you, to merely suggest same ideas and reflections adapted to the time and the position of the country, lint before closing, I would say that I heartily concur in the commendations you hare heard bestowed upon the Whig Senators from the Southern etales, for their action upon the Tariff and upon annexation. Their conduct has been noble, and I honor them lor it. And now, gentlemen, I have done. 1 hare stated my honest opinion that it is an affront to any man nf sense, to snv that the election nf Mr. Polk will not tend directly, immediately and conclusively to the annexation of Texas, the extension of slavery, and the destruction of the Tariff It is for yon to say whether you will, or can, give any support tosueh measures. Gentlemen, I thank you for the welcome you have gi veil me, the flattering attention you have paid to what I had to say, and I will trespass no longer on your time."

Tie General commenced bv giving ' a brief out-lino of hia early emigration to the West on foot, poor, friendless, and forlorn: and' then a little self-congratulation upon his preferment to cfiico and place. Ho then attempted to give a brief out-line of the history of parties in this countrr. Ho stated that in the organization of our government, there existed two parties, (tho same old, stale story) tho one was called the federal, and the other, the democratic party. Tho former, with Alex. Hamilton as its exponent, was in favor of a strong governii'iit, and among other tilings wore in favor of riving tho President tho power of appointing tho Governors of tho respective States, and of conrorring titles upon the i heads of the departments. And here, the Gon. gavo us the result of his research in a certain old almanac, in which he ac:uallv discovered that some imp of a printer's devil had placed the title !

That was tho "unkindest cut of all." The conclusion of the mighty effort of the General, which was devoted to the Texas question. Upon this question, ho took the same ground that all demagogues take, that wo should annex Texas to this country, else Mrs. Victoria will annex it to the British isle. Hero he branched out into aneloquent description of the marauding disposition of tho English government declaring that she had almost oncircled the world, and was now only awaiting a favorable opportunity to pounce upon us by getting a foot hold in Texas, bring her black army from her islands, and then invade our territory and finally lay our fair republic in desolation and ruins. For his part he went for INDEFINITE ANNEXATION FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN." But we have not time now to extend this notice further ; suffice it to say that it was an effort un worthy the fame of Gen. Cass. That in several particulars it was false in fact, and weak and lm-. Xi ,A - . c ibecilo in deduction. It was ultra in party feeling, ; , . . i . : and exhibited his subserviency to the great lead-1 - , . . K- l.j : ers from whose council chamber ho had sore-t cently travelled. It exhibited the ambitious mo- j fives which actuated him to thus visit the state of. Indiana. Not content with flattering hia own party, he had to step aside and make a thrust at Mr. Webster, by allusions to the "red lines" of

tho Northeastern boundary treaty. We suppose!

vitation from Whigs and locos, irrespective ofj party that both parties wero there to hear him and that tho occasion was ono with which party politics had no connection. It was tho opening of a groat thoroughfare, and the subject of internal improvement and its concomitant questions were alone legitimately subjects to bo discussed ; but there too he had to make a thrust at Mr. Webster. Those "rod lines" must haunt his brain as the ghost of some unwclcomo fiend. But wo must hasten to a close. At the conclusion of tlio General's speech, several patriotic tunes wero porformod by each of tho Bands present. Then Mr. J. L. Robinson was introduced commenced making a speech ; but having once bo fore felt the moving clFects of his speeches we moved off. In tho afternoon, tho largo number of Whigs wcre at Contreville called ujon tlio Hon. ... B- Smith fw a speech a stand was erected at the base of lhc ash I,oI- and aflor repeated calls.

The following is Mr. Bascom's reply: Cin. (iazette. TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY. Lexington, Kv., July 24th, 18 1 1. My Dear Sir: In reply to your lotter of the Oth inst., I owe it to truth, virtue, and the claims of society, without any reference to tho jwlitical strifes of tho day, to say, I havo boen in intimate and confidential intercourso with tho Hon. Henry Clay, both in public and privato life, for more than twenty years, and know tho charges enumerated in your letter, against the private character of Mr. Clay, to le utterly and basely false. Mr. Clay, as is known to the w hole nation, oilers no claim to Christian piety, in the parlance of our churches, but in view of iho ordinary accredited principles of good moral character, no charge can bo brought against him, without violating the obligations of truth and sound justice. To each interrogativo charge, therefore, contained in your letter, and reaching mo in the shape of a question, I return for answer, that I regard ono and all of them, as shamefully unjust, because not true, in whole or in part. Verv respectfully, your ob't scrv't. II. B. BASCOM. Dr. J. G. Coble. Bickle and Weller in the Field. The Hon. J. B. Wc'Ior made a speech in Wcstvillo a few evenings since, and was replied to by W. A.

Tho brief space of time allotted on that occasion for the discussion of the important principles involved in the present contest now going on in tho country, and a disposition having been manifested by the citizens of that place and tho surrounding country to hear Mr. Weller and Mr. Bickle again upon those queslioiis,we are authorized to respectfully invito Mr. WeL'er to appoint some time w hen it w ill be convenient for him to attend at ( n ,ri,.n r - tj: t,i,. ...;u t. . i . discuss fairlv all thoso important questions in - 1 which the people of this country have so deen , . 1 and so abiding an interest.

From the Baltimore Patriot. Mr. Tyler letter.

