Ilan, consented to the use of my name as a candidate for the Presidency. I have frankly, avowed my own distrust of my. dowse for that high station ; but having, at the solicitation of many of my'coontremen, taken my position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to surrender that position until my friends manifest a wish that 1 should retire from it. I will then most gladly do so. I have no private purposes to accomplish, no party purposes to build up,—nq enemies to punish—nothing to serve but my country. I have been very often addressed by let. ter, and my opinions have been asked upon Anon every question that might cieCur , to the writers as affecting the interests of their country or their party. I hive noialways responded to these inquiries for various reasons. I confess, whilst I have great cardinal principles which will regulate my political life, lam not sufficiently familiar with all the minute details of political legislation to give solemn pledges to exert my influence, if I were President, to carry mil thislirdv - Ann that measure. I have no concealment. I bold no opinion which I would not read ' Hy proclaim 46 my assembled countrymen ; but crude impressions upon matters ofpol icy, which may be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, aro, perhaps, not the best test of fitness for office. One who cannot he trusted without pledges, cannot be confided in merely on account of them. I will pro eced, however, now to respond to your in quiries. reiterate what I have often said—•l AM A W RIG, 641 nol an ultra itbg, If elected, I would not be the mere President of a party.

There is not another man in the army who would have fought the battle of Buena Vista but (len. Taylor,— and not another who would have won it. Examine the whole history of his exploits, in all: their details, and you see the evi 7 dense of far-reaching sagacity, and great ability. GEN. TAYLOR IS A MAN Or LEARNING Not mere scholastic learning—he has never graduated at a college—but his mind is richly stored with that practical knowledge, which is acquired from both men and books. lie is a deeply read man, in all ancient and modern history, and in all matters relating to the practical duties of life, civil arid military. Ile is intimate with Plutarch. said the speaker, Plutarch hero himself. as bright as ever adorned the page of history. (kit. Gibson.-you all, know and love Gen. Gibson, one of your Own Pensylvanians, a man whosd reputation for truth and tumor was proverbial, and whose wont was al ways the end of controversy, so ihiplicitly was it relied upon,—Gen. Gibson had told him, thet.he- and Gen.. l'aylor bad entered the army nearly together, and had served together almost ern:in:wily, until he, Gibson, retired, arid during that time, they had sat together on seventeen Court Mar dais, many of thorn important and iutri rate awes: and in every single instance, 7.4hiry Tijiler - hid 'been appointed to to draw up the opinion of the Court,—a brilliant testimony to his superior abilities. clef. Taunt's 1111111ANITY AND 81111PLIetTli . Gen. Taylor is a plain, unassuming. un ostentatious, gentlemanly man. Them is no pride, no foppery, no airs about him. He possesses the utmost simplicity of character. When in the army, he fared 'tot as his soldiers fared—ate the same food—slept under his tent underwent sim ilar faugue—for fifteen months in Mexico, neitifileeping in a house one night. His humanity, kindness, and simplicity of cha racter, had won for him the love of bis sol diers. They could approach him at all times. He never kept a guard around his tent, or any pomp or parade. He trusted• his soldiers, and they trusted and loved him in return. Not a drop of his soldiers' blood was shed by him, during the cam paign. All the blood shed under his di rection was shed in battle. We hear of no military executions—no judicial shed ding of blood. His heart moved to hu man woe, and he was careful of the lives of his soldiers, and humane to the erring, and to the vanquished foe. He is kind. noble. generous, feeling,—a friend of the masses—there is no aristocracy about him —he is a true Democrat. He will adorn the White House, and shed new light ove the fading and false Democrac}• of , the day, which has gone far into its sere and yellow leaf— , he will bringsin a true, vigorous, ver dant. refreshing Democracy. ORR. TAYLOR PROSCRIBRS NO MAN FOR He is a good and true Whig, but wil proscribe no wan for a difference of opin ioa. He hates, loathes proscription. lie