The boys know he don't nerer surrender, and they dont thiukof sich a. thing themselves." A Noble Heart. General Taylor, in the Flori da war, by his kndoess to his men and ofiieers iu illness in that sickly climate, endeared himself to them even as much, if not more thin by his gallantry in the field. During the dreadful summer of 1S39, when the troops were more than decimated by the yellow and congestive fevers, b was ever to be found Walking through the wards of the hospital, looking out with" keen eye for the eomforts of all soldiers and officers alike. ..Poor Lieutenant Griffin, his favorite aid, died in the August of 4839. General Taylor stood by his fctfeiar Us last agony, and when the suffering spirit of that noble officer left its tenement of clay, Tay lor tacit down it the rude couch of the deceased sol dier, and burst into tears. A noble act. General Taylor, in 1814-15, was a captain,-or-perhaps a major by -brevet, and sta tioned with, his company at Greene Bay at that time far beyond the limits of civilization. The pay master received from the government the necessary funds,-which, save a small amount, he exchanged Ut the bills of J. XL Piatt fc. Cobankers in the city -Of Cincinnati: this was a "business., transaction" Voti private, account: The paymaster proceeded to "troitajii,iliar'paidof tne soldiers in this Loeo--foco Individual responsibility paper; he then pro ceeded to Mackimrw . and there paid the soldiers in tike maaaet; lastly, he reached Green Bay. Here r agaitt the paymaster, with proper official solemnity, counted out to Captain Taylor the bills of J, 11. Piatt feCo bankers, for the soldiers. "Old Zach," looking at the rags, said "Is this the stuff you in tend to pay us?:' The paymaster assured him it was the same he paiJ to. the men -at Detroit and Mackinaw but, says he, with a knowing wink, u I bave United Stafe Bank bills for your officers." To this Captain Taylor replied1 Sir, my men can receive no money that I' am unwilling to take my eelf go back ami get us good money." GmiAL Tavlor Traveulixc. When General Taylor was on his way to New Orleans, on one of our Mississippi river packets, just previous to his departure for Corpus Christ i, a gentleman, a way passenger, came on board of the boat and went to the clerk's Office for the state-room. The clerk in formed him that all were taken, and that he would bave to content himself with an vpper berth. The gentleman assented, and after seeing Lis name duly entered, he walked into the cabin, when it struck him he would find out who occupied the lower berth of his state-room ; stepping into the clerk's office, be read'1 Lower, Z. Taylor, Baton Rouge" " Is this Brigadier General Taylor, of the United Stntes ar tsy V said he to the clerk : " I ask, because I have some curiosity to know who is my room-mate, and, more particularly, if it i9 General Taylor." The clerk satisfied him that such was the fact, when our traveller entered into conversation with the old ve teran. Our friend was a planter, and ok! Zach ap peared, by his conversation, to bave beaten his sword into a ploughshare ; foT he talked about planting, and Use crops, and the civil government of our country, and appeared to be as ignorant of our army as if he bad never seen it. At a responsible bedtime, old -Zach retired. After a while our traveller went into the state-room, and, to bis surprise, found the broad mattress of the lower berth unoccupied and look ing, be discovered General Taylor sleeping in the vpper berth. The young man, surprised, regretted wlhat be conceived to be a mistake, and in the morn ing expressed bis regrets at what had happened.

