EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE. " Nero York, 27fA UCttiter, isto. a GEN.

ThifLiTerwell, bat it is unnecessary it. & on the general result. In my opinioo, foand- careful observation and the view of men from 111 parte of the Union, I have been satisfied for a year DSsTthat Taylor would be our nexi President and CVtwo third vote. This new enthusiasm from lo cal Elections may add to that, or give him larger majorities, but with or without it, he is safe.

The great difficulty liee in distinguishing the true hero, from the false ; and oftener than by their own judg atata, they are led astray by those who deceive them with eloquence and falsehood, and ride to high pla ces on the fabric of the deception they have created. . . - THE FAIR. - The Lion of the day, of course, has been the Fair of the American Institute, which is joatclosed. It was held in what is facetiously enough called Castle Garden, a large Circular Room, some 200 feet in di ameter, with an arched Roof, and lighted from the dome. It Garden name may arise from the Fe male flowers of loveliness" which there do congre gate, for certainly no other flowers spring from its wooden Bed, though when there is a Ball held there, and the Room is made as light as sunshine with Gas, and the floor is covered with beings of light and loveliness "t -does" look bed of tulipishneas. The Fair is an annual collection of works of Art, Mechanical ingenuity, fancy &.c from all parts of the Union, placed in this arena of competition, for premiums, Medals and praise. It is a capital medi um through Which to make a new thing known, on4 many it poor and ingenious Mechanic, is thus ad vertised to the people, at no cost. The "Garden" itself is a magnificent Room, probably much the largest in the United States, and this building was more than filled, for its entrances and environment were crowded also, with a world of useful, strange and fanciful articles. It has been filled also with lookers on, about One Hundred Thousand of whom have visited it during its three weeks existence. It is capital Institution, enabling consumers to satisfy old, and find out new wants, and producers and inventors to see what is already doue, and keep them from puzzling their brains over that wnicn has been invented before, TROUBLE AMONGST THE REPORTERS. The amusing thing of the week, has been the News paper Reporters' indignation Meetings. One of the Theatres has a new burlesque performance called New York in slices, one scene of which is the fancy ball of last season at the Opera Houso, in which a character, supposed to be intended for a Reporter of the Herald, sneaks round amongst the dancers levying contributions for a favorable notice in his paper, of the costume?, &.c. About a week since, some of the Herald Reporters hissed the piece and de manded its withdrawal; a Row ensued, and they were turned out of the Theatre. Several indignation Meetings were attempted to be held, but they were only scenes of confusion, as ail the City Press were opposed to noticing the Herald People's woes. At the last Meeting, the aggrieved Reporters retired in disgust, and order being obtained for once, the Reporters of the other Papers pressed Resolutions, to the effect thai they had no objectiou to the Peice, requested the manager to continue it, and suggest ed Chat if the thin-skined sufferers took it to them selves, there was probably sufficient cause, Yours truly, ic.

C, Oct. 23, IS 18. Dear Sir : The Session of our County Court, just closed, has been of a very pleasantly exciting char; acter, in regard to the all-absorbing question of Pol itics. We confidently hope, that by means of able exertions, directed to the noblest ends and inspired by the purest motives, we shall rouse the dormant spirit of patriotism to such an extent, that the Whig vote in eld Mecklenburg shall be largely increased. First Hob. Mr. Barringer, on Tuesday evening, gave us a long, animated, and interesting speech, covering the whole ground, separating the two par ties, and setting forth boldly and distinctly, the pre eminent claims of Gen. Taylor, and the overwhel ming advantages the South would derive from his election. How shall I tell you of the luminous arguments, the indisputable inferences, the clear, impassioned array of facts, which Mr. Osborne poured forth, on Thursday evening. The deep, smooth stream swept away the sandy fountain, under the feet of C'assoc racy and when we last saw any thing of his party politics, they were bobbing up and down, now visi ble and now sunk too deep, floating away in the cur rent Mr. Osborne completely exploded the famous Lo co charge against Fillmore. This ghost of a long departed shadow has been raised so often by the Locos, to frighten the fearful ones, that they them selves do begin to believe that they imagine that it is or once was true. Do they know that the full blooded Abolitionists of Mr. F.'s District have reg ularly nominated and run a candidate against him, ever since his first election to Congress ? Mr. Os borne spoke more than an hour, and throughout that space, mingled wit and humor with logical argument and masterly declamation, against the so-called De mocratic party. His honorable opponent began on a much higher key ; like a man who has long re strained his feelings, the words burst from him in a torrent his manner and style showed decidedly nt a disadvantage, in contrast with