In order to assist our friends, we would advise
them to
Be Careful
to examine well and see that the Ballot Box is
empty when the voting commences. The Cas

frauds, and nrmat therefore be watched. Attend
to this advice and see that it is not neglected.
See that the Votes are Counted
as soon as the pol's areolae J. Remember, free
men, that the ballot box is your only hope. Guard
it with a watchful eye. Also,
Lei not the Ballot Box

aud may, if allowed the opportunity, resort to
desperate means to maintain their power. A: the

Keep a vigilant eye upon them, aad suffer no man

John Wcntworth publishes what he calls the
Whig platform, and says that "it is exposed in
its nakedness to the view of the whole country.
If our Locofoco friends are shocked a: the sight
of a naled platform, they had better put pan
talettes upon the legs of theirs, as the squeamish
girl did upon the legs of her piano.
The Editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel says,
that a late speech of Governor IHcher, at that
place, gives him)" a poor opinion of human nature
and of his race." We apprehend that Gen Case,
after the 7th of November, will need no Whig
speeches to give a poor opinion of his race "
The Locofoco papers praise Gen. Cass for his
opposition to the " quintuple treajvi-t-was the
only quintuple thing he was everTbiown to op
pose. He never opposed quintuple compensa
tion for his services or doubly quintuple rations.