LATE FROM EUROPE. -The steamer Washington, Capt. J. Johnson, ar rived at New York on September 6, from South ampton. By her we have advices from that place to the 20th in together with the news from Lon don of the evening of the 19tb, and from Paris of the ISth, being one day later than the news brought by the Niagara from Liverpool. The Intelligence from Paris is of rather a gloomy nature. Agitation and dread still continues to per vade tkat city, arising from rumors of secret socie ties and formidable conspiracies, whose object was to overthrow the existing system of government. Gen. Cavaignac, it was said, had received due warning of a meditated insurrection, and had con centrated a large military force arbund Paris, in or der to arrest and effectually suppress it. These pre cautionary measures were placed under the direction i of Gen. Lamoriere, who had been invested with ex- j traordinnry powers. All parties looked with fear ! and trembling to the debate on the report on the i June insurrection, as that moment was supposed to be fixed for a renewed outbreak. Amongst weinn formed circles, however, it was fully expected that any outbreak would be suppressed. Tha latest prices of the French 3 per cents were 43 Francs; 5 per cents 7 If. The Bourse was very dull The Sardinian Ministry has unanimously protest ed asrainst the 45 days' armisticto King Charles Al bert and Marshal Radetsky, the Austrian Comniis- j sioner in Chief, as altogether illegal, yuarles Al bert was supposed to be desirous of abdicating. The Chamber of Deputies at Rome had come to a vote in favor of the French armed intervention in the affairs of Ituly. The Emperor of Austria arrived at V ienna on the 13th of August. His return to that city is hailed with great rejoicings. It was still supposed in London and Paris that the conjoint meditation of France and England would effect a peaceful terminationf the war in Upper Italy, and that hostilities would not recommence. The terms, however, would necessarily be more fa vorable to Austria. A COMPARISON. The comparison between Gen. Taylor and Mr. Cass, one or the other of whom must be ournext President, exhibits to hs on the one hand a man who when he pledges himself to a faithful observ ance of the constitution, means to be understood in the general aense of such a declaration, that is, he will respect the legitimate sphere of each depart ment of the government ; ho will yield his individu al preference and opinions rather than conflxt with and defeat the public scntin.cnt oi the country fairly and fully expressed through its organized legislative medium y' he will enforce the Consti tution as its meaning has been declared by the authorised tribunal ot interpretation, the Supreme Court of the U. States, and according to the set tled policy of the country established and con firmed by successive administrations. Gen- Cass, on the other hand, is presented as a man whose pledges to the Constitution and the country are to be interpreted according to the standard of party expediency and in full view of other pledges made or implied to divers cliques, factions, sections and individuals. If Gen. Cass should bs elected by any chance, no one suppo ses that he would be the President. His better nature, which in such a case might prompt him to deal honestly with the country, would be over borne by those tendencies towards ultraisrn which he himself has aided so much to put in motion ; he would stand committed by .his own popularity seeking phrase ; he would be in the hands, too, of men, who baring helped to reward him would hold him inexorably to the task of keeping on in the course of democratic "progress," as it is called, by which they in their turn might hope to be rewarded also. In proportion as the canvass advances, and the more especially while it advances calmly, the alternative of Taylor or Cass for the next Pres ident of the United States will assume more and more of a definite character, fovorable to the election of the former. The considerate mind of the country, cannot seltle down upon Cass ; it rejects him. There is something startling in the idea that the destinies of the country should be in the hands of such a man, under such influences as would surround and control him. Bait. Amer. A proposition was recently made by lhc"Cass and Boiler Club" of Raleih, to the " Rough and Ready Club" that the Presidents of the two Clubs should unite in addressing a letter to Gen- Tay lor, asking him certain questions in regard to the War, and in regard to the Wilmot Proviso. This indelicate proposition the "Rough and Ready Club" declined to accede to; and the letter writ ten by its President in reply to the one from the other Club, gives very good reasons for declining. This proposition of the Cass and Roller Club of Raleigh seems to U9 to be one of the most im pertinent and barefaced attempts to manufacture political capital that. we ever heard of. To say nothing of the indelicacy of such a proceeding, its object is as shameless aa it is base. The idea of getting Gen. Taylor to write a letter, not for the purpose of knowing his opinions, or that tbey do not know them or care to know the my not to enlighten the public in regard to tbemrrbot to elicit ar.v information on the rah. jact-wtt simply" and solely that his answer might be nsed to operate to h:s prejudice. That his language might be distorted, and perhaps his whole meaning misrepresented, to accomplish the purpose of these Lncofoco demagogues. Jn the other hand, the Whigs having declined a proposition so perfectly unreasonable, its object barefaced and unworthy, they will no worthy, they will now say. thai the Whigs refuse to allow their candidate to be interrogated. Yes. the nennle will he told that Gen. Taylor's opinions are to be concealed, and not tbe made public, that he is a "mum" can1 didate. We tell the people now to be on their guard a- gainst all such slanderous assertions. Gen. Tay. or has no concealments; he says himself "he shrinks from no responsibility." And we have no reason to doubt, as the President of the Rough and Ready Club very truly says, " that Gen. Tay- or will do everythinir n bis power to protect the rights and interests of the Soirtb," I'ay. Obs. Fiom the New Orleans Crescent. CONFUSION; OR. CASS IN A DILEMMA. Confound the noise !

