Pus has been called to fill, he has won the esteem arid approbation of his countrymen of all parties. • We are aware that when a Statesman becomes a candidate fur the Presidency, it is regarded by some as a matter of politiCal duty, end often becomes a Matter of feeling, to assault and decry him; but it is impossible to re call the strong expressions of confidence, and the admission to his talents, industry and patriotism; made by the same•partizans, at a period and under circumstances which evince their sincerity. They may be offered as so many just tributes to his ac knowledged worth and capacity, by his political op- , . portents, and as a ready answer to any attempted disparagement of his charaCter and talents, from those or any other quarters. . The following extracts from Whig and allied pa pers, when General Cass was called :to General Jackson's Cabinet, show the estimation in which, he was held by political oppouents:—Albany .Irgus. From the. N.Y. Evening Post. July 13,1831. "The New Cabinet.—Evan our bitterest adversa ries feel obliged to confess that the new Cabinet, which by the appointment of Goy.

Tho National Gazette, at present ono of the most,acri monions of the opposition papers, holds the follow ing lang uage , which we quote, not that the opinion of the Stational Gazette, whatever way expressed is a mutter of the slightest moment; but that our readers may be ableto revert to it on some future occasion, when that paper shall have added another to the number of political sornersets which it per forms with all the facility of a practised tumbler." from the National ida:eue, July n , •The second Cabinet is completed. The materi als are good. Gov. Cass, just announced as Secre tary of AVar, is a man of education, talents and in dustry; He has been for many years conversant with the subjects which belong chiefly to the de partment of War. We may presume that all the details of the public business in the four depart ments will be adequately euted." from the New l'o, k American. 4, «'e rend with great sn!tisfaction thd, annexed notice of the appointment of Gov.

BIG SHOTS FIiONI A BIG GUN! No man bits federalism liarder than lion. B. F. lista.Err, and no man more clearly and satisfac torily - shows up the gross inconsistencies, their con temptible tergiversations, and their Utter reckless ness of principle. The foll Owing hard hits are from his speech at Syracuse, N.!Y.,•and are but a sam ple of the way in which he "puts the licks into them" in all his speeches; In short, the o:ily rule upon which an honest Whig can support Gen. Taylor, is the rule of con tradiction. They must :construe. their candidate, as we are told, to interpret bad dreams, by oppo - - sites. They claim to be Whigs,'and they support Gen. Taylor because he is not an ultra Whig„ that is, not enough of a Whig to hurt him. So the less Whiggery-be has, the better ho is for the Whigs. They profess to be opposed to slavery and its ex tension into new territories; and they support Gen. Taylor because he owns two hundred slaves, and will not be very likely to go the Wilmot Pro viso if it will deprive him of a market for his slaves. They are opposed to the land indemnity from Mexico, and go for Taylor because ho was in favor of taking seven of her provinces, up to the lino of the Sierra Madre! [See his letter to Gen. Gaines.) . ' They denounce the Mexican war as "a God ab horred war," and all engaged in it as partakers in the crime; and they support Taylor because he InfietioMinssatylustireft Tnngtirrii - cmft. \bar. -- • They are the friends of peace and afraid of an other war if Gen. Cass is elected, who has been a friend of peace for thirty odd years, and therefore they go for Taylor, becau S e he has been like Go halt, of Gath, "a man of war from his youth up!" They insist upon, having a Northern candidate to humble the Smith, and are opposed to a " Northern man with Southern principles;" and therefore they take a Southern man with,no principles at all. They are desperately bent upon having "free soil and free men;" and therefore they want to elect a President who has stocked all the soil he owns with slaves. . _ • They firmly believe that the salvation of the coun try depends upon the Whig party, and therefore they went n President who is no party ,mtn; who will have no opinion of his own, but wilrbe Whig if Congress is Whig; Democratic if Congress is Democratic; Abolitionsts if Congress is Abolition. Native American if Congress is Native Ameri can; and neither one thing nor the other, if the Senate and House of Representatives happen to be divided. In short, u - sort of chameleon President, who is to take the hue and the color of the Congress he happens to light upon. .

