C7 It is rather an uncouth, but newerthelsfs forceful adage, that "if you shoot among a flock of pigeons, you may always tell the wounded by the flut tering " Gen. Taylor's late letter to Capt Allison has produced a terrible fluttering in the Locofoco jinks. Its language has been perverted, its sentiments distorted, its diction criticized and hypcrcriticixed aJ most pitiful charge of all, its authorship denied to him. Go on, Gentlemen ! It will be assailed, in vain, by those who would carp and hawk greedily at any thing and every thing emanating from the old Hero. It is complete in its vindication ef the course he has pursued. It demonstrates the consistency of his character. No one can read it without feeling that he has been holding communion with a pure and patri otic mind without acknowledging that all the depths of his heart are clear as stainless crystal. If there were any doubt of it before, that letter secures Gen. Tatlor's elevation to the Presidency ! THE STATE VIRTUALLY GIVEN UP The last "Standard," commenting upon th rait of the Gubernatorial Election, discourses thus : u If there has been no M transfer of strength from the Whips to the Democrats," how does it happen that Col. Reid has received 2249 votes more t han Col. Hoke got, and 2395 more than Mr. Polk received ? Where did thee votes oome from 1 Were they not Whig votes ?" Let us figure np a little. While the Standard" isserts that Col. Reif s increased vote of 2249 over Col. Hoke is owing to a transfer of Whig strength, it admits (because the figures are there) that the late poll is by 2199 votes larger than any that has ever before been cast in the State. Now, the Whig vote falls exactly 50 behind that of Gov. Graham ; so that 2149 votes of this Locofoco increase is a natural increase that is an increase for them over the en tire vote of 1S44. Well, the " Standard" insinuates that these additional voters are Whigs. It has also, in its unseemly exultations over the late Election, attributed its gains to Free Suffrage, in such lan guage as this l- Reid and Equal Suffrage carrying dismay into the Ftderal ranis .'" Now, according to this reasoning, the 2149 new Whig voters were de terred from voting for Mr. Manly, because of his opposition to this measure. In November, therefore, when no snch local causes can operate to our inju ry, they will adhere to their faith, vote for Zachary Taylor, and thus give him about 5,000 majority in theState!!! Q.ueee ? If the Editor of the "Standard" con ceds the State by 5,000, how large will not old Zac's majority be ? Answer, ye that know him ! C7 A Telegraphic despatch, to the " Baltimore Sun," dated New York, September 19, says The friends of Henry Clay in this City, those who were prominent in endeavorinz to brinjr his name before the people as a candidate for President, cave called a meeting, to take place on Friday night next, th object of which is to defer to his wishes as expressed in his letter to Mr. Brooks, or the Ex press, in regard to the Presidency. Thus il will be seen that the premature and lll-advisea move- Bent, discouateaauced promptly by Mr. Clay him elf, is to be abandoned and consigned to oblivion. C7 The following glowing and beautiful pict? which we take from Willis' Tragedy of " Bia Yisconti," illustrates eloquently the success attend ant upon rectitude and energy under opposing cir cumstances. "Sweet," truly saith the Poet, "are the uses of adversity" for it creates power oat of ustlessness, and bedecks the pathway of life, hither to strewed, perhaps, with the idle weeds of loxy lux ury alone, with the roses of hope and active enjoy meat Ye, who are bereft, as that brave eaelet. of i the support and stay of your lingering, poise but a moment, to gather strength, upon the pinion of a de termined resolution, and stretching earnestly up r you will succeed, u straight and gloriously." Biancn. An eagle once from the Euganean hills Soared bravely to the iky. In his giddy track, Scarce marked by them who gaxed upon the first, Followed a new-fledged eaglet, fast and well. Upward they sped, and afl eyes on their flight Gawd with admiring awe, when suddenly, The parent bird, struck by thunderbolt, Dropped lifeless thrtf the air. The eaglet paused, And hung upon his wings ; and as his sire Plashed in the far-down wa ve,men looked to see him lee to his nest affrighted ! Sforza (rcilk great interest). Did he SO ? MJ lord, he had a monarch's heart? He wheeled a moment iu mid air, and shook Proudly his royal