He is again a candidate, and vill no doubt be elected. Indeed, we learn he will have no opposition.

We have known some tolerably mean things per petrated, in these latter times, by fractions of the Democracy, and sanctioned by many who scorned the acts, but for the temporary aid they might afford to their cause. That infamous slander, which was so effectually nailed to the counter as soon as it was uttered, that Geu'l. Taylor declared that (: all the officers of the North Carolina Regiment deserved to be sent home in disgrace, and all the men shot," is one of the num ber. That similar one, about the abase by Gen'l. Tay lor of that robber of hen roosts and hog thief from Ohio which was so easily transferred to the nhole Ohio Regiment, is another. Equally distinguished is the position lately taken in the Democratic Review, that the Battle of Buena Vista was achieved by the indomitable "courage of the men in spite oj the blunders of the commanding General." Of a peice, is that veracious history said to have been told to Maj. Wilder, while in Mexico, that the old Fellow, who by some credulous people, is thought entitled to a little credit for that same glo rious Tictory, was snugly ensconced in a ravine, where the balls could not reach him while his men were bravely fighting the battle. Q,uere7 (by the way.) When Gen'l. Taylor was down that ravine, where ball nor bomb could injure, wasCapt Bragg down there too firing away up at the sun, instead of the Mexicans? And was it there, that the old Hero called for a c: little more grape?" But yet more contemptible M than this than these than aH,? b the attempt in the last "Standard" to produce from the' following letter of Gen'l- Tay lor at Monterey, in reply to one, received by him from Gen'l. Wool at Saltillo, an impression that Gen:l. Taylor has " uttered a slander against our brave Volunteers" that Gen'l Taylor "has declared in an official letter that the N. C. Regiment could not be relied on in the hour of battle, and that their conduct had been not only highly unsoldierlike and insubordinate, but diszrnceful and cowardly." Here is the letter as published (whether correctly or not, we do not know) in the last " Standard." 11 Camp near Monterey, August 19, 1847. Mv Dear General: Your letter of yesterday has this moment reached me ; and, although I regret ted, to make any change to my order in relation to the number aud description of troops ordered to joiu the columu uuder the command of General Scott, yet I am induced, on your representation of the stale of the feelings -which exists among the Mississippi and North Carolina regiments which, I am deeply mor tified to hear is so highly unsoldierlike and insubordin ate to contermand, for the present, so much of the said order as relates to Captain Deas's company ; as you very correctly say, ia this state of thiugs, ttut only troops you could rely on, in the event of meeting the enemy, would be the Virginia reg mint, your artil lery, 3c, iucludiug your dragoons and mounted men. The unwarrantable attack made ou Colonel Paine, for no other cause but that of doing his duty with zeal, aud in a soldierly maouer, aud compelling those under him to do so, is tfte most disgraceful and cow ardly occurrence which has taken place since the com mencement of the present war. The prompt mea sures you have takeu to put down the same, which are entirely approved, I hope will restore a proper state of discipliue in that corps, (the North Caroliua regiment,) aud that it will, for the time to come, by its good conduct, made ameuds for the errors it has fallen into. With respect and esteem, your frieud and servant, Z. TAYLOR. General J. E. Wool, United States Army, Commanding ai Sa1tillot Mexico. Official :IRVIN Mc DO WELL, Assistant Adjutant General." Has Gen'l. Taylor in this letter, slandered our brave Volunteers? He was at Monterey. A letter from Gen'L Wool gives the first information of the uuhappy state of affairs then existing in our Regi ment, in a letter which the " Standard" does not publish, and which we have no means of seeing. Gen'l. Taylor replies that he is " deeply viortijiedto hear" "on his representation" that a state of feeling exists so "highly un-sofQierlike and insubordinate." Is this the language of a slandeier ? Are slanderers usually " deeply mortified" not only when they utter slanderous charges, but even when they hear of them ? The Editor of the M Standard" is a Lawyer. He must, or ought to know that