py-The following remarks are extracted from
the Star,' of this City, as they give the substance
of thermarfci of Mr. Mttxaa, the Whig Elector,
in his controversy with Mr. Busssb, recently be
fore their fellow-citixens of Wake, upon the subject
of tbc Veto power :
Ilo said, this was intended by the framers of the
Constitution to be used as a cosrvatiyk power
to protect the constitution from violation, and pre
vent encroachments upon the Executive Branch.
But it had been greatly perverted and abused. So
much so, that the time has arrived when it should
be boldly proclaimed, that the great and momentous
question the most momentous of all now to be de
termined, iS WHETHER, THE PkOPLE OR THE PRESI
DENT shau. govern. That is now one of the issues,
and the greatest or ALr. issues ! We call this a
Republic and England a Monarchy. The King of
England possesses the veto power, yet he has not
exercised it for one hundred and sixty years ! The
List time it was resorted to by an English Monarch,
was during the reign of Will mm the third, and he
had soon to yield to the demauds of the House of
Commons! But how is it with us! A bout 26 times
since the adoption of our constitution has this pow
er been used, and it appears that the older the gov
ernment grows the more frequent has become its
use under the ruling dynasty. That which was
intended as the (: extreme medicine of the Constitu
tion" has become daily food ! This power has been
exercised in some instances so oppressively and wan
tonly, that even the crowned heads of Europe must
envy the prerogaliv of our Republican President. ,
The French People have driven their King from his !
throne the cry thro out all Europe is for tne exten
sion of privileges of the many and the curtailment
of Royal Prerogative and Executive power, yet we
are disposed to sit listlessly down and view without
emotion, without indignation,the most high-handed
usurpations oi power aua me most oppressive exer
cise of Presidential prerogative. It was never in
tended that the President should be allowed to exer
cise an absolute veto upon the acts of Congress, yet
how often have we seen the President pocket a bill
and thereby give to the peoples' Representatives no
opportunity to pass it. by the constitutional majori
ty, if they desired so to do ! buch au exercise of
Power is at war with the spirit of our government
it breaks down its Republican power, it makes it
the Government of man. 1 1 is mere mockery to sup-
pose'that if audi a practice be tolerated, this Govern
ment can ultimately become any thing else than that
worst of all Governments, an Elective Monarchy.
Let any man reflect for a moment what vast power
and patronage the President of this country wielup.
As the Country increases in population and sue this
power and patronage must also increase. How nec
essary then is it that no doubtful powers should be
thrown into the hands of the Executive. I be de
sign of all who wish to preserve our Republican In
stitutions should be to watch with Argus eyes the
Executive. litre is the danger. What danger can
there be in Congress ? No law can pass except with
the consent of a'mnjority of the popular Branch, nev
er longer than 2 years from the People, and ever
watchful of the wishes of their constituents as they
are ever desirous of being re-elected. It has been
proclaimed as Democratic doctrine that the Presi
dent is the only real Representative of the people, and
therefore ought to be superior to Congress. Such
a doctrine is dangerous to freedom is false in its
premises, aud will prove ruinous in its consequences.
It should be met at the threshhold, with uncompro
mising resistance. Who elects the President?
Not the People dirtct. It has been often attempted
to give the Election direct to the People by an al
teration of the constitution; but it has ever failed.
The people vote through Electors, and those Elec
tors can be chosen by the people of each State or ap
pointed by the Legislature, as the state may deter
mine, as is now the case in the very Democratic
state of South Carolina! This doctrine which
would make the President the only real representa
tive of the people, is no doubt sweet to the cars of
power, and suits the taste of that party which would
now extend the prerogative of the President to per
petuate themselves in office; but it is a doctrine
which has ever been the stepping stone to Despo
tism. Every Usurper of which history speaks, be
gan his encroachments under the plea ot being the
friend and agcut of the people !
This doctrine is now avowed for no other purpose
than to over-ride and break down the power of Con
gress. The great Usue ofthe campaign, then,-is:
SHALL the PEOPLE or the PRESIDENT GOV
ERN 1 The former can never be sovereign so long
as the veto power is unrestricted in its exercise, it
is said that the Whigs wish to amend the .Constitu
tion. I Us not so. They want to see placed in the
Presidential Ogke a man who will bring back the
Executive to its original design in the exercise of all
its powers ; who will permit the people through their
representative to pass their ojrn laws, provided they
do not violate the Constitution or encroach upon the
other departments of the Government Can this be
any thing less or more than the old Republican doc
trine which distinguished its advocates from the
politicians ofthe Hamilton school? No no! It
was the very pivot opon which the difference be
tween them turned ! Gen. TAYLOR and bis frends
stand in connection with this great issue where the
Republicans of old stood, and there they will con
tinue to stand! Thev mar be denounced as hav
ing no principle by those who profess one set of doc
trines and practice another ; but this is the Polar
star of their hopes and exertions: RESISTANCE
to EXECUTIVE POWER OBTAINED THRO
UGH THE RASH, UNCONSTITUTIONAL
AND WANTON EXERCISE OF THE VETO 1
Upon this ereat and momentous issue we cannot be
defeated. It is the same strueele which the friends
of free government have hod to keep op in every age
of the world : And can any man say we have not a
glorious lender to head our ranks in this struggle?
is he not BRAVE? None yet have ever doubted
him, but the cowardly demagogue who sneaks from
one dark hole to another, to spew out his slander for
partizan purposes. I he brave the crave, whether
they be with him in politics or not, have never yet
doubted his iron nerve or distrusted his gallant soul !
is he HONEST ? His bitterest revilers have not
yet attempted to tarnish his honor. They all con
cede tnat in this he is truly one of " the noblest works
of God." Is he FIRM? Let the incidents of the
fearful night which preceeded the bloody battle of
Resaca speak for him, or let the Bout which dictated
the language to those in power. " 1 ASK NO FA
VORS AND SHR1NT FROM NO RESPONSI
BILITY' speak for itself! Is he PATRIOTIC ?
Forty years privation, hardship?, and exposure to
every species of danger, is ample proof. None could
adduce stronger. Is he CAPABLE? Though " no
politician," his mind never having fed on the dain