' THE VNp v MAN POWER.' v' V Tbo boldest and most unwarrantable .assumption ever yet .made by the Democratic party, U-tkat by which they make themselves the lineal descendants of the OldJlepubUcan party of Virginia-rt Prty of D8 the men who resisted the alien and sedition laws who stood by Madison and tha Constitution in the Legislature and cast their votes for Jeffer son at the Polls. This monstrous perversion -of truth has been insisted on with so much pertinacity by the Democratic loaders, who well understand its potency, that the Whigs have ceased, almost, to contradict thorn from sheer weariness. This should not be so. The Whigs should upon all occasions pin thorn down to what they are ; the true Represen tatives of the Old Federal party, corrupted by twen ty vears of irUemployed power. We make these remarks as a prelude to the sub joined remarks of Mr. Rives, made at the Fauquier Springs, and reported by my neighbor of the Sou therner. For such Democrats as we have at this day, it appears that Mr. Jefferson could find no name but monocrat ; a term of itself expressing the " one man power." A definition more entirely ac cordant with the doctrines of thoso who now go un der the name of Democrats, could not have been made, and one would almost be tempted to think that Jefferson was a prophet. But the truth is, that he did nothing more than describe what he saw. The monocrat, as he draws his portrait, was the Fe deralist of that day; he is the Democrat of the pre sent. We invito earnest attention to the extract: , From the Southerner. Mr. Rives said the original distinction of parties in this country, was founded mainly on this question of executive power, and he referred to various pas sages in Mr. Jefferson's writings to prqve it. The party opposed to the unduo enlargement of Execu tive power, and in favor of-mninaining the Consti tutional independence of the legislative department, were t he Republicans. Those who were for concen trating the powers of the Government practically ia the hands of the President, Mr-Jefferson designated, as will be seen in various parts of his published cor respondence, by the appropriate and significant name of vitinocrats, or advocates of the on? manpow er We have the same parties now, and strange to tell, those who call themselves Democrats, are adr vocates of the one man power. Their proper deno mination, according to the highest Republican au thority in our history, is monocrats, and if we mean to call things by their right names, we must reform our party nomenclature, and henceforward the name of Democrat must be replaced by the more Appro priate and descriptive one of Monocrat. Now, as in the infancy of our political institutions, the strug gle is bet wceu Republicans, the true friends of pop ular Government according to the forms of our Con stitution, on the one hand, and on the other, mono crat.? tricked out in the disguise of Democracy, but by their doctrines and practices, subjecting every thing to the will and authority of one wan. The issue between these parties is emphatically joined in the Presidentiacontest now to be decidod, and let every msn, as he wishes to be a Republican or siohocrat, make his choice. And here, Mr. R. si.iJ, he would rmiud lis old friends of the so called Democratic party, for the mass of whom he entertained a sincere affection and respect, that the term Democrat, as a party denomi nation, is of very modern and suspicious, introduc tion among us of the " Old Dominion." He would defy any man to show him a passage in the writings of Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison, iu which either of those great men applied to themselves or their poli tical friends, the name of Democrats. They were Republicans, and so invariably called themselves and their political associates. The name of Democrat, to whatever extent it may have prevailed elsewhere was never an