to constitute slan der, there must be vialice, even in the person who originates the charge. Strange slander is that, which causes one such deep mortification even to hear. Whether Gen'l Wool's representations were cor rect or not, we shall not now discuss. They were evidently such, as if true, would satisfy not only Gen'l Taylor but every body else, that " in this state f things" it would be safer to rely on others "in the event of meeting the enemy," thau on those who were charged whether truly or not, with being en gaged in a mutiny. What means had Gen'l Taylor, at that distance from the scene, of knowing what was the state of things then existing at Saltillo, except from the representation of the Officer next in command? Was it for. him to distrust their statement? Was he to believe it false? But he does not, except by repeating what Gen'l Wool had written, and with the qualifications, "as you very correctly say" and " in this state of things," declare that our Regiment could not be relied on in action. All this would ap pear clear as day-light, if the "Standard" had seen fit to publish the letter of Gen'l Wool to which this is a reply. Why was it not published ? Did the "Hon. J. D. Westcott of Florida" tell the "Stand ard" what port of the "Document" to publish and what to leave out ? Did the Honorable gentleman tell him what to underscore and what to omit in Gen'l Taylor's letter? Did he authorise or suggest the garbling that appears evident on the face of the letter as printed? We thought Sonator Douglass and old Sam Houston had charge of North Caroli na! We would not marvel much if that rnultifari ousman, Senator F oote, should next place his hand on the head of good naturcd old Rip Van Winkle, after Westcott. We are getting down fast. But the most outrageous misrepresentation of this business is, that Gen. T:iylor had declared that the conduct of the North Carolina Regiment had been " disgraceful and cowardly. Why read the letter again. The old Hero says that the attack on CoL Paine was a " most disgraceful and cowardly occur rence." It could be disgraceful and cowardly only to those who made it. Who arc they ? We believe that there were only three of the North Carolina Regiment in it. The rest of the actors were from the Virginia Regiment. Wc have no doubt that the act was disgraceful and cowardly in the highest de gree. We never doubted but that those engaged in that assault on a meritorious officer, whose great fault was "doing his duty with zeal and in a sol dierly manner, aud compelling those under him to do so," deeply disgraced themselves. We think so till and we say it without exception cr.ffsem. But wc certainly do not dream of making it ns a charge upon the k-hble Regiment. According to our arithmetic, there is a wide ; difference between three j Taylor did hot speak of and eight hundred. Gen. Tayl the Regiment. He did not mean the Regiment. He meant those who were engaged in that disgraceful ! attack on Col. Paine, and nobody else Audttey de- served it richly. This attempt to pluck the w ell-earned laurels from the brow of the old Soldier, is ineffably weak as well as grossly wrong. The people, in whose hearts he is enshrined so surely, will never bear it They feel j that Zachary Taylor is a good old man, incapable of slandering any one on this broad earth. And our North Carolina Volunteers have heard his TOtce of approval too often, to listen with patience to those pitiful attempts to alienate him from their affections. THE QUIBBLER CAUGHT! The last "Standard" in its vain endeavors t ex tract n drop of consolation from the overwhefminsr result of the Pennsylvania Election, cries out that it is "a most alarming spectacle to see Southern Whigs throwing up their caps, nod exulting over the Free Sail triumph in Pennsylvania." What consummate hypocrisy ! I f the Loco Focos had carried the State by a large majority, what a glorification and huzza this same Journal would have made. But without indulging in any such supposition, wo need not go at all out of the way, to convict that sheet of an in consistency, as gross as it is characteristic- we have the evidence in the very number of the "Standard" in which the foregoing remarks appear. In that number, the Editor congratulates himself upon the prospect of Cass and Butlers carrying this State, in November, as the late "Free Soil movement tcill draw off several thousand rotes from Taylor and FxU more!" As there is no Van Buren Ticket