One of the verv shabbiest tricks of which the Locofoco party of North Carolina hav ever been guilty is their attack upon the State Constitution to which all pood citizens look as the bond of their union and the ark ofvJtheir safety. When Sam Houston, the ereat Texan squatter, whose bump of reverence for the laws of - meum and tu- um is so Doorlv developed, came amongst them as political missionary, we predicted that he would leave the trail of the serpent behind, hioi. It is even so. The first !Asrrarian demonstration is made against the mode prescribed by the Consti tution lor the election of. State aenators.

He said he felt overwhelm ed at meeting the Whigs of Boston in Faneuil Hall the old Cradle of Liberty. I feel so because I am no speech maker by profession.

I heard the cry n every street, . nih to tha Yankees.1 And I am now gratified atlhU opporttjalty tovjsjtlliem, and hope wheal re-, turn home to be able to remove some of the prejudices against them. - But I suppose you expect to hear from me some thing about old Don Zach Taylor. I happen to know something about him. and knew his father be fore him old Col. Richard Taylor. A better man never lived, and a better man will never die. Zach ary was born in old Virginia, in the same county which threw out my stock the best place in the world to be boru in,t providing you leave it early. (Great laughter.) Zachary was a promising boy, and left when he was only niue months old, (renewed merriment,) and was taken to old Kentucky, the best place on the face of the earth to be raised.. He grew up on her generous soil, which has rarely if ever giv en birth to a coward or a traitor. j Major Gaines thefiDriefly followed Genertf Tayfbr, in his history, from bis first appointment as Lieuten ant by Jefferson in 1808, down to the ever-memorable battle of Buena Vista, where his few men, undi sciplined troops, pot to the route Santa Anna's legious, and achieved a victory, unrivalled in the an nals of our country's history. He never fought where' be was not successful, and never will. 'f$ ' The charge has been made that GenT Taylor is a profane man. I have known him long and intimate ly.'l! have dwelt in his tent and entertained him in mine, and I never heard him use an oath. He told me he came near to it once, al the battle of. With lacooehie, in Florida. The Missouri regiment were found ieaviug the field a little too early. The Gen eral came up and asked them whtre they were go- mg " l hey replied , tnaiuiey naa oeen oraerea o " retreat." " You lleiyots scoundrels," answered the Geueral, " and, said be, believe I cursed them. It haa been said that General Taylor is not quali fied for the responsibilities of the office for which he haa been nominated, out in his whole life, and more especially in the trying circamstances in which the Administration has , placea nun, itt Mexico, he has shown that he dosssms, to an eminent degree, all . .

When in the array, he far ed just as his soldiers fared- eat the same, food slept under his tent, and underwent similar fatigue for 15 months, in Mexico, never sleeping in a house one night. His humanity, kindness, and sim plicity of charact er, had won for him the loveof bis soldiers. He never keeps a guard arouod, taaX, OJblMnrpOmp or parade.

No one tnad"a f more avourable v jmpressloo upon tfie crowds assembled in Philadelphia! 'than the gallant Colonel Hakell of Tennessee,, the same who, was forced, by Pillow's bungling genf eralship, to assault; with his single regiment.; the works which Santa Attna had constructed to repel the whole Anielican .army at Cerro Gordo, (for the JMexicaaomniahder,did.not dfearn ;that the hill which Harney stoftned could be taken.) - At the Salification Meeting.ip" Independence Cquare, the gallant Colonel, amongst otherthings that were received ,with Vociferous applause, rela led-a little adventure . of his "wn. which 'gave pe- Suliar delight lo an immense audnce.We can storyteller never fails to garnish his tale, bat can crira the trirft of it. i Colottel H i tt appears, enlisted as a pritaUf soy dier in bts tegiment, and as such marcnea wun u to Point Isabel or the Urasos. w nen a ooy ne had fought as nrivate in the .

After the regiment had landed, ana wnue ne was cAt nrivate. he was seized with a desire to see the famous-old General, who had trained so much J distinction for the battles of Palo Alto and lies? ca'de la Palma. He accordingly set out for JUat- amoras. - The rainy season had commenced, and the Rio Grande had overflowed rmich of the coun try through which he passed. The battle-fields were submerged hy water, ana it; many pieces he was obliged to swim. vAt lengtn ne reacnea Matamofae, covered: with mud, and as dirty as it was noasible for a man to be in Mexico, and he said nobody bad.any idea hotir dirty a man could b&till he had been in Mexico.

The bftTcer havinjr been dismissed, Col. tfwent boldly to the tent, atul a-aiHig ih tuin armer likeccuoant. informed him that he was a private in the Tennessee regiment, that he had come to see how General Taylor looked, and to Know what he-talk'ld about, where he lived when he was at home, and what tcere his politics. The general,-said Colonel H., answered all his ques tions verV politely, until he came to the politics, and then remarked that uemg an omcer oi me army he had been in the habit, of refusing to say anything about riis politics ; but, he said, " I will tell you what lam: I AM A WHIG, AJND A QUARTER OVER !" - When Col. Haskell uttered these words, Inde pendence Square runjr with cheers'upon cheers that seemed as if they would never cease.Yes, proceeded the Colonel, at length, u hereafter, if anybody question the whiggery of Zachary Tay lor, tell him that you heard Haskell, of lennes see declare, on his honor as a gentleman, here in the city of Philadelphia, in Independence Square that Gen. Taylor told him, when he visiteiLhis lent as a private soldier, that he was' A WHIG AND A QUARTER OVER !' And from that moment.' added Col. Haskell, I became a Tay lor MAN, AND A QRARTR OVER." Another anecdote told by Col. Haskell toillus trate the virtuous simplicity and kind-heartedness of Gen. Taylor, deserves to be recorded. v On one occasion, Gen. Taylor was descending the Rio Grande, on a small steamboat, with a larare number of discharged sick soldiers on board The boat being very crowded, these poor fellows had been very uncomfortably stowed away on the deck, as the lowest part of a western steamboat is termed. As 60on as Gen. Taylor assertained their condition, he ordered his officers, &c out of the cabin, and had the sick men all transfered to their places.