Wo publish in another column a letter from Mr. Tyler, withdrawing his namo as a candidato for the Presidency. Tho last scono in tho Tylor farco, which has amused and excited tho ridicule of the whole country for three years, has thus closed. Mr. Tyler has at length appeared on the stago, pronounced the prolovriio, and with his own hand lowered the curtain. Wnether wo regard the actors in this farce, or tho scenes of which it was made up, it will bo looked upon in all timo to come, as altogether contemptible and as, from having been erformod in no less a place than tho mansion of tho President of the United States, tending, to somo extent, to degrade tho country and its institutions. We could wish, for tho sake of both, that all recollection of it could pass from tho public mind, and that history should leavo no record of its over having been onactod. But tho infamy which covers Mr. Tyler all over, and tho political treachery of which he was guilty, aro so pre-eminent, that neitlior he nor his doings can be forgotten, till some other John Tyler shall ariso to wipe oil" all rocollection of them by eclipsing in tho greater infamv of his acts and the groater baseness of his treachery, all that now is suroto pre serve tho namo and tho character of John Tyler, Acting President of tho Unitod States, for the scorn and contempt of overy honest man of all parties. Mr. Tvler has thought proper in tho closing addross of the farce to indulge in remarks ot solfglorilication, and has ventured to mako statements, which, even in tho hasty notico wo can give his letter to-day, call for notico. In the opening of his addross, Mr. Tyler speaks of tho "reasons," which influenced him in accepting the nominations made by that most ridiculous of all Conventions tho Tyler Convention held in this city in May last as having ''!st much of their original force !" It was indeed timo for him to retire, if that which was in tho beginning destituto either of respectability or influence, and was altogether without joIitical or moral power, had lost any of its force. Even Tylerism, weak and imbecilo as it is, could gain no strength from relying upon such a broken reed. But it is not true, that tho reasons which ho givos for withdrawing havo any foundation itt fact, or aro roallythoso which operated upon hint. It is not true, and Mr. Tyler has an inward conviction that it is not true, that his conduct was over approved by the people. Needs he bo reminded at tins day,- when tho voice of a deceived jooplo is coming up from every quarter, calling upon Henry Clay to do tho work w hich they desired to havo done in 1810, but which his treachery prevented being done that the reverses tho Whig party mot with in 181'i, were entirely owing to tho political npostacy of John Tyler, which, while it astoundod tho country, disgusted the rojIo and kept them from tho jolls? So far from tho people looking with favor either upon him or his measures at any timo sinco tho lamented death of (Ion. Harrison gavo him an opportunity to play tiio traitor, thoro has never leoii a day nor an hour in which tho voice of every State, county, and city of the Union, if it could have boon heard would not havo boon ono of tho deepest censure of him. Wo speak thus olainly, because wo havo no idea now, when Mr. Tyler is attempting to sneak out of tho contomptiblo josition where his own vanity and falstheartodncss had placed him, that he shall carry with him to his obscure retreat, the aflbctcd consolation which tho expression of such an opinion, uncontradicted, could givo him. Wo can only notico ono other part of his address. Ho says he was nominated "to conciliate" a iortion of tho Whig jiarty of 18 10 horn ho designates as Republicans and original supportors of loneral Jackson. Mr. Tyler was a mcnilwr of the Harrisburg Convo ntion. and he therefore is guilty of a high moral ofTonro when ho makes so unwarrantable a statement as this. Ho knows that it is not true. The imputation which ho would thus cast upon tho members of that Convention is so gross, that it requires wo should dismiss all forms of courtesy, and stigmatize what ho says in this regard, ns an untruth. It is unqualifiedly untrue, and without tho slightest warrant. Mr. Tler went to tho Harrisburgh Convention as the friend of Henry Clay's nomination. If wo may bclievo what ho said whilst there, ho was tho most devoted friend Mr. Clay had in tho Convention. IIo cried as, indeed, did many a true-hearted man in tho Convention cry when Honry Clay was not nominated. This was, perhaps, tho best moment in John Tyler's lifo no doubt tho tears ho then shod wero honest tears. Mr. Clay was not nominated for the highest office, and therefore was it deemed duo to him that ono of his friends should bo selected for tho second office. Mr. Tyler was taken as that friend. I low fatal was the mistake which the Convention made, is now a matter of history. He was taken as the friend of Heury Clay, and alas! for tho weakness of poor human nature ho became tho ant:.Klos of what ho was thought to le. HE I'KON EI) A THAU OK ! As such, tho pon of tho impartial historian to which he apea!s, will consign lnm to tho lniarny ol all succeeding years. Of all the wrongs committed bv the Locofocos, that of stealing tho Whig songs is about tho meanest. Tho Richmond Enquirer was recently dotoctod and exposed in stealing tho words of "Tlio Blast from tho Bugle," marring its sense and destroying its spirit, by an attempt to turn it into a Polk song. Tho Washington Spectator has had tho boldness to take the beautiful song of Amelia, of Louisville, entitled "The Watchword," and alter it so as to mako it a Locofoco ditty ! This is too bad. To stoal a Whig lady's song and turn it into praises of Locofocoism, is an oflcnoo which must call down on tho head of tho ungallant man that could do it, the frowns of the whole sex. There is no saying how far the Locofocos will carry this sort of grand Iarceiy this stealing of Whig thoughts for the benefit of Polk but they go on as if they would stop at nothing. Why,it was only the other evening that wo hoard them "making night hideous" by endeavoring to set forth the praises of Polk and Dallas, in tho good and cheering tune of "Old Dan Tucker. In tho name of tho venerable Daniel Tucker, whose bones must stir in their grave in Tennessee, at this dogradation of his name and song, we protest against a further use by the Locofocoss, of this emphatic, and, by prescription, exclusive Whig tune. If there is any thing in ghosts, it may reasonably bo expected that the disembowelled body of "Old Dan" himself will appear in tho next Loco mooting where the outrage on him is attempted, and make the songsters scampo r. The Piqna Register thus commences an artie-U: "John (B.larkgnari) Weller." That B wiU tanJ for Wy, too.