W. F. JOHNSTON AND THE BANKS: . From the Pennsylvanian. His Accidency, Governor Johnston, has just pass ed through a region of county which has been sad ly punished for its confidence in the good faith of dishonest banks. He began his electioneering jour ney in this 'city, where thousands have been made poor by these corporations. He passed on/ to Read ing, the scene of the Berks county Bank / imposture —an institution which enjoyed the facilities extend ed to fraud by his Relief bill. From Reading hp went to Allentown, where the Lehigh County Ban' existed, in the explosion of which, so many upright and hard-working men were plundered and prostra ted. From Lehigh he passed - to Easton, the scene of still another Bank - failure, almost without a par diet in the entire history of fraud. These institu tions, in the circle of their operations, did not die pense their blessings over a limited surface. The poison of their example and their policy reached to other counties traversed by his accidency, and we have no doubt more than one of his hearers in Bucks i -, , and Mont ornery, and in the counties beyond North ampton, an testify tope fact that it is not always proper to place your trust in Banks. We presume Governor Johnston will extend his tour to Bradford county— 1 only to convince the free .oilers there of the propr ety of voting for a man who can advocate he Wil of Proviso and General Taylor at the same time. B adford was also the theatre of a rotten Bank ex lesion. Going to Milling county, where the 'Lewi town Bank gavelup the ghost, he may say with trut i that he has travelled over a portion of the State wh)cli has been highly honored by the system of eorpo l ate powers of which be has always been the friends and champion. As peOt Harty appropriate to the present campaign, we this morning publish the great veto of the la mented 'hunk, of ilia 7th of April last, upon sever al Bank p ills presented to him for his signature.— The cog ncy of its easons—thetmoderation of.its re quests—the jostle of the reforms which it suggests —are such as the' judgemeut of the people of the whole 14nion would approve, even if they had nut, unhappily, a sad experience which make these views such as defy equally denial and assault. No feature of the administration of Francis R. Shenk was more tic eptable to the people of all parties, than hii oast crying hostility to the system of irresponiii ble corp irations, and his resolute support of all just reforms in the existing banking system.. When he came fo ward for re=election last October, many in-, telligen and honest Whigs abandoned party line to tote for him. What wore then recent examples of Bankin dishonesty endeared him still more to the popular heart, and gave to his sentiments, long be-. fore ex ressed, an air of profound and practical wis.: dom, if not of prophecy_ itself. If Ju ge Lougstreth, the Democratic candidate for Govtruehas avowed himiell to be the bold and resolut friend of the Shut* policy, so has William 1 6 F. Join ston, the Federal candidate, by his public •cunduc , declared himself to be its •opponent—its bitter and malignant foe! We now have before us the Journal of the last State Senate, of which Gov ernor Johnston was a member. As this journal i f the Bth of April last, page 743, will show, William F. Johnstomnot only ,voted against the admirable doctrines„of the veto Which we print to-day, by vo ting that the bills to which it objected, should pass by the constitutional majority of two-thirds, but he also remainedlin his,seat to vote for two three or other institutions—at least one of which was suspected of some not very,honest practices! The reader will find his name recorded no less than six times against the doctrines of the admirible message which we print this morning. See Senate journals, pages 743, 744, 745, and 746. Side by side with Johnston, in this work, was Middleswarth, the present Feder al candidate for Canal Commisioner, whose course in this respect loses so much in comparison with the bold, radical, straight forward deportment of Israel Painter, (the Democratic candidate for the same of lice) while he was in Legislature. The doctrine of Governor Skunk had no more active or more resolute friend titan Col. Painter. _ But there is in the exhibition of Gov. Johnston's opinions new cause of• alarm, when we reflect that thirty-seven, applications on the subject of Batiks and Banking, have been advertised to be roade.to the next, session of the Legislature. The amount of capital for which corporate powers are demanded, is the enormous sum of NINE MILLIONS, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED AND THREE DOLLARS!— Of this immense amount, nearly TWO MILLIONS AND A HALF are for on increase of the Banking. capital of the State! We put it to the farmers nod medhanics who have been plundered by the Banking an administrAton,wttich could revive suchThstitu tions as the Berke county, Lehigh, county, Lewis town, Towanda,, and Schuylkill Banks, thoggh 'it might be under other names! If they are, let them vote for Willintri F. Johnston, whose devotion to this plundering system, he himself has proved by his opposition to the noble and - just Bank vetoes and ad-' ministration of Francis.)R. Shank, as the records will show. if the people wish the Skunk policy kept up, let them stand by the friend and disciple of Shenk, Morris Longstreth, the farmer of Montgom ery., • 1 Thelveto message of Gov.

The murdered -person was a young man named Stephen Brush, about 19 years old. He was in company with three others, younger than him self, on their way from the theatre where a play-had been performed in which one of the characters was a negro servant. They. were passing down Seneca street talking about tie play and the character, when two negroes passed them and hearing the re marks; turned round and asked what was said about negroes. Some reply s was given by. Brush when ho was struck by the npgro who asked the question.— Ile ran Rom the side wr.ra into the street purimed by . the negro, and aftcr a short• scuffle cried out "boys"-and fell.