acknowledged party designation among us of Virginia, at least till it was brought in as a part of the system otclop trap of Van Burenism, and with Van Bvrenism, of which all Virginians of every party are now heartily siok, let it go out. Those of us who are in heart and principle Republicans, may well be content to be known, by the honored name which our fathers were proud to bear. We are enabled by Mr. Rives to sapply the fol lowing reference to Mr. Jefferson's writings in Sup- DOrt of the ntntempnt morla Kw Uim nt.a In vol. 4th of his writings, page 450, speaking of uc fanjr utiisivn wnicn arose soon aner me con stitution was put into operation, he says : u Here then was the real grou'udof the opposition made to the course of the Administration. Its ob ject was to preserve the Legislature pure and inde pendent of the executive; to restrain the Adminis tration to republican forms and principles, and not permit the Constitution to be construed into a mon archy, and to be warped in practice into all the prin ciples and pollutions of their favorite English mod el. Nor was this an opposition of General Wash ington. He was true to the republican charge con fided to him, etc" Again, under date of 1st October, 1792, express ing his apprehensions of the tendency of General Hamilton's policy, he says: c: If the equilibrium of the three great bodies, Leg islature, Executive and Judiciary could be preserv ed, if the Legislature could hi kept independent, I should never fear the result of such a government, but I could not but be uneasy when I saw that the Erec utice had srrallowed vp the Legislative Branch." Vol. 4, page 470-1. In a letter to Mr. Adams, the elder, 27th June, IS13, he says u We broke into two parties, each wishing to give the Government a different direc tion: the one to strengthen the most popular branch, the other the more permanent branches, and to extend their permanence. Here you and I separated for the first time, and aa we had been longer than many others on the public theatre and our names were therefore more familiar to our countrymen, tho par ty which considered you as thinking with them pla ced your name at their head ; the other, for the same reason, selected mine." Vol. 4, page 202. In a letter to General Lnfsyette, 4th Nov. 1323, speaking of the then existing distinction of parties in America, under the general names of Whig and tory, which he nppled to them by analogy he siys: " The tories are for strcngtlming the Erccvtite and General Government; the Whigs cherish the repre sentative branch and the rights reserved by the States as the bulwark again6t consolidation, which mnst immediately generate monarchy." Vl. 4, page 385. As specimens of the nomenclature of parties re ferred to by Mr. Rives as adopted by Mr. Jefferson, take the following : In a letter to Mr. Giles, 31st December. 1793 he says. dm wuere me uinerence is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the Republicans and Monocrat sot our country, I hold it as hdnora- uie 10 ie a nrm ana tieciuea parr," etc. Vol. 3 page 319. ' In a letter to Mr. Monroe, 19th July, 1796, be says, 44 They see that nothing can support tlftm'but the colossus of the President's merits with tho peo ple, and themoment he retires that his' successor if a Monocrat, will be overcome by the republican sense of his constituents ; if a Rejmblican, be will of course give fair play to that sense and lead thiugs into the Channel of harmony between the governors and gov erned." Vol 3, page 335. 6 In a letter to Levi Lincoln, Esq. 11th July, 1801, he says, '-The consolidation of our fellow citizens in g5'.1? V k -he great object we ouht t0 keep in view, and that being once obtained, while we associate with uain affairs to a certain degree the federal sect of Repubhcans, we must strip of all the means of influ ence the Essex Junto andtheir associate Mmocrats inr every part of the Union."

