Government the other to extend the permanent

Very one tried o cheat himself: so it was with the

They proceed to "nominate and find a packed mi

Mr. Clayton.resumed. It waa hard to find out
what really were the views of Mr. Cass. He had
voted for Internal Improvements and against all ve
toes. There was a mistification, and, evidently, a
doctrine for the North and a doctrine for the South.
Recently called upon by some of his political friendsl
at Cleveland, for his opinions '6n this subject, what
was Mr. Cass's answer 1 That the "noise and con
fusion" were so great he could not be heard ; though
he ifound opportunity and audience for a detail of
his history in connection with the West. He ex
pected that "noise and confusion" would continue to
the eud of the campaign. Nobody denied that Mr.
Cass cordially approved the Baltimore platform.
One of the resolutions denied the right of Govern
ment to make. Internnl improvements; and by' his
letter of aeceptsncc, Mr, Cass stood bound to vcio
any soch bill.
He had been asked what were Gen. Tayier's sen
timAt an .the Alaaiaani war. Ua had answered for .
himself. He was opposed to.ocqulsition of territory
by conquestin favor of ptace and against war. ,-
It was coarhiined that the Whig party had erec
ted no plafforma. What are these platforms?
What did you do in 1844 ? A resolution was passed
asserting the American title in Oregon to 54 40 to
be " clear and unquestionable." For six months it
was agitajted in Congressthe country was alarmed
our commercial intercourse was disturbed and
your President, who had affirmed over and over
again the doctrine of the platform in his messages,
abandoned the whole territory down to 49. and adop
ted the British line. There was another platform
the Kane .letter. The Democrats of the North be
lieved Mr. Polk to be in favor of the protective pol
icy. They were told so by their leaders. Their
banners bore the inscription 6r Pol k Dallas, and the
Tariff of '42. They called it the Democratic Ta
riff, and claimed the exclusive merit of the bill, and
they succeeded in deceiving the honest people of
Pennsylvania by that unworthy fraud. Lord deliv
er us from any more platforms. He wanted an hon
est man, like Taylor fir President, who would res
tore the government to its ancient integrity.
.'There was one! other .antectt6 which, hejtad-ae
referred the Wilmo provisa. He had no other
idfhrantren-of wfiat wefe t herpart icahuf views if Gen.
Taylor on that subject than was common to tho
country. Though be and his colleague had 'voted for
it under the instruction of their Legislature, they
would never join a sectional or geographical party.
Delaware had been the first to adopt the constitu
tion, and she would be the last to desert it. lie
thought slavery should not go where it had never
existed, andIenied that it was a party or political
question. Whenever the Whigs, would descend so
low as to adopt it for such an end,they Would justly
forfeit the respect of tfie conntry. It was apart from
politics and so ought to be regarded, bo dear was
the Union to be made out of it, he would do aa others
had done before him he would seek an honorable
and patriotic compromise.
In clrtsmg, he referred to the charges of the Lccflr
t ocos in 1940, against Uen. Harrison, or selling
white -men into bondage, and exhibited a law. signed
by Gen. Cass, as Governor of Michigan and as a
member of the Council which passed the law, in which

TO THE PATRONS OF THE RALEIGH
REGISTER.
The melancholy announcement of the sadden and
unexpected demise of the late Editor, the lamented
Father of the undersigned, has already been made.
As some doubts may probably be entertained, with
regard to the course which will be pursued, in the
further prosecution of this Paperlt is proper that
you should be advised on that subject, however dis
qualified we may. feel undeTbe severity of the af
fliction, to address you with any degree of suita
bleness. ". In assuming, as we now do, the supervision of the
Register, we are but fulfilling the oft-expressed de-
th laU-Cuiioit aud'Qi JUli-faLer of the undersign
ed. In 1822, he associated with him his son, Wes
ton R. GaCes, who continued as joint and sole Ed
itor, until the day of his death. Transmitted as it
was from sire to son identified as it has always
been, with the interests and affection of the family,'
the wish has ever been rfulged, that it might be
perpetuated through many generations, nader the
auspices of those lineally descended from its venera
ble founder. Heaven grant us now as peaceful and
successful a prosecution of our duties, as that which
was allotted to those who have gone before us. '
We are conscious that we are not qualified,
either bf capacity or experience, to discharge duly
the responsible dnties of such a eharge. Theerri

Republicanism which were its birt hright, and which
have grown with, its growth and strengthened with
its strength, sinee its first establishment in this Ci

tion-has ever been to sustain the cause of the Peo

bought, though gratefully received support of the
People. If therefore, it has been a faithful sentinel
at its post, if it has pursued with undeviating steps
the good of the Country and the interests of North
Carolina, if it has maintained its ground with inde
pendence, if it has condemned with candor, and ap
plauded with sincerity, if it has been a friend of the
Constitution, and an enemy to usurpation and inhp-

ly, from tie New Orleans "Bulletin," a short artt-j

the accusation. From this, we learned that General J

mutiny that is said to have occurred in the Npcth
Carolina Regiment in August, 1847, that Ihe
Officers' should have been shot, and the Regiment

in NeW Orleans, while a part of our Regimeferwas

until the accusation should come from some respon

proceed to lay it before our readers, as follows :
New Orleans, July 8, 1S48.
Maj. Battle -Pear Sir: I am surprised to find a
disposition among the North Carolina Volunteers,
to complain seriously of Geri. Taylor, who they state,
has spoken very harshly of them on some particular
occasion in Mexico. The expressions attributed to
Gen. Taylor, conflict so palpably with the general
prudence and discretion which niarks"hjs intercourse
with men, and are so unlike him, that I am loth to be
lieve the report. Please let me know such facts as
you may possess? relative to the complaint. Aa you
were Counsel- for ihe defence before the Court of In
quiry, you doubtless have it in your power to throw
all light necessary, ,upon the matter. With many
friendly recollections, I remain. &c.

simply furnishing you with a transcript of that part
of Lieut. Pender's-testimony, as taken before the
Court pf Inquiry which satin Saltillo, in February
and March last, which is, as follows: .(- -
"I afterwards went down to Monterey and made
this statement to Gen. Taylor, .and requested that
we might be permitted,, at least, to have a Court

do with Volunteers, and had never had any.diffieol
ty. with any except the present, (meaning die North
Carolina,) ahd that they had been -nothing W a
source of trouble and aggravation to him. That the