ties that are to be found in the volumes of political
science, or been imbued in those vicious and vuionary
theories which often allure but to corrupt and des
troy, still his intellect is richly stored with the gol
den lessons of wisdom drawn from the inexhaustible
mine of experience ! If elected, standing upon the
broad Platform of the constitution, where Wash
ington and all the great fathers of the Republic
stood, his desire will be, and his efforts so directed,
not to engender party strife or sectional prejudices
not to forestall the popular will not to endanK
the public liberty by corrupting the public presS -not
to fan the flame of national aggrandisement not
to give new life to the spirit of war and conquest, bui
in all things and at all times to keep steadily in view,
the lessons of wisdom, contained in the farewell ad
dress of the father of his country to encourage
harmony and good feeling respect the wishes ofthe
people keep all the avenues of public freedom pure,
the sentinels which guard her temple ever awake;
infuse into the minds of all a love of peace and a hor
ror of war, except to avenge the national wrongs or
defend the national honor, inculcate a reverence
for the Union, and an ever abiding conviction, that
upon theviRTVE and intelligence of our PEOPLE
rests our hope of national prosperity and glory. And
theu then indeed, will his election be a triumph,
surpassing in brilliaucy and importance all the
victories he has ever won in arms and which have
adUed such lustre to the American name ! Let the
friends of the country rally under his Aug ! ! !
Correspondence of the Bull. Patriot.
The Administration is alarmed ! The Govern
mebt office-holdert are in the field, inspjte ofthe
admonitions and warnings of Jefferson and of
Jackson, and are neglecting their official duties
to interfere in the elections which are going
on.
Look at the CentraW Locofoco Committee on
Electioneering. Who arc its members 1 Gen
eral Furioso Buatamenie Foote, Senator Iroin
Mississippi, stands at its head. Next is William
J. Brown, Second Assistant Postmaster General.
And the next and last is Edmund Burke, Com
rais8iouer of Patents.
Brown directs and franks electioneering docu
ments by the cart load makes bets ou Cass
election and perambulates the country to make
partizan speeches. In doing all this, he cannot
be much of the lime in his office. Does the Gov
erment, which pays him a salary of $2,500, jus
tify him in leaving his office to electioneer for
Lewis Cass 1
Burke, who cannot make speeches or mingle
with the people like Brown, can write all sorts of
unscrupulous Locofoco editorials for the official
organ. He does work of this nature with a zest
and a zeal, for which he is notorious. Does the
Government pay him a salary of 83,000 to ne
glect the duties of his office, to interfere in elec
tions 1
Do Brown and Burke remember and heed the
declarations .of Jefferson and Jackson on this sub
ject 1
The other day, this Mr. Second Assistant Post
master General Brown made a Cass speech at
the Locofoco gathering in Blauensburg. He was
announced as Air. Brown, of Indiana I
More recently, a Locofoco meeting was held
in another part of Maryland, at Harlborough, and
two of the speakers, as editorially announced in
the Washington Union, were Gen. McCalla, of
Kentucky, and Mr. B. F. Brown, of Ohio.
Now this General McCalla is an office-holder,
in this city the Second Auditor of the Treasu
ry, at a salary of $3,000 And the Mr. Brown,
in question, is also an office lioldor at the seat
of Government a clerk in Gen- McCalla's own
office !
A delightful brace of perambulating election
eerers, leaving the duties of their station to go a
broad and make demagogue speeches ! Why,
almost all last winter and spring this same Au
ditor McCalla, was boring Congress to grant him
more clerical help, more clerks ; or else, he de
clared, he could uot make out and setile the
numerousnd pressing accounts of soldiers who
had pervetTin Mexico Does the Government
pay him and hn clerk Brown, to attend to the
duties of their actions, or lo waste their lime in
interfering in elections !
In addition lo these gentry, and the work of
sundry salaried clerks and messengers in the
Executive Departments, in the way of voting
and directing and distributing Locofoco docu
ments, the services of Mr. Polk's Superintendent
of the Penitentiary, Mr. C. P. Sengstack, are cal
led into requisition ! Transparencies and trans
parent lanterns for the use of IKofoco proces
sions, are manufactured there, it is understood, by
wholesale, but whether by the convicts or not is
a mitter yet unknown to the public. Cart loads
of locofoco paniphletF, in part signed by Seng
stack h.inself, are said to be taken there to be
directed and made ready to cumber the mails.
Does the Government pay Sengstack twenty five
hundred dollars a year lo set the laborers in the
Penitentiary to making electioneering lanterns
and other transparencies, and directing election
eering documents, instead of working at their
respective tasks upon articles that would sell !
Have these office-holding gentry any claims to
be called the followers of Jefferson and Jackson?
What 6aid Mr- Jefferson! Here are his words :
Extract from Mr. Jefferson's Circular ad
pressed to Office-Holders.
" The President of the United States has seen,
with dissatisfaction, officers of the General Govern
ment lakiug, ou various occasions, active parts in
the elections of public functionaries, whether of the
State or General Government. Freedom of election
being essential to the mutual independence of Gov
ernment, and of the different bra uc lies of the same
Government, so vitally cherished by most of our
constitution., it is detmed imvrojr for officers derid
ing on the Extcutitt ofthe Union to attempt to control
or wjiuenc.the free exercise of the elect ice right. It is
expected that uo officer will attempt to influence the
voice of other men, nor take any part in the business
of electioneering that being deemed inconsistent
with the spirit of the Constitution aud his duties."
And what said Jackson ? Here also are his words;
also the word of his old democratic friend and neigh
bor, Judge Grundy :
Gen. Jackson's Inaugural Address.
The recent demonstrations of public sentiment in
scribe on the Hal of Executive duties, in characters
too legible to be overlooked, the task of reform, which
will require particularly the correction of those abuses
tliat have brought the patronage of the Federal Govern
vtent into conflict with the freedom of elections."
Extract from a srEECit of Felix Grundy, former
ly a Democratic Senator from Tennessee, and
Attorney General Under Mr. Van Burkn
" When 1 see au office holder inlet fering in elec
tions, it occurs to me that he is thinking of his salary
and his bread, and is therefore an unfit adviser of the
people."
Now let these electioneering office holders give up
their pretended regard for the counsels of Jefferson
aud Jackson, and remember that Old Zack is coming,
wlu will not forget them ! POTOMAC.

