CONTRASTS.
The Soldier and the Demagogue.
READ AND THEN DECIDE.
Gen: TAYLOR (a soldier) has written :-..
" The principles of our government,
tis well as its true policy, are opposed to
the subjugation of other nations, or the,
dismemberment of other co ntries by
conquest. In the language of the great
nshington, < WHY SHOULD WE
QUIT OUR OWN TO STAND ON
FOREIGN GROUND V'
But just the reverse of this is the common
language of the demagogue, Mr. Cass ! On the
17th of January last, in reply to gentlemen who
had expressed something like horror at the tone
of the President's message concerning the war,
and the eagerness of certain Senators to carry
out his recommendations of farther conquests,
and of the occupation, if necessary, of all Mex
ico, Mr. Gass ridiculed the apprehensions of
Senators who had spoken of the present as a
p..rilous crisis.
.< Let me say (remarked Mr. Cass) that it
takes a great deal to kill this country. We hoe,
had an alarming crisis almost every year. Pet
we have out-lived them all, and advanced in all
the elerrimts of power and prosperity with n ra
pA;ty heretofore unknown in the history of na
timis. Ir mu o110 , :LD SWALLOW Mexico TD-
Aumttow, 1 no Nor finis. IT WOULD KILL US.
TIII Senator from North Carolina and myself
may not live to see it, but I am by no mans
Ahtistied that the day will not COMP in which
the whole of the vast country around us will
form one of the most magnificent empires the
world has yet seen."
Swallow all Mexico !" Nothing alarms the
voracious Michigander ! But hear Gen. TAY
LOR (the soldier) again:—
I sincerely rejoice at the prospect of peace.
My life has been devoted to arms, yet I look
upon war at all times and under all circumstan
ces as a NATIONAL CALAMITY, to be avoid
ed, if compatible with, National honor."
" The soldier, aware of the honors of war,
shrinks from the " National calarnity,"—but
the Anaconda Demagogue thinks nothing of
swallowing a nation at a gulp. But hear again:
On the 20th of January, upon a resolution
proposed by Mr. Mangum, calling for informa
tion in regard to the reported orders of Major
Scott, (in conformity with the policy sug.
g,ted in the President's preceding annual mes
sage) to spread our army over the whole of
Mexico, Mr. Cass expressed his hope that the
Executive would communicate fully to the Sen
ate and to the House, the whole objects which
the proposed call had in view.
"I hope," said he, ‘, that the Executive will
soy, in so many "opts, that its object is, in any
circumstances, to conquer Mexico."
Mr. Manlius, (in his scat)—To conquer
Mexico."
M r. r,rat. to coupler Mexico.
S,veral Senator:—The whole
Mr. Cais—The whole ; but not to bold it all.
To conga -r Mexican injustice—to conquer Mex
ico until she seeks a fair and honorable peace ;
and I hope the Executive will carry on its op-'
erations in every part of the Mexican country
till that object be accompli , hod."
In a subsequent part of the same debate his
formal declaration about " swallowing all Mex
ico" being brought into question, the General
said :
Well, sir. I rep Nit again that I have no be
lief that, if Mexican indepmdenee were annihi
lated to-morrow, and the whole country annex
ed to the United States, it would kill us."
On the same point, later in debate, he took
occasion to express himself yet more plainly
We may have to make the great experiment,
en dreaded by the Senator from South Carolina
and the Senator from Kentucky, and annex the
domains of Mexico to our own. This is the
penalty which national injustice has often been
called upon to pay, and which Mexico may be
preparing for herself."