If hat Gon. Taylor - means to say is, what I int:r from this letter he does say , that when he said hew a "not an ultra whig." and "would not be the expone t of any party principles," and "would not be the cand -• tu 1 date:of y party," and ". would accept no party noire - nation." nd " would look to no party doctrines as tl is rule of his action," and "would express no opinions olti any political subject," and "that t h e people must take him! on their own responsibility," and that " F e would as soon accept a nomination from the Democrats as whigs," and that "he would only accept a nomina tion of the spontaneous and unanimous voico of the whole people," and that " he would look to the Constitu tion, (which all Presidents are sworn to do,) and not to the views of either of the groat parties of the countryas his gilide."—if by all this lie only meant to say what he now says he did mean, that he was not a party candidate in that straitened and sectarian sense that would prevent • his being the'Prosident of the whole people, and that he would not be fettered down with pledges that were to be an iron rule of action, in despite of all contingencies, and that he would not ho required to lay violent hands indis criminately on all public officers, good or bad, who might differ with him in opinion, and that he would not force Congress, by-the coercion of tho veto power, to pass laws to suit him or none fit all—then 1 must say he has writ ten a great many letters to very little purpose, because nobody expected or required it of him ; ho cannot blame me or anybody else for not i tunderstanding him. I never should have guessed it, for. to my mind, his letters have borne a very different reading. That is certainty not what I should have understood an " ultra whig" to mean. I shonldlthink any man who would give such pledges was noer an ultra VEMOCRAT than an ultra wino, and n ultra iroor. than either ; and no man in his ould either give them himself or require them I.r. When he spoke of an ultra whig, I natural s dedthathe had'reference to some one or snore or principles of the whig party, and I succor il lod that any-of these were. • 8 protest against finis, ice do l First, in such a nil barbarous manner to expose the inconsist old Zack—telling" him to his face that "ho has great many letters to a very little purpose," and d up by calling him "nearer an ultra fool," er "an ultra democrat;" or an " ultra whig." " rascally 10-co-fo-co" had said that of the ' old We have no doubt convulsions would have xriz ntirct Taylor press. It is lucky, therefore, it om the source it does.

If ho - had relied on the . groat whig party and struck for the whig vote only, and ' not "spread his net to catch birds of every feather,l he o would have been elected without difficulty or doubt.— There would then have boon no disposition to bring Mr. Clay for Ward in the first instance, and still loss to lave opposed his election after he was nominated ; and-i he is not elected now, he has nobody to blame but himself, d and Anse by whose advice he has been governed. llnt r 'whether—in the language of the French people to Louis Phillippe—" IT HAS coin: Too t.es•c," is a question yet to be solved. I apprehend it has. , -'-• One more extract and we are'llone. It is in regard to • the Wilmot Proviso, and to it we wish to call the portion o lar attention . of free soil mon of all parties. It is another and conclusive evidence of the deep, two-faced game h the whig party is playing with old Zack. Mr. Botts is ' high authority, and he does not scruple to say that upon this question the whigs of the North and the South, rep - resent Gcn. Taylor as occupying exactly opposite grounds ✓ —certainly "both sections of the country cannot be right." But why are we left in the dark upon anther subject? o ‘Vhy are we not permitted to know what are Gen. Tay- - lor's views of the Wilmot Proviso It is very evident e that every press and every man nt the north that sup f r r,its Gon. Taylor, does it on the ground that he will not, H , and is pied Ira not to veto that measure. Mr. Webster, Mr. Ashmun Mr. Corwin, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Truman Smit I; Thaddeus Stevens, Mr. Caleb Smith, (who has repo , ted,, in his speech in Cincinnati, that ho was [mut-- - ed b the Han. William Ballard Preston, of Virginia, that I e would not veto it, and. that he would be sustained in th south if he signed it,) all take that ground ; while it is equally certain that at the south he is as generally A and universally sustained ou the ground that ho is a southern man, a slaveholdor, and that ho wilt veto Now I soy, itt this case, both sections, of_the country cannot be right, and one or the other must ho cheated; and the only way to avoid it is for - Gon. Taylor M say what he will do. The people arc entitled to know it be fore they vote. I think, perhaps too much importance is attacheil to this question, both north and south ; but that is their business. If it is of half the importance they as cribe to it, the fact ought to be known.

They were addressed by Judge Thomp son in a speech of nearly two hours length, in which he reviewed the course of the two parties since he has been in Congress—compar:ed the qualifications of the Demo cratic and. Federal candidates for the Presidency, Cass 'and Taylor—and held the mirror before the course of the whip on the war up to life. His remarks wore listened to with profound attention and satisfaction, and we 'doubt not will bo the means of strengthening our friends in that part of the county.
