' We are in receipt of a capital account tf the Speeches of the 'Candidate for Governor at Lex ington ; we shaljive it in our next, when out friends will see that Mr. Manlt is achieving for himself in the West, as we were sure he would, a Mgh "rep utation as a Qebater, and that he is taking amazing ly with the plain though intelligent and" discrimina ting people of that great Whig section. Our Correspondent-writes that il the Farmers from the coun try were so well pleased with Mr.MALY.that they were continually gathering around him, both before and after speaking, to hear him talk ; and several remained in Town all night, as they alleged, for no other reason." And so it will be every where he goes. Plain and unassuming in his manners, of kindly, social feel ings, and of unblemished character he is just the man for the People. With CrfARiES Manly, as our Captain and Zachaey Taylor as our General, the Whig forces of North Carolina will make such a clean sweep of it, that Loco Focoism, in her bor ders, will scarcely be left with and a name." a "local habitation Remember"! that if you commit yourself to Gen. Taylor you "commit yourself also to the support of iMiiiara iumore, rvno is an ootuwnisi.BiunuuTu. But what will we do, if we " commit" ourselves to Gen. Cass.. Is he not at4east as much of an Aboli tionist as ekher Gen. Taylor Or Mr: Fillmore ? We say most unequivocal-that Lewis Cass, the Loco Foco candidate for thl Presidency, is against the South, and with the Abolition factionists of the Nattk, on the great question of Slavery ! We have so charged before, and the " Standard" has not, and cannot disprove it ! The Editor of that paper seems LOCOFOCO CONVENTION AND" OFFl- , CERS.OF VOLUNTEERS. We hare heretofore remarked, on the consistent wisdom of the Locofoo ConventioD, of the 12th of April, which most emphatically denounced our Leg islature, for not giving Ihe election of Field Officers of the Regiment of Volu nteers to the rank and file, notwithstanding the invariable usage to the contrary, and the controlling reasons which prevented an at tention to that usage in this instance; but as em phatically, approved the entire administration of President Polk, who refused such a privilege to Vol- to have taken for his motto, the advice given in the I unteers in a similar case, where there were no sueh reasons to prevent it, and reserved it tchimself. To put this latter fact beyond cavil, we make the fol lowjjog extracts fromvGeneraTt)rders, No. 14, pub lished in the Washington papers last year, dated War Department. When did ?, (the Editor of the Register) ever tell a fib ?" Standard. Without undertaking to repel the ungrounded in sinuation contained in this sentence, we defy the Editor of the "Standard" to say in his next paper, that, the following remarks, taken from his last num ber, are not " fibs" ! : "We have yet to hear of the first Democrat who has 'repudiated' Col. Reid" on the " Free Suffrage" issue. Will he dare say that the above sentence is the truth? Has he not been made to "eat" his words since, in this matter ? "On the contrary'7 (says the "Standard") '-We know several Whigs, and we have heard of many others, who will vote against Mr. Manly on this ground." We dare him to prove this assertion, by calling the name of a single Whig who will do so ! "The truth is, the real friends of Henry Clay, and the Whigs of principle here, as elsewhere, are disgusted and disappointed," says the " Standard." Now is not this known " here," by Whigs and De mocrats, to be notoriously untrue and unfounded ? Who can be point to as ever having expressed any thing like "disgust" at the nomination of the Phil adelphia Convention ? It is true, some Whigs have expressed their disappointment that their personal favorite did not receive the nomination ; but are not they now the warm advocates of Gen. Taylor, and do they not declare their determination to support him with a hearty good will 1 And with regard to the? declaration that "Taylorism will not take with the intelligent people of North Carolina," we leave the " intelligent people" themselves to pronounce in August and November next, how big a "fib" that is. " Millard Fillmore is a WHmot Provisoite and an Abolitionist!" What a whopper ! We shall doubt less soon hear from this same trnth-telling print, that even old Zachary Taylor, who was born and raised in the South, and is a large owner of Slaves, is not only tinctured with Wilmot Provisoism, but is leagued with the Abolitionists of the North ! In deed he even dares to insinuate the old Hero's un soundness, in the number of the " Standard" from which we are culling these precious " truths." Bat it is needless to proceed further we might enumerate similar ones from nearly every column of that delectable print let the above serve as a sam ple. We certainly do not envy him in his work of detraction and misrepresentation ; but we would commend to his consideration, as an incentive to forbear, the following anecdote, which is related of that brave old General, Scott of Kentucky, (of Revolutionary memory.) wjiile he was Governor of the State,, as an apt illustration of the fate that a-waitshim: A young lawyer at Frankfort, bavins taken it in to his head, for some