r BDP#dBT!
ID-The very able and /ar : «ecing editor of the Car
lisle. Herald In his filthy sheet of yesterday,-says that
we formerly defended Qen/Taylor from the ossaulls
enemies—and because wo do not now. admit
tbat'be is a .fit man for the Presidency, wo are guilty*
of inconsistency..!. Logical argument that, every way
worthy the'editor of lho Herald. We are free to ad.
* roll that we did defend Gen. Taylor,.and that (.00 at
a time when such traitorous miscreants os the editor
of the Herald abused and vilified him, and the men
under him in Mexico. What course did the editor of
the Hefald pursue at the time .when Gen. Taylor was
surrounded by the enemies of our country 7 Did he
‘ defend him then ? No indeed. On the contrary he
... published,Speeches of Federal members ofCbngrcss,
- in which tbs wish was expressed that Gen. Taylor
and liw brave band of patriots, might receive a web
come from the Mexicans with “ bloody hands to
* hospitable graves'.’* If ever “treason dire’* was
written on a man's face, it stood out in bold capt*
taU the Gain-like brow of the editor of the
Hbraldat that time.-, . And yet our neighbor—who has
leu pa&ibtlsin in his heart than.would.fill the knee,
pfcqof a furnished gnat—has the face to talk to us
abt&tdiahooesty and inconsistency! Jffeto complain
that wo abuse ; Gen. Taylor how! It is false—we
have never abused him. \Vo have said, and. wo re
peat it, that Gen. Taylor is no statesman—that lie*
knows nothing of the affairs of Government—and is
therefore about as well qualified for t|ia office of Pre
sident as, is the'grandmother of tho editor of the
Herald. He has performed his duly well ns a soldier
—almost as well as aid Gen. Duller perform his duly
—but,acting soldier and discharging the duties of
President are two very different things.
has been the course of the Herald in
to that pure patriot and great statesman, Gen.
Cass 7*.'The most infamous lies that ever disgraced
a. dirty and degraded sheet have been pul fbrlli by
, the sycophant of the Herald from week to week.—
The falsehoods published in that paper against Gen.
Cass, were well calculated to pul the prince ofdark
ness to the blush. What lie was 100 base to receive
the .endorsement, of the editor of the Herald 7 More
than'one of his readers have been shocked at his
recklessness, and more than one regard his course
willttlisgast—disgust for his grovelling propensities
end dastardly demeanor. Talk not to us, neighbor,
'.about tho dishonesty of our paper—talk not to us
about inconsistency, for they are crimes about which
you should never whisper a word. We fee) prepared
to drive you lo the woll, and pin you there, with one
of,your own poisoned shads, whenever you feel dis
posed to enter the field. V*'