The " Asheborough Herald" has a decided hit against the inconsistency of the prating of Mr, Keid and Ijoco Focoism in general in relation to the Ke-distincting liill. When this bill was before the tesislature, and even after its' final passage, the self styled Dem ocrats condemned it in the stohgest terms, and pledge themselves to repeal it whenever they should obtain the ascendency. They charged, without truthLto sustain the assertion, that the Whigs-, had never, xnadof an. issue on the subject, and that .it was an after thought" with iherai : in short, that they carried this tneasnre without any consuUatfbn with their constituents. Well, will the Democrats bring this subject be. fore the people in the present contest 1 Will their candidates tell the people that they will re peal this bill and that they will restore the bill of 842-'43! Will they tell the people that the Whigs have violated the constitution, and then promise to do the same thins themsehes ? MICHIGAN COMING ! The Home of Lewis Cass welcomes Taylors Nonin aon.

We give the nomination our most unqualified and .hearty con currence, as we believe the whole nation will do in November next. Right heartily, then,- do we ac cept this nomination, and send it forth to the Whigs of our State, as one that will not fail to meet their hearty commendation. The name of Taylor has al ready become a household word throughout the land and we shall find his warm supporters rushing forth from every log-cabin in tbe count ry. We are, then, enlisted for this campaign, which, for .the 'Whigs, is destined to be one more brilliant than has ever been linown in the United States." 0" We received yesterday says the . Boston Atlas," a letter from a staunch Whig, in one of the largest towns in Maine, upon business. Its posts cript is significant of the feeling among the people in thaf State. Nor was this letter from the Eas tern part, where Taylorism is the strongest It was from a section where it was most opposed and re sisted by the.leading and: influential members of the State: E. S.-i-The nomination of Old Zaek is well re ceived here, notwithstanding the efforts of the Whig paper in this town. He will not lose a single Whig Tots but will gain a good many from the other party. The Loco Focos are sadly1 disappointed they 'expected-a different result. They hoped Mr. Clay would be the man, because they felt sure of defeating hinrrand they know now they; are destined to an overwhelming defeat With . proper efforts, Maine can be carried for the old Hero. .

We were necessarily compelled; in our last, to be stump-speaker th very brief in the notice of the meeting of this Club on Thursday night last.

His, indeed, were "thoughts that breathed and words that burned,3 giving glow, and life and animation to all around. There are few men who can speak like John Kerr ; and on this occasion he seemed even to excel himself. It was fraught with the most soul-stirring eloquence, beauty of figure and keen irony his sarcastic blade being so wrapt in the roses of rhetorical beauty, that it pierced with out imparting pain to the subject he was dissecting. His tribute.to the character of GejL Taylor, was indeed Sublime ; and after enumerating the many elorious qualities that prompt the generous actions of his heart and adorn his life, the emphatic declara tion that u such a man must needs W a Whtg P7 was received with thunders of applause. ', It did the heart good to hear the accomplished Speaker tell of the triumphant vindication of Gen. Taylor and his character, with his own trusty blade and pen as well before the embattled host of Santa Anna as the per secution of his enemies at hom(5 James K. Polk, Se cretary Marcy, Lewis Cass, et id omne genus. The remarks of Mr. Kerr, upon the fitness and claims ofLrwjs Cass for the Presidency, were scorching and withering, and we doubt not many an honest Democrat left that meeting, honestly convinced that the nominee of his party was not half the man that the "Standard" had represented him to be. He in vited all who wished to see our Government brought back to its original simplicity and purity, to rally under the banner of glorious old Zack, and help to rawe to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, a se cond Washingtom ( We have rarely, if ever, heard this effort of Mr. Kerr's excelled. Mr. Miller, who succeeded Mr. Kdealt more in the solids he went to the "law and to the testimo ny" and by reference to the Journals of Congress, which he held in his hand, he convicted Mr. Cass of being diametrically opposed to the "PJatform of Principles," as laid down by the Baltimore Conven tion for the government of the party. He showed that Mr. Cass was a Wilmot Provisoite and in fa vor of abolishing Slavery in the District of Colum bia. He farther showed that Gen. Cass was In fa- vor of carrying on Internal Improvement by the General Government a doctrine held in utter ab horrence by the Loco Foco Baltimore Convention. If they have these principles then, said Mr. Mil ler, who is to carry them out 7 (Jen. Cass' votes show that he is opposed to them, and yet he is put forward as their champion ! Beautiful consistency The ponderous battle-axe of Mr. Miller, in his Liisvwioi viuibssj nut icji puweriuity in iuu .dis trict ; and if his opponent can gainsay the - ar ray of facts and figures which the searching and en quiring talent of Henry W. Miller, never fails to discover, then, indeed, will we begin to believe that the " Standard" has some grounds for saying he will " find himself overmatched." But it is said " fig ures never lie," nor does the record, either and Mr. BusBEEmay well give up in despair rather than attempt to controvert suet irrefragable testimony as they contain. i The Club adjourned in the highest spirits, no ap pearance of " sickliness" being visible except in the faces of some few incorrigible Loco Fv 0003 who depar ted with & rueful countenance" "' P;&.