loves the - free, independent utterance of opinion. lie has commanded Whigs and Democrats on the field of battle—has wit- ceased their patriotic devotion, and invin cible courage, while standing together— shoulder to shoulder—has seen them tight, bleed and die'together ; and God forbid he should proscribe any man un account of a difference of political sentiments. Ile would as soon think, said the speaker, of running from a Mexican. GEN. TAYLOR ' S POSITION. Some object, said the speaker, to Gen Taylor, because he is from the South, anti is a slave-holder. Are we not one people ! Do you not love the Union ? Hat o I not the same rights as a Kentuckian, to all the benefits of our glorious Union that you have as Pennsylvanians 1 We are one people; from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from our most northern line to the Rio Grande, we arc one people—it is all my country—it is all yours. There is no country, there never was a country, like this. Rome, in her mightiest days, never possessed so vast and splendid a country as this—so grand, so great, so &dints._ Our destiny.is as glorious as our country, if we hold together, and do not suffer sec tional prejudices to divide us: We speak one language—our identity is the same— we aro en° consolidated people—and our success has hitherto been glorious and un precedented. Shall we, then, divide in feelings? No! no! No matter where our man is from, if he is an .llmerican. Gen. Taylor in his feelings, knows no South, no Nortl, no Ea . st, no West. lie is an American! Where has he lived In his tent for 40 years. His home, for forty years, has been under the .Imerican flag!—the flag of of his whole country.- 1 He is a tuitional man—he has lived every -where, wherever-the flag waves! Ile is not - a - Soutern man—he is an ilmerietm! lie proscribis no one, either of the North or South ; and will yon proscribe him for the accident of birth and, home 1 He con demns no man for the ihstitutions of his State. Will you condemn him 1 He is a kind, generous, noble old man—a true American in heart. OEN. TAYLOR'S HABITS. He is a temperate man—he never drank a bottle of spirits in his life. His habits are exemplary. GENERAL TAYLOR'S INFLEXIBILITY OF ERA-. RACTSR Finally, said the speaker,•he is a man you cannot buy--a man you cannot sell— s man you Cannot seare—and a man who never 'surrenders! - now Hinsav-CLave--We hare every reason to believe (says ,the N.

Express of Saturday) that a Voice from Ashland has come - out at last, hushing the stormy elements *sir were at work in the Whig piny. • Mr. Clay, we are assured, does not hes itate to say that he will support Gen. Tay lor, and that Gee. Taylor will be elected by an overwhelming majority. He and Gen. Taylor have ever been on the best of terms, and the only fault found with him by Mr. Clay is the Same fault that many of us found before the Allison letter, that he did not occupy a sufficiently deci ded Whig position. Under the doubt at tending that position, it is pSobable that Mr. Clay expressed some surprise that he was columnated by a purely Whig Conven tion, but tliat,*as he is nominated, al) good Whigs will support him. Thus they who arc using Mr. Clay's name -for factio'us purposes are rebuked by himself. .SETTINO VP WITH INK SICK r..-111.1 UlllO it itt Said that when a.

TAYLOR'S PRINCIPLES—Korn° few oldie Locofoam wstu to ho much &dud"' by doubt,' an to General TAT Loll . n political orthodoxy, and complain loudly of inability to discover true position. Let us call Gen. Taylor himself to tap stand, and see what ho says. First, in a Wet dated Monterey,' Mexico, Aural. 3rlB 17, *diamonds° Hoe. 3 . A. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, Gcn. Taylor says : "After the discussion which occurred in both Houses of Congress, at the last ses sion, growing nut of the capitulation of Monterey, in which discussion you thought proper to defend my conduct in regard to that transaction, when assailed somewhat, if not entirely, on party grounds, I can hardly imagine how any one who was present and heard the speeches on that oc casion or lead them after they were pub lished, COULD \CULL &IMAM.: THU COMPLIIX• lON 01 MV commit. At the last Presiden tial canvas*, it ,was well known to all with whom I mixed, IVhigs and Democrats— for I had no concealment in the matter— that I was decidedly infavor of Mr. Ci.Av's election, and I would now prefer seeing' him in that, office to any innitadual in the Union." non county, of Wnoltington county E ELECTORS, 13.

