He has no sympathies with the busy world tit'Man: Ho is an antiquated land-tortoise ; that 'moves not from the One narrow circle all his. life-time, although. pre-._ tracted to more than a century. ; He would tiot move from his couch of down, to stivea nation from , thp iron rod'of despotism. alk tii him of 'Free dew, of independence, of Human ltighte,,of the high destiny of Man, of the vast elevation of which he is susceptible, of the overthrow of. ty,tranny in whatever shape It may appear, and you might as well talk to stocks end stones. , For such subjects he has no earomi tongue, no heart. But speak to him of Dividends, of 11a Stocks, of Corporations, Charters and the like, and he grants you his atten tion by the hour. lie loves nothing better than I.4nr.Y, end hates nothing so much us general laws, applicable to all. Ile pampers his own appetite to the amount of million 4, and chaffers with honest Toil for the reduction of six-pence in the price of unceasing labor. His plans of ease are all erected on the degradation of the masses, and his }lotion on earth is the enjoyment of immunities from which they are excl u ded. .1. The Model Whig is rippfi- A to the acquisition of territory by the nation, although he never cian get enough himself. U. has never forgiven even the settlement of Ohio by the hardy pioneers of the West. Ile thinks Massachusetts the greatest of all the states, and would bu wuli pleased if the Un ion could have been so kept within beonds as' that Boston would be th' cent-e. Ile is persuaded in Itleart, that the chief end and design of building up this great country. was to fit up a suitable place for the erection of a monster National Bank. lie is in this respect equal with the tailor, who for the first time beheld Niagara Fall, and who, prompted by the ruling passion, exclaimed: "what a place to sPong,o a coat!" - "What a country," claims the 'Model Whig, "for a National Bank!" lie sees only ruin and decay around him, in the abscence of any such stupendous' machine for the manufacture of money from rags and lamp-black. Deprive him of this, and to his mind the prospect is dark and gloomy. lie is altogether a man of expedients, attracted by the false of every ignis . falans that chances to ,ross his path. To-day he curses the elevation of military chieftains ns worse than " Var, Pestilence, and,Famine"— and to morrow he is in hot pursuit ' ,if one, fresh from the field of battle, and reeking with human gore': Now he denounces war as un holy and unjust, and hopes that those engaged in it may be "welcomed with h ispitable harills to bloody graves,"—and anon he shouts hosannas to the very ring-leader of the battle. Now he 'denounces slay iry as an abomination—and then htigs to his em race the owner of three hundred Negroes. Now e flaunts on high a banner consecrated to a high Protective Tariff; - and then rushes pelhmell into the embraces of a Southern Free Trader.' Now he is all for pence, then all for a warier—now all for principle, then none for principle, but all for glory —now for wafting into power on the cloud of civil greatness, then for dashing into it on the wave of military enthusiasm. The Model Whig,_ in short is a bundle of v,ross inconsistences. Ile is an an omnlly, difficult to understand or to explain.—Lan rcostrr .110elligraccr. ' TAILOR. JOHNSTON AND, Fiu nt SOlL.— Governor iJonNs - rox, not half as prudent and consistent as Gov ernor Fond, of Ohio, who, as an anti-slavery man, declines suppoiting T.tyLon, takes ground for TAY LOR and free-soil—indeed is as bitter against the 'South as Ginursos himself. NAro do not allude to this by way Of complaint; it is as natural that a Whig should be inconsistent as it is that he , should be unscrupulous. To show, however, in what a position this gubernatorial advocate of TAYLOR and 'the proviso, or TkvLon. and Free Soil, has piaoed himself, we invite attention to the following extracts from Southern Whig, papers, explanatory of TAY LOR'S connection - with tine institution of slavery: rnris V i c Aiar;on (AM.)

Gcn.Taytor, a South-. ern man, the destiny of himself and his children identified with that of the South, his immense wealth consisting in slaves, and lands which have to be cuftivated by slaves, to render it valuable—ho an enemy to the ,South!—he in fit...or of prostrating Southern rights and interests! The very quintes cence of absurdity. They might as well say. Gen.

Those who are calculating on batik support from I,Vhig success, or from any other party in Pennsylvania; we believe are counting without their host. The people in nothing ,more united, sustained the ex-governor, than in his stand against the further increase of bank capital. and a desire to reform the system of its grosser errors. NVe do not believe any candi date known to be in favor of an increase of banks can be elected, and lithe bank question should not prominently enter into the issue, those whit may be elected to the office of Governor will be•crirefill how he runs counter to the popular will on this subject. Ix•rarrtnrrx (1' n LAnY.-;--A remarkable instance of intrepidity and coolness 'was exhibited at .the Line Lick Springs, a few days ago, by Miss L., a belie of Eourhon county, in this State.

