Who was appointed by this meeting a " com mittee of correspondence and vigilance"? sen nels on the watch-tower to carry out those feel ings".1 Read over their names : Dr Benj Robinson, John Smith, Esq. David An derson, Esq, Josiah Evans, Esq. Charles McCal lister, Esq.

Look around you, dear reader, and see how many of tiiese gentlemen are yet living in the town of Fayetteville and county of Cumberland. You see that every one of them that are here, are enlisted under the political banner of Gen. Taylor, the successful chieftain of the Mexican war! A man who, to use their own language is " before the people, supported alone by mili tary fame and renown in arms." Now what is the very essence and cream of the conclusion to be drawn from these facts ? Why, that Gen. Jackson, who drove the inva ders from our soil, had no claim to the Presiden cy ; but that Gen. Taylor, a hero in a war that the whigs call "unconstitutional, unnecessary and unjust" and "a war ol conquest" who never held a civil office, nor gave a vote, Jtas claims, based upon his victories in this very war. We only ask an enlightened people to look at these facts. Well might a certain old gentleman, on reading Henry Clay's denunciation of military chieftains, in 1S27, exclaim " it was true then, and it must be true now; and so help me God, as I value consistency, I cannot vote for General Tavlor." In 1827, At a public meeting, held in the town of Fay etteville, on the 7th Dec, of the friends of John Quincy Adams, Dr. Benj. Robinson wes Chair man, and Ed. Lee Winslow, Secretary. The last named gentleman addressed the meeting, explain ing its objects, A committee was appointed to present resolutions expressive of the feelings of the meeting; and that committee reported a long preamble and resolutions. Well, let us see how the " whigs" of 1S7 ex pressed their feelings ! In that preamble and resolutions we find the following paragraph : All opposition 'ami party spirit exists now in our country, characterizeil by all the devices tl.e art of man can invent, ami by erroneous views, having the removal of the present administration fur its object, and the elevation of a man without any claims but those orip-inatiny; from a charac ter supported alone by military achieve ments. " How truly that paragraph depicts the charac ter ofthe present " opposition," and the object of that opposition ! What claims has Gen. Taylor, Messrs Whigs, 'but those originating from a character sup ported alone by military achievements"? But let's try the whigs of a little further. That preamble goes on to say " Your committee behold with alarm, the doctrine advanced, if not directly ad vanced, yet acted upon by our opponents, that one great military achievement in this our country, professing tit- be the model, and to give the precedent to all institu tions purely republican, should become the passport to the highest civil office in the gift of the people." Ah! Messrs Whigs! now you wish to make Gen. Taylor's " great military achievement " "a passport to the highest civil office!" But let's try 'em a little further Gen. Jackson's claims to the utiiee to which he aspires. are solely of a military character, founded on the victory at New Orleans." See how truly it depicts Gen. Taylor just by changing the names: " Gen. Taylor's claims to the office to which he aspires, are solely of a mili tary character, founded on the victory at Buena Vista." Aud we might go further, and sayr that if Gen. Jackson's defence ofthe "beauty nd booty" of the firesides of his own country, gare fii in no claim to the Presidency, how much claim ought Gen. Taylor's victory in Mexico to give him, in a tear characterized by the modern whigs as un constitutional, unnecessary and unjust V Let the whigs of 127. who are now supporting Gen. Taylor, answer this question But let's try 'em a little further. Here is the second resolution of that meeting Resolved, That we believe the eleva tion of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency fraught with consequences the most dan gerous to the happiness, peace, and future continuance of the government ; that he is before the people supported alone by mili tary fame and renown in arms.'1 -Recollect that these were the "feelings" of the opponents of the democratic party in lS'27. Who were they Let us read over their names : "The committee appointed ,tp prejparp , these re solutions consisted as follows John Smith, From the Union. GENERAL CASS'S-AND GEN. TAY LOR'S EXTRA ALLOWANCES. "LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, AND THEN ON THAT." The whole amount of the allowances made to General Cass, while in the public service, over and above his regular pay, which the whigs, with all their remarkable facility t figures, can make out, is S63,990 46, unless they resort to the new mode of computation, discovered by Mr Andrew Ogle Stewart, of the House of Representa tives, of adding together the same sums twice. Of the above amount we have