The friends1 of the good cause were there by thousand, and the spacious S.loort of the Museum never presented a more animated appearance.' Citizens poured in from every quarter of the city and county, and the music, the banners, the de vices, the lighfs, the speaking, the. responses and the enthusiastic cheers, Bervqd at once to interest and excite. It was truly a heart-warm rally, a cordial movenaent of the masses. All present seemed to acquire new confidence in the cause and in the prospect. The accounts of the recent State Convention and the immense MassMeeting at Harrisburg, were listened to with the deepest interest. Pennsylvania is evidently rousing her self for the struggle. Her freemen are alive to the great stake involved, and will exert them selves to the utmost to secure a noble triumph as well in October aa November next. The Meeting on Saturday night was, in fact, by far the largest that was ever held in Philadel phia by any political parly since the Commence ment of tho Campaign. The speaking, too was excellent, and the enthusiasm, whenever the name of "Old Zack " was mentioned, was truly refreshing. The meeting was addressed by Joseph R. Chandler, Gov. Johnston, Ex-Gov. Pennington, of New Jersey, Z. Collins Lee, and the Hon. W. Cost Johnson, and by several others. Senator Dayton, of N. J., Col. VV. F.. Haskell of Tennessee, and Senator Reverdy Johnson, of Md- who had been also expected, were detained away by unavoidable occurences. The News says : It was the great meeting of the campaign thus fr. The Saloon was crowded in every part. The movenientjwas cordial, unanimous and en thusiastic. The young men may well be proud of such a demonstration. Nothing superior in the way of numbers, zeal, interest and enthusiasm, is likely to'take place before the seventh of Novem ber. Whenever the name of Taylor was men tioned, it elicited a volley of cheers. The friends of Old Zack are beginning to show themselves, not by dozens, and hundreds, but by thousands, and the puzzle will be, after the election, where all the votes come from. Bait. Pat. OHIO FOR TAYLOR. A large portion of the human race are croakers and grumblers. Men are seldom content with their condition, and hence envy and happiness a rise very much to the discomfiture of themselves, and sometimes of their neighbors. But there is one object about which we did sup pose nobody would have the face to croak. That any one doubted that the popular vote of Ohio would be given for Taylor and Fillmore, in No vember next, we did not suppose, until within the past week. Such an individual, however, we did see, on last, and the novelty of his position, you may well imagine struck us with some sur prise, and excited feelings akin to merriment. Positively, from the hour the Philadelphia nomi nations were blazoned to the country, through the wonder-working telegraph, down to the pres ent, we for one have not conceived it possible that Ohio could ca6t her votes for any body else than the nominees. To doubt, in this regard, is a sort of 4 treason' which was never suggested to U3 at all events. Ohio not Whig Impossible. Ohio not Whig in November! What is the reason. There is a ground-swell of popularity pos sessed by Old Zack in this State, and in every other of this broad Union, which knows no sec tional or party limits. It cannot and will not be gainsaid by your fine-spun theories, but is a matter of feeling. The gallant old hero of Flor ida and Mexico :s understood and appreciated by the sovereign people, without distinction of party, as the only honest man and incorruptible patriot running for the office of President. He is the only real Republican in the field. He is the only candidate who takes the side of the People in all matters subject to Congressional legislation. He will reto nothing sanctioned by the People's Representatives, for which there is precedent in former legislation, unles it have been inconsiderately passed, or is in open defiance of the constitution. Not to sustain him, Ohio would act contrary to her well-established principles ; would play the fratricide towards other "Conserv ative Whig States ; would sanction a great na. tional wrong, and strike a death blow at herown cherished interest.