, ! A CAM, TO THR CONTEST. ,
Her is a tpirit-stirnng appeal to the Whigs of
the Batted States, by the New York "Express.
Readmit, all you who are friends of Taylor and
FUlmgre, and finding yourself moved by the spir
it whiph animated the writer, resolve that hence
forth isou will neither turn to the right nor the
left but looking only forward to the great duty
of electing the man of your choice go on to do
ynuf duty:
,4Tfie Wxiigs of the United States are now
so wejl aroused, and we may add now so well
uniteq, that it seems hardly necessary to roll the
drum jwiy longer; but action aud concord, though
indispensably necessary for success, are yet not
half epough of what is wanted. Action must be
turned to useful account. There must be ener
gy, en,tbu8iasm, watchfulness, and, above all, or
gnnizft,tion. Is the Whig party every where or
gauizs'd ! That is the question. No' is the an
swer ye venture to say, in rno6t quarters, but 'no'
must be the answer no longer, for where there is
no organization there is no certainly of success.
Regulars are as important in politics as in war,
and discipline is as necessary for success at the
ballot;box as in the field. Orations, addresses,
resolutions, speeches, &c. are all important, but
not much more important, than the band of mu
sic in an army. The bugle inspires, the fife ar
ouses, the drum wakes up the band, then makes
even cowards brave, but it is the silent host mov
ing shoulder to shoulder, step, by step, that does
the work. Orations, addresses, resolutions.
speeches, &.c are all well enough, nay very neces
sary, but the true captain, in a coming great day,
must :know his men, and where to rind them.
Organization and discipline ensure him success,
no matter what the host arrayed against him.
He cnunts three, who adds two votes to his own.
" 'e apprehend thai the business classes of so
ciety (tre not yet sufficiently awaken to the way in
which? this -election touches their interests. We
fear th'ey da not yet sufficiently portray the dangers
involved in the election of Cass and conquest. One
war, jiiiprofitnble enough, we have had under the
demagogue Polk How many we may have under
the spirit which would elect Cass, who can foresee
or foretell ? We think that merchants, traders, and
formers arc not yet wide awake enough to the im
portance of the opening the way of our great Wes
tern takes and rivers for all the outlet and inlets of
commerce. They do not remember always that Polk
has s&pped nil Internal Improvements by the Fede
ral Government in the face of all the precedents of
preceding Presidents, and, that Cass is pledged to
follow iu his footsteps. They may just now here in
New Vork. under a severe pressure in the money
mnrkt, ponder enough upon the mischiefs, corrup
tions, ;aud perils of the Sub-treasury act, but do they
think enough of the dangers of excessive importa
tions! Do they see how the manufacturing interests
are depressed ? Are they aware of the consequences
of buying from Europe more than Europe will take
from us 1 These are all great business questions for
business men to settle : and in less than n month the
policj? of the Government is to be fixed for years,
and it may be twenty.
" Itiergy, organization, and reflection be then the
natchfvord of Whigs hence till the election day is over.
The ime
IS SHOBT, AND THE WORK MUST CE BATID.
" 1 Gen. Cass should be elected, the Missouri line
will be run through to the Pacific, or some other com
promise will be adopted ; and if the Wilmot Provi
so should pass Congress during his Administration,
he nrd apply the veto to ir."
So "says the "Standard." Now let's hear 'what
his Northern Allies say, who know Gen. Cass like a
book r
BEAR IT IN MIND, that, if Gen. Cass is elec
ted President, he is pledged to veto any bill that
shall go to establish slavery in Territories now free,
i Hdlsdae (Mich.) Gazette
Bear if in mind, that the Gazette is published
in Gqjn. Cass's own neighborhood, and is presum
ed to; know something, if not of his opinions, at
least of his pledges to the people of that quarter.
Bear it in mind, also, that according to the
"Standard," Gen. Cass is pledged to veto any
bill that shall provide for the exclusion of slavery
from ihe Territories of New Mexico and Cali
fornia. Bear ii iti mind, therefore, that Gen Cass, if the
Stanford and Gazette are to be believed, is pledg
ed orj both sides of this great qnestion.
We ask WHO IS TO BE CHEATED? If
Gen. Cass should be elected, and should approve the
Wilmot Proviso, will not the c: Standard" and South
ern Jjoco Focos denounce him ? But if he should
veto jt, will not the '; Hillsdale (Michigan) Gazette"
and Northern Cass Democrats curse him as a traitor
to tb,'e cause of free soil, and false to his solemn
pledges?
Wjjio is correct? His neighbors or the "Stand
ard"! Again:
The following Resolutions were adopted by a De
mocratic Mass Sleeting at Concord, Massachusetts,
on thfe 12th of September, 1848:
m
"NOT A SLAVE-HOLDER ON THE TICKET."
CC? " Resolved, That the charge that the Demor

