ShutHann, politico anti Nano, Gem. TAYLOR A?Crl HORACB GRERLY.The N, Y. Tribune of 'trendily contains a long article from the pen of its editor, from which we have made the the following extract. This extract contains seven substantial reasons why Mr. Greely hag refueled to support General Taylor. -They are strong well put,. and emanating from a redl Whig, are entitled to great weight and consideration: I. He is a Military Chieftain, whose whole ma ture life has been passed in the Army, necessary di• verting his mind to a great degree from civil affairs. We dislike the principle of choosing our riders merely or manly because of the distinction they her•., achieved in Military service. 3. Though his present professions are Whig, and he is no doubt a hearty hater of the Polk dynasty, he has never voted a Whig ballot, probably never gave a dollar nor an hour to the diffusion of the truths which are the basis of our organization, and confess himself not well acquainted with political affairs—as might well be supposed. We have no assurance, up to this hour, that he is heartily favor able to any one of those great distinctive measures for which the Whig have contended, unless it be the practical limitation of the now grossly abused Veto- Power. 3. His!nomination was urged on unwrlthy grounds and secured by the force of considerations we heart ily detest. Its advocates either assumed that the great distinctive measures for which the Whig par ty had long and honorably struggled• were obselete —(that is, surrendered)—or that they were not suffi ciently popular to triumph on their own merits, but must be carried by the roll of the drum and the flash Buna Vika guns. We deny these assertions and despise the counsels they inspired. ' 4. Gen. Taylor stood before the publican an ego iv weal attitude with regard to the IVhig party. He was supported by some as independent of parry; by others as 'a ,Whig, but not an ultra Whig;' end by others as "tt full Whig and a quarter over:. lie was pledged ,o some to run for President, even in opposition to the Whig nominee; by others hp was understood and represented. as - committed to abide the 'decision of the Philadelphia Convention. It seems difficult to see• how a frank, holiest straight forward man' could get involved in such labyrinths of misapprehensions. 5. He was first proposed ana most warmly urged 'for tire Presidency, in good part by met' in whose integrity VIP had - no confidence and whose characters we could not esteem—who had belonged to several parties and acquired no good reputation with any— men whom he had been compelled to regard as spec ulators in politics and mercenary hunters after 6._11e was an especial favorite with those knoWn to us 'as Northern Whigs with Southern principles, Advocates of 'a vigorous prosecution of the War,' 'Nu Peace without Indemnity,' 'Our Country riu - lit or wrong,' Br,c. &c. This class du not like The Trinbune,-nor we them. 7. Lost add Worst orall, he Was the Candidate of the.ultra slaretolding interest, so far as any portion of its adhere to the ‘Vhig party—of Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi, 'Arkansas, Florida arid Texas— of those who claim for the South the right of 'dent ing Slavery in'New Territories. We have not said, and do not mean to say, that Gen. Taylor ib himself of their school. We de say, however, that he was the only one among theise proposed as Whig. , candidates for the Presidency, who had never utter ed a word in, public reprehension of Slavery, and was not known to us to be 'while to its Extensiim • GEN. TAYLOR AND 'MR LOUI9IANA DELEGATION. —We find the following in a late letter front Wash ington, in the New Yurk Herald: if Gen. Taylor's letter to the lndepeddeat party of Maryland says, that he did not atotuiri..e General :Saenders to speak for him in the WhiliConvention, `but Gen. S. haring done so, he was ,Icompelled to endorse him. The fact iszonfirmed that. Gen. TAYLOR did not authorise the Louisiana delegation, by the follow ing article from a late number of the New Orleans . . The Richmond Whig and Lynchburg Virginian state, very erroneously, that the report of Gen Tay lor's disapproval of the course'of the Louisiana Del egation in the Philadelphia Convention, vves a fab rication of the Locofoco or Neutral press of New Orleans. ' This is both incorrect and uncourtemis. , The Independent press, in the discharge of its duty AssTaithful chroniclers of events, stated only w hat hairbeen asserted, by gentlemen, whose position .andrespectabißty left them no grou'rids to doubt 'the accuracy of their assertions. The names of %these gentlemem were given, and thus the whole responsibility of these statements were thrown— where it belonged—upon them. • We ask the edi tors of the Whig Virgrniaa—who are old and exper ienced coodUctors ofpers—if indiiliduals known k to be strong and intimate friends of 'pen. Taylor, and respectable gentle ten, make statements agree( importance ; ss coming from Gen. Taylor himself, "relative to his.pelitical position, and desire them to 'be made. public—if any editor, who fi l er of a Neutral •or Party journal, is ju s tified in withhnlding th ni? I i 1 , r Gas.