Mr. Osborne's ; his expressions were abrupt, often unintelligible, and Eometimes so confused, it would be almost impossible to repeat his words or confute his arguments. He broached some doctrines so strangely new, that I cannot think he meant them as articles of his faith. They were certainly the monstrous offspring of a prolific, fancy, engendered by " circumstances." He declared that the President, by the veto power, was the sole true representative of the People, being e lected by the whole mass; that Gen. Jackson by one Teto, saved Tiro Hundred and Eleven Millions of Dollars from being foolishly squandered ; according to him, the South was in extreme danger from the Fanatics of the North, therefore, Cass (one of those T A . TW . same r anaucs; was me nero to aeuver us : ne Knew Taylor for flftpan of great moral, but no-politicril honesty, anda brave soldier. What will Mr. Wil der say to that? According to the besauthority, I thought that from a man's heart proceed his thoughts and ideas, on these his acts and words depend, and by these are regulated but how "a fountainan send forth at the same place, waters both bitterand sweet,'"' how "a corrupt tree can bear good fruit," how a man can be morally good, and politically immoral, 1 must call on some new light Democratic prophet to expound. Mr. Badger was several times complimented for his learning and talents, and the Orator concluded by declaring unequivocally his belief in Cas success. As for Ohio, why he would venture his existence that she would give from 10 to 15,000 maioritv for Cass and Butler. He did say, too, that for a Whig, Mr. O. was very fair for himself, he admitted nothing.

The Barbecue.Jor which the Florida parishes have been making preparations for sometime past, ro be eiven to the returned volunteers of the Mexican war, was a most splendid and spirited affair. all the country parishes in raising volunteers the war, was very properly selected as the scene of this great popular display. There were other reasons, no doubt, for this preference, in the great superiority of Cast Feliciana, in the number and beauty of her lair ladies, ana in tne taste and re sources of her people in getting up Barbecues. The beautiful oak and magnolia grove near Port Hudson, was chosen for the ceremonies, and the ladies of the neighborhood contributed to heigh ten the great natural beauties of the location, by hanging the trees and the stand erected for the occasion wiih gay fl2s, streamers and banners, appropriately inscribed with allusions to the gal lant deeds of our soldiers, and particularly of Gen. Taylor. , James H. Mure, Esq., of Clinton, advanced, and addressed Gen. Taylor and the assembly. We could not secure a copy of Mr. Mure's speech, and it is too long to publish entire. Aler noticing many interesting incidents of the war, and many illustrations of Gen. Taylor's kind hearledness, Mr. Mure concluded in the fol lowing words : 44 In the name, then, not only of my fellow citizens as a community but of the fathers and mothers, who had sent their sons to fight the battles of their country, giving them the Spartan command to return wiih honor or not at all, he welcomed Gen. Taylor to the hearts and homes of his1 countrymen. Yes, General, we are happy to-day to see you among us. We have brought our wives and children out to behold one who has done so much for the honor of the country: And our children's children ehail remember and praise your great deeds and noble victories upon the banks ofthe Rio Grande. On the shores of the Pacific and at the base of the Rocky Moun tains, they shall hvmn your praises and recount i your great deeds, as I have this day so imperfect ly done on the banks of the Mississippi. Fear not that the bright pages you have added to the nation's history, wilUever be torn therefrom, or that our claims to the love and gratitude of your countrymen will ever fade from their hearts or memories. Posterity will never cease to hold you in grateful recollection, until time shall be no more, and earthly glory shall sink into the tomb. Welcome, then ! thrice welcome, honored patriot and soldier, to the simple hospitalities which a Republican people extend to you." The speech of Mr. Mure was too long, but it was happy in sentiment, fervent in style, and ani mated in delivery. There were parts of it in which we could detect a party bias that might have been better restrained on 6uchan occasion. Frequent cheers attested the admiration and ap preciation of the company, of. the feelings and sentiments of the speeches. During the delivery of this address, General Taylor appeared to be much affected, and when he began his reply, his emotions rendered his utterance quite difficult. GEN. TAYLOR'S ADDRESS. Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen : It is with a feeling of deep embarrassment, that I at tempt to reply to the elqiient address just deli vered, in which I feel my humble services have been too vividly portrayed and too highly estima ted. During the long period I have been in the service of my country, I have endeavored to keep in view, as the constant object of my exertions, the honor, the integrity, artd the welfare of my country ; and if I have been placed in situations in which 1 was able to promote those objects, it is attributable rather to the zealoua aid and en ergetic cooperation of the gallant men, both of the regular and volunteer service, whom it has been my good fortune to command, than to any superior skill or aoimy on my part, lotnem, more than to myself, belongs the glory of any results which may have been achieved under my command. But I cannot avoid the opportunity, whilst refer ring to the achievements of our arms, of expressing my deep conviction of the evils of war, of which, here as elsewhere, my mind receives daily and mourn ful proof. Throughout my service, 1 assure you, the proudest moments of victory have been darken ed and rendered sorrowful by the reflection of the painful occurrences which it produces; of the wives made widows, of parents made childless, of friends bereft of those bound to them by the dearest ties. For the awful results of war are not confined to the bloody scenes of the battle Mid; but disease, slow consuming disease, more than any of the instruments of war, scatters death amongst those engaged in the trying fatigues and exposures of military duty. Of those who have died in active service in Mexico, the proportion of those cut down by disease to those who fell on the battle field, is about five to one. For these reasons, as a constant witness of ail the stern and painful realities of war, I assure you that there is no one who rejoices more in the conclusion of the war with Mexico, now happily terminated, than 1 do. It was not from any apprehension of the dan gers, or any dread of the fatigues and sufferings to which l might be exposed, that 1 so warmly desired it shone brighter than in the conduct and senti ments ofthe softer sex of our country, so many of whom have honored us with their presence on this occasion. During my public service, 1 have become familiar with deeds which place the women of our country on a level with the Spartan and Roman mothers, of whose heroism history records so many iuteresting examples. I have known mothers to send their only sons to the war, telling them, to re turn with honor, or not at all. 1 have known sisters to part with their only brothers, with words full of pride and hope of their return with bright lau rels. I have known wives to teir themselves- from the arms of devoted husbands, and to forget all their own cares and affections in a general and patriotic pride and devotion to their country:s, and their hus band's honor. Where such feelings prevail among those who are to be the mothers of the Republic, from whom the ideas and virtues upon which the future weal of our country will depend, are to flow, there can be no reason to fear our people will ever be slow or weak in maintaining the rights of the Republic, and sustaining the national houor. With these desultory remarks, I beg, ladies and geullemen, to offer you my warmest thanks for this splendid and gratifying reception, extended to me by the patriotic citizens of East and West Feliciana, of East and West Baton Rouge, and other parts of this beautiful and interesting country. A GOOD WHIG MOTTO. 44 My .wounded are behind me, and I will never pass them alive "Gen. Taylor. -What sententious sublimity is embodied in this sentence ! How strikingly it exemplifies the Old Hero's humanity ! Indomitable courage and i the texiderest sympathy are beautifully blended in his noble character. 1 his language was au drefsed, while the terrible conflict of Buena Vista was at its height, to the gallant Davis, of Mississippi. He had been cut down at the head of his regiment He knew the merciless spirit of the enemy, and that to fall into their hands was certain death. It was doubtless an allusion to this spirit which elicited this sublime remark. "The wounded are behind me," says Old Zach. "They are secure until we are driven from our present position. The odds are fearfully against us, and we may be beaten, but you, and the nob'e men who like you, have been wounded, are safe so long as we live, for we will never pass them alive EDITORS LOOKING UP. James Brooks, Esq.ol the New York Express, 1ms been nominated to represent his District in the next Conre.s. We know not how Mr. Brooks can speak but if he can only do it half as well as he writes, he will be an acquisition to (he Houseof Representatives. He is well known as one ofthe most racy " and pnngeut writers of the day. Our old friend, John W. Syme, of the Peters burg Intelligencer, has won quite a forest of lau rels during this canvass. He nas been active and untiring throughout, and, as far as we learn, has npver been beatrn. He lately abdressed the Rough and Ready Club of Portsmouth, upon which occasion the Norfolk Herald spoke of him in the following terms : John W. Stme, Esq , of Petersburg This gentleman, we are informed by a Portsmouth triend, addressed the Hough and Ready Club of Portsmouth on Friday eveiiing last, in a speech of an hour and a- half, wMch was characterized by great wit and humor. It abounded throughout in strong and well timed hits, and in forcible il lustrations of the position of General Cass in re gard to the Wil.no't Proviso and Baltimore Dem ocratic Platform. The peroration was in a high degree eloquent and impressive. At the conclu sion of the speecn three hearty cheers were given for Petersburg and her worthy and taleuted son. There are few persons in Virginia to whom the Whig party is more indebted than Mr. S; He is always ready with tongue and pen, and with either weapon never fails to do gallant ser vice. Richmond Whig. MARK THE AUOiriOXIST I Yours truly, R. S.