LT" petuating its existence, is founded in falsehood,
LIT" jND TUOSE WHO MAKE IT KNOW IT TO BE

There you have it, pat enough, that whoever

A LE, and those tvho mate it know it to b a lie,
when they say it ! How do you take it ? We did

AiANOYER THE FALLS OF NIAGARA:
Neither fiction nor fact furnish an incident of
moti thrilling interest than one which occurred
last iryening at the Falls, and is'detatled below
by our. correspondent. There is something ter
ribly appalling, almost sublime, in the struggles
for life of a strong, self-possessed man, when
drawn into the torrent that, with the speed of a
racehorse, sweeps him onward to certain des
truction. A moment scarcely elapses between
entire safety and a most fearful death, yet in that
moment what a wealth of life may be compressed.
How like lightning must flash through the mind
all the Dleasant recollections of childhood, the
firm resolves of vigorous manhood, the hopes of
the future, the endearments of home and friends,
repentance for past errors, and prayers for for
giveness in that dread presence to which he is so.
awfully summoned :
Niagara Falls, October 2, 1848
At about sundown last evening, a man was
carried over the Falls. Who he was is not
known. From his management of the sail-boat in
which he came down the river, I think he was not
well acquainted with the current or the rapids.
His dress and appearance indicated respectability,
and after he got into the rapids his self-possession
was most extraordinary. His boat was a very
good one decked over on the bow, and I should
think would carry three or four tons. From what
I learn of a sail-boat having been seen below
Black Rock, coining down, I think it is from there
or Buffalo. No other than a person unacquaint
ed with the current above the rapids would ven
ture so near them.
It was on the head of Goat Island when I first
discovered the boat then near half a mile below
the foot of Navy Island, and nearly two miles a
bove tho Falls. There seemed to be two in the
boat. It was directed towards the American
shore the wind blowing from this shore, and still
the sail was standing. Being well acquainted
with the river, I regarded the position of the boat
as extraordinary and hazardous, and watched it
with intense anxiety. Soon I discovered the
motion of an oar, and from the changing direction
of the boat, concluded it had but one. While
constantly approaching nearer and nearer the
rapids, I could discover it was gaining the Ameri
can shore, and by the time it had got near the first
fall, the rapids, about half a mile above Goat Island,
bore it directly above the island. There it was
turned up the river, and for some time the wind
kept it nearly stationary. The only hope seemed
to be to come directly to Goat Island, and whe
ther I should run half a mile to give alarm or re
main lo assist, in the event the boat attempted to
make the island, was a question of painful doubt.
But 60on the boat was again turned towards the
American shore. Then it was certain it most go
down the American rapids. I ran for the bridge
saw and informed a gentleman and lady just
leaving the island, but they seemed unable to ie
ply or move. I rallied a man at the toil-gate we
ran to the main bridge in time to see the boat just
before it got to the first large fall in the rapids.
Then I saw but one man he standing at the stern
with his oar, changing the course of the boat
down the current, and as it plunged over, he sat
down. I was astonished to see the boat rise with
the mast and sail standing, and the man, again
erect, directing the boat towards shore. As, he
came to the next and to each succeeding fall he
sat down, and then would rise and apply his oar
in the intermediate current.
Still there was hope that he would come near
enough to the pier to jump, but in a momen.it
was gone. Another, that he might jump upon
the rock near the bridge, but ihe current dashed
him from it under the bridge, breaking the mast.
Again he rose, on the opposite side. Taking his
oar and pointing his boat towards the main shore,
he cried, " had 1 better jump from the boat V We
could not answer, for either seemed certain des
truction. Within a few rods of the FaMs the boat
struck a rock, turned over, and lodged. He ap
peared to crawl from under it, and swam with
the oar in his hand till he went over the precipice.
Without the power to render any assistance
for half an hour watching a strong man struggling
with every nerve for life, yet doomed with almost
the certanity of destiny to an immediate and awful
death, still hoping with every effirt for his deli
verance caused an intensity of excitement I pray
God never again to experience-
I write too hurriedly for publication, but I have
stated all we have seen or know respecting the
mau or boat, and from which I hope you will be
able to glean so much for publication as will lead
to the discovery of ihe man.