clearly shown, in the articles upon the subject published in the Union of the 10th and 16th instant, that S46.954 50 was for actual ex penses'antl expenditures incurred by Gen. Cass in the performance of the duties im posed upon him, and by which he was not therefore benefited one cent ; thus leaving only $17,035 96 as extra compensation for a large amount of extra services ot the most important character, extending through nearly nineteen years, and the value of which, both to the government and Indians in his charge, could scarcely be computed. In our paper ofthe 16th we showed that, according to reports of the proper account ing officers, laid before the House of Re presentatives at the last session, but which Gen. Taylors tnends, tne wings, wouiu not sutler to be published, that officer had received up to the 1st January last, the very moderate sum of at least $T4,864 04 The items and amounts of each, composing that sum, we stated in detail, except that for quarters and fuel, the value of which we could not ascertain, but which would amount to several thousand dollars. We have since obtained a list of General Tay lor's present allowances and their amount per nionth, according to his last accounts, which we append for the information and satisfaction ofthe whigs,. who have been so much troubled about the extra allowances to Gen. Cass : Pay and allowances of Gen. Taylor per tnonlli. Pay m Allowance for quarters, 8 rooms, at Slo Allowance for fuel, 8 cords of wood for self, and of a cord for four servants, at $8 per cord Allowance for subsistence for self, 30 rations per day, at 20 cents per ration Allowance for four servants, 4 rations per day at 20 cents Allowance for clothing for same, at $2 50 each Allowance as pay for same, at 8 each Allowance for forage for 7 horses, at $8 each $200 00 120 00 69 33 180 00 24 00 10 00 32 00 56 00 691 33 Kfinn seventy-seven thousand eight hundred and twelve dollars and two cents for extra al lowances ; and this noffor extra services - for Gen. Taylor's name is not to be found in the documents containing the names of th ose who have been called upon at. various times to render important services to the government, beyond their regular duties such as Jackson, Harrison, Cass, Scott, Gaines, Macomb, and others. CHARGES AGAINST GEN'L. CASS REFUTED ANECDOTES OF EAR LY SETTLERS. We call attention to the following letter from an early settler in the Great West one who writes what he knows of Gen. Cass. It is elo quent in its simplicity, and irresistible in truth. Let the base slanderers of Gen. Cass read this statement and blush if, indeed, all sense of shame has not departed from them. The'Great West will vindicate the character of their early governor, who defended them in peace; and who built up that great empire from a howling wilder ness to the happy abode of an intelligent and mighty population : Ann Arbor, Michigan, Sept. 16, 1848 Dear sir: I see that the whig press has charged Gov Cass with having been en gaged in land speculation, to the injury of the settlers in the west. Now, sir, the frontier men are go'in?: to We know it to be party whose very stand no such charge. false, and got up by aliment is falsehood. We remember right well, when we were battling with the miasma of the West bearing the burden and heat of the day enduring the privations of a frontier life converting our prairies and woodlands into cultivated fields adding millions to the taxable property and wealth ofthe nation, and making the great western wilderness the eartlrs storehouse we were branded by the whigs with the beautiful epithet ot 44 land pirates and robbers.'''' These words sunk down into our souls. We marked the men, and the party to which they belong ed. Look at the great West now, the galaxy ofthe Union, and every star demo cratic. But to the charge that Gov. Cass has injured the early settlers of the West " Why, sir, there are men in this town whose farms were purchased from government with monev borrowed from Gov. Cass, without interest, upon the mere security of an cmi grant's word, who had not a cent in his pocket, and was rich only in the affections of his wife and some half dozen children And when by sickness or other misfortune we were-haru up when the funds were gone from the purse and the pork w as gone from the barrel we had only to state the case to the Governor, and our wants were supplied from his private stores. Many an emigrant's wagon has been supplied free of cost with the substantial of life at the residence of the Governor, while his excellent lady always took care that the coffee-sack, and medicine chest for ague, were full to the brim. These things were not more valuable to us than the fact that, while we were pushing into the wilderness 10 to 50 miles from any cabin, we knew that under any misfortune we had a friend in the Governor to fall back upon If the friends of Gov. Cass choose to ap peal to the young men of the riation, the West is full of facts upon which