But as we believe both Clubs have been .misrepresented by the " Standard," in relation io the whole transaction, we feel called on to set the matter right, and giye a just and correct narrative of the subject : ; - i In pursuance to instructions given by the f Cass & Butler Club," at a meeting on the 19th inst. the President of that Association addressed to the Presi identof the.H-Rftttgh and Ready Club," the follow ing Communication; Raieigh, Angust 22, 184S. Mr Dear Sib: The Cass and Butler Club of this City have instructed me to ask that you, as the organ of the Rough and Ready Club, will unite with me in addressing a communication to Gen. Taylor to obtain his sentiments and opinions on the two lead ing questions which-now divide the people of this country. . - First. Astothewar Usjustice, propriety -both in its commencemeut and prosecution. Second. As to the Wilmot Proviso whether he is in favor of incorporating it into bills for the estab lishment of Territorial Governments. It' it should bejin accordance with the views of the Rough and Ready Club that yen should thus unite with me, I shall be happy at sucb iiiae ns i may suit your convenience to have your assistance in address ing the necassary communication.

The councils of the latter prevailed, and the foregoing letter" was sent the President of the 4 Cass & Butler Club i'Vand the effect whicl it produced upon their meeting of the 26th ult. caxi very well be imagined from the lame, one-sided Edi torial of the "Standard" in relation to it. When the H Correspondcnce,, was laid before: the " Cass & Butler Clubj" on Saturday night last, tle u Standard" informs us that it waa,ably comment ed upon" by Mr. McRae. We do not know which letter was so "ably commented vpon," whether that Of the Cassites or that from the " Rough, and Ready Club j" but we are informed by gentlemen who were present, that the effort of the President of the "Casa &. Butler Club," was labored and lame. The Standard" says " he was followed by Mr. Busbee, who spoke in strains of indignant eloquence upon the extraordinary position here assumed by the Whig party in this City." Mr. Busbee grow ing indignant I" At what ? ' That, because he mov ed the address, of such a letter to the' Roueh and Ready Club," they ha4 dared to give Lima response j in return, that can not easily be forgotten ! - Mr i Busbee "indignant" that the Wh its ha A aartea ' enough to see the shallow artifice with which the Locofocos hoped to gull thorn into a false position by an acknowledgment, (which conjunction with the Loco Focos for the purposes avowed in their letter would have amounted to) that they did not know, or were not satisfied with Gen.

But has it been taken up ? Let the sequel show. A week, or perhaps more, after this letter had been, received, the Democrats held a mass meet iag. Did they invite the Whigs to meet them for a public discussion? 'Not they! If they were so anx ious for a public controversy, why did they not on this occasion, when the whole matter was in their own hands, challenge the Whigs to a discussion ? The truth is, they knew if they did that they would be met, and their garae of brag and banter would be eifectually blocked. T!ese are the facts in the caso, find we charge the "Standard" withsnppressicg the truth, in it3 garbled and unfair representation cf the transaction, as given in his last paper.

"VVe therefore decline your request to unite with you in enquiring into his views on the particular ques I tions you suggest Neither Washington, nor Ad am?, nor Jefferson, nor Madison, nor Monroe, was ever catechized by clubs or conventions.