wings, and then right on, With crest uplifted nH i :u. Sped to the san's.eje, straight and gloriously. We understand, the Election in nmlw th. Janey in the Senatorial District of Robeson and 7" T- w by the Governor, to Uie Pllce on the 7th of November next. w MILLARD FILLMORE. The last "Sumdaro propounds the ftUowixtgen- quiry: u Does the Editor of the ftalelrh Register Millard Fillmore as sound upon the Slav tion ? Answer yes or no." We deem it proper to give a full and explicit re ply to this interrogatory -not because It has been , made by the Editor of that sheet, but that we may thereby expose the recklessness of the Democratic Press generally, In their sedulous and unprincipled attacks upon the distinguished individual whom the Whigs have presented as a Candidate for the Vice Presidency. We do conscientiously believe that Millard Filucosk is as sound upon the subject of Slavery, as any man, of either party, North of Ma son & Dixon's line much sounder than Lewis Cass, and much Bounder eveu than that " Soutiern man with Northern principles," James K. Polk! We believe that he entertains the views of an intel ligent and high-minded Statesman the opinions of a genuine Conservative. Is our " answer" under stood ? But, unlike those Loco Foco prints that deal indiscriminate "damnation round the Land on all they deem their foe," regardless of proof or foun dation, we will offer a summary statement of the grounds of our belief. . The Congressional career of Mr. Fillmore com menced with the beginning of the 25th Congress, and closed with the 27th. For these six years, he was a very conspicuous member of the House of Re presentatives. The numerous measures he intro duced and supported, were freely discussed by the Party presses of the day, for it was a season of exci ted political struggle. The principles of prominent public men were canvassed with all the asperity of partisan warfare ; and why slept the thunders of the Southern Press then, if Mr. Fillmore was con sorting with the fanatics of the North ? This ques tion requires no elaborate reply. It was not necess ary then, as now, to traduce a Northern man with National principles, to eke out the slight, frail, im perceptible pretensions of Gen. Cass I But the main pillar upon which this Loco Foco charge of Abolitionism rests, is built upon the basis of what are termed, the Atherton Resolutions. It seems to us that these men are unfortunate in their testimony it invariably turns State's witness. The facts of the case are these. On the 11th December, 184S two months, mind ye, after this famous Erie letter, over which they indulge in such boisterous cachinnations, purports to have been written Mr. Atherton, of New Hampshire, introduced a series of resolutions in the House of Representatives, in re gard to u the rights of the South." The first Reso lution of this series, which has been omitted design edly in the garbled reports thereof, published by Loco Foco prints, reads thus: 1. Resolved. That this Government is a Govern ment of limited powers; and that, by the Constitu tion of tbe United states, Congress has riO jurisdic tion WHATEVER, over the institution of slavery in the several States of the Confederacy. And this Resolution is worth all the others put together. The remaining four, (they are familiar to every one,) upon a careful perusal, will be found to mix up the matter of receiving petitions, with the abstract question involved, and to be speculative in their tenor, and deceptive in their terms. Millard Fillmore toted for this first Resolution ! The oth- rs, again we assert, contain nothing needful to the South, that is not covered by the broad, unqualified denial of any right upon the part of Congress to in terfere with the institution of Slavery in the sev eral States of the Confederacy. They were indeed, at the time, denounced by Southern men, Mr. Wise, (now a Cass Elector in Virginia) among the number, as "a Plot sprung upon the South !" Mr. Fill more voted for the great National principle involved in the first resolution, and turned an indignant back upon the miserable charlatanry of the remainder. In contemplating then, the Congressional career of Mr. Fillmore, it will be found that he has inva riably acted in exact unison with thi& position. From it, he has never deviated, to please either North or South he has been firm, faithful, consis tent. He commenced public life with the declara tion: "I disavow, most unequivocally, now and for ever, any design on my part, to