Cuss, and knowing him to Ijb .the fust friend of the soldier, wo did not hesitate to pronounce the charge a wilful and dulibo. rate falsehood. Now let our readers peruse the let • tor of Senator Cameron, and they will find that the bill iutroduccd by Gen. Cass, ami which passed Con grass, instead, of taking one dollar off the soldier actually added one dollar to hit pay!

Phila. North Ante. July IG, 1847. The above extract appeared in the N. American, Ibo great organ of Federalism In- Philadelphia, not quite one year ago. Strange to say this same North American now supports tho “no party candidate,” Gen. Taylor, for tlio Presidency. Oho year ago tho “Whig party was based solely upon principle,”-ac. cording to this Whig journal, but now that paper is I willing to sacrifice all principles to a single word— availihihly." It supports a man for the Presidency who has insulted tho Whig party, by declaring him self a candidate independent of their Convention, and that if they nominated him ol all they must take him independent of all parly trammels and parly pledges, and without any avowal of principles whatever!—‘ What an attitude is the “great Whig parly” placed in 2 What dishonesty, what a base truckling to military glory, is here exhibited! Wb hope never to hear our opponents whisper a word about “ glorious Whig principles” after this. They have no princi- ples, except (bo principle common to office-seeking demagogues, but until now they never made thp ac knowledgment themselves. 'Tljat ; portion .of the parly who now support the “ r.op.irly.candidale, n of course will never again pretend to hold lo principles of any kind. The editors of the North American are of this number. REMEMBER, If there be any one Democrat who has the least desire, under present circumstances, to. vote for Gen. Taylor, let him boar in mind that in doing so he roust vote for Millard Filmore, who, when in the Congress of the United States, voted against refunding the fine imposed upon, ihe palriot Jackson; by the notorious Judge Hall, at New Orleans. Wo do not believe that any domocfat. wishes to endorse that infamous vole. - HENRY OLAY AND THE WHIGS. If the Taylor Whigs,aaya the Baltimore Argus, ever heard of Henry Clay—the gentleman who was onco buown as the " great embodiment" of their principles—wo ask them to read the following from' his petition for their nomination, issued on the lltli of April, and then slop bragging about Gen. Taylor’s prospects: n Thoy,(my Whig friends) represented to roe that the withdrawal of my nemo wonld bo FATAL TO THE SUCCESS, and perhaps lead to the dissolution of the party with which 1 have been associated particularly in the free States; that at no former period did there exist so groat a probability of my election, if I would consent to the use of my name; that the great Stales of New York and Ohio would In all probability cast their votes for me; that Now York would more certainly bestow her suffrages upon me (him any other candidate; that Ohio wonld give her vote to no candidate residing in (he slave Stales iat to me } that there is a belter prospect than had heretofore at any time existed, that Pennsylva nia would unite with them; that no candidate con bo elected without the concurrence of (woof these three Stales, and none could bo defeated upon whom oil of them should be united; (hat great.numbers of our fcllow.cillxens, both of native and foreign birth, whn were deceived, and therefore toted against me ut the last electlon,aro now eager for an opportunity of bestowing their suffrages upon me; that whilst there is a strong and decided preference for mo enter* tiiincd by the grout body of the Whig parly through, out the United States, they—the friends to whom I refer—arc convinced that lam raoro available than any candidate that could bo presented for the Ame. rioan people."