to base such appeal. Men are now enjoying a competence under their own vine and fig-tree, who came to the Territory friendless boys, without fame or fortune, save a will to do and a hand to do it, who were put into business by the Governor, and backed all the way through until they were able to sustain themselves. Some rare legends are tol J of the com mencement in business of men who are now the leading men of Michigan, which would be spicy were they not too common here, and the actors all living. Instance the Hon. L. Lyon, surveyor general of this district, whose name is borne by towns and villages, and is recorded in botli houses of the general government, as one among hundreds of instances in which a capital ot only "a quarter of a dollar," with the ad vice, direction, guaranty of Gov. Cass, has elevated its possessor to fortune and honorable distinction. These little incidents are small in them selves, and are only known to the early open as a sunflower. comes for voting, you 0 seven thousand three hundred and ninety-five dollars and ninety-six cents per annum, which this military canuiuate ior the presidency is now in. the receipt of, and appears to be determined to hold on to, unless the good people can be gulled, as the availability-no principle whig party hope, into electing him to that high office. But, our main object in this article was to extend the whig candidate's account of extra allowances a little further than we were able heretofore to give it correctly : Amount of extra allowances, over and above his pay, received by him up to the 1st Januarj last, as stated 874,864 04 Amount of same for the suc ceeding six months ending 30th June last, according to his arcount as rendered and paid 98 S7T.812 02 Thus w e Uav,$ the respectable amount of settlers: but thev indicate the heart as And when the time will see the entire West ranged in one unbroken line under the democratic banner.

The New York Post, a violent Van Buren paper, thus speaks of Gen Cass and free soil : "Teli. them or it. When the Cass politi cians pretend that their candidate is in favor of free soil, just tell them that Cass voted against the Wilmot proviso in th Senate. Yes! tell them of it! By its fruits shall the tree be known. When the southern whig papers or speakers, false to the truth and the south, pretend that Ca&s k a pro viso man or an abolitionist, just tell them that he voted against the proviso nay, just tell them that upon allquestions. in which southern interests have been involved, he has voted with us; against us never!

FRESH DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. There has been another insurrection in Ireland, and much more formidable in its. appearance and results than that so lately quelled. The insurgents are posted in an almost inaccessible position, near Carrick, in Killmark, on Thomas Mountain. There has been a general rise of the peasantry, who have marched to the attack ofthe po lice stations Near Clonmell there has. been much fighting, and numbers have been, killed on both sides. The soldiers shout ed for repeal, and large numbers of them have been placed in handcuffs. The in surgents fought with the most desperate bravery, and have captured some pieces of cailnon, . Terrible results are anticipated from this outbreak, and among the most disastrous is the effect it will have upon the fate of the numerous individuals uov on trial for their participation in the recent difficulties, FRANCE. Advices from Paris are of an unsatisfactory character., ''be Social-, ists are musteringin great strength. There is a great ileal ol dissatisfaction expressed with the speech of Thiers in the Assembly, The Government is taking measures, to. close all the Clubs throughout France It. is thought that the Republicans w ill carry the elections in Paris for the three deputies whose seiits are vacant. Cavaignae is not on good terms with Lamartine, because of the tendency of the latter to the Republicans. A Costly Speech. The speech deliv-. ered by Col. Benton in secret session of the Senate against the nomination of Gen. Kearney, has proved for the country a cost ly piece of rhetoric. By a late regulation of Congress, matter of this kind is paid for, when published in the National Intelligen cer and Washington Union," at the rate of $7 50 per column. Col Benton's speech, it is computed, occupied about fifty col umns in each paper, which brought the aggregate charge to seven hundred and fifty dollars for one speech. The people of the United States pay a high price, at all times, for Congressional rhetoric, but this is paying for the piper at a rate shaming every other public expense, even for the pleasure of listening to the music of Mr Benton'9 eloquence. The speech has been truly denominated "a weak, w ashy affair," and the editors ofthe above named journals felt no doubt happy when relieved of the leaden weight by which such an harangue encumbered their columns, however ample the money equivalent.
