I support him also because I believe he will suffer the will of the people to he come the lew of the people within constitutional lim its ; because 1 believe that things that lie before us in the unknown future, may be of vastly more mag nitude than all the transient Prty questions of th day ; and because I have confidence in his modera tion and good sense above alL in his moderation and right-mindedness.

What care I whether Gen. Taylor can or cannot play, at a game of sophism with, expert and dexterous politi cal dialectician? What care I whether he can, with " metaphysical icissors,n ((8everand divide A hair 'twlxt North and Northwest sidel W.hat care 1 whether he has exact and precise view (do we all have them?) upon many of the transient and unimportant questions of the day ? Might not Washington have been worried in political metanh va les say th Resolutions of '98 and 99 by many a knight of the green bag, scarce out of his " teens?" and one, too, who would not have been entrusted by his neighbor with the trial of a cause of the value of one hundred dollars ? And yet the people entrust ed, in' the hands of that same Washington the honor, the safety, and the glory of this great Republic Were they unwise? What I do care to know is, that his views are mo derate, conservative, national all tending to peace, to wholesome and gradual development anaprogrese He who has learned by experience the miseries and horrors of war, if he be a good man, will generally be the most strenuous advocate of peace, as long as peace can be preserved with national honor. Who so pacific as Washington. 1 Who could have curbed the wild passions and preserved neace during the phrensyof the first French revolution but, Wash ington ? Who so powerful an advocate of peace on the continent of Europe as he who struggled on a hundred battle fields Soult? Who has done so much to preserve the peace of Europe as Wellington, the conqneror of Napoleon? And Taylor, with equal virtue, equal moderation, and equal bravery, will act upon the wise maxims of peace. OLD ROUGH AND READY.

At ex cited state of the country "upon this qaestymaW in the passage of this bill no reaonablpe of Wnefit (9 the South, aadexpressly stated that. In his opin lon, hy this bill, the,South was yielding everything andeaintd nothing. He saw in It notbiqg in the joatureof a compromise . Neither did hebelitv that J It would produce reconciliation or allay exeljtement. , In a few days, however, we hope to receive the published opinions of the Senators, as contained in their, arguments. Until . then, ,we. content ourself with the following extract from theerrespondent of the "Conimercial Advertiser above referred to : " Mr.'Badger, of N. C. spoke at length in opposi tion to the bill. He complained of the hot Jiaste which had marked the action of the committee, and regretted that the bill had been reported without a more severe and deliberate investigation; of the sub ject. Indeed he seemed to be of opinion tiat it wonld have been much better to postpone the attempt to settle the question in any way, to another session of Congress. He admitted the heated andexcited state of the public mind upon the question, but he did not believe that this, bill would produce reconciliation, or that it would have any tendency to ajlay excitement Or seften asperities of feeling. " He went on to say that Congress had full juris diction over the new territories, and that the only limits and restrictions to its right of legislation were to be found in the ' constitution. ' He then said that slavery had been abolished in the Mexican provin ces, and that in his judgment it could not exist in, those acquired by us. unless established there by law. He the met the issue tendered by Mr. Calhoun and his supporters, and distinctly refused to stand upon the "platformf erected by them for the Soath. r He then proceeded to illustrate wiln great dis tinctness the fallacy of the above doctrine . He sup posed that in the course, perhaps, of the present gen eration,' oar policy might require that we should by some means obtain possession of an island Or fortress in the outskirts, of the Chinese Empire, for protec tion of our commerce. If so, could it be. 'supposed that our constitution would instantly subject that spot to the laws of slavery 1 We hall the constitu tional power to acquire territory for many ether pur poses besides that of making new states. We might, for instance, in time acquire Cuba, and so far as the question of power was concerned, might hold, it or any part of it in a state of tutelage, " to the last syl lable of recorded time' " "He showed from the records of the Senate that ihis doctrine of the constitutional establishment of slavery, without the intervention of law, was alto cether new. He spoke of the coarse of the distin guished Senator Pincknev, of Maryland, upon the Missouri compromise and showed that in his opin ion, and that ef the body of -Southern Senators at that time, slavery conld only be established oy ex press law or statute ' "Mr. Calhoun said he had the authority of one of the Maryland Senators for saying that Mr.'Plnck ney was an abolitionist, and iheretore hisopfnlonpn such an occasion was not to he taken as of any force. a Mr. Badger said that if Mr. C. made that charge he should be prepared to prove it. He though t that e very Optoma hejxad 4 tuTeadconcl naively pro- a a i a i. t a a tnat xur. rincxuey was no an aoouuonisc " Mr. Calhoun replied that he spoke upon infer- Badger, whether he Was or Iwas not an abolitionist would not affect the weight of his judgment and opin ion as a lawyer and a statesman. "Thus, inasmuch as the law was clearly against the South on this question, and as the Supreme Court would decide -upon the law,' he considered this bill aa giving up the whole qestion, and he could not vote for it He would rather vote for a bill ex pressly declaring that slavery should be excluded from 'these territories. That would be plain and honest. He was told that by this bill the honor of the South was saved. He did not perceive it, nd was not influenced by the argument ' 44 Still he would vote for the bin if ha' Uiooght ii would terminate this dJrageronsagitation.but be be lieved it wonld only exasperate and embitter it Air.