Which of these men is preferable for the
Presidency, the Soldier or the Demagogue
for one or the other must be the man. Who
makes the best Chief Magistrate, a Cavignac or
a Ledru Rollin
No men are so dangerous to the Peace and
Prosperity of a People as the Demagogues.—
None so shatter and shake the stability of a na
tion. None are so flippant in negotiations, or
diplomacy, as they who think so little of the
horrors of war as to believe that blood-bought
conquests are but pastimes, that never «kill
us_
If Gen. Cass is elected, the People approve,
in electing him, of the levity and flippancy, and
the spirit with which he speaks of conquering,
annexing, and swallowing a neighbor's soil!—
What reproof could such a man give to a Buffalo
Hunt on the Rio Grande, or how could he rein
it in I
To merchants, manufacturers, mechanics,
farmers, ship-builders, sailors, stevedores,
workingmen,—in short, to all, we commend the
perusal and the re-perusal of the contrasts that
we above present. Then decide which is the
safest President: The Soldier Taylor, or the
Demagogue Cass.

'rms is the true position now occupied by the

The Dictator, Or One-Man Power.
Among all the inroads and abuses of
the Loco Foco progressives upon the
rights of the People and their represen
tatives, as guarantied in the Constitu
tion, there is nothing that calls more se
riously the attention of the people at
this juncture of change and reform, than
the encroachments and usurpations of
the Executive Department of our Gov
ernment. For years past the people
have had mere nominal representatives.
Their voice has been swallowed up and
silenced by the imperious injunctions
and prerogatives of the Executives ; and,
as n last resort, the kingly veto has been
introduced when all other means foiled
to thwart the will of the people. The
honest and intelligent masses of the
laud have felt the humiliating yoke of I
the one man power, and the country has
groaned and suffered under its tyrntini
cal and oppressive sway. Too much
power and authority has been centered
upon, and exercised by, the Executive
head of the great progressive party of
the day, and the people have had an eye
on its injurious and downward tendency
, too long, we hope, to submit to its unc
' qual and unconstitutional reign any lon
ger. What has not been done by party
cunning and deceit, has been easily ac
complished through the agency of Ex
ecutive favor and patronage; and the
corrupt and unhealthy condition into
I which our country has been plunged by
this Executive interference with the
I Legislative department, is truly heart
rending and astounding to all lovers of
their country, and its pure and unsullied
constitutional guaranties.
I And now, to obliterate and sweep
from existence this spirit of Executive
interference with the legislation of Con
: gross, who is most likely to serve lion
catty the views and wishes of the pea
! pie, Cass or Taylor 1 Certainly not the
' vaseillating Cass. With him you have
a man who will fellow in the wake of the
corrupt and disorganizing dynasty, the
• grievous ills of whose mis-government
you have been laboring and groaning
' under so disadvantageously for the last
twenty years—a man who will thwart
the will of the people, ns expressed
through their representatives, by the
exercise of the kingly veto—a man as
opposite and inimical to the wishes of
the people and their rights and interests
as monarchy itself, and one who would
unhesitatingly entail upon his country
all the direful evils of "war, pestilence
and famine," in order to satiate his in
ordinate propensities and gratify a wild
and selfish ambition. With such a man,
,the people have no business; and from
the contaminating touch of a man so
corrupt, the Chair of State should ever
remain free and unstained.
But to wipe out and strike from exis
tence this stain upon the escutcheon of
the Executive department of our Gov
ernment, and reinstate it in all its puri
ty and virtue, as unspotted and unstain
ed as when surrendered to his succes
sor by Washington, we have the honest,
pure, and uncorrupted ZACHARY TAY
LOR. It is to wash out and purify these
cankering stains on the Executive de
partment that we urge his claims. It is
to insure the voice of the people, as ex
pressed through their delegates, that
the shouts of the multitude are raised
for him ; for he stands pledged to ack
nowledge and respect the will of the
people as expressed through their rep
resentatives in Congress, on any of the
great measures of public policy that may
come up for action. To settle the mat
ter, the following short paragraph will
unfold to you his real position, and the
sentiments entertained by him on this
particular subject. With one blow he
strikes at the very root of the evils un
der which the country has been suffer
ing so long. Hear what he says
"I have thought for many years past the
known wishes and opinions of the Executive
have exercised undue and injurious influence
upon the legislative departments of Govern
ment, and from this cause I thought our system
was in danger of undergoing a great change
from its true theory. The personal opinions of
the individual who may happen to occupy the
Executive chain, ought not to control the action
of Congress upon questions of domestic policy.