If, indeed, you had stated that, should Gen. Taylor, in his answer to these inquiries, show that his opinions accorded with yours, you would support him 1 for the Presidency, then your request would have some plausible foundation, and we might have given it a more favorable considera tion. You have not avowed this object, and we have no reason to presume it If, on the other hand, your object "was to draw from Gen. Taylor an answer, which, by any sort of distortion or ingenuity, could be converted to his prejudice, then we ask you, your selves honorable men, wnat kind or a response, a question propounded to any honorable gentleman in private life, with such a covert or avowed purpose, -would inevitably provose f w e must decline an as sociation in an inquiry so proposed, but at the same time, we feel perfectly sure that, if under such cir cumstances, Gen. Taylor would answer,the inquiries, the purpose would not be accomplished. We will, however, out of respect to you. give oth er reasons. What you request us to join in asking is, what are the General's views as to the justice of the Mexican war, the mode of its prosecution, &c. Peace having been concluded: with. Mexico, we think the question of the justice of the war, rests entirely between the Executive of the United States, who i commenced it, and the people who are to pass upon the acts of his administration. 1 he War belongs to past events and we. should no sooner ask what uea Taylor thought in the abstract upon its justice, than inquire what his opinions were as to the conquests of Alexander, the dismemberment of Poland, or the forcible acquisitions of the British in the East Indi es, or auv other matters of historical fact. As to the prosecution of the war the same remark applies. It is now a part of the history of the country, and the Cass and Butler Club must surely have heard of the part Gen. Taylor performed, of the brilliant victo ries of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey and Buena Vista, which covered our country with such Then we are asked to join you in requesting Gen. Taylor's opinions upon the Wilmot Proviso. You do not. say in what respect you desire information on THE SIERRA MADRE. PROJECT! The popular indignation throughout the country is becoming fully aroused against this nefarious design of dismembering Mexico for the establishment of a new Republic. It is certainly one of the most reck less enterprizes eter Jevised by man. After the ter mination of a most calamitous war, and the cession of a great portion of her original territory, Mexico might justly expect to remain unmolested for a sea fn i.Ve tnat it; 19 tne bounden duty of the American Government iu consideration of its sol emnjaith plighted to Mexico in the late Treaty, and in view of ihe requisitions of . the international code te exercise the utmost vigilance to prevent any movement of the kind on the part of our citizens.-" Heaven inows the reputation of our Country, has alreadysuffered enough 'without having iVfarther egpajrded by ik pjpetrafion, on the part f any of our people, ot so outrageous and enormous a crimes There is every reason, nevertheless, to believe that the President and his advisers, yielding to the same wild and reckless spirit of conquest that has marked their administration from the first day they assumed the reins of Government, have connived at, if they have not directly and explicitly aided this new scheme of conquest and annexation. The fol lowing article which we clip from the "New Or leans National," affords the grounds for such an accusation. ite, what his views are thereupon, rather than Gen. Taylor, who is a Southern man by. birth, interest, and feeling? Perhaps the. "noise and confusion" which prevailed at.'Cleaveland has subsided, and he may be able, now, to make himself understood ; or, perhaps he may be of the opinion that his mind is undergoing another change, and think quite differ ently to what he did a few months back ? No where can it be found that Gen. Cass has said he is with the South on this question ; and we defy any of his friends to show where he has ever said that he would veto the Wilmot Proviso. We close with the sim ple remark, that no tricks of designing, enemies can ever betray Gen. Taylor or his friends into a false position before the American People. We call upon the Register to prove that any De ca- the Hero of Orleans ; a man who, but1 for bis mili tary exploits, would no more have ever been thought of for President of the United States, than the Editor of the "Standaad" himself. Mr. Ritchie pronounc ed him unfit for civil trust, but the People endowed him with it, and he was pronounced one of the best Presidents we ever had. . The second position taken by the "Standard," intimates, that the people are ignorant of the views and principles of Gen. Taylor. It is not so. The people, and more particularly that portion of them who intend to give him their suffrages, know, and are perfectly satisfied with Gen. Taylors political views, as given in his Allison letter. It is said