A gentleman, who was present, in forms us that so telling were his arguments, so convincing his refutation of the attacks' that are daily being made against Gen.

The publication of these remarks is due to Mr. Taxt, not only be-cau-e they refute misrepresentations which have been made concerning them, since their delivery, but also beeause they' administer a t proper castigation to the Editor ofthe "Stand ard"' for the tone of ridicule and arrogance which he has assumed towards Mr. T. Mr. Tant is a mechanic of this City, and a gentleman of capital sense and fine information. . He not on ly has a right'to "sing a AVhig song or make a AV'hig Speech," but h,e has shown upon more tkaa one occasion, that ho is fully able to do ei tker well. There was a very large and enthusias tic meeting of the AA'higs of Elizabeth City, in that place, on the 7th inst. The 401d North State" remarks that the objects for which' the meeting was called, were fully carried out, that there is no disaffection among the AVhigs of Pasquotank, and that they will all be found at their jiosts in November. tktf History records that Gen. Pierce is not the only Hero who has fallen in battle. The fcarne disaster befell General Scott. At the Korming of Fort George, the crumbling battle ments came down upon him and prostrated him. lb - as General Cullom most cogently and tar tingly says, "when down, he did not lie like an old miUen jf f.tuM, but rose like a wounded lien, piorp terrible tharever."