• • • Upon the subjects of the tariff, the
currency, the improvements of our greet high
ways, lakes, harbors, the will of the People,sa
expressed through their representatives in Con
gress, ought to be respected and carried out by
the Executive."
To the ordinary desires and wishes of
a free people, what could be more ex
plicit or satisfactory; what more to the
point; or what more in keeping with
the true intent and meaningof our Con
stitution and its vouchsafes and guaran. .
deal To sum up in a few words, we
have a strong yet plain and simple
pledge from an honest mast--one whom
HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1848.
we know and can trust—that he will
not interfere with the known wishes of
the people by the exercise of his veto; '
that he will not oppose, under any cir
cumstances, any measure which has
previously been sanctioned by the sover
eign will of the people, and which is
calculated to redound to the interests of
the people and the honor and glory of
the country. Under his reign we will
have no vetoes—no stubborn opposition
to the known wishes of the people; but
we will have one who, standing upon
the broad platform of true Republican
ism, with the CONSTITUTION for his shield
and support, will delight in being the
President of the whole people, free and
untrammelled by the shackles of faction
or party.
HON• THOMAS CORIVIN4
As an act of justice to Mr. Corwin, we trans
fer to our columns the following extract from a
speech delivered by him at Cleveland on the
14th ultimo. It effectually crushes a calumny
which has been widely circulated by the Loco
foco press, and under circumstances which leave
no other conclusion than that it was premature
and deliberate
"Fellow citizens—A placard was pla
ced in my hands this morning, contain
ing a garbled extract from a speech
which 1 had the honor to address to the
American Senate, and calculated to mis
lead you in reference to myself. When
the President of the United States had,
without the authority of _Congress,
plunged the nation into the recent atro
cious war with Mexico, it became my
duty, as a member of the Senate, to in
vestigate the facts connected therewith.
After thorough examination and mature
reflection. I believed that the war was
uncalled for, unnecessary, and therefore
an unjust \via ; and while I stood ready
at all times to vote all necessary sup
plies for those gallant and patriotic
young countrymen of ours who so nobly
flew to the standard of their country,
yet I was in favor of an immediate or
der to the General in Chief of the army,
for a prompt withdrawal from the terri
tory of Mexico. And in my speech to
the Senate, to which 1 have already al
luded, in showing the Mexicans' pow
erful inducements for a protracted
struggle, I stated that ours was an inva
ding army, and that the citizens of a
weak and distracted sister Republic
were called upon to defend all they held
most sacred—the ground rendered con
secrate by the blood of their sires, the
graves of their fathers—their mothers,
sisters, offspring, and their firesides;
and 1 stated that were I a Mexican I
would meet this army with bloody hands
and welcome it to hospitable graves.—
And who of you, fellow-citizens, were a
foreign army to invade our own soil, no
matter what the cause might be, would
not thus meet and thus welcome them 1
The man who cannot respond to such a
sentiment is a traitor, and unworthy a
place among men. And for uttering
this sentiinent, to which no true patri
ot would take exception, I am represen
ted as wishing my brave countrymen to
be slaughtered in a foreign country, in
this execrable war!

Deintickatie Testimony.