out in this State the Jamestown Convention idea having been abandoned these votes must be cast (accord ing to the "Standard's" hopes and calculations) for the Baltimore Nominees. The "Standard" howev er, manifests no holy horror, no virtuous indignation at the " alarmuig" idea of carrying this Southern State for its own party, through the agency of Free Soilism ! ! Or in other words, it is willing to wink and connive at Abolitionism, in order to effect party purposes ! ! ! Is it not so ? The assumption, however, that the late Free Soil demonstration will subtract largely from our strength in the State, is as false, as it is preposterous. We do not mean to insinuate, that the Orange affair was conducted by, or composed entirely of Democrats ; 1 but we do assert, upon the authority of those who should know, that members of that party had the principal agency in the transaction. They may have labored behind the scenes ; but, one thing is certain? they labored efficiently. Equally unfounded too is the assertion that our late glorious triumph in the "Keystone" State was effected through the assistance of Abolitionists. It was perfected by the Mechanics the laboring men the hard-fisted yeomanry men who were deceive! and deluded on the Tariff question, in 1844, by Mr. Polk and his friends." They are determined to be made, no longer, the victims of a fraud, so gross within itself and so disastrous to their interests and they will rally again in November, as they have just done, to the support of that party, that will cor rect and reform the abuses of the present Adminis tration! ESTION! fjto se of our Democrat rl m. Ldi PONDER THE QUESTION We are convinced that if those ic friends who are disposed to be candid, will pause and weigh well in their minds the charge of Wil mot Provisoism urged against Gen. Taylor, they will, at once, with that promptness and indignation such conduct merits, ' renounce all allegiance to a Party, that is compelled to resort to such vile means to prop up its sinking hopes. There is, if we mis- take noL a stronir and rutin o- nrineinle in the i1H. , o o I r man breast, which can, instinctively, as it were, dis- criminate between tustice and miustice. I he cues-1 f a tion to be duly considered and impartially weighed is this: Can Gen. Tatlor, a Southern Slaveholder identified with your interests and institutions who says that, in the event of his election, he will admin ister affairs for the good of the nhole Country a man, who, through a long and useful life, has sus tained a character above suspicion or reproach can such a one prove recreant to the institutions of those among whom be has lived, sacrifice his own and your interests, thus inflicting serious injury upon a large section of the Country while by pursuing an oppo site course, he inflicts no injury upon the interests of the North, but merely combats an opinion as to the morality of the institution of Slavery ? Or is it safer to trust Geu. Cass who is a Northern man, with Northern ideas about the matter who is pro claimed by his neighbors the uncompromising advo cate of free soil who once expressed a desire to von for the WUmot Proviso? Is it right, to lend A support to the success of that Party, that de nounces my own Southern neighbor as unsound up on issues of vitality to the South, while it upholds and applauds the course of a Northern citizen, avow edly, in times when not feeling for Southern votes, hostile to its interests ? Pause aud ponder well these things. Give utterance'to the language of your indignation give substantial force to that utterance, by voting for the slandered old Hero and Patriot Zachaiiy Iayior! M K- As no democrat will tell us whether Gene William O. Butler is an abolitionist or not, it is fair to infer that his Massachusetts friends w ere correct when they passed a resolution stating that he was no slaveholder, and was one of those Kentuckians who were in favor of the abolition of slavery in Kentucky. MEETING AT WARSAW. We learn from the " Wilmington Commercial" that the Whig gathering at Warsaw, in Duplin coun ty, on Saturdny last, was very well attended, des pite the very inclement state of the weather. Mr. Badger (the "Commercial" goes on to say) gave a speech ou the occasion, which was in his usu al style of excellence ; and this is saying enough for jj any speech. George Davis, Esq., was there, and 5 nA Inn ku-f nfTnwta ItfMVl (Wl t ! fi fA And lft- ,' ... , ... j-. lighted the assembly.