There was another rery numerous and en thusiastic rally of tho Whiga of Raleigh at the Court House, on Tuesday evening last. Tho Club was addressed, during the evening, by Messrs. Raboteac, Gopld, J. F. Taylor and Gales. A fine spirit prevailed, and Solomons' splendid Brass Bund discoursed most delightful harmony. Of the speeches upon tho occasion we may remark, that Mr. Rabotkau's effort was animated and full of the right spirit, Mr. Gould's very effective and well-timed, while Mr. Tay lor literally " brought down the Houso," with his humorous sallies. But the most interesting feature of the meet ing was the reading of the subjoined letter from the Hon. Georc.k K. Badger, in renlv t an invitation to address tho Club. Mr. Badger was prevented, by sickness, from complying with that invitation ; but his able, patriotic and eloquent letter will prevent the possibility 0f an j niisrepresention of JU pinions and poki .n -rt- received Ly Te UIUD wun tne most enthusiastic demonstrations, and elicited, at various stages of its reading, 'the heartiest ap plause. Wc commend it to the study of every Whig, w ho may bo ready to forsake tho princi ples of his party, because of his preferences for particular men : Raleiou, Sept. 21st., 1852. Seaton- Gales, Eso,. Sir: It was inv pur pose, when I returned from Washington," to at tend and address the Club of our City upon the pending Presidential election. Having been prevented, by a cause beyond my control, from doing what I had thus purposed, I deem it pro per, in order to prevent or correct mistake or uiis MAtement respecting my position and views, to submit this communication to you, and to ask that it may be read to the Club. I am a derid'd and very earnest supporter of the Whig National nominations for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency. ' It is known to you, sir, as well as to many others of mv friends, that Gen. Scbtt was not my first choice for the Presidency, that 1 preferred Mr. Fillmore and greatly desired his nomination by the Conven tion. I will add, in all trankness, that, proba bly, no man in the I'nited Stales was more dis appointed, nut to say dissatisfied, thau I was, when that gentleman was passed over. But, what have there preferences, disappoint ments and dissatisfactions to do with the impor tant issue now submitted to the Amerieau peo ple ana oy tueiu soon to be aeeiuea ; 1 he ques tion is not between! Millard Fillmore and Win fieid Scott, but bitwecn Wintield Scutt aud r rankliui Pierce and assuming the superiority, in t.i.t ..t ...... .. i .. . .. i l-v-h-i i.ujuuLjm'na, ui mi. x niuiore over ' Gen. S oil, it bv no means follow tl.nt .!. 1-t. ter is nt immeasurably alxve tiea. 1'ierce iu his claims upon the nation, and especially the Whig party, i or Fillmore-Whigs to retire in gloomy discouteut from the contest, because the Whig of their choice was not selected by the Conven tion, is to give a preference to men over princi ples, to namiovcr things ; for such Whigs to join our opponents and make war upon the nominee of tiie party, is to desert Eiltmore him self, to repudiate the course he recommends and pursues, and to involve themselves in tha pitia ble altsuxdi tj of supporting democratic men and for Whig measures aud for a decided Whig sup jorter of AYhig measures. Is not this m ? Lh us see : Winfield Scott was nomiuatr-d bv a sreneral Convention of Whigs from all the Staf s. That Convention, previous to his nomination, had adopted a set of resolutions embodying the principles of the Whig party. General Scott ha-t accepted both the nomination and the resolutions. To these resolutions no Whig at least no Southern Whig so far as I know, tale any exception. To abandon the nomination then, so far as tin contest is concerned, is clearly to abandon the principles themselves. It is to prefer democra tic measures to be carried out by a democratic President, to AY big measures to Le carried out by a Whig named Scott, when thene same mea sures are admitted to be altogether excellent, and to be greatly desired, if carried out by a Whig bearing the name of Fillmore. Now if any man preters the principles of the democra tic party, then it is his duty to support the nom inees ot that party ; but how i:i the name of reason and patriotism can a big support tor 1'resi.lent, one wbo will, in tfie admuu.tration of the Government, oppose what thatA big be- heves right aud support wiiat he llieyes wrong, merely lecauso a different W hig has lken chosen, by the representatives of his party from the one he preferred, to support the right akid oppose the wrong ? - Again : The Southern AVhigs were repre sented in the Convention. A platform of prin ciples was proposed and adopted which met their entire approval. Gen. Scott was nominated, and that nomination was then ratified and con firmed by those Southern AVhig representatives. How then in honor can we, Southern AVhigs, re fuse to support this nomination ? It was known to all before the Convention that Gen. Scott's name would be presented to that body. No AVhig State Convention entered any careut, in terposed any objection against his nomination, or instructed, or intimated, to their delegates that his rejection should be insisted on. All that Southern Whigs deemed indispensable was tbat their Candidate should be a true AA'hig and pledged to support the Compromise. These con ditions fulfilled, they every where pledged the nominee their support. These conditions arc found in the nominee, and how then can we, with good faith, refuse to sustain him, anymore than his friends could have refused support to Mr. Fillmore, had he been selected by the Con vention? Such a refusal on their part we should have regarded ami denounced as an act of trea chery and baseness; and froni this we may learn to estimate the true character of such a refusal on our part. It has been said, that Gen. Scott has not heartily adopted does not approve the plat form laid down by the Convention, How is this ascertained ? Not from any thing he has written or spoken. In his letter to the Presi dent of the Convention, he accepts the nomina tion and the declaration of principles annexed. AVhat he says of the nomination he says of tho declaration, and no more. If, therefore, what he says amounts to an approval of one, why does it not also of the other r But, in fact, no man was more decided in fa vor of the measures of Compromise, one and all, than AVinfield Scott; and when he pledged him self to that scries of resolutions, one of which asserts the final character of the Compromise, the fugitive slave law included, he only pledged himself to what he had always approved and had exerted himself to have passed. Of this, the proof before the public is full and ample. i so full and ample, that no ground is left for de- Uiai or uuuui, lthasbeen made an objection toGen, Scott, that he wrote nothing on the Compromise before his nomination. If this be an objection, does it not anplv with at least equal force to Gen. Pierce? He was specially interrogated by Mr. Scott, of Richmond, and made no reply, or it he replied, that reply has been withheld from the public. ButthcquestionfirusiRnotwApnGen.Soott wrote but what ho wrote, and the position ho now be cupies and which ho has all along occupied, I is decided and hearty support of the whole Com promise in all its parts as a final settlement. VV hat more can be required ? ! f It has been objected to Scott, that Sewakl, Greeley ami Weed support him. Well, do not both the V an Burens, Preston King. Hallet, SB. lut,er David Wiluiot, the father of the odioius proviso, and many others of like abolition onjn ioiis, sm.port Pierce? If tho support of 'the latter Candidate by Abolitionst is entirely con sistent with his soundness on the slavery ques tion, how, in fairness, can it bo alleged tnat the support giveu to the former, by persons of like opinions, argues any unsoundness in him upbn that question ? Is it supposed that Seward will influence Seott ? and shall Pierce not be in fluenced by such men as the Van Burens, aiid King, and Hallet, and Butler, and Wilmot? i But, sir, could we have nominated any Can didate to whom our opponents would not hate alleged a like objection? Had Fillmore ht Webster been nominated for the injustice done Indignant Hwo!aint-rr LT"Tart -i- - -T trrarpr&aa in the South with aboti- tionisnt, or, at any rate, with being unreliable for the South, while at the North he would h&io been every where arrayed as a pro-slavery man unfit to; be trusted by Northern freemen? " Sure ly he would. Why not ? Scott has beeu charg ed with; cowardice, and surely they, who uiako this charge, would not have been withheld bv its mendacity from charging Webster or Fill more wjth abolitionism. j It appears then, sir, to me, as Mr. FillinorL' has said, that Gen. Scott is "entitled to the sup port of every true Whig." Surely we of tlib South may well confide in him. Born and rear ed in a Southern State, accustomed to slavery from his infancy, having his relations aud ihb friends of his yuih here, what is there in thb antecedents of h early life to justify distrust? Honorable in his principles, true to his engage ments, and shewn in his past life to be far re moved from all that has the appearance of fraud or duplicity, a brave s.-ldicr, a true pali iot. witji his name renown-d throughout the . world I'oi what is noble and lofty and geatrcus, he cannot but be found faithful iu every fuutiu a he has been in every past emergency. He is a Whig!, a well-know n, loug-tiied Whig; he holds uu opinions and will usaintaiu our measures in tbt! administration of public affair. Lot us thei either give him our support, onijC ackuovvledg that there is nothiug valuable ir.