Speech of tho'-Hpu* of Now yorh*
The Democratic Mc'etiligi Hull,'in
this Borough, on iast, gave evidence :
(hut (he Democracy ofCdrlialearodorlerpuned/todo,
their whole duty on the 7th of November, The large'j
room was crowded, to suffocation. On motion, the j
following named gentlemen wefo choacn officers of
the meeting:
President—PATßlCK DAVIDSON, Esq.
Vice Presidents—Gen. Willis Foulk, Mitchell
M’Clkllan, John Irwin, Esq., and Ca)»l. S. Crop.
Secretaries —lsaac Hingwalt, Joseph C, Thompson,
and Col. John F, Hunter.
’ "After being thus organised, J. E. Bonham, Esq.in
a few appropriate remarks, introduced to the meeting'
that able.champion of the rights of the people* Hon.
Ely Moors, of Now York,, who Was received with
throe hoaaly cheers.. Mr. Moore then addressed the
meeting for about one hour and u half. His thrilling
eloquence, strong arguments,’and bilttir sarcasm,-
enchained every ear. Wo shall make no attempt to
give a sketch of his speech, fpr we feel incompetent
to thu tusk. ; His remarks moment were like
the “soft breathings of the zephyrs,” and the , next
“like the liiunder-loncg of the impetuous torrent.”—
He spoko of Gou. Cuss, as being one of tho greatest,
atatesmen of tho age—a man against whose charac
ter, morui . and political, no responsible manwould
dare to whisper a word—a man perfectly familiar
with all the affairs of government—a ripe scholar;
whose experience, distinguished services, and sound
judgment, pointed him out as one eminently qualified 1
for the important and responsible office for which he;
had been named- 11 0 spoke also of Gen. Butler, as a;
man universally beloved by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance—-one who had periled his life in
fighting the battles of his country. The manner in
which he spoke of tho services of Generals Cuss and
Butler, was eloquent, powerful, and true.
Ho'then referred to Gen. Taylor—admitted that he
hud rendered important services id his country.in a
just war—a war. which had been commenced by the
advice of Gen. Tuylor himself. Ho was willing, ho 1
said, to admit , that Gen. Taylor was well qualified
fur the camp. But, Geo. Taylor had himself declar
ed thathc was ignorant oflhe affairs of Government
—and he (Mr. M.) believed Gen. T. hod stated the
truth. Gen. Taylor, however, great he is or may
have been as a military hero, is entirely disqualified
for the responsible. office. of President—an office
which should only he filled.by a statesman, who had,
by hard study, made himself familiar with tho Intri
cate affairs of.govcrnmcnt—a man of giant mind, of
great experience, and of acknowledged prudence.—
Gun. Tuylor posscssod'none of- these qualities—ho
hud himsclfsaid so, and every oqc knew, it to bo true
—and therefore was totally incompetent,for the dis
charge of the duties of the office.
Ho next spoko of tho so-called “Wilrool Proviso.”
He, ps a Northern. Democrat, deprecated the'institu
tion ofslavcry, and so did.Gen,Gass. Gen. Cass was
no slave huldcr, never had been, and never would bo.
But, Gem Taylor is now a slave-holder, and always
had been.; The Federalists of (he-South tfbppqrl Gen*
Taylor because of him being a slave-holder, and In
favor of extending slavery into newly acquired terri
tory. This was the position of the Federal party in
the South; and it was because the southern delegates
in the Federal National Convention Arneto,their man,
that induced .them to force Gen. T. Into a nomination
for the Presidency. What I Gen. Tuylor opposed to
slavery, and yet a purchaser and a seller of slaves 1
'Nonsense. What evidence have the Federalists th.il
Gen. Taylor is opposed to slavery ? the evidence
to bo found in the fact thal is no4r»io owner of
three hundred slates ? Is it to be found in tho fact
(hut ho lias, within the last few mouths, invested up
wards of one hundred thousand dollars in the pur
chase ofslavcs? Is it to bo found in the fact (hut he
is an extensive cotton planter, and that his immense
wealth consists in slaves ond slave labor? These
are facts which will not, cannot, and daro not be do
!nicd. .Hus Gen. Tuylor ever said'hc was opposed.to]
slavery? Oh ho—not ho. On the contrary, he 1
laughs to scorn the. proposition to prohibit slavery in!
how territory. The southern Whigs wopld regard
him as a traitor to the south, if he did not recognize
in Its broadest sense the slave-holders to ex
pend the institution of slavery/* And yet, in face of
all this, the lying, cheating Federalists of the North
—men collected together like vultures by the carrion
scent of prey, and who are united in a partnership of
plunder—have tho impudence and dishonesty to as
sert that Gen. Taylor is opposed to the extension of
slavery! Shame where is Ihy blush T A more deli
berate, premeditated falsehood was. never concocted
—a more wicked, villainous lie never was propaga
ted.
Mr. Mooro took'fiis scat in llic midst of a storm of
applause. A resolution was llicn oflcredfond adopt
ed by acclamation, tendering to Mr. Mooro llio (hanks
of the meeting for his ablc addrcss. .
Thus ended (he largest and mosl orderly meeting

