so • • ilir and readily refuted, that some incen
diary correspondeet, secretly the enemy of the

to p opxgate such infamous doctrines, and
mak such incendiary appeals. The writer in

DEAR DE.4I)ER : On the first page or ; tue,
Era you will find materials , for .he formation.
of an opinion of the present'condition.of the
Whig party. A few Whigs in into of .tliefree ,
States, chiefly in Northern Ohio,-stand pledged I
against the seppert or General Taylor, or amyl
oilier slaychelding candidate for the Presiden- 1
ey. • A larger and more influential class is un:i
friendly to his. nomination, hostile to any slave-1
holding nomination, but not prepared to carry I
this' feeling to the extent Of. separation from
the party. It will acquiesce in the actinti of
the majority. The third class,' embracing the
majority, and specially represented by i the;
press of the cities, condemns, unqualifiedly, the
attempt to make non-slareholding a condition
tn• party nomination, with a few exceptions, is.'
decidedly favorable to the claims of General I
Taylor, and, although professing strong repug- i
fiance to tl extension of slavery, (a profession,
in most instances sincere,) would, in the last
resOrt, rather yield a little on this peint,lthaa
forego a party triumph. This class is thecon-;'
trolling element.of the party, and will undoubt
edly dictate its policy.
, - So much for the Whigs in the free 'States.
I Their hrethien in the slave States are of *use
identified with slavery, and can have no :synt
; patby With the first class of "Whigs. Per the
I sake of conciliating the second class, and re
; lieyine• the third from an unfavorable position,
1 they had . taeitly Melded to a sort of under
standing, aced) ding to whilt the Presidential
eandidate for : l44S was to be furnished by theit ,
free State brethren ; and, had it not been for
an tinex'peeteil disturbing farce, we have little
doubt that the favored personage would have
been a distinguished .Judge of the Supreme
1 Carurt. That force was the sudden entinisialsru
created by the achievements of General :TAY
! tMt—an enthusiasm rendered more fervid by
reports of persecution and exposure to which
he had been subjected.. it was 'said, by a jeal
lous Administration. New light broke in upon
I party councils. The old Clay papers, unfriend-
tly to the claims of any ether civilian than the
IGreat Rejected, sent up a shout to Ile4en in
1 favor of Taylor. ,The whole tribe of ataila
bility-men, who had distrusted the prevnins ar-
ratgements of the party. and bad been ;tossed 1
1 abbut among dNtressing doubts, saw terra fir-
[ma again, and at once pronounced TaylOr the
I nun for the hour. And " our Sonthernbreth- 1
ren" were relieved. What a ged-send! just
when they had made up their minds to swallow'
I a Northern nomination, to be saved from the!
Inecessity of taking such a pill ! But they were!
I diScreet. Not too eag e r did they seem; Willing 1
I • ...
rather that Northern presses should tale thel
i lead in nominating. by acclamation, a slave- 1
1 holder: or the 'Presidency.' And so, by; the u- 1
nited Voices of nearly two hundred Whig pa
pers, and, many public meetings, General Tay-.
i for is the candidate for the great Whigparty.
ATew Whig journals still pretend that the
question of a nOmination is nnsettleill but this
is •mere pretence. So large is the majo4ty al
ready Committed, that -a -National Contention I
will hate nothing to do but refit:v.lle nbmina-
Alen. ISome had ' , cherished a faint hope that
the Military' Chieftain•woula decline.; but, al
though he is modest, as- all great men; should
be, like all great men, too, he does nit " feel
1 atirlibeity" to decline any service to Which the
voice . Of his country may call-- him. .
If a mere change of Administration 1 if' the
stteeei.e of the Whigs, so that they migkeenjoy
the spOils ; if the temporary cohesion of their
party;; if the continued predominance)of the
slave power ; if any one or all Of these }objects
be 'alone contemplated by this movement, it
may be safely 'pronounced a most adreit one.
That it will succeed, we have little dtmlit. The
"glory" of the warrior is always attraetive-to
the *altitude. Physical daring, The achieve
nfentsj of Force, can he appreciated Iby the
'Most tulgar-minded. There is enouglkuncer- -
taintyi too, about General Taylor's politics to
I afford aany a'inartial Democrat an exduse for.
indulging -his taste- for glory. _And Aii the
Sbutl4 being, as is often said here,_ ihe only
Sbnthern man who can' be elected, it is no
ondet that eo many meetings -" witheut dis
tinction of party" should' be held- in his favor.