interfere with the rights of what is termed property in the Southern States." In his late frank and explicit letter to Gov. Gajle, of Alabama, he still reiterates such a posi tion, and declares that such have always been his sentiments. We do not present Mr. Fillmore, let us be understood, as a " Northern man with South ern principles" we have had enough of that genus of mongrel politicians. The people have been once cajoled into the support of Martin Van Buren, now the Candidate of the uncompromising enemies of the South, and juggled into the election of a Presi dent, who has just signed a bill with the Wilmot Pro viso in it ! Look to it, People of the South Fellow Citixens of North Carolina, that you are not deluded into the support of Lewis Cass another "Northern man with professed Southern principles !" Gen. Cass professes now to stand upon the Reso lutions of the Convention which nominated him. Mr. Fillmore stands now, and always has, upon the first of the Atherton Resolutions. We present them, one after the other : ATHERTON RESOLUTION. Resolved, That this Government is a Government of limited powers, and that by the Constitution of the li nked States, Congress has no jurisdiction whatever, over the institution of Slavery in the several States of the Confederacy. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION RESOLU TION. That Congress has no power under tbe Constitu tion, to interfere with or control the domestic insti tutions of the United States, and that such States are tbe sole and proper judges of every thing apper taining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution ; that all efforts of the Abolitionists or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with the question oi Slavery, or to iaxe incipient steps iu relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most . . m et . a. . alarming and dangerous consequences ; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the sta bility and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political in stitutions. Which, of these two propositions, contains tbe manliest, clearest declaration of Southern rights ? The one is plain and decided in its tonethe other equivocal, indirect, encumbered. We prefer the simple proposition to the intricate problem. In order that the people may see how utter and total is Mr. Cass' alleged revulsion of opinion with in the past year, we insert again his former Plat form. Verily comparando magna partis he chan ges with the facility even of the Editor of the " Stan dard." Read it well, Fellow Citixens, and say must not party malignity, recklessness and falsehood be reduced by Loco Foco Editors and Demagogues to a science, when, in the face of such developemenU, they dare call Millard Fillmore, an Abolitionist? I i iWrd! a Read it well, Mr: Standard," and then tell us, do you believe Lewis Cass fa ari Abolitionist 1 Ahi titer YE 8 it NO I JOAttK THE ABOLITIONIST !

M As soon as Mr. Davis had taken his seat. Gen. Cots came over to this side of the Senate, and with much earnestness said, in the presence of the Se nators, that HE REGRETTED MUCH THAT Mr. DAVIS HAD BY HIS SPEECH PRE VENTED THE VOTE FROM BEING TA KEN ; THAT HE (Gen.CASS) AND EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM THE FREE STATES, WOULD HAVE VOTED I U SUSTAIN THE PROVISO ; that Mr. Al len would have led off, and all the rest would have followed : that he was very sorry that they had been deprived of the opportunity of votinjr upon it; that it would have settled the question, and Gov. Davis was responsible for'defeating that result. See Houston's Senate Debates pp.1 55-7 56. W 9 9 W W : Mr. Cass eot up to reply to this, (to Mr. Mil ler's speech.) and seemed to be very much out of humor. He said be would have voted for it, if he had voted at all, last year : but he did not then anticipate, as he sees now, that it would stop the war and prevent the acquisition of territory." So then, Mr. Cass, the " inevitable war" candi date for the Presidency in 1848, says that if he could only be sure that he could have territory admitted free at the South, he would go for it: but he intends to acquire it now, and then spring Abolition after we get possession of it. HENRY CLAY THE "STANDARD." The last "Standard" concludes an article in this wise "Are you men? Are you Southern men ? Are you party slaves? Never I Then do right, as Heury Clay would have you do, and leave the consequen ces to a higher power !" From this delightful ex cerpt, it