that "no one is half so blind, as he that will not see j" and IP the Editor of the C! Standard" and Loco Foco politi cians, do not know what his opinions are in relation to National politics, it is because they are determin ed not to know. But in the third and last position taken by the " Standard," we have the cream of the, whole matter. The Editor does not dare say, that if such a letter as that proposed had been sent to Gen. Taylor, and the views given by him in reply, been precisely such as accorded with theirs,- that they would have given him their support. On the contrary, we understand that it was boldly . asserted iu the Cass and Butler Club, on Saturday night last, that u the Whigs had nqright to suppose t hat Tnr.y would support Gen. Tay lor, no matter what his opinions were " Why inter rogate him, then, if it be not for the reason, as charg ed, that by "any sort of distortion or ingenui ty," they might convert the old Hero's answer to his "prejudice?". This is (he truth of the matter. Had Gen. Taylor been Written toand had he re ikis. subject-, whether as to the constitutionality of plied even in the language Of Cass himself, the in- fe' 'Mbe "gas of such a provision in a law relating to territories, or aa to its expediency. As to the first, the constitu tionality of, the law, we presume you cannot now be very anxious about lien. 1 aylors opinion, since your leading Southern Senators in Congress, Houston, Benton, and the President, the head of your party, have upon their oaths declared such a proviso con stitutional the former by voting for, and the latter by approving the bill for the government of the Or egon Territory, in which the Wilmot Proviso was expressly and deliberately inserted. As to tno ex pediency of the proviso in relation-to California and New Mexico, we have no reason to doubt that Gen. Taylor will do every ifhing in his power to protect the rights and interests of the South. We have thus respectfully, as -we trust, answered your communication, perhaps more at length than we thought necessary, but our answer is drawn so as to prevent any -misapprehension of our motives for declining your request. We would, with great respect, suggest that this, the second communication from your Club to ours, should be the last We can perceive no good to arise to either party from the repetition of such com-, municationa. . We think we can conduct our canvass without any aid from you, and we certainly haveno disposition to interfere with your appropriate func tions. - -. ' . , Very respectfully, I remain Your bt. svt. GEO. W, HAYWOOD, Pres't Rough and Ready Club. ToD.ICMcRAS,Esi. When theletter of Mr. McRae was fix6t read before the "'Rough and Ready Clubj" so indignant . 'were many of its members at what they conceived to be an impertinent interference: with their proceedings, that they were in favor of returning it unanswered, and thus treating it with that silent contempt which they considered it-deserved. Others there were, who looked upon it as too gross an outrage upon propri- ventive genius of LocoFocoisra would have been put upon the rack, to M distort his language and convert his answer to his prejudice! This was as good as admitted in their Club : becausethey asserted that t -- jl ,. . ' . I' ve had no right to "suppose' that they were njt acting in good faith with us, nor had we any right to "suppose" that they would support Gen.-Taylor under any circumstances f A nice idea, truly, to ask honorable men, to engage in interrogating an honest old Patriot, for the purpose of giving his opponents an opportunity of taking advantage of his manly frankness and honesty, and thereby entrapping him, with the .sophistry of Locu Foco reasoning, info a false position. Shame, sleanle upon such disingenu ous insincerity and hollowrheartedness. In the next to the last paragraph of the "Stand ard's" article upon: this subject, allusion is made to another "respectful letter sent by the Cass and Butler Club to the Rough and Ready Club, " aahort time before the August election." " We thank thee, Jew, for that word" We have for some time wish-, ed to bring this Correspondence ta light also. and we regret exceedingly that the. genlleman in whose possession we learn it. is, is net in the City, and are therefore .suable to procure it foe publication in this paper.' It has been purely out of respect?' to cur opponents, that we baTe not before done so : but as the V Standard" has, yri think, wantonly and. pur-: posely suppressed thi material fact in the case, we will here give a correct statement of the matter, as connected with thai Correspondence : The Rough and Ready Club gave notice tbat a Whig Mass Meeting would- be held in this City, on the 1st of August, and that distinguished Whig gentlemen mocrat in North Carolina, or elsewhere, ever lumniated" General T&ylor.