At a Locofoco meeting held at Raymond,
Miss., on the 23d of September, Col. JeFFERSON
DAvls paid the folldwitig beautiful tribute to
Gen. Taylor. It is much to be regretted that
such men should confess the obligations of par
ty to be paramount to those of patriotism. Still
the remarks will be read with interest, as they
contain the free offering of a soldier's heart and
the testimony of a witness, who speaks not
from idle report, but from a personal knowledge
and appreciation of Gen. Taylor's qualities and
character
He ran over some of the prominent
measures of public policy in which he
took an interest during the late session
of Congress—spoke in terms of severe
condemnation concerning the " defec
tion" of Benton and Houston on the Or
egon bill—said nothing about Polk—
gave out that the Northern Democrats
were no longer worthy to be called
" allies of the South," and he should
never again speak of them as such, and
came at last, with evident reluctance to
the Presidential contest. He said if
any person expected him to speak evil
of General Taylor they would be disap
pointed. He knew no evil of the old
hero, and spoke of him as one of the Pu
rest and noblest men the world had ever
seen. The Colonel seemed greatly mo
ved in speaking of Gen. Taylor, and his
eulogy on the old man was beyond all
question the finest we ever heard. It
was received with thunders of involun
tary applause. He referred to the kind
ness and almost paternal regard shown
by Gen. Taylor to the Mississippians
under his command, and was again in
terrupted by a storm of cheers.
He said the old General stood god
father to the sons of Mississippi when,
amid the war and smoke of the fight,
they were baptized in blood on the
heights of Buena Vista—and was again
compelled to pause by a hurricane of
applause. He said that during the pro
gress of the battle, after he (Col. Davis)
was wounded, Gen. Taylor came and
sat down by him—the hrm determina
tion on his•brow seemed struggling with
an expression of deep sorrow for the
brave fellows who had fallen, and those
who were yet to bite the dust—when, on
being interrogated as to his purpose, he
replied, while the firo of an unconquer
ed will gleamed in his eye—"My woun
de'l are behind me, and I shall never pass
them alive!" About this time the crowd
became so excited that they were almost
ready to carry the Colonel from the
stand. But he was not done yet. He
said that, after all, Gen. Taylor, in a po
litical point of view, must be regarded
as identified with the party which had
nominated him, and that therefore he
(the Colonel) would be obliged to vote
for Cass and Butler.
Following up his remarks,.lie•denoun
ced Van Buren, and expressed the hope
and confidence that Cass would prove
more honest than the Sage of Linden
weld. Throughout his speech, at every
turn, he confessed in substance, that
nothing but his allegiance to the party
which had elected him United States
Senator, restrained him from voting for
Gen. Taylor. He substantially admit
ted, that his duty to his party was more
imperative than his duty to his country.
AUTUMN.
"The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year"—
and yet the most beautiful—for however
bright and gay, and joyous, other sea
sons may be, there is a rare beauty in
the dying away of the many hued vege
tation, which makes a deep impression
on the lover of God and nature, filling
the heart with piety, and imparting to
the season a glory surpassing far the
grandeur of Spring. There is in fact,
more heart in this season, than in all
the others of the year, and it is justly
calculated to turn the mind to that Su
preme Benifieence which has made even
decay and death so glorious; while as
the once green leaves fall to the ground,
we are reminded that man, too, cometh
forth as a flower and is cut down—" that
all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of
man as the flower of the grass." It is
the figure of the down-hill of life, and
oven the silent falling of the leaf, speaks
to us in the voice of kill 4 who " chan
geth the times arid the seasons," telling
of the approach of the autumn of life,
and whiter and death, when the mur
moving rills shall be stopped, and the
vital current frozen.

frnE CONGIRESM OF 176.