cause or other, that the old Governor had offended him, swore he Would send him a challenge ! " It will be no use," said the Go vernor, for, if you do, I'll pay no attention to it I won't fight you." " Then," said the enraged youth, "I'll publish you to the world as a coward!" "If you do," rejoined the Governor, "you will only publish yourself as an infernal liar ; for nobody will believe you." Loco' Foco Convention in. this City, by Mr. Doug las, of Illinois. He told bis Loco Foco brethren to. " charge .sharge, CHARGE upon the Whigs. , Not to allow the Whigs to got them so that they would bave to act on the defensive ; and hence, the "Standard" takes no time to prove its own assertions, or disprove the charges of its adversaries, but con cocts and fulminates issues and charges as false and dangerous, as the doctrines of its party are unprin-' cipled and ruinous, j But we are determined that the People shall be told of the unsoundness and inconsistencies "of the measures and the men of the Loco Foco parly. We charge, and liereproee, that Gen. Cass n-as a Wilmot Provisoite, open and avowed, until the Presidential Chair began to loom up-before his ambitious vision ; and thpt no proof -ca'n le found that he is the friend of the South on thequestion of Slavery!- It is true, on the 1st of March, 1S47; he declared his intention to vote against the Wilmot Proviso, but he took care not to utter a single word of condemnation to the principle involved therein. But, in order that we may not do Gen. Cass injustice, we quote from " Blair and Rives' Congressional Globe," as follows : Extract from the Speech of MR. CASS, in Senate March 1st, 1847, on the Three Million Bill. I shall vote against this proviso because, 1st. The present is no proper tinrrtor the intro duction, into the country and into Congress, of an excijtiug topic, tending to divide us, when our united exertions are necessary to prosecute the existing war. 2d. It will be quite In season to provide for the government of territory, not yet acquired from for eign countries, after we shall have obtained it. 3d. The proviso can only apply to British and Mexican territories, as there are no others cotermin ous to us. 4th Legislation now would be wholly inoperative, because no territory, hereafter to bejacquired, can be governed without an act of Congress providing for its government 5th. There is great reason to think, that the adop tion of this proviso would, in all probability, bring the war to an untimely issue, by the effect it weuld have on future operations. 6th. Its passage would certainly prevent the acqui sition of one foot of territory ; thus defeating a meas ure called for by a vast majority of the American people, and defeating it too, by the very act purport ing to establish a partial basis for its government. Can the Editor of the Standard"' finTanylnTng in the above extract, by which he can make it appear, that Gen. Cass was opposed to the principle of the Wilmot Proviso? No! He opposes it simply "on the ground, that " the present is no proper time for its introduction." But if Gen. Cass is, and has al ways been with the South on thi3 question, why was it that his coarse on March 1, 1847, created so much excitement and surprise? Let us to the record again. Frem the same authority quoted above, we learn that 'Mr. Miller, of New Jersey, rose to reply to Gen. C, and expressed his great surprise at the position he had just assumed. Said Mr. Miller : " At the last session, when a bill similar to the one now under consideration was before the Senate, it was generally understood here that the Senator was in favor of retaining in that bill, the " Wilmot Pro viso" the same as that now offered by the Senator from Vermont, (Mr. Upham.) It is true that for want of time the Senator had not then an opportu nity to give his vote ; yet his opinions were uncis- THE PROSPERITY OF OUR COUNTRY. Gov. Morehead, upon assuming the Chair at the late National Whig Convention, addressed -these noble and patriotic words of counsel to his fellow- Whigs: " Let us fiave inscribed upon our banner the prosperity of pur country"! Yes, let such be our watchword in the ensuing campaign. We are charg ed with having po avowed principles. The accusa tion is too pitiful to be noticed..! ButPthisis no time to contend for the mere ascendancy of party favor ites let us for the present merge our entire politi cal creed in that one grand consideration, the prosperity of our country." Let us strive to rescue the administration of the Government from the hands of misrule and corruption to, restore to the Consti tution its violated rights, and thus, in the language of that sacred instrument, " secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" to manifest our gratitude for gallant and glorious service to consign to a merited oblivion those men, pampered with place and power, who have persecuted and in sulted the, great Defenders of the Nation. "The prosperity of our country !" what more magic de vice could be emblazoned on our standard sheet ? Like the Labarum of Constantine, it will-predict certain success wherever it is borne. Rally, then, People of North Carolina, around such a centre; none, not even the most timid can despair.