It is true. that we preferred Mr. Fillmore to any oth er candidate, and used all honorable and - lair means to have him nominated, because we thought that the people owed him a debt of grat itude, for his patriotic devotion to the Constitu tion and the Union in the trying times of l8."t, which deserved the nomination, but we never for one moment conceived that Geu. Scott was not equally patriotic and devoted to the Consti tution and the Union. AVe, with many other Southern Whigs, and we are happy to say, many good Northern AVhigs, too, determined to use our best efforts to have the compromise measures incorporated in the AVhig platform of principles ; and we, our selves, had determined uot to act in concert with any party tbat refused to adopt those measures The resolutions adopted at the Whig National Convention, 1efore the nominations took place, by an overwhelming majority, had been previ ousrrtmroved bYJinarlythe whole Southern delegation and they contained" lhe" "prlwjr adopted by our 6tate convention ; and aitr tneir adoption and the nominations, fairly made by a majority, and the unequivocal acceptance of the nomination and the platform of principles by both Gen. Scott and Mr. Graham, we, as hon orable men, true republicans and good AVhigs, were bound to support the nomination, as we do most cordially. As our position hero gives us the opportuni ty of procuring the most reliable information, we may add that, in relation to tho principles embodied in the resolutions adopted by the Av hig National Convention, and in relation to all Southern interests, we have every confidence that they v. ill be faithfully carried out by both Gen. Scott and Mr. Graham, if. elected. AVe therefore do not hesitate to invite our fellow citizens of Louisiana to support them. Your obedient servants, Joux Moore, J.

Pierce vote again the Rcslution author ising Mr. Brooke to Lang into ho District of Columbian couple of slaves, w' ch he owned and had left in Virginia, whn a came tore side in tho District. The uuestio was long un answered, Ixfcausc the advtcates nd apologists of the great ' Down Easter'did, no know what to answer. They stood aghast at thi development.

Pierce does not admit the right of Congress to iutoifere with slavery at alt in the District of Columbia. Now, if ien. Pierce had voted for BnwAo's Bill, even to a bail slaves, it would have impliod the rijht to legislate on that sulr- ject ; aud, consequently, .t vugress might attofish slavery as well nunarc the uumbcr in the Ditrici."

The result of the Maine Election, which will be found in another column, looks well for; the AVhigs. AA'c have now no doubt that five of the New England States will be carried by large ma jorities for Scott and Grauam. Missouri, Iowa and Maine are tho only States which have yet elected Members to the next Congress. In the year of Gen. Taylor's clec- tion they chose three AVhigs to eleven Loco-Focos, ' ,. , wi- ,-n u vr n n; but one ot the three AVhigs (D.F. M.ller ot lowa) was cheated out 01 his seat uy me sieanng oi the poll-book, so jthat the returns stood AVhigs two ; Opposition ttcelve. Now those same States have chosen si.e AVhigs and semi Opposition. AVe call this a fair beginning. Keep it up I FATALITY.