We take from the Knickerbocker an
interesting picture of the old Congress
of '76 :
"In the President's chair sits Han
cock, crowned With a demeanor grace
ful and splendid, like the "blazing Hy
perion on his robed throne." Promi
nent in the heroic band, and oldest of
their number, is he who at the same
time snatched the lightnings from the
skies and the sceptre from the oppres
sor's hand. There too, is Morris, the
financier of the revolution, whose ..gen
erous aid, advanced on his own credit,
paved the way for the victories at Tren
ton and Princeton, and in the gloomiest
hour caused the American eagle to soar
aloft towards heaven. More retired,
but not less' interested, is that old Pu
than, Samuel Adams, "his front engra
ven thought and public care." He was
among the first to excite popular rebel
lion against wrong, and he is here to
aid the progress and pray for its con
summation. Of tew words, but aboun
ding in great and beneficial deeds, he
sits in council grave and . taciturn, like,
grey haired Saturn quiet as a stone,"
his soul firm as granite, and unbending
before the storm. His more oratorical
namesake, John Adams, with watchful
eye and ear is scanning the proceeding,
while every look betrays his readiness
to exemplify his favorite maxim, "I
would rather be in the wrong with Pla
to, than in the right with Epicurus."—
Lee, whose inimitable assiduity and
elaborate giace, moves in chivalrous
majesty of the scene. Witherspoon,
the divine, " visible written blessed in
his looks," is there with the meekness
of a Minister of Jesus Christ, but with
a firmness that never quailed in the
presence of his country's foe. In the
alternative between the sacrifice of free
dom or the loss of life, like the Spartan
mother, he would rather have seen his
son brought home a corpse upon his
shield, than dishonored by its loss.—
And Rutledge, the youngest of the pat
riots, comes forward to illustrate in his
own person, the ancient apologue of the
youthful Hercules, in the pride and
strength of beauty, surrendering his
entire soul to the worship of exalted
virtue- But it is needless any further
to specify: all, as one man, are ready
to exclaim our mother is America, our
battle is for freedom, purity of purpose
is our breastplate, and the favor of heav
en is our shield !"

THINGS TO . BI REMEMBERED
As winter approaches there aro ninny
things which claim tho attention of the
husbandman, especially in the arrange
ment of his domestic concerns. We
shall be pardoned, perhaps, for indica
ting a few of the most important diiticA
incumbent upon him at this iii lonl4l ,
season, and when nothing that can con•
tribute to his comfort, and enhance the
enjoyment of his dependants should he
neglected or overlooked.
In the first place, lot him study sco7l-
only in all things, but be particularly
cautious never to let this sterling virtue
degenerate into meanness. In the man
agement of his affairs he should endea•
vor to circumscribe his expendituroe
within the prudential limits of actual
necessity. Not a dollar shot lif be ex
pended uselessly, or for the gratifica
tion of any whim or caprice, or to in
dulge a useless pride in those who nat
urally look to him for protection and
support. A farmer, abort, all men, should
bb a roan of principles, and this will al
ways insure, on his part, a ready eonfor
mity to such practices as will ultimately
lead him to affluence, and a respectable
and honorable station in soctuty of which
he is a part.
WOOD HOUSES•
's\ houses, provided the business
has not already been accomplished,
should now be filled. It is a good plan,
to have a mixture of green and dry fuel
for winter use, as by burning that which
is seasoned, a greater consumption is
necessary then where a part is green or
partially dry. Recent experiments in'
heating rooms with fuel is different
states of dryness, have established the
fact that wood recently cut, when igni
ted by the assistance of a panturat suf
fial of a thoroughly seasoned nrtide,
produces a more durable and steady, as
well as a more intense heat. It is wrong
to suppose that all the fluid matters con:
taitted in wood are lost by evaporation,
in burning. The sap of the sugar nut
, pie, for instance, disproves this theory.
BARNS AND OUTBUILDINGS,
See that these are made close and
comfortable. Animals do much bettor
when sheltered front the cold. Loss food
is required, and they are not so liabel to
be attacked and debilitated by disease.
The more comfortable an animal is kept
tiv less sustenanee 1.. wilidemand. flogs
especially should have warm quarters,
and be supplied with clean, dry straw
for nests. Their food should also, at
this season, be warm and stimulating.
With such treatment, they will thrive
rapidly, and be fit for the tub much ear
lier than when treated with less care.

During the meeting 136 members were

of age, who had been deaf and dumb
from infancy, was sitting in a tent where
some persons were singing, when she