Sill, 24. K. A. Purvianee. Again—in hie totter to Col. Mitchell, of Cincin nati, Ohio, dated Baton Rouge, Feb. 12, 1848, (kn. Taylor says : "In reply to the closing remarks of ynur letter, -I -have no-himitinn in stating, as I have stated on former occasions, that I Alf A W IG, though not au ultra one, and that I have no desire to conceal Walt:et from any portion of the polite of the l. Slates." iu hisicaCi to Cs pt dated Hawn Rouge, April I:2d, 1848, he says: "My opinions have been so often mis conceived and misrepresented, that I deem it due to myself, if nut to my friends, to make a brief expositionn of them. / have no ronetalment. I hold no opinion which I could not readily proclaim to my assem bled conntrymen. But crude impressions upon matters of policy, which may he right to-day and wrong to-morrow, are, perhaps, not the best test of fitness fur office. One who cannot be trusted uilh out pledges cannot he confided in merely on account of them." The General then goes on to Iny down ihenr ticleti 01 his erred. He gays : Fnner-1 reiterate what I have so MIMI said : laaa a Whig. If elected I would not not be the mere President of a party. I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. I should feel bound to administer the government untrammelled by party SHICOICS. SECOND—TIIE VET° PowEn.--The power given by the constitution the Ex ecutive, to interpose his veto, is a high conservative 'power : but in my opinion should never be be exercised, except in ca ses of clear violation of the constitution, or manifest haste and want of consideration by congress. Indeed. I have thought that for many years past the known opinions and wishes of the Executive have exerci sed undue and injurious influence upon the legislative department of the govern ment ; and for this cause I have thought our system was in danger of undergoing a great change front its true theory. The PERSONAL ortsrp,is of the indicator! who 100 . 0 happen to occupy the executive chair, ought not to control! the action if Con gress upon cpce..itions of domestic policy : nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power hate been settled by the - various depart ments of government, and acquioced in by the people. Tinto.—Upon the subject of the TAR IFF, the CORRENCV, the IMPROVEMENT of nor great HIGHWAYS, RIVERS, LAKES and !hulloes, the wiu. of „THE PEOPLE, as ex pressed through their Representatives in Congress, ought to be respected and car ried out by the Executive." FOURTR—THE MEXICAN WAR.—NIV life has been devoted to arms, vet I look upon war at all times and under all cir enmstances as a NATIONA CA LAME -. TY, to be avoided if compatible with na tional honor. The principles of our gav eminent as well as our true policy- ARE OPPOSED to the subjo,ga:ion of other nations, and the dismemberment of other countries by conquest. In the language of the great Washington, "Why should we quit our own to stand upon foreign ground ?" Plainenough. all this, we should suppose. But this is not all. We have his views on the Tariff question in a letter of his friend and neighbor, Joust BUNIILES, Esq., who, writing from Baton Rouge. a few do's before the assembling o f the National Convention, says : '1- feel, of course, much interest in the appproaching Presidential election, for the success of a good Whig, and Tariff moo. My choice of all men would be Mr. ('lay, if there is any probability of getting him. If not, I shall be very much pleased to have Gen. Taylor, whom I know perso nally to be a good {nig, and a Tariff man, as I recently had the pleasure of hearing him expressa his views upon this subject." ON TILE SLAVERY QUESTION, Gen. TLOR is also sound, as will be seen by the fol lowing important paragraph from the Huston Daily Atlas, of June 10 : 'Col Johnson, of Upper Piqua, Ohio, who was selected by the Whigs of hliami, as their delegate to the Convention—a staunch, undoubted Whig—who has, in a long life dvoted to the cause, done it great ' :ervicu—a delegate to Harrisburg, in 1830, and to Baltimore in 1844; and who has known General Taylor long and intimate ly, writes in a letter before us that he is all we could desire upon this very point. Ile writes that he has heard him (Gen. Taylor) 110.0err,''with much force, HE REGARDED SLAVERY se A GREAT EVIL TO THE COUNTRY, and ex-' 'premed a strong hope that the time might arrive when we could ,GET AID OF IT ALTOGETHER ;.'and Col. Johnsen de clares his firmest conviction that Gen. TAYLOR "is the last man to countenance its being extended loony new territory that may be brought into the. Union." And in coialirmation of thie f Gen. Taylor him: self, in a leuer to the editor of the Cincinnati Sig nal, states that he ontanTur..tornoves" the lead ing article of that paper, to which his attention had been called, and which deprecated wrongly the introduction of Slavery into territory alrotoly free, Mid insisted on the renewed of Mr. Jefferson ' s ordinance of 1798, prohihithie idavery in the U.