The position of the Senator upon this great question was not only un derstood here, but uis friends throughout the North uelx him up as one of the great CHAairi- ONS OF nUMAN LIBERTY ; AS THE UN COMPROMISING OPPONENT OF THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY INTO TER RITORIES WHERE IT DID NOT EXIST. Ill addition to this, the Senator had at this very session presented to the Senate the resolutions of the State of Michi gan, in which it is declared "that in the acquisition of any new territory, whether by purchase, conquest, .L " J . .1 1 n . r-t . or oinerwiEe, we ueem 11 ine amy oi tne ijenerai Government to extend over the same the Ordinance of 1787, with ail its rights and privileges, conditions and immunities." " At the time when the Senator presented that resolution, he said nothing to indicate that he had in any way changed his opinion upon this important sub ject, and he (Mr. M.) took it for granted that he would sustain tne opinions of his own Democratic Legislature seeing that they accorded so fully with those which the Senator had, before then, expressed for nimselL I be reasons assigned by the Senator for his vote now are, that we are in war, and that the proviso, if adopted, would prevent the'acquisition of any "territory. Both these reasons existed at the last session ; the former with greater force than now, for at that time we did not know the object of the Executive in making and carrying on the war against Mexico. They are now avowed, and we all under stand his object to be the acquisition of Mexican ter ritory, to be annexed to the Union. Do not the remarks of the Senator from New J er sey prove beyond doubt or controversy,, that Gen. Cass had always been a Wilmot Provisoite ? Were not theremarks of Mr. Miller true ? Most unques tionably they were, or the General would certainly have corrected him ! Ah! but says the "Standard," "a change has ta ken place in his sentiments on this question." 'He says in his Letter to Mr. Nicholson, that there had been a change in public opinion, upon this subject. Well, if Gen. Cass is to change with public opinion, how long may we calculate that he will hold his pres ent attitude on this question ? When the hour of tri al comes, hercill desert the SouA, and join league with 'the Abolitionists and Anti-Slavery Provisoists of the North ! Mark the prediction ! A two-faced, double-dealing man qf any sort, is not to be trusted ' least of all, a Janus-faced Politician! We ask the People of the South, then, if it is not safer to trust Gen. Tiywa, a Southern man and a Slaveholder, than Gen. Cass, .who, until he felt he might possibly need the help of Southern votes, was an acknowledged opponent of their institutions ? Let them ponder wellon these facts for facts, in deed, they are, and decide before they are betrayed by their own votes, into the hands of a dissimulating and "equivocating betrayer of their rights !" Adjutant GeneruVs Office. V Washington, March 27, 18,47. ) Extracts from the Act approved March 3, 1847, in reference to the acceptance of such of the volunteers now with the army in Mexico, as may, on the expi ration of their present term, voluntarily engage to re-enter the. service, for the period of during the war. " Sec. 3. And be it furtlier enacted, That the Pres ident be, and he is hereby, authorized to accept the services of such of the volunteers now in Mexico as, ia his opinion, the state of the public service, may require, and who may, at the termination of the present term, voluntarily engage to serve durin" the war with Mexico; and to organize the same into companies, battalions, and regiments, agreea bly to existing laws; and to commission the officers for the same. in conformity with the law, the president directs that the. volunteers in Mexico be received into the service of the United States "for "during the war," should they desire ; The Captain and Subalterns will -be chosen by tje men of the sevoral companies, and will be com missioned by the President accordingly ; but in the meantime, the .company officers will at once enter upon their duties on the authority of.the officers who may forward the evidence of their election. It is made the duty of the several Brigadier Generals of volunteers, or such officers as they may designate for that purpose, to superintend and hold the elections of the company officers. Thc field officers will be appointed by the Presi dent ; and as it is highly essential to the public in terest that none but active, efficient officers of every grade should receive commissions, the President in vites tne recommendations of the several General Officers of the volunteers serving in the field : and also an expression of the preference of the officers and men, who may compose each battalion or regi ment. All vacancies will be filled by the President, on satisfactory recommendations forwarded from the Army- In the execution of the provisions of this order, the public interest will not admit of any delay : and all officers on whom this duty may devolve are re quired to iorward tneir reports without loss of time, to enable the President to make the appointments' and to complete the re-organization of the volunteer forces according to law.