is very clear that, in the opinion of the "Standard," for us to do right is synonymous with what Henry Clay would have us do. This position being fairly deduced, the question very naturally arises "how would Henry Clay have us do?" When this question is determined, the path of duty and right will be plainly before us. We assume that, if a man, who has spent a long life in the seal ou8 support of a certain set of political principles, and devoted every energy of his mind and body to their advancement, be applied to, to know how be would have others do in political matters, he would most unquestionably recommend for their guidance those principles which had influenced and governed his past life. We take it that Mr. Clay would ad vise a strict adherence to those principles which have ever been the pride and boast of the Whig party which he himself has, on all occasions, so ably and so eloquently sustained and which we now, in onr humble way, maintain as enthusiastically as we did in the days of '40 and '44 ; .and we feel encouraged to persevere in our support of these glorious princi ples, seeing that even that virulent sheet, the "Stan dard" tells us we do right. The Editor of the "Standard," in exhorting the Whigs to do right, as Henry Clay would have them do, makes an admission which convicts him of one of these things of a change of opinion of having knowingly advocated error, and intentionally sup pressed truth, or of having acted the part of a con summate hypocrite. Henry Clay is the same now that he was in 1844 and as we then acted so would he have us act now, which, the " Standard" admits, would be right. Then it follows, as naturally as the night the day, that if the "Standard" acknowledges a course, similar to that pursued by the Whig party in '44, to be right, be has materially changed his opin ion and must be driven to the confession that he has labored against truth to the propagation of er- ror. out tr no cnange nas come over tne mind of the Editor, then we assert, that he has, by counsel ing the Whigs in the language which heads this ar ticle, acted in bad faith towards those whom he ad vises, and shown himself to be an uamitigated hyp ocrite. In the same issue the "Standard" holds the fol lowing language The Clay fever continues to spread. Meetings were about to be held in Syracuse and at other points. In the mean time, what says the gallant Harry? Botts says he will aocept ; but we shall see. Yes! "what says the gallant Harry?" What do! you reckon, Mr. Holden? We are glad to have it in our power to lay before our readers a letter from Mr. Clay on this subject. The New York Express of Saturday last says " When we first heard of the intended so-called Clay movement in this city, we addressed a private letter to Mr. Clay, not expect ing any answer which we could print but we have received an answer, in which we are authorixed to say as follows: "Ashland, Sept. 8th, 1848. " James Brooks, Esq. : " 1 have given, and shall give, no countenance or encouragement to any movement to bring my name, as a candidate for that office, (the Presidency,) before the public." "On one point, I desire no secresy, and that is that I am utterly opposed to the use of my name as a candidate for the Presidency. " My warm regards to your brother. " I am truly your friend and obedient servant, "H. CLAY." How do you like it, Mr. Editor? Does it look right to your distorted optics? Does it suit your wishes? Is it consonant with your hopes? and don't you now feel "like pouring out your soul" in indig nation and wrath against Henry Clay for declining to accept this nomination. But in candor, is not this a noble example for the imitation of all Whigs T What a rebuke to faction! See how the "gallant Harry" discountenances this attempt to schismatixe the Whig party I Whigs of the old North, udo right, as Henry Clay would have you do" indig nantly frown upon every effort made to disturb the harmony that prevails in our ranks; udo right, as Henry Clay would have you do" oppose faction, no matter from what quarter it comes, or in what phase it presents jtself whether it comes to you from disaffected Whigs in the form of the "Balti more platform" embodied in the person of Lewis Cass, or incorporated iu the editorials of the " North Carolina Staudard" resist it raise aloud your voice against it, and use all your influence to repress its direful effects. Yes! Whigs "do right, as Henry Clay would have you do!" Work for the success of Whig prin ciples!