A combination of these latter with Gen. Taylor's friends, will give him the electoral vote of the State. If it aboM not be thrown away on Mr. Calhoun, such we have no doubt, will be the result At any rate, it seems to be reduced to a certainty tbat Cass can not get it. SONS OF T EM P F. n A VO V. Made ulb'st imposing disnhiv in this fStv ari is - . o j- j . .-j Thursday night last, on the occasion of the delivery ofome Public Addresses in the Methodist Episco pa Church. At an early hour the cilurch was pled with Ladies and Gentlemea, and sboh the members ofihe Order made their appearance clothed in their beautiful Regalia the Grand Division in Scarlet, an1 the Subordinates in pure, unsullied white, to th number bf about iOO. After their arrival In the Church and an impressive Prayer, by the Rev. L. K5 Wilet, Chaplain, a fine Temperance Ode was most exquisitely sung by Messrs. Cooke, CosBVj YbuNG, and Evans ; when Mr. Alex. M. Gorman, off our City, was introduced to the audience; as one of the Speakers of the evening. The address of Mr. Q. was a neat and beautiful peice of oratory abounding in rich thought, chaste imagery, and hap rjr simile and was alike a credit to the speaker and tfjc Order which he represented. We understand is is to be published. After singing another Ode, the Rct. Mr. Wal xt.rs, of Ohio, was introduced, who made one of the happiest Addresses we ever heard. It was replete with matters of fact which had come under his own observation and knowledge, showing the deleterious effects of the 'use of intoxicating drinks, and the happy results of a life ef total abstineucc interspers ed too with appropriate incidents and anecdote. Wc fciave not time for a more extended notice, but we jjnust say" in conclusion, that such a turn-out, with such speeches, cannot but result in great good to this prosperous and praise-worthy Institution, in this Community. It will be seen from the following Correspondence, that this gallant Officer was tendered the compliment of a Public Dinner, on his late passage through the ,'Towd of Macon, Ga., by the native North Carolin ians resident in that place. His duties would not allow him to accept an invitation, at once so gratify ing to himself and honorable to both parties concern ed. Macon, Oct. 9, 1S48. Lieut. Col. Bragg. U.S. A.

Did the Major tell the Engineer that he volun teered once himself but was like the Donkey "what wouldn't go," until Mr. Polk gave him a fut office? Was the Engineer who pointed out that place of concealment a Loco Foco, who really intended to rob the old Hero of his well-earned honors? or was it merely a quiz by some good natured fellow, who saw that his disciple was verdant, and was willing to make him appear ridiculous? Did the Major carry out any particular quantity j of Documents for distribution, when he went out West to pay on the boldiers ; ana docs uucie oam pay him tor that service ? Who keeos that pile of documents in Raleigh, 1 tbat no Whig is allowed to see, which prove (!) that Millard Fillmore is a rank Abolitionist and that Gen'l Taylor is pledged not to veto the Wilmot Proviso ?

OLD PASQUOTANK AT HER POST. At a meeting, over which Dr. R. H. Ramsay presided, and Georgn D.

District Committees of Vigilance appointed, and all necessary measures adopted for vigorous, constant and successful action. The following are the officers of the Club: Dr. R H.

The beauties of Locofocoism perhaps were nev er more fully set forth tiian in an abusive attack of the 'Chivalry of South Carolina," upon the Hon. Mr. Holmes, because he delivered an Eulo gy over the remains of the late John Quinry Ad ams. To this Mr. H. responds as follows, which, we should think, would put his calumniators to shame. He says : Another attack is made upon me, and I am charged wilh the atrocity of delivering an Eulogy over the remains of the Ute John Quiucy Adams. Sir, 1 am one of those who would rather strew flowers over the bier, even of au enemy, than dig at the grave to find some bitter root wilh which to quicken my malignity. Two evenings previous to the death of Mr. Adams, and when it was known that he must die, a committee, called at iny house, where my friend Jude Butler was spending the evening, and in the presence of the Judge, requested me, in the name of the Delegation of Massachusetts, to de liver some, remarks over the body of Mr. Adains It was intended as a compliment from Massachus etts to South Carolina. If there be a gentle man in South Carolina who condemns me for complying with a request of the venerable Com monwealth of Massachusetts, that State which first shook hands with South Carolina in the per ils of the Revolution, 1 envy him not his senti ments. During this canvass I have said not one word of services to the State or the city. I have asked no one to mention them. I have only re plied to those who seem to enjoy the luxury of blasting the good name of a fellow citizen. I. E. HOLMES. The New York Express very justly says : This complaint speaks for itself, and comment can add nothing to iL We could hope, for the sake of our common humanity, that there are but few men living who would thus make a word filly spoken over the honored dead, an"bccasion for offence. He must be a bigot in politics who would seek out such an offence as a ground of objection. Mr. iAdams had his faults, and con fessed them often before Heaven and before men; but his sterling honesty, his love of liberty, his lifelong service, his va6t knowledge, his high patriotism, all commanded and received the ac knowledgments the great and good every where. Mr. Holmes, it is gratifying to know, has been re-elccied to Congress by a triumphant vote. Baltimore Am-risan. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. Northern Mail Rail Road. Due daily at p. m. " " " " Closes u 12 m.