We have been a good deal mortified, oi nski, to have the question frequently propounded) us, in our Correspondence from abroad " Is there no doubt of North Carolina''"? We could only express our confident nnd decided, belief that our State was as sound as any State in the Union, and her vote for Ta VI.OB as certain. But yet these repeated interrog atories necessarily bave suggested the reflection " What a burning, indelible sin and shame it will be, if we should, by apathy and neglect, lose the State, when tee know we can, with proper exertions, swell up a majority of over five thousand Totes." Many of the Locpfoco8 are affecting to give up the State ; but they do so with the hope, by such strategy, of lull ing ns into inactivity. Where there is so much at stake, is there a Whig who can be beguiled to relax bis efforts ? Forbid it self-interest forbid it patri otism ! The Loco Focos will go their death for the spoils and die hard ; but if every Whig will do bis whole duty, we will give them a Waterloo aye, a Buena Vista defeat. R ecollect then, gallant Whigs of North Carolina ! ye who have fought so many battles and won so ma ny victories ! your State stands as high now as any in the Union. Take care not to forfeit that .repu tation. Let the old North State echo back the shouts of " Liberty and the Constitution1 which arc pealing from thousands of determined freemen, who bave swoi n enter nal hatred to Tyranny in whatsoever guise it may come. Let it never be said of her, as was said of that land, once the cradle of Liberty : "The hearts within her valleys bred. The fiery souls that might have led Her sons to deeds sublime, Now -crawl from cradle to the grave Slaves nay the bondsmen of a Slave." DISCKSSION AT FRANKLINTON We had hoped, that some one of our friendsyFoJ were presenr, wouiu nave lurnisned up, by our to day's issue, with an account of the discussion at Franklinton, on Saturday last,, between Messrs. Kerr and McRak. We understand; however, that it was characterized, on either side, by marked abil ity and courtesy and that both Gentlemen conduc ted the debate, in a manner creditable to nViwiiM and gratifiying to their friends. TP" The " Carolina Republican" is the title of a new. Democratic Paper that has just been establish ed at Lincolnton in this State. We notice by the "Annual announcement of the Medical Department ot the St. Louis Universi ty" that Dr. W. M. McPhSeters, formerly of Ra leigh, has been appointed Professor of Clinical Me dicine and Pathological Anatomy in that institution.

Gen. Cass' presses are Mr. folk's; his triends are Mr. Polk's friends he is, therefore, every way identified with Mr.Pafi i n this act. What has Millard Fillmore done ije sirs, what can he possibly do'more fatal to the iatt rests of the South, than what your President basil, ready done, and what yon and Lewis Cass sanction! Yet, again, exposing that Mr. Fillmore evert tertained the opinions thus attributed to him, cannot his pinions undergo a change? Surely, jou nil! not demur to such a position. You will not clothe yourselves in the panoply of a prerogative, to tit selfish exclusion of others. If Gen. Cas u. j "WV former open acts and undisguised sentiments sm r bitterly hostile to slavery, may be allowed the prir- .ilege of changing those sentiments witbin the brief space of a single year wby, forsooth, may not Mr. Fillmore be permitted to do the same, within tit much longer space of ten years ? If one meet joa fication, why not the other 1 But the dififerencebe tween the two, it seems, is very wide, according Loco Foco compasses. Mr. Cass is a "marvello proper, man." Like that worthy individual, Aw tippus, of wbom Horace speaks, " omnis ilium kt color, et statv et res." But Millard Fillmore is i vacillating, unstable, unreliable man! From tit old stipendiary at Washington, who La9 long fed upon the best from the public crib, down to tit smaller, organs that grind in submissive harmony to his jeremiads such is the song. Oh ! consistent?! consistency ! thou art, in these degenerate days, si rare a virtue, that Angels would come down to pa upon thee ! Since the above was written, we have received the " Mobile Advertiser" of the latest date, viich contains the following satisfactory commnniatioii, from Mr. Fillkore to Gov. Gayle, of Alabaict His views are those of a liberal and intelligent Statesman the opinions of a genuine ConservatiTt. They will secure to Mr. Fillmore the entire corf deuce and respect of the South, and will convintt the people,rthat he has been made the victim of out of the vilest and most atrocious systems of calamnj and detraction, ever devised by unprincipled party hacks, for the injury or downfall of a dangerous ex ponent. And so the " Standard" is estopped from shouting Abolitionism longer! And so its lucu brations have been fruitless its labors vain! Heu! Proh! Another Locofoco Gun Spi&ed! Importantly- ter from Mr. Fillmore. We take peculiar pleasnn in laying Deiore me puonc inc suujinuet; ienii Mr. Fillmore on the iuWect of Abolition, which hu been furnished" us by Gov. Gayle for publicatioa It will be found frank and explicit, and all thatuj South man could exnect from a citizen of a fret State. Indeed, it is perfectly sound all that tli South could ask and stamps indelibly wita false hood the charge of Abolitionism, which the Locof co press of the South have been endeavoring to fii nnnn the ditinrnished and natriotic writer.