MR. WEBSTER AND THE fff ANDARD." The Editor of the " Standard" is a strange peice of incongruity and Inconsistency, and as readily re pudfates to-sy, what he set up ai k land-mark by which to be guided, on yesterday,' as he renounced the cause of the Whigs in other day It will be re-' membered by the readers Of that print, that it had all along kept up the cry, that the Whigs of North Carolina were about to betray her into the hands of Daniel Webster, and the Federalists of the North 1 and most vociferously were we called upon to Beware ! But now, the Editor discovers that Mr. Webster is a most sage and preper counsellor, and he finds great fault with the Whigs ef North Caroli na, because, he says, they differ from him, in the sen timents of his speech delivered recently at Marsh field, Massachusetts. A very short time ago, a dif ference of opinion from Mr. W. by a Whig of North Carolina, would have been hailed as a harbinger of returning reason, by that delectable print ; but now, forsooth, he is dreadfully alarmed, for fear they will differ with him. The " North Carolina Stan dard" publishing and ajproving a speech from Dan iel Webster ! Surely, wonders will never cease ! Tbe Editor must have thoughtbimself a good Whig again. U" Who wouldn't be an Editor? We received yesterday, from the enterprising firm of Heart Li tcb ford, in our city, the present of a very hand some and superior Cravat. There are plenty " more of the same sort" on hand and, as will be seen, by reference to their Advcrtiaments, in another column, a large and tasty selection of Goods of every descrip tion. MASSACHUSETTS. The Whigs of this noble old commonwealth ha had a glorious and enthusiastic eatherinz at Wo cester. The " Boston Atlas" predicts a larger ma jority in the State for Taylor than was given to Clay. The following eloquent and true picture, we extract,from the peroration of the Hon. Mr. Choate's Address upon that occasion. Residing as we do, Mr. President, upon the sea coast, allow me to draw an illustration, which may not be so intelligible to all present I have often thought, ha looking over the three alternatives, what a very different thing this great national ship of State Almighty God bless and prosper her will be. if she should fall into the command of one of the three great candidates. ' Under General Cass, she would be a buccaneer, roaming all over the sea for silks and silver, cannonading this fort, firing into that flag, and making herself the terror of the Ocean, Under Martin Van Buren, there would be a gene ral row and mutiny fore and aft, firing from the quarter deck upon the officers, and from the main deck through the hatches down into the hold ; and, according as one or the other is in command, cruis ing to watch for runaway slaves, or to prevent slaves from running away, would be their vocation. Give her to us, and she shall swell away before every fa voring breexe upon ber errand of philanthropy, hu- ? i -.il . :. : i- v-.ii manity and civilization ; every propitious gale shall waft her on her course, and she shall carry a thou- sand merchant-men under convoy, the pride and mistress of the conscious sea. The Hon. gentleman here took his seat amid applause long and loud. JVoin the Mobile Herald and Tribune. THE SCOTCHMAN'S DESCRIPTION OF GEN. TAYLOR. Thank God, I've ken'd the good old mon Wi locks o7 ana' and eyes & fire ; We fought beneath his eagle glance, And sturdy heart that does na tire; I've ken'd him in the loud foray, When death was lying low the clan, And blood-stained grew the chapparal, And red old Rio's Water's ran. I've read o' Wallace and o Bruce, O' daring deed by Campbells done, But ne'er saw one approach so near, Perfection's picture as this mon ; He's na so tail as lords of old, But braw and bold tu look upon ; And if ye saw him in the fight, Deil take me, but ye'd blush to run. He's aye so muckle, cool and brave, Ye'd think the field a ladies' route Tbe more the danger pressing grows, The easier he can take ye out. I marked him well at Monterey, When be rode in beneath the wall How coolly be held death at bay How calmly he gave the recall. Y e Southern folk may well be proud, And tell his deeds in song and glory, The laurel wreath that decks his brow, Encircles the whole land wi' glory ; For, were the world a mighty scroll, And every tree and branch a pen, The sea all ink, ye'd fail to write The glory of earth's greatest mon. Mobile, May 22, 1848. Mc "Old Zick is coming." This expression which Col. Bragg, in his lively description of the battle of Buena Vista, quotes as having been shouted by a soldier, who came galloping up through a cloud of dust at a critical period of the day, is appropriate just now in the cbaos of con fusion, distrust and alarm, in which tne political elements and the public mind of tbe country are nvolved. We have published the guilani col onel's speech, but the subjoined passage is wor thy of a separate publication : The battle was fought, vou know the result- but you never c in know the influence that the presence of Gen. Taylor had upon the army. He alone, so it has seemed to me, could have in spired, bv a Dresence, every soldier in the army as the Volunteers were inspired. The confidence in him was complete. He had commanded Vol unteera hefore. and had been successful with i hem. He had never surrendered. He had nev-, er been whipped ; and the idea got abroad, that he never could be.

