Musical ENTERTAiNMENT.—Our citizens were of* tardea two rich treats, in the way of musical enter' tsiamenls, on Monday ami Tuesday evenings last, by Mr. Chubdee, on Indian Chief of the Choctaw tribo. The Flute is his principal instrument, and wo can say in all candor, that he is the ipost extraordinary plrfonncr we ever lienrd. He performs also on'the Flsgelet, Fife, and on what he culls his “Sauce ipan.” We have in our tflhe ottondod many musical -entertainments, both in our largest cities and in -country towns, and we supposed that wo had hoard the best Flute players and Fife players in America. Bat wo were mistaken. The music from the Flute of this Indian Chief fur exceeds any thing we have over heard or ever expect to hoar again. And what is still fopiro astonishing, Is the fact that ho is self taught. Ho is no artist, properly speaking, but per forms, to nso his own words, on 11 natural principles” entirely.. lie iswithoul education, but yet a man of talent, and hoe, ftopi hearing the ditferenl tongues spoken,acquired a knowledge of the English,Gorman, French, Spanish, and many of the Indian languages. He speaks the English language fluently, and is very lively and entertaining in his conversation. His wife, the princess, who accompanies him, is a woman of education, and of prepossessing appearance. The two. aro accompanied in their journey by the Rev. Mr, Allen, formerly a chaplin in Gen. Taylor’s ur. my, a gentleman of high character, and who has letters-of Introduction from Gen. Taylor, Mr. Du* ohanan, Henry Clay, Prof. Durbin, and other dislln* guisbod individuals. - Mr. CoBBEB will givo his third entertainment at Education Hall, this (Thursday) evening, and his fourth and lost on Saturday evening. - Wo hope to .-see a full house oh both evenings, for wo feel satisfied Ahai hoars him will go away dissatisfied. Wo assure our readers there is no humbug m this igontlomany entertainments, and if they will bulge sand hear him’perform they will afterwards feel thank* foi that we.advised them to do so. Cohnino.— Tho Herald of yesterday, In publishing tlio proceeding* of the Federal National Convention, i* very careful not to let Its readers know wlial States supported Taylor In Convention, and what once op. posed him,' It would hot do for our neighbor to let Ills reader* know that Gon. Teylor received tho veto 4»f every Btaye Stale, end tho opposition of nearly every free State.' Oh no, lie has denounced “South, era slave-holders*’ too long and it would not do fur hlta to inform his readers that Taylor was tho can* dldalo of the slave-holders, and that tho nothern slaves ofMboWhlg party ore to bu whipped Into his sup port,. We publish tho proceedings correct in our , paper of to-day. Who U Millard Fillmore 1 Hundred# have asked this question, since they Jiavo been (old ofhii nomination Tor llio Vico Presidency. ( He it a lawyer of respectable standing In some ono of the towns of Now York, and wa# the candidate for Governor against Silas VVriout In 1844 and dc &*Ud. Ho had previously served In Congress, and ; , was Chairman of the Committee of WuysanJMeuni dating the memorably session that followed the elcc. *■' lion of Harrison. Among his public acta on that'oc* . cation, his ardent support of the BANRKurr Law, and his bitier opposition to the bill that refunded the fine imposed by Judge Hall on the Patriot Jackson, de-1 jerve to be remembered. These acts are of themselves 1 sufficient to defeat the ticket in Pennsylvania by ten#' : qf thousands, Fellow*clllienst we aro not misled by our par. iUlUlet and wishes. Within sight of our oityV steeples thpro are five thousand voter* eager to bus* tain Henry Clay, who. will not support any other Whig, and especially Gcii.Tnylor, Wo speak from facts within our knowledge." JBuoh was the language of the groat Cuy meeting in New York,, on the Friday before the Federal Convention assembled. It appears that these ♦♦ five thousand voters" are resolved to keep their promise, thus solemnly made. ,^•• ' Tbe ‘‘New York Tribune” eeyethet Gen Butler le M hontet,'breee end manly, end made a capital run for Borejnpr in 184 d." • «OH,POOR HARRY CfcAYI” The. true friends of Henry Cla£ —and lie has true friends—have,boon, most,grossly insulted - by .the late Federal National Convention. His Dole* gales wotoga'ggod, und.hissed (lavvn'lh every