It is she true platform— s Whit.pistform—anit will be sustained as curb Vibe People M November next. GEN. TAYLOR & SLAVERY.—In April, 1847, the editor of the Cincinnati Signal aent to Gen. Taylor, an editorial article, in which occurs 11w following paragraph : "The only path of safety for those who may hereafter fill the Presideatiill office, is to rest in the discharge of the executive functions, and let the lewislative will of the people find utterance and enactment. The Amotlioan people are about to assume the responsibility of frualting , the institutions of the Pacific States. We have no fears for tho issue, if the arena of the high de bate is the assemblies of the people and their Representative Halls. • The exten sion over the continent beyond the Rio Granite of the Ordinance of 1847, is an object too -high and permanent to be baffled by Presidential vetoes." To this article Gen. Taylor responded in a let ter to the editor of the Signal, dotal Monterey, I May, 8, 1847, giving his entire approval, as op pears by the annexed paragraph : "With these remarks, I trust you will panlon me for thus briefly replying to you, which rile with a high opinion, and APPROVAL of the un lithoits atul tiara enthral ril ix your editorial." Now the ordinance of 1847, to which the editor of the Signal alludes, and of which gun. Taylor approves, reads as follows: "Art. 6. There shell be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in said territory, (territory horth-west of the Ohio river,) otherwise than in the punishment oferimes, whereof the party shall be duly convicted, &e." So much fur Oen. Taylor on the Slavery glies tion. Now let on see what Gen. Cass says on, the same subject. In his speech in the U. S. Senate, lust session, Gen. Cass declares— "That Congress has an 1111 ff e rsigil to prohibit the relotion of master and slave, in the territory that may lar arquirril by this tioremment, than it has to prohibit the relation of man andwife." Here, then, freemen of the North, we have the issue—bloat' and distinct—Slavery or No Slavery —Cass or Taylor. Can you hesitate as to your GEN. TAYLOR AND TIIE: "NATIVES" —That the presses anal tongues, which were so busily plied in the work of slander and abuse against the noble and CLOT in 1844, should now direct their venomous assaults against Gen. TA T ion and his supporters, is not surprising. Po/duo/ gamesters do not idler touch front others, and when bankruptcy and ruin stare them in the face, it in but natural that the desperation of the broken gambler should characterize their move ments. Still we deeply regret to observe that the wilful and deliberate falsehoods, misrepresenta tions, and villification with which the campaign of 1544 watt so closely prosecuted by a large num ber of the Locofoco presses. are to hr revived and again to be made the means, if possible, of elect ing to °dice candidates whose claims could not bear a rigid and truthful scrutiny. The charge of "Na theism," preferred against HEM T CL O T in 1844, with the view of amusing the prejudices of the foreign portion of our population, is now directed against Gen. Ta ) lor, and the old hero is contempt uously styled the "candidate of the Native Party:' We do not now advert to the charge with the