President Polk will allow them to elect Captains and Lieutenants, but takes to himself the selection of Colonels and Majors; and North Carojna Locofocoism says "well done." But when oar General Assembly in conformity with long usage and from the pressure of circumstances directs that the Governor shall appoint the Field Officers of a Regiment whose companies haves never been togeth er, and are in a great measure strangers to each oth er, tliis council of sages, denounce it, as an invasion of the rights of freemen. Out on such pattering and puerility. LATEST FROM MEXICO. We have received by the New Orleans Picayune, Extra, of the 15th inst. the intelligence from Mexico, brought by the Steamship Portland. Lieut. Gardiner came passenger, bearer bf des patches, and of the ratified . Treaty. Some 400 Troops also came over on the Portland; and large -aumVers had left Mexico and were about leaving for the United States. The U. S. Commissioners, Messrs. Sevier and Clif ford, were expected in the city of Mexico on the 3d inst. Mr Sevier returns home with Gen. Butler. This arrival brings bad news from Yucatan. Thousands upon thousands of the Whites are being butchered up by the savages. The Correspondent of the " Picayune" says. The. town-of Yzamal, about fifteen" leagues from Merida, has lately been taken, and it is supposed that many Hundred lives were lost. In one day, about a iortnignt before tne taking of Yzamal. ii,uuu per sons, mostly women and children, entered, fugitives from their dwellings, into the city of Merida, saving out tneir lives for a snort time. All accounts. and letters from highly respectable parties, which I re ceived during these, days, coincided in the opinion that without prompt aid fron the United States, the whites will be obliged to abandon even the few strongholds in consequence of the want of provisions wnicn tne poor people were obliged to leave behind - Majat General Butler has issued his Orders to the Army under his command, that the War is end ed, and ordering the evacuation of the country. WHIG RESPONSES. We could not begin to give the hundredth part of an idea of the enthusiasm and joy Vfhich hails tlje nomination of the late Whig Convention, if our pa per was-double its present size. Every day convin ces us mere and more that Taylor and Filljkore Will be elected by a majority even exceeding that of Gen. Harrison; A tremendous ratification meet ing was held in Richmond (Va.) last weekj from which we are led to believe that even the old Do minion' the mother of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Clay and Taylor, will in No vember relent her false position, and take the stand which all of these her distinguished sons Would now occupy, we -verily believe, if they were" living, viz : in the rank of the great Whig party. John Kerr, Esq., of .this State, we observe was present at-the meeting in Richmond, and according to the " Times," succeeded in an eloquent and sarcastic speech, chief ly devoted to Gen. Cass's calumny upon the Whig party in his letter accepting the Baltimore nomina tion ; where he makes the unwarrantable charge that the Whig party denies the principle of self-government. A VOICE FROM FANUEIL HALL ! The Grand Ratification Meeting in the Old Cra dle of Liberty, Boston, Was worthy of the best days of that time honored .sanctuary. The " Atlas" says : Never have we witnessed so large and overwhelming an assemblage never have we seen a more enthu siastic, a more glorious, a more patriotic gathering of the whole-souled Whigs of Boston, than that which met last night in Faneuil Hall, to respond with aloud and heartfelt acclaim to the nomination of Taylor and Fillmore. We have witnessed many a mighty gathering within her hallowed wall3. .We have seen .assem blages. which we never expected to see equalled, or even approached' in enthusiasm and zeal, still less ever to be exceeded. But the' Ratification meeting of last evening, very , far surpasses anything we ever knew before, "Words are inadequate to describe language cannot do justice to the enthusiastic,'over flowing.and pervading devotion. To the cause, of the mighty multitude that sought, many thousands of them unable to find, room within its capacious walls. It was by far the largest and most spirited assemblage that has been known, since Fanueil Hall has gath ered her son3 Within, her sacred walls. The meeting was called at eight o'clock, tut long before that time the People began to pour into the Hall in vast numbers, and when the time for the assembly to organize came, both floor and galleries were as closely packed as was possible. Hundreds, and even thousands, sought in vain for admission, and had Fanueil Hall been three times as capacious, it could hardly have held them all. Cheer upon cheer given, in