attempt they made Id Tho, resolutions lhpy,i offered Were ironlod.: with utter-ConleinpA-hnd they Were forced to tukq'back scats in iho Oorivenliorl, to make way for thoso whoso cowardlcowas only equalled by their insolence. The friends of Con. Taylor were in the majority, and they ruled with despotic power. VViihoul a single principle to avow, they hud-deter mined to carry their candidate by storm, and in this they succeeded. No wonder that the friends of the great'*'embodiment" of-Whlg principles denounced iho action of. the Convention—no wonder is it that they refused to vote for a resolution ratifying the nominations. They acted as any men would have acted under similar circumstances.. The nomination of Gen. Taylor has disgraced the Whig party.forever, if it can be.disgraced. It is an acknowledgment by themselves, of what wo havu often, suid, that, tho Whigs are without principles, and destitute of honor. It is well known that Gen. Taylor holds to no principles—he has said so in his letters—he has said that lie was entirely ignorant, of the great questions of government—that ho. had not voted for forty years, and scarcely know the moaning of the words Tariff, Sub-Treasury, Internal Improve” menls, National Bank, &c., &c. Gen. T. has also, in a letter over his signature, (written by Maj. Bliss, wo. suppose,) declared himself entirely incompetent for the Presidency. And if Gen. T. ever told a truth in his life, it was m making this acknowledgment. And yet, in tho face of all those acknowledgments and declarations, the ring-tailed Whig parly—a par ty which heretofore have made pretentions to .hold to cardinal principles—huvo nominated Gen. Taylor the “ no principle candidate" as their standard-bear er! And why did they nominate this man, who has no claims whatever upon them for party services,and who is notoriously destitute of qulificaliondV Be. cause forsooth, of his military achievements in a war which the Federalists themselves have prononneed “unholy, unjust,,and,damnable!" Shame, shame on Such inconsistency, such vlJlauous dishonesty, and .(ruckling. If military fame was to be the why did th'cy not nominate Geii. Scott* a roan who is not afraid to avow himself every Inch a Whig ? I Why was he thrust aside to mako way for a. man who will hot dare to say that ho will bo governed.by Whig-principles? Gen. Scott is an older soldier than Gen. Taylor—he has ifought more battles, and distinguished himself much more than Taylor, and yet ho could not bo nominated—all had to give way to the milk-and-woler-no-party-candidalo, General Taylor! The secret of tbo matter is this—The members ol the Convention from the Southern Slates were deter* mined to teach their Northern “ dough face" allies a lesson. They (the Southerner*) had noticed for some limo that tho Whig editors of .Pennsylvania and other northern States had dared to speak in, rather, an impudent (one about “ Northern rights,” and about the influence of Southern slave-holders, and they therefore determined to rebuke their , nor* therh Whig allies, by forcing them into the support of& slave-holder. Gen. Taylor they admit, holds to no principles, and they admit too, many of them, that he is scarcely fit for a Township Constable, much less for President of the United States. ' But, they care not for all that. Ho is ono of tho most extensive slave holders in the South, and deals more in human flesh than any other man in Louisiana, and in addi tion to lifts he is notorious for his severity with hist slaves; and tho Southerners therefore, knowingthal tho Whigs had no principles tfesaerißcc, were do- tcrrftincd to nominate a man whb would sustain.this “ peculiar institution of the South”—tho institution of Slavery 1 And will the Northern Whigs—those who have preached so eloquently against tho exten sion of slavery—will they drink of the bitter cup pre sented to their tips V Will they gulp down tho draught prepared for them by these very. Southern slave holders against whom they have said so much? Will they, spaniel-like, and in a truckling, cow ardly, craven spirit, swallow the dose, and give the lie to their owp former professions, and support Gen. Taylor? Will they thus doom thomsclvos.to Infamy, and receive the scorn of all honorable men ? Can they have the fact to. ask their Whig friends to give up their party principles (God knows they have few to give up,) and support a man, forced upon tho pcoplo by fraud, trickery, and stratagem? Dare they ask the friends of tho Sage of Ashland to sane tion this high-handed piece of political villainy? Daro they ask tho friends of tho greatest Whig General in their ranks, Gen. Scott, to sanction it? “Wo shall see what wo shall see." Tho Delegates to the lato Federal. National Convonlion, from tho States of Ohio, New York, and Massachusetts, declared that tho people they represented would "spurn tho nomination,” and wo bcliovo they told the honest truth... The people oro not the fools tho Whig.lenders take them to be. They will not “go it blind'* for any man, and.particularly will they re. fuse their support to one who says himself that ho has not voted for forty years, and that he is ignorant of tho affairs of Govern moot. Wo shall have inuch inoro to isay on this subjccl previous to tho election. In tho moan time wo dc* dare it as our firm conviction that C&ss and Butler will bo tiloclcd triumphantly. Wo never felt.rnori certain of a grout end glorious victory. The people I were deceived by a show of coon-skins in 1840, but lit taught them a wholesome lesson, and ono which they will not soon forgot. They aro nut to bo fright cued now, nor will they bo deceived igto the support j of a General, with sword in hand, who is afraid or 100 ignorant to say what aro his principles. At a Democratic meeting, hold in this borough on Iho 4tli Inal., a commilloo was appointed to invito Gen. Cabs to lake Cutllalu in-his route on his way homo to Detroit.

In the attempt to'erush and disgrace Henry : Clay they vyill crush and forever disgraced themselves.'. When the nomination ofihp “no-party candidate 1 * Gen. Taylor, reached Now/York, the motives and i influences which governed the conduct of the major* ity, was too obvious : to bo mistaken and the friehdsof Clay feeling thcmselvesibsulted, and knowing that their voice had been stifled in the Whig National Convention, for ho other reason than because they, wero Whigs from principle—Whigs because they revere the principles, of that party-** Whigs “dyed in the wool,” who to sink or swim with principles declared and colors flying— 7 knowing all this, wo say, they fell Indignant at the course'of tho fawning sycophants who composed the mojorityVand their lips curled con* tempt, as they declared openly that they would never degrade themselves by supporting such a. nominee— that they would not support Goh; Toyldr,lho “ no. party candidate, 11 under any circumstances.

' 1 In Mosaachuaclls, tho homo of Webster, the nomi* nation of Taylor is denounced in nearly eve/y,county of the Slate. A number of the Whig journals refuse to ploco his name at the bead of theirxolums, and others yield a cold and reluctant acquiescence. The “ Worcester Spy”, a prominent and influential Whig paper of that Staid, declares the " Whig* party has been grossly compromised Tho Daily Ad* vertiser,” the groat organ of tho halting be tween two opinions, and plates that “ 4 iA«**fWs of the nomination of Taylor is far from gratifying to a great majority of the Whigs'of Massachusetts." Tho same paper contains a call for “ all their fellow* citizens who are opposed to fho election of Cass and Tavloji to meet in State Convention orilhis-iSih ihst., to toko elicit slegs us tho occasion tfiVy doihand!” In Ohio the friends of Scott are equally indignant, Imd many v of the Whig papers of that Slate now ad mit that Cass and Butler will carry Ohio by a sweeping majority. - - « * And,|n this State, what; may wo*sk, will bo the course of the true friends of Henry Clay 7 Will they f lob, like his friends in other States, : stand up with the conscious dignity of men, and Jtjbrow back the insult which has been offered them,«W«l!l they like dumb dogs, submit tolvear tho collar prepared Ibr'’ them.by their southern masters 7 Can lhe Clay-rocn of this State, who protend to hold to Whig principles, bo thus unconscious of self-humiliation 7 Wo shall see.- A PEDERAL * Tho Carlisle Herald appears determined to sustain Us former well-known character for publishing falsehoods, in that paper of last week on article appears, taken from Hus' Reading Journal, (one of the most infamous Federal sheets in this or any other Stale,) which declares,'among other things, that 1 Gen.