And now, that Peace has once more smiled npon our happy lan djlrssu re you it is a proud and delightful fcelingto meet at the hands of our fel-low-chizens the kind and frieudly reception which has been extended to me on this, as well as on many other occasions, on which 1 have had the pleasure of esjoying the hospitality of my fellow-citizens of Lou isiana. These demoustrations satisfy me that it is a calumny to call Republics ungrateful. Everywhere have the soldiers of the Republic received the meed of popular applause and enjoyed the kindness of their fellow-citizens : but in no State have they been more handsomely treated than in our own State of Louisiana, to which my observation has been con fined 6ince my return from the war, not having been out of the State, except on a flying visit to my plant ation in Mississippi. The people of this State will compare with any in the world in patriotism and public spirit. Their conduct in the late Mexican war, in rushing to the aid of the little army which I had the honor to command on the Rio Grande, brings to my mind the patriotism of our fathers,when. after the battle of Lexington, they rushed to their country s standard, from the plough, the workshop, the desk, and even the pulpit, all eager to share in the glory and peril of defending the nation's honor. Such was the conduct of the large and gillant force of volunteers who rushed to our rescue on the Rio Grande. And I assure you, that it was to me the most painful occurrence of the war, that I was com pelled to part with that gnllint body of volunteers; but it was inevitable, as the Vnemy had retired be yond our reach, into the interior of Mexico, and we had not sufficient means of transportation to follow them. iNot desiring to keep them in inglorious ac tivity, subject to the diseases of camp duty, I pre ferred that- they should rejoin the families and homes from which they had torn themselves, under the influence of high and patriotic motives. That occasion furnuhed an additional proof of-the fact which has always been manifest to my mind, that we are a nation of soldiery,, possessing, more than any other people in the world, the virtues and re sources of a ereat military nation. And indeed there has been more reason to fear that our military spirit would carry us too far, and impel us to the mraaion or our neighbor's territory, than that it ould fall short of the defence of our own territory and honor. I have ever cherished the sentiment of orhu country, who cautioned us against leaving our own foil and territory for a foreign coun yTW.h0 ln.calcted a cardinal principle of our rrpuuacan institutions that we should escbew all PLATFORM OF LEWIS CASS thk Wil- mut Provisoist ! ! ! Mr. Cass was surprised at the attack of the Senator from IN ew J ersey. How did he know how he would have voted at the last session 7 But he confessed that, at the last session, he should have VOTED FOR THE WILMOT PROVISO !" Con. Proceedings, March 5, 1848. . " As soon as Mr. Davis had taken his seat, Gen Cass came over to this side of the Senate, and with much earnestness said, in the presence of the Se nators, that HE REGRETTED MUCH THAT Mr. DAVIS HAD BY HIS SPEECH PRE VENTED THE VOTE FROM BEING TA KEN ; THAT HE (Gen.CASS) AND EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM THE FREE STATES, WOULD HAVE VOTED TO SUSTAIN THE PROVISO ; that Mr. Al len would have led off, and all the rest would have followed ; that he was very sorry that they had been deprived of the opportunity of voting upon it; tnat it would have settled the question. and Gov. Davis was responsible for defeating that result. bee Houston s ixnutc Debates pp. 755-756 : Mr. Cass got up to reply to this, (to Mr. Mil lers speech.) and seemed to be very much out of humor. He said he would have voted for it, if he had voted at all, last year ; but he did not then anticipate, as he sees now, that it would stop the war and prevent the acquisition of territory." So then, Mr. Cass, the " inevitable war" candi date for the Presidency in 1818, Bays that if he could only be sure that he could have territory admitted free at the South, he would go for it ; but he intends to acquire it now, and then spring bohtionrtVer we get possession of it. BEAR IT IN MIND, that, if Gen. Cass is elec ted President, he is pledged to veto any bill that shall go to establish slavery in Territories now free. Hillsdale (Mich.) Gazette1 Bear it in mind, that the Gazette i published in Gen. Cass's own neighborhood, and is presum ed to know something, if not of his opinions, at least of his pledges to the people of that quarter. Dear it in mind, also, that according to the "Standard," Gen. Cass is pledged to veto any bill that shall provide for the exclusion of slavery from the Territories of New Mexico and Cali fornia. Bear it in mind, thereftnre, that Gen. Cass, if the Staiidard and Gazette are to be believed, is pledg ed on both sides of this great qnestion.