the heartiest and most enthusiastic manner, made old Fanueil Hall ring again. We have not witnessed such enthusiasm WHAT ARE WHIG- PRINCIPLES ? This question, which is often asked by the Loco- foco party, was well and pointedly answered in Washington, by Governor Gayle, of Alabama, who, having just arrived from the Philadelphia Conven tion, -was addressing the people in front of Barn urn's hotel, when he was rudely interrupted by a Locofo co worthy present, who requested to be informed, " What are the political principles of the Whig par ty !" to which Gov, Gayle promptly replied: w I will answer my democratic friend with pleasure Let him take his pencil and write down the princi pies upon which the democratic .party act not those which they profess and the very reverse of all those, are the' principles of the Whig party." This an swer was so perfectly satisfactory to the "gentleman, that he did not feel disposed to ask any further ques tions, and sloped. The Governor's reply was re ceived by the audience as an admirable compendi um pWVhig principles, and was responded to with rounds of applause. . CONFIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE. ' The Senate has confirmed the nomination of the Hon Isaac Toucey as Attorney General of the Uni ted States vice Nathan Clifford, resigned. The Senaflf hijs also confirmed the nomination of the Hon. Arthur P. Bag by,' as Envoy extraordinary anJ'Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Rus sia. JTheppoiatment of Calvin M. Ingersoll, of Connecticut, as Secretary of Legation to ihe Rus sian mission, was also confirmed. since 1840, and never, even then, did we see it equalled. It was, indeed, a most glorious and soul stirring occasion one long to be remembered, tui one thaitiiJie to"t,e iet tocreate arespofl sive eoco throughout our whole Common WjJA' NEW ORLEANS. The news of old Zac's nomination created a great stir in Crescent City. The "New Orleans Bee," after crowing lustily over the nomination, remarks : Wc never saw a better pleased set of people than Tin rr 1 . n are the vvnigs at tnis time, ine nomination oi Old Zach has given them such substantial assuran ces of triumph, that they regard the battle as already won. The Locofocos affect to look perlectly - indif ferent upon the subject, but they are secretly chag rined at the result, and their depressed visages indicate the extremity of their apprehensions. They look as if the 7th of November was already at hand, and their sentence about being put in execu tion. They may comfort themselves, however, yet awhile they have a respite of nearly five months before them. They should put that interval to pro fit, and repent them of their manifold sins. The following, GEN. TAYLOR IN MISSOURI. from an esteemed Correspondent at St. Louis, gives reason to hope thaeven Mr. Ben ton's State is about to be carried away in the -popular enthusiasm which pervades the land for old " Rough and Ready" : St. Louis, Mo., June 10, 18-18. The news came yesterday on the wings of light ning, that Taylor and Fillmore were the nominees of the Nat ional Whig Convention ; and I cannot re frain from congratulating you, and the honest people of good old North Carolina, on this most happy, and I believe, successful nomination. The announce ment produced great enthusiasm here such con gratulations, hearty cheering, and shaking of hands, you never did see. To-night we have a grand Rat ification meetiug, when thousands of our citizens will mingle together to do honor to the old Hero, who has already shed so much renown and lustre on the nation, and whose only ambition is to serve his coun try faithfully. Gen. Taylor is the man for the ..West for the whole nation. . Stainless and spotless, both politically and morally, he has been first in the hearts of his countrymen in war he, will be first in peace. He is also " right side up" on all the im portant questions affecting the progressive interests of this mighty valley, and will be found " right side up, with care," on every measure involviug the hon or, dignity .and prosperity of the whole Union. Let us then give one loud and long shout forold Zach and our country. Let the echo come and go from sea shore to mountain-top let it be heard from East to West, North to South, that he is honest, capable, brave, incorruptible the man for the times and the People. Let it be known that he has been a Patriot, Republican Soldier, from youth to old age that he has never cringed to petty tyrants at home, of play ed the sycophant at Courts of Kings and Emperors abroad. Let our motto be Gen. Taylor never surrenders V For the latest and most finished specimen of disgusting nonsense, we refer " all the decency" to an article in the last "Standard," entitled "Whig Principles." for the register.