Taylor's Aide-de-camp, that the old general is constantly engaged in "thestudy, of political economy, as suited to the peculiar posit , Lion of the_United Statert." i . , There is enough of the ludicrous In this idea of General Taylor's "going to school," at his advan-; ced nge,- to - provoke a smile from the most obstitiate partisan. It reminds one strongly of those "schools for for adults," which were once, etitablished in - Engl land for the educationof persons, who hod unfortu nately grown grey in ignorance, and, which arose well taken Off in thdinimitable sketches of-Thomas Hood: "It seems too Whimsical," ;says Hoi)d, "to contemplate fathers and venerable grandfathers, em ulating the infant generation, and seeking for in- Sanction in the rudiments. My imagination refu ses t? picture the hoary abcedarian, With satchel on his back, and shining morning face, Creeping like snail, unwillingly to school. Fancy grows restive at a patriarchal ignoramus with a fool's cap, and rod thrust doivn his bosom: a t l a palsied truant dodging the palmy inflictions o the cane: or a silver-headed dunce horsed on a pair of rheumatic shoulders for a paralytic ilaggelletion. The picture, nothwithstanding, is realized." An where is it realised - more vividly, than in the pres ent educational position of General Zachary Tay lor? We have it from his best friends, that he ha been sent to school in politics, that he istow pros ecuting studies, with which any candidate for th presidency should be conversant from his youth. The dullest mind can fancy Gen. Taylor tremb Hug before his political pedagogue, lisping his firs lessons with the timidity of childhood, and grow in more and more confident as truth beams into hie beclouded intellect.

But to "contemplate this matter in a serious light, is it not an insult to the intelligence and discrimi nation of the Amor'Can people, to _offer for their suffrages a candidate who knows so little of the sci ence of government, that he must be tutored into a gradual conception of principles and measures .! In what an abject position it places the Whig party, which has heretofore bOasted of the talent and in telligence-which marked its leaders. How it re veals the scheme of demagogUes to accomplish their designs by thdrperpotration of a fraud upon the mns ses. What wield have been the indignation of that linty, if a loco foco had even insinuated a want of qualification in Henry Clay.

Tap ORE PRONE OPT IN NEWYORK Asimx.—The Express of Saturday afternoon tells the tale of die present alarm of the Taylorites.. This last fright is occasioned by a very recent and Secret demort stration of the Whigs-on-principle in this city.-L, Some twenty-five members of the Whig General Committee /are said to have resigned on Friday night last, and to have. promptly taken measures to nominate Henry Clay, or soine.other reliable Whig. The Albany movement, set on foot, as all the work] knows, by Fillmore himself, started this ball. The Federal leaders of course deny that Fillmore worked the wires of that anti-Taylor meeting; and as it ca hardly fail to militate against him at the South, olt second thought he has also concluded to deny a l agency in it. But the man must be blind not to Geis that. he was the leading spirit of the affair. The Poughkeepsie meeting of the night before last was scene tfie second of this new and in teresting political drama. The secret row in tba Whin. committee of this.city was the third scene. -{- The demonstration which the Clay Whigs of Net York aro about to make, will be the first scene cif the second act. With it, we shall begin to get sit the gist of the affair. The Express and Courier ± Enquirer will find it hard work to stop this ball. indeed, their articles to palliate Taylor's manifest desertion of Fillmore, appear to have added fuel 16 the flame in which-Taylorism is to be consumed.-4 The appeal of the I,lxpress to the friends of Clay not to sacrifice him, who was so unceremoniously hung, drawn, awl quartered by those Lor whom thp Express takes up the cudgel, is indeed .cooly impu dent.

A motioa was made.to sign and.address a similar letter to Gen. Cass, which was promptly agreed to by the democrats.

Thi■ c date is presented to the 4Ctmerlcan people on the ground of "availability," and in the languago of D Webster, such a moinination is "without precede! justification frop anything in our previous history." orty years of his life he has boon tin officer of the ar army, in all of which time ho has not exercise simplest rights of a freeman, ,the elective french With how much truth, then, could that sante groat imos tle of whig faith and whig measures whose language wo have already quoted,-exclaim, "that suck a nothina tioniras not fit to Le made!"

This success with their pri concealed and their subsequent defeat under the le Henry Clay, the very "einbodimeut of whig'princi seems to have satisfied whigery of the utter hopele! of succeeding in a fair and open canvass, and lien nomination of Gen Taylor, the embodiment of no eiple; and whose nomination, Webster onYi4. "Is t instance in our history in which any man of - Tdratl: ry character has Leen propos:ldler that high ojficei is it to be supposed or believed that in the nominal such a candidate whig politicians have in truth giv their most cherished political sentiments.

But for his'accidental occupation of tho ;?resi dontial chair, we should now be cursed with it monster -f Bank. Let tis, then, take warning by the past let no democrat put faith in the assertion of Fillmore, the Whig candidate for Vice President,lthat the "old issues are gradually passing away, and new issues engross thci public attention." Such is nottlie fact—it is an invention of the enemy; not a now ono it is true, but the story Of 1810 revamped and remodeled, "No proscription" was their cry then—but how did their practice conform to their Toofessionsi Lot the number of officers, who wore ejected from office, and-tho swarms of office-hinters, who assailed every avenue to the President's mansion, testify against them.