, John M'Pheraon Berrien, United
from Georgia,: well known as oho of the, leading
Whlgs'of the South, in reply to an invitation recent*
ly givdtHo attend a "barbecue," uses t|io following
strong language 1
“ I imploro‘my / felldw-cilizohs pf.GeoVgia, Whig
dr Democratic, to forget for the time their patty di
visions’—to know each other, only AS SOTTHERN
MEN—to'act upon the truism uttered by Mfi Cal
houn, " that on tho vital question—the preservation
of our domestic institutions, the Southern man who
is furthest from us, is nearer us than any Northern
man can be"—that GEN. TAYLOR IS IDENTI
FIED WIT US IN FEELING AND INTEREST
—was born in a slaveholding Slate—is himself a
slaveholder—that his slave properly constitutes the
means of support to himself and family—that. HE
CANNOT DESERT US, without sacrificing his in
terests, his principles, the habits and feelings of his
life—and (hat WITH HIM THEREFORE, OUR
INSTITUTIONS ARE SAFE. I beseech'Uiem,
therefore, for the love which they bear to our noble
Slate, to rally-under the banner of Zachary Taylor;
and with one united voice to send him by acclama
tion to tho Executive chair."
The Richmond (Va.) Republican, contains a report
of a speech lately made at Hampden, Va;, by Mr.
Seger, a Whig orator, in which appears the fpllow
ing remarkable passage:
1 “ Gen. Taylor look the true view of the veto povyor
—was not for its abrogation—would not veto bills
relating to tho currency, and fiscal operations. But
in casts of palpably unconstitutional and.hasly and
inconsiderate legislation, he would exercise ■ the veto,
and, under this reservation, Hf might he safely relied
on TO VETO ANY BILL CONTAINING THE PROVISIONS OF THE
Wilmot Enoviso.”
Tho .New Orleans Bcc, the loading Taylor paper
in Louisiana, Gen. Taylor’s homo, makes the follow
ing positive declaration, which .one would suppose, if
without,authority, might bp readily contradicted by
General Taylor’s friends, or even by the old hero
himself: , • ‘ .
“Gen. Taylor Is from birth, association and, con-
Diction, identified with the South and her institaUons,
being one of the moat extensive slaveholders in.*LoUl*
eiaoa, and supported by the slaveholding.interests, os
opposed to thp Wiltnot Proviso, AND IN FAVOR
OF SECURING THE PRIVILEGE TO THE
OWNERS OF SLAVES TO REMOVE WITH
THEM TO NEWLY ACQUIRED TERRITORY.”
These arc the grounds upon which Gen* Taylor is
supported, at the South, by those who know him best*
How can Northern Wings, in the face of'such irre
fragable proof, support him.as a “free" soil” candl
dale ? •
REMEMBER, that “ Gen. Taylor is a military
man and a military man merely ” Daniel Webster
says so, and no honest man can say otherwise.
REMEMBER, that “Gen. Taylor-has performed
NO functions of a civil nature, under the Constitu-
tion of his country.”—Daniel Webster says so, and
all well-informed men know such Is the fact.
REMEMBER, that Gen.TayWhas been known (
and is only fthou)n,-by liis achievements af tlio head
of our array.” Daniel Webster says so.
REMEMBER, that Gen. Taylor-is the first man
who was ever nominated for the Presidency, in this
country, who had u neocr performed any functions
of a civil nature under tho Constitution;” and;* .
REMEMBER, that Webster, also says/Mlial Tay
lor’s nomination is “ without precedent tsrtd without
justification.! i
REMEMBER, that this-same Gen. Taylor, who
has “ neosrper/Wrmedflwy civil functions," and, who
is “ knoyin only by his achievements'at. the headof
our army,” in which he lias beerf a regular officer
for FORTY YEARS* although now a candidate for
tho Presidency, still holds on to bis sword and mili
tary commission, and will not resign either. 1
.REMEMBER, that,- is now a
candidate loTibd'Tiighcst'civfr. TRE
ceiving ■
9001,33, PER MONTH I
as.an officer of the “ STANDING ARMY /”
-REMEMBER, that Gcn.,CABS l a9 soon as he was
nominated, RESIGNED hidseat in tho United States
Senate, and RETIRED to bid home in Michigan, to
await the Verdict of the peojdo rn November.
REMEMBER,,IImI Gen. GAS'S, although now ro
celying NO PAY from government, docs not “inter*
fere in the flection,” and that Taylor IS receiving
his pay as an officer of lho*artny,and has been doing
nothing since his nomination'but writing political
letters.
It must require more than an ordinary degree of
effrontery in the Whigs, to contend before tho people
that they support General Tjiylor for the Presidency,
belieoing that if elected, ho ln restoring the
Tariff of 1849. ■ . .
GeiuTuylor is a southern Planter-Mho owner of
300 negroes—-and it *iu therefore fairly presumable,
that hfs predllcdllons ore alf in favor of Free Trade.
Wo have evidence too, that the VVhig National Con
vention which nominated him, or a majority oTit at
(oast, was opposed to the Protective Policy, and here
it is :~Mr. Campbell, a Delegate from Ohio* offered
the following resolution, which produced great ex
citement in the Convention, and was promptly put
down:, ,