BLAin.—TheWashint i dent of the Baltimore Sun, under d thus wrileS respecting the political positiui gentleman: Upon the authority of Senator Foote, of .lissis , - sippi, sanctioned by Mr. Blair, I ha l ve to stale that the report, urginating with the New York Evening Post, has no foundation in fact. The article in the Evening Post stated "by euthority," that Francis P. Blair,‘a _man well known to the Political world, disapproved of the proceedings of the Baltimore Con volition, and would give his cordial ttpport,' to Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency, and tio the ddctrines of the soculled "free soil" party of the North. We are told that Gen. Foote called upop Mr. Blair in relation to this article in the Post, and Mr. Weir said that he voted in Convention for Cass and But .ler, and us a man Of honor, he telt bOund'to give Lo them and their principles, as he should.do; his hearty support•-•-that-no paper , or.per*on'llati any authority to make such Statement as was co twined in the Evening Post.

Eturiirts —I this day attended a political gath ering by which the usual quiet and peacefulness of our httlo town was disturbed. By reason of their peculiar nature, I cannot refrain from giving you a brief account of the proceedings. Contrary to my expectations, it was like the orator's face, all on one side. Instead of a flow of Democratic orthodoxy and vituperation, and Whig slan der and heterodoxy, and recrimination, we heard but a poorly gotten up speech, delivered by a would be celebra ted wing stomper, Capt. Itowan Hardin, recently re turned from Mexico. His spench was a compound of eulogistic paragraphs upon Gc. Taylor ; egotistical al lusions to his wonderful self ; of slanders, of lies and of truths. The latter only wo de . em worthy of notice.— Truth can never be too universally known and it receives additional weight and influence when voluntarily pro claimed from the lips of an enemy. When the orator had dOOO speaking of i himself and Gen. Taylor, he deigned to make the following allu s ion to the Roble champion and exponent of Democratic principles. "The great leader of. the Democratic party too, Go Cass, is an accomplished scholar and gentleman. He too, has grown gray in the service of his country, and has filled some of her most responsible and important offices both at home and abroad, and, so far as I know, has uniform ly discharged the dillies of those offices with' consum mate ability and integrity. He is an honest and upright man, and I have no objection to him under" God's heav ens, except, that he was brought up in the hot bed of politics." • What a ply that our candidate had not been incuba thed in the Rocky Mountains, brought up in the swamps of Florida, spent his lifo in the field, been a novice in the principles of government and the politics - of his country, never read a dozen newspapers nor voted in his life, aro fought bravely 14 an " unholy and God-otTending ward" Unfortunately, liwever, our poor candidate has hlended in himself all the noble andsterlinguccomplittnnenta of the scholar, the; general, the diplomatist and the states man. • Ourirero complained seriously because General Taylor's patriotic 'devotion to the interests and hodor 1)r his country upon the field of battle, had not inspired both whigs and deineerats with sittflcient confidence in his itttCgrity and opacity, to ele4 him to the Chief Magis tracy without asking his opinions about ordimmees; rats' tails, and Torn Dick and Harry. Ho said that General Taylor was " opposed to the Executive veto, and in case of his election, would be AI purely . evecutive officer, as the Constitution required, and would leave the exercise of all doubtful powers in the hands of Congress," i. e. if a whig, Congress pass some more bankrupt and alien and sedition laws, Gen. Taylor will go to work heart and hand and put them into execution. Methinks the 'non-committal 'and nonseimical policy of Gen. Taylor cannot flourish in the State in which the great Embodiment has so long reigned supreme in the whiggish chttrch, and at the expense of whose claims and even political existence, Gen. Taylor was brought Forth. Notwithstanding the whigs have had their strong est man in this state on ;the race for Governor, than whom even Henpt Clay himself could net command a greater vote, the ' emocratrc candidate will narrow down his majority to or -fourth its "usual rtumber. I doubt not. The t Democrats e efficiently organized throughout the state, and I dottbittot the Democracy of the Union' will have reason to hake courage at their success. The whigs are rejoicing over Gen. 'Tajlor's letter of accept ance, his, who Would not be the candidate of a party. I but would be the ',candidate of the people, and elected by their spontaneousi voice. Glorious consistency 1 • 11.1,. C. K. Wiscossur.--rThe•legislature of Wiseonsin has passed through every state a bill exempting the homestead of family from on execution for debt. The area ex ed einpted, we believe. is forty acres in the country, or a Id 1 quarter of an acre in a village. The - find onto itf the . I Senate stood 14 to 5; in the House 33 to 25. THE VETO POWER.—No. 2. 'the position of the wing party upon this upon all others, exhibits a strange medley of encies and contradictions perfectly in iteepin doubtful, wavering non-committal policy whi characterized this party whose phases, like t the chameleon; present different aspects Um medium by which they are viewed. While hand unequivocally professing great venerate Constitution, and boldly asserting that they p selves upon its ample basis and rest thei its merits, on the other hand the evil conseri manifest injustice of one of its fundamental ag,aink oppression and usurpation are made den of every whig song"—theme of every w • "From Macedonia's madman to the Sw thus arraying themselves in opposition to Men maintaining upon the same question two po metrically rmtagonistical to each other.