hope Of inducingfts ithdruwal. None know better than theme same editors that the imputation of "Net tiseism" against Gen. Taylor is false ; natal , pre fern-Mg the charge with a knowledge of its fulnity, we cannot expect them to correct it. For the benefit of our readers, however, we will say that (fen. Taylor was nor nominated by the Native National Convention. Gen. Peter liken Smith, their acknowledged leader, wrote to Germ. Tat for several letters, belbre the assembling of the Con vention, upon the subject of Nativism, but received such chilling 'tidies, that the Native Convention, while it nomiosated a candidate for Vice Presi dent, deemed it proper only to recommend Gen. Taylor. And Gem Taylor, in reply, positively NEFI,RD to to- regarded the exponent of their party doctrine:, as will be seen by the annexed letter to Gen. Smith : BATON BOVOE, La., Jan. 30,'48 :—YourSne communication of the 15th inst. has been received, and the suggestions therein offered duly considered. In reply to your inquiries, I have again to repeat that I have neither the power nor the desire to dictate to the American peo ple the exact manner in which they should proceed• to nominate me fur the Presiden cy of the U. States. If they desire such a result, they must adopt the means best suit ed, in their opinion. to the consummation of the purpose; and if they think fit to bring me before them for this oflice through their legislatures, mass meetings or conven tions, I cannot object to their designating these bodies as Whig, Democratic, or Na tive. But in being thus nominated, I must insist on the condition—and my position on this point is immutable—that I shall not be brought forward by them as the candidate of their party, or considered as the EXPONENT of their party doctrines. In conclusion, I have to repeat that if I were nominated for the Presidency by any body of my follow-citizens, designated by any name they might choose to adopt, I should esteem it an honor, and would ac cept the nomination, 'provided it had been made entirely independent of party cod siderations. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your ob't servant, Z. TAYLOR Peter Sion Smith, Esq , Philadelphia Reader, preserve this letter. Take care of it ; and whenever you hear a Locofoco talking about Gen. Taylor's Nufiveism, silence him by its pro duction. IlfrThe Loeofoco papers Ray that Gen. Ts rico a did not decline the nomination of the Native Amer can Collocation, and that therefore he is a Native. Well, soma fifty or a hundred Locofoco meeting* also nominated him before the Whig National Convention acted in the matter. Old Zack did not ekelhee' 'hese nomination.. I. he therefore a Lecofoco !--Land if so, why do the Locofoco pa per* so bitterly oppose him POSITION OF PARTIES.---Thi Washing ton Union says—with a reckless disregard of the truth by the wtsy—that the "best of the Whip are moving every where, because the Whig party has not the manliness to take any position." That is just the complaint Santa Assns might have maile'against Goa. Taylor at Buena Vista. The duty of the Whip le to dislodge that guerrilla band which has possession of the govern/neat.— The “pueltion" of thb Whip is plain ; they are opposed to the locofocos and Looofoooism.