The grcalcal mooting licit! in PJiilndolphla since
(ho beginning of (ho present campaign, took place in
Independence Square on Monday of last week. Tho
numbers in attendance wore estimated at twenty
thousand* The fijpWl of the Times gives a glowing
account of tho tremendous gathering, and, among
| other things, says T
I “It was really a most cxlillcraling sight .id every
true Democrat present. . It wasjual Ihokind of
mootihg wo expected and hoped. The right kind of
spirit was there. Instead of being dejected by (ho
small triumph which Whlggcry and Us amalgamated
forces have been enabled to achieve, the strong dc
termination was visible on tho. faces and hearts of
all present to redeem tho Keystone Slate from tho
disgrace of such a victory. Our friends need not
fear the result of tho 7lh of November next. The
Bull was put in motion last night, and will sweep
over this country, crushing all tho many colored op.
posing parties that may raise their heads. Tho

When tho.polls are open, vole yourself,and. then look piit for the test. Be at
hand all day, and if there be a Democrat- missing, start out after him. Possibly he
may be backward With his seeding, and unable to lose the time required to go to
the place of votihg. Send him along aitcl work for him yourself. Do anything
that is fair and honorable to gel out thq voters., It is needless to say that this is the
way the Federalists will do; they always have done so! their voters never fail to
be at the polls—while the Democrats are very often too thronged with work to gO
to the election.

Wo have eoncedcd to Taylor a number of Stales
which many consider very doubtful! and two or three
which many think are sure for Cuss. As lo those
which wo class os doubtful, wo think they, are most
likely to go for. Cass. Our friends in botji States
express tho utmost confidence that they Will. Tho
Nashville Union, ovojp'careful in Its opinions upon
the result of . elections, says: Wo protest against

A Scene following the Sentence or Smith O’Dri*
en.— After tho Court had sentenced Smith O’Brien
to bo hung and quartered, several persons rushed
forword to tho dock to take farowoll of the prisoner \
he shook them warmly and affectionately by tho
band; ho was.coot and collected, opd his manner
was calm and manly; ho loft (ho dock;vyith a steady
slop and smiting countenance, and was convoyed tp
the coll or wailing room adjoining tho dock.; When
the intelligence reached the streets that he had been
sentenced to death, crowds of persons collected about?
tho Court house, and a groat sensation was manifest,
od. Several women ran to the gales, shrieking and
throwing up their! arms in violent grief, A largo
body of the constabulary, with bayonets fixed, were
at onoo marched into the square before the Court'
houso; the jail van (drawn by two horses) was then
admitted inside the gates; and the prisoner conducted
from the cell and placed In it. The vohiolft was then
driven to the jail, surrounded by constabulary, and
(ho prisoner ro-conduelcd to his cell. The excitement
in the streets was intense, and It was not until a
considerable time had elapsed that it subsided.

Tho result of tho election of tho 10th of October, 1
has been (he apparent defeat of the Democratic can*
didatc for Governor and the triumph of your oppo

Tholr reported majority -for Governor is however
very snloll, uiid'wo have succeeded in electing our ex*
eel lent candidate fur Commissioner.
Undertbese circumstances, thuro is every induce*
merit iarally upon our candidates for President and
Vice President—Lpwis Cass and Wrn, O Butler—
whoso principles nfo known—whoso qualifications
arc undoubted, ortd whose election will confer honor
upon tho Union.
Tho untiring efforts of every Democrat should be
