Hiram' Roues, Apvil 22, 1849.
Bear Sir :—My opinions have recently
beeline oflen miseonceived and misrepre
sented, that I deem it duo to myself. if not
to my friends, to make a brief exposition
of thereupon the topics to which you have
called my munition.
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.

of this. lie never committed a blunder,
or lost a battle. 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, one of your Own Pensylvanians, a
man whosd reputation for truth and tumor
was proverbial, and whose wont was al

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. Y. 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.

FOR TIM CAMPAIGN.
Ir7"ln order to place the -STA II A ND
BANNER" within the reach of every
Whig in the county during the present
campaign, which promises to be one of un
usual interest, it will be furnished to Clubi
from the present time until the election is
determined in November next, at the low
rate of
FIFTY CENTS PER COPY,
payable invariably in advance. Any per
son procuring us five subscribers and for
warding the money, shall be furnished
with a copy gratis.
The price at which we offer the "STAR
AND BANNER," will barely cover the
expense of its issue. Our object is to
benefit the Whig cause. and not to make
money for ourselves. We hope, therefore,
that all who have the interest of that cause
at heart will aid us in giving an extended
circulation to our paper. If every sithseri•
her who reads this Were to look around
hint and secure but one more, our list
would be doubled. Try it, friends !
Although more than usual attention will
he paid to political matters during the
campaign, the large size of the paper will
enable 119 to do so without infringing upon
the news and miscellaneous department,
so that subscribers, besides being rendered
familiar with current political movements,
will receive a weekly digest of the news
of rite-day,--with-miter useful matter.
IC7 It is desirable that clubs for the
campaign he forwarded,as soon as 4ossi
ble, and our friends are requested to aid iu
forming them at an early day.
rrHon. Mat Nan will accept our thanks
for a copy of the Patent Office Report, and sundry
other interesting documents.

*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

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.
States Torritorbs—or in other words, the Wo.-

free—these, we apprebend, constitute a platform
sufficiently broad end distinct to be recognized by
every voter in the land. 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,

DISAFFEUTION.—THE NOMINATION
OF MR. 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.

We, of course, shall expect to see them pursue the

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!

tent for an
Improved Machine for Hulling and Clean
ing Clover-seed,
which, for thoroughly performing its work,
in a speedy manner, surpasses any thing
that has ever been presented to the public.
In order to produce a machine that will
meet the wants of the community in every
respect, the Patentee has for several years
applied himself diligently to the task, and
is now enabled to offer a machine worthy
of their consideration.
This machine has only been in opera
tion during the last season, in Cumberland,
York and Adams counties, and has given
entire satisfaction. It is a neat, portable
machine, only weighing about 400 lbs.
and of light draught, and can hull and clean
with ease Anir loads of cloverseed per day,
or one load in Iwo hours. It can be con
verted into a common windmill in a mo
ment's time. Persons desiring to pur
chase rights can see the machine by call
ing at my residence in hatimorn township.
Adams county. Owners of Clover-mills
wouid lied it to their advantage to give me
a call.
Hundreds of certificates can be given of
its utility, and the satisfactory manner that
it hulls and cleans clovermeed, and also
timothy seed, but 1 deem it only necessa
ry to refer to a few individuals at whose
barns the machine has been exhibited and
fully tested.

FIRIDIMICR, April 1'24, 18411.
Mr. J. P. Roos
lira—My oldest daughter has been afflicted for
about three years with sore throat and allerge
n:rant of the Tonsils, and for the year, so grata
was the.owelling, that she was newillgerstaharp'
mere tban half an hour at a time, without being
compelled to insert the linger in her throat oust
opening it, for the purpose of Weaning. I had
'tried every thing that was recommended, and
omplaysid.Physicians both here and In Baltimore,
but they gave no relief, (they could relieve her
only by applying the lance, hut she would not
earratintyt and it tontintred in that state ;seta hire
case ars made known to your •Kent ,etdp
place, who promptly furnished the Expectorant,
and after rising four bottles, her throat Ii alnidst
entirely cured. No one could scarcely belieier
the benefit derived from piing it. but those who
saw the state in which her throat was before
using the Expectorant, and the appearanetkadle.
There are several persons, knortit to 3+0,11'111(11i;
who have watched the progress of the seediSiatt
during its use. who are willing to' testify totba
troth of this statement whose names cith 'be hid
by calling oft him. I hare also used the
torant in cases of:Colds,.&c., in my family; sad
cie confidently recommend it.