VAN II UREN.--The Loa:four papers devoted to the support of the Baltimore nominees, are amusing their readers with' liberal quotations firma sundry Anti-Slavery, end a few disaffected Northern Whig, papers denouncing the obtains tion of gen. Taylor, with the view of relieving the faithful from the depressing Influences of the whole sale defection in their own ranks, among the Barn burners and othm.free-territory Democrats, in the North and West, who cannot swallow Gert. Cass and his Pro-Slavery notions. They take good care, however, not to tell their readers the undeni able truth—that for every vote Gen. Taylor loses (ruin the Whig ranks he will gain'tais from the other aide. Every _ intelligent politician knows this—every candid man admits it; and yet ,these Loonfoco papers talk of •"Whig defuction 1 9 Why, in New York State alone there are forty-sine Lo. cofoco papers which refuse to support Gen. Cam— room than all the disaffected Whig and Abolition papers throughout the Union put together. Our readers have no doubt already learned that the Barnbumers Convention at Utica, N. York last week unanimously nominated .lil A RTIN VAN BUREN as the Free-territory candidate. A let ter from Mr. Van Buren was mad in Convention, taking strong ground •gyuyst Gen. Cass, stating that he could not support him because of his sym pathy for Southern institutions, and urging the Convention to nominate • good and true man, who could command the support of We free Dem crate of the North. His desire to remain in pri vate life would prevent his accepting the nomina tion, if tendered him. The Coliverition. however; determined min& nate Mr. VAN Millis, and there is but little doubt that Wail! consent to run. He was broken down by the Slave power in the Baltimore Convention in 1814 ; his friends will now turn the tables, and break down that same Slave power in 1818. The Convention also nominated Gen. Dopes, of Wis consin, for Vi' President. John Van Buren, Benjamin F. Butler, Churchill C. Cambrialleng, and other prominent men, heretofore occupying distinguished positions in the Locofoco party, par. ticipated in the proceedings oldie Convention, and give the new movement their entire approbation. ACCEPTED.—Mr Van Buren has fininally accepted the lianthurnera' nomination. "WHITE SLAVERY.' —Our readers will all remember the savage ferocity with which General lA ft assom was attacked, eight years since, on the charge of selling white men into slavery, because, as Governor of the Northwestern Territory, lie signiatir hill to hire out the services of vagrants.— We, of course, shall expect to see them pursue the same course of virtuous indignation against Gen. Cam, for appending hi 4 signature to the following bill, when territorial Governor of Michigan : "AN ACT for the posishment of idle and di os drrly persons." Section 1. Be it enacted by the Gover nor and Judges of the Territory of Mich igan, that any Justice of the Peare, nu conviction, may sentence any v agrtnt, lewd, idle or disorderly persons, stubborn servants. eOllllllllll (fru n ard s common nightwalkers. pilferers, or any persons wanton or licentious in speech, indecent behavior, common milers or brawlers, :melt as neglect their calling and employno misspend what they earn. and do not pro vide I',r themselves or families, to be whip- Iped not exceeding ten stripes, or to be de livered over to any constable, to be ein ployed in labor not ex (wiling three months, by such countable, to be hired out fur the best wages ; the proceeds of which to be I applied to the use of the poor of the county. Made, adopted, and published at Detroit, the 27th day of Julc, IH2B. LEwts 'APB, G9vernor of the Territory of Michigan TOO MUCH NOISK—Gen. CA1,14, on hie way home, was received at Cleveland, Ohio, with a large display, by his political Friends. Judge Wool; addremed him, introducval him to the two ple and welcomed him to the hoapitality of the city. Judge W. then said: "And, air, permit me on this occasion to call yotri attention to the fact that our political opponents declare that you are op posed to the improvement of our Western ricers and harbors, and that we have al ways met this declaration with the assur ance that Gen. Lewis Cass, as a Western man, was hilly identified with the interests of the west, and could not be opposed to the improvements so much needed by the people of the West and of the whole coun try. "It may not be improper for me, sir, to anode to one more topic which is, especi ally to this immediate district, a topic of the deepest interest—l refer to the iustitu of slavery. We are told, sir, that, should you secure the election to the Presidency of the United States, your administration would lend its influence to the extension and perpetuation of human slavery. unto People here assembled will, with the greatest pleasure, now listen to any emnmunication which, sir, it may be your pleasure to submit." There was a glorious chance for the General to show liis hand, and remove aU doubt of what he thought and intended on the important and vital matters to which his attention had been officially called. And accordingly ho thus explicitly re replied "Sir, the noise and coifusion which pervades this assembly will prevent my being heard on the important topics to which you have called my attention. I must, therefore, content myself with thank ing you for the generous reception which I, the unworthy representative of the great Democratic party of the country, have re ceived at yoUr hands." We apprehend that after November next, Gen. Gies will have come to the concluipimt that there was too much "noise and confusion" alms the Western Hirers and Lakes about election times!