Here in North Carolina; tbe Locbfbco press eera bent on having the Regi ment from lb iA State all opposed to the old Hero. If reckles's' and unscrupulous sssefiions, without any regard for troth or probability, could deceive ah intelligent people), these men might effect their iniquitous purpose. But there is tod much truth in the old adage, that those who indulge their fdhtyi as these Locofoco' editors do, uiuaJly ha?ej short memories. The statements, of which the card we published below is a positive denial, was1 put in circulation by the Democratic Ratoon, a Locofoco papar published at Hillsborough; in' this State. Tbe Editor. eal for the Cause hae for once got the better of his judgment, arid we ad vise him fo try his baind at smaller game before he attempts,- by' barefaced and unfounded asser tions, to transform a whole Regiment of Whigs into Cass and Butler men. From the Jonesborovgh WJiig; A CARD Mr. -Editor: The Nashville Union, of the 22d ulU was handed to me this morning by a friend, who called my attention to an article copied from the Hillsboro (N- C.) Ratoob, a Democratic campaign paper. The false impression intended to be made by the editor of that print, in regard to my feelings towards Gen- Taylor, demands, at my hands, a notice and refutation I am a Tennesseean, and a Whig, and have again returned to my own State, where 1 expect and intend to vote for Tay lor and Fillmore, though I commanded a company in the North Carolina Regiment of Volunteers in Mexico. The difficulty in the North Carolina Regiment Ve known to the reading public, which resulted in oTjhe discharge of Lieutenants Singeltary and Pen , laer, from the United States service, who were again restored to their positions by the President of tbe United States. Lieut. Pender's evidence before the Court of Inquiry, implicated General Taylor, in representing Gen. Taylor as saying that the officers and soldiers engaged in the mutiny ought to be shot. Our Regiment, myself among the rest, condemned this in Gen. Taylor, and said we would not vote for him if he were a Icandidati aJJhis det oF?e!,tf andidate for the Presidency, and persevered in determination until I saw the sworn state- Lieut. Pender, since his return, stating that Gen. Taylor said, that not only persons en gaged, but tbe whole Regiment ought to be shot. Lieut. Pender proves too much, and has so figur ed in giving his testimony at different times, that I, with others, became satisfied that he was not to be relied upon as a man of veracity. And I have the utmost conSdence in Gen. Taylor, as a kind, humane, obliging, and an able officer, and I can say without vanity, I ought to know. That' part of the extract in the Union, which makes me to have said what number of the men in the Regiment would support Taylor and Fill more, is false. The remarks I made as to the number of votes for these men, were in reference to the Company I had the honor to command, and not tbe Regiment. This is tbe error of the editor of the Ratoon, in bis zeal to serve the cause of Cass and Butler. I never saw the editor in my life to know hundhough he makes a statement which he professes to have heard me make. His coursehowever, is in keeping with the enemies of General Taylor, and the grovelling, cor.temp- ptible, sneaking editors in the Locofoco ranks. JACOB H. CONSTABLE, Late Captain in N.