Is the South to be duped by such hypocrisy and "Awake! arise! or be forcier fallen," The occasion uoon which this language was uttered was one of affecting interest. Wiih 4.500 men, Gen. Taylor was fighting 20.000 Mex icans. He saw his men falling upon every hand, and the enemy rushing forward with a furious courage and impetuosity unequalled in any pre vious combat. The stoutest hearts trembled for the issue. Defeat seemed inevitable. While thus Dressed, and when the bravest expected every moment to be compelled to give way under the weight of the mass advancing upon them. Gen. Taylor, in the same breath that he issued his orders and cheered on his brave followers, was Dreasiiier the hand and pouring the words of comfort into the ear of his wounded Colonel. Albany Journal. MILLARD FILLMORK. Hon. John W. Cbockett, who is a son ofthe celebrated David Crockett, was several years a member of Congress from Tennessee, and is now editor of the New Orleans 4 National bears the following testimony in favor of our candidate for the Vice-Presidencv : " "We know Millard Fillmore, having served with him and worked with him for four years in the national councils, and we know him to be as free from taint of abolition as any man in this Union. He is a republican of the old schcol, and he would have to be unfaithful and unt "ue to himself to be untrue and unfaithful in the great body of the people of this country. Ha is emDhaticaliv one of them. He docs not 4 act' and "sympathize with abolitionists, as charged, but he acta and sympathizes with the great body of the honest, hardrieted mechanics and laborer of our country, for he is one of them. The me chanics of tne United States may glory in sjich a man as Millard Fillmore, because he has ad ded to the dignity of their profession and pursuit, by raising himself from the' position of an hum. ble, industrious and respectable mechanic and! la borer to the front rank of statesmen. ' "From an intimate personal knowledge of the purity .of his character, his manner of life, his sympathy with (he masses, his lofty patriotism and unwavering integrity, we express the opinion without, hesitation, and without disparagement to others,' that he is the most suitable man that could be found in the whole Union, to place on the ticket with Gen. Taylor." We cut the followirg beautiful figure and high compliment to our candidate for the Vice-Presi-dency from the 44 Independent Monitor," a good Whig, paper printed at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where it appears as editorial : There is a structure standing on a rock in the English channel called the Eddysione light-house. It lifts: its lantern more than 70 feet above the high water mark, and when storms arise, it is lashed- by surges more furious than assail any other structure erected by human hands. High up, above its calm and steady light, the angry waters shake their foamy manes, and bending over it' hang suspended in a fearful liquid canopy. But when the storm wind ceases and the vext waves'once more subside, there stands the light house I unharmed still, and its tranquil light streams out calm and steady as before. The po litical itempest which has been so long raging about -the head of Mr. Fillmore, can be com pared, in violence, only to those natural storms whichrassail this celebrated tower. The waves of calumny and invective have dashed themselves against him in vain. One after another they have fallen back impotent at his feet. The storm has expended itselt its force is utterly exhaus ted, and there, still, stands Mr. Fillmore unin. jured by its rage. We are proud of our candi date for the Vice-Presidency. Firm as the Ed dytsorfe light-house, impregnable as the Rock of Gibraltar, he is proof against every violence he cannot be overthrown, and he cannot be con- quered. !' ACROSTIC.