-r-Standard. VTo we'theytliatvenr when the thunders Monterey were yet ringing in our ears, and before the thick clouds of smoke, revealing a victorious flag, had fully cleared away, that endeavored to fix a vote of censure, for the terms of a capitulation, upon the Conqueror, merciful in victory as terrible in fight humane as brave and patient as humane ? The word calumny, is comprehensive in acceptation, and we conceive, that everyrattempt to bring merit into discredit, is legitimately included under its de finition. Who, then, were they that would have im peached his sagacity, and irripugned his noble and Christian humanity ? Let Loco Foco Congress-men answer t Who arc they, now that the war is over, and mil lions of freemen are desirous of testifying their ap preciation of the worth and services of the General, who has conducted it with an ability only equalled jy his moderation, that are circulating slanderous rumors against him "attributing to mm sentiments that he never uttered, and conduct of which he was never guiltyT.Vwfe the Curtis Regiment fabrica tion. Aye who are they in North Carolina, that accuse him of having uttered language against our own Regiment,which he solemnly disavows, and which others who' knoV, deny for hira 1 Let Loco Foco partisans answer I What journal is it, which at the same time that it dares jfroof of any Democrat's having calumniated Gen. Taylor, is itself assailing him weekly, in the bitterest and most uncompromising manner possible ? Yes what paper is that, which, in the very issue where so reckless a defiance is made, accuses the old Hero of incompetency for civil ojfice, and'of an ig norance even of his "-mother tongue" speaks of him as a man without principles, andjnsinuates that he (likeMr.'Polk) will betray the interests of those among whom he was born, by sanctioning the Wil mot Proviso?' Let the Editor of the u Standard answer t . And finally who ere they, taking Jtheir past con duct as guarantiesof the f uturethat erejjilhen his heart shall be eloquent with truth and love of coun try, and when his honest zeal shall burn for expres sion, even therty will find the means of misinterpret ing his words Let Loco Foco leaders answer I '- '. " TJ" The general result of the recent election in Illinois is regarded as justifying a very strong con fidence that the Electoral vote of. the State will be given for Gen. Taylor. The St. Louis " Era" says that it is safe for him, "beyond any reasonable con tiogency." V " ' - EF There was a misunderstanding as to the time of the meeting of the "Rough and Ready Club," as agreed upon on Monday cightT The adjournment was until Thursday, the 7th inst, instead of Thurs day last, as "erroneously stated in our Wednesday's Let us have arousing meeting on Thursday "The Washington Union, speaking as if by au thority, solemnly declares that the Government has no information of the projected revolutionary move ment in North Mexico. Mr. Richardson. aVaeraber of CSngress, a supporter and defender of the Admin istration, proclaims from his place in the Hou?e, up on Bis own authority at.d by the authority of Mr. Polk himself, that the Administration has no infor mation with regard to any intended movement on the Sierra Madre country. The memory of Mr. Polk, Mr. Richardson and the Union must be strangely impaired if they have so soon forgotten all Knowledge of this matter.

They forget that this agent, who held a commission in the United States Army, presented informally to the President and members of his Cabinet the plans, purposes, and ends of the ''Buffalo Hunters," and, in their name, asked for men, money, and ammuni tion to aid the revolution in North Mexico. Mr. Polk forgets that he told the special agent that the scheme met his approval, and that he would be happy to see the northern provinces of Mexico dismembered from the Central Government and formed into an in dependent republic, if it could be effected without the direct and formal sanction and co-operation of the United States Government. They forget that the special agent was given to understand that the movement would not, at any rate, meet with any op position from our Government, provided it was so organized and conducted as not to implicate tne Ad ministration, and make it responsible for the viola tion of our new treaty of peace with Mexico. They A foryciAitrt w-dltlBgtttsned General of the United instates army, at that Time in Washington, entertain ed propositions from the special agent, and expressed his readiness to take command of the revolutionary forces, provided the Government would sanction the movement and furnish men, money, and arms. They forget that that general officer actually resigned, or was on the point of resigning, conditionally, his com mission in the army, in anticipation of the Govern ment meeting his views in the premises. They for get that the Administration finally determined to withhold from the contemplated enterprise any as sistance that could directly implicate it in the mat ter, and that the special agent was dissmissed with assurances that the movement should meet no oppo sition if it could receive no support from the Gov ernmeat. They forget that, thereupon, the general officer pocketed his cqjtnmission and went about his business.
