WHIGS OF NORTH CAROLINA!
On the 7th of November, yotr will be
called upon to atrike the most important
blow that haa- fallen upon your political ad
versaries since the formation of our govern;
ernnwBl.- The rapid stride. of Federalism,
under the cloak of Democracy, must be ar
rested, or our pure Republican institutions
will toon be swallowed up in a great, 'DOM
INANT, DOMINEERING" DESPO
TISM, in the shape of a Supreme EXEC
UTIVE! Let the doctrine once be estab.
Iished,ahat the VETO ot the President is
to Control every thing, and
thesovereignty of the people ca never
again be recovered. In vain will millions
""be expended in the support of mock na
tional legislature; in vain will the people
struggle to throw oft" the chains of slavery;
in vain will the watch fires of liberty be kin
dled on a thousand hiU
elarioit voice of the uticottquered. and un
conquerable Whigs call " upon a nation in
chains to rush to the rescue, of their lost
liberties. The overshadowing power of
a Supreme Executive will be omnipotent!
Hut establish now your sound Republi
tan principles, under the guidance of the
man who appears to have ' been raised up
by Providence for the piirposev-that patri
ot and hero ZACII A It Y TA Y LOR and a
timely reformation will be effected; the fed
eral, monarchical dogmas of the Cassites
will be crushed and silenced forever. Their
oracles will be struck dumb; their loud pro
fessions of love for tho people will be proved
to the world to be nothing but a ''sound
ing brass, or a tinkling cymbal" modern
Democracy will be dead; and it will never,
by any power of sclf-reviviscencc, restore
itself after such a defeat It has no princi
ples that will bear the test ot the constitu
tion, no examples drawn from the fathers
of the Republic, no consistency pf action, no
reason, no argument: and the light of one
term of honest, and constitutional . adminis
tration, under the wise and prudent Tatlor,
will dispel the darkness which it has so
artfully thrown . around the minds of its
deluded followers, drive the fifty headed
Cerberus back again to its den, and estab
lish permanently good old fashioned Repub
lican ascendancy in bur government. .

Dy the law which was made and appro
ved by Lewis Cess and the three judges of
Michigan providing, forth whipping" f
poor whits men and selling them into ser
vice, a while man "night have beta sold tw
a negro. And not only could this have
been the case, but we have before us the
evidence iht it actually did occur. This
evidence is furnished by ihs New York
Evening Post, a paper which has lor many
years ranked among the ablest and most
effective in the Locofsco ranks. It is of
the same political character still, although
it haa recently yielded wan tho barnburn
era. -
Mr, Win. C. Bryant, the Editor of the
Post says; We remember reading some
years since we think it was while Mr.
Cass was Governor of Michgan an ac
count of A WHITE MAN SOLD IN
THAT TERRITORY FOR A TERM
OF. TIME TO A BLACK MAN. That
sate it was staled, wa made at a publte

' 4 JCnoxville Register:
DEMOCRATIC ARISTOCRACY,
This may sound strange, as a sigular
conjunction of terms, but the Democratic
candidate for President, Gen Lewi Cass,
is the most aristocratic . gentleman In the
country. AVhile pluming himself on his
democratic principles, he awaits the pre
sence of the hard Anted yeomanry ol the
country as he would a pestilence. In
late number of the Woostor Democrat
Samnel Hunter, a respectable farmer of
Wayne county. Ohiojcertifles, that in 1844
he paid tor his passage in a stage coach, in
w tuch was Mr Unst whceupBuV av 4tv
tire seat, the balance of the coach being, fil
edthat he Hero of the broken sword re
fused to let him sit on the same seat with
hims told him he "could do without his
company, " and that he was compelled to
in a heavy storm ' Mr David Fairfield
highly respectable citizen of Wooster,1 also
a passenger in the same coach, testifies to
the truth of Mr. Hunter's statememts,
' Gen, Cass is called Democrat by his
loeofoco brethren, and Gen Taylor a Fede
ralist; but wl.o ever heard of old "Rough
and Ready', usurping, to himself a whole
seat in a stage coach, or ever occupying his
own hammock if a sick soldier was to be
provided for The difference in character
consists in this that while : the hero 1 ol
three wars would inconvenience himself at
all times to accommodate his countrymen,
irrespective of their profession or . wealth.
the proud General of European court eti
queue would yield nothing to a plain farm
er that might seem tq derogate from his
lordly bearing; "Old Zack" would have
crowded himself, in to the smallest space
possible for the convenience of any ordina
rv passenger in a coach.' Gen. Cass swells
himself toan extent that requires an entire
seat to contain his princely carcase.
This may be considered a small "cir
cumstance," by his admirers; but small as
it is, there is a trait of character displayed,
that ought to convince the people, that the
old leaven of federalism, imbibed in Gen
Cass youth, when he mounted the . black
cockade,, still remains within him.

GEN, JACKSON'S OPINION OF OLD

HIGHLY 1MP0RTAN T ANECDOTE.
The great foresight of General Jackson
waa one ol the most prominent cnaractiucs

ingly illustrative of it and one that will be
read at the present time with the greatest
interest. ' '..'"' , ,

the subject of annexation of Texas; as . his
bodily strength failed him it seemed ' as if

A Eajropeaa War. I
The last accounts from Europe reader ill
more than probable that a general war will
soon oesqiaie me lace ot that country. I lie
French journal speak of it a a "settled
point that if Austria should pcrsi.t in
fusing to give independence to Lombard)',
tne army ol me Alps will cross the frontier.
The position ' of Gen. Cavaignac is such
that he must either withdraw from office
or lake this course. The Burgeoise are for
peace; but the best friends of the Govern
ment fear that hi draw back after the prom
ise of intervention in a given case would
not only enable the ulra Republicans toexrite
the populace, but would also create disaffec
tion in the army; and as they prefer war
to anarchy, they will support Cavaignac in
an armed intervention."
Another extract states that, after a long
conference between Generals Cava! gnat
and d Lamariciene, the formation of a se
cond army of 75,000 men was determined
upon, un contemplation of the entry or
troops under Oen Oudinot on the Pied
montese territory. , . This measure, it is said,
will raiee the f rench army to 500,000 men.
If France and Austria eross swords, it
will be difficult to keep the bystanders from
joining in the quarrel England will in the
end be drawn into the vortex, and Europe
become once more the scene of events which
will make the earth blush and tremble for
the wickedness of man,
.Our own manifest jwlicy, in case of ..a
general European war is PEACE. That
should be onr polar star. It would he Ira
possible to over. estimate the benefit which
would flow to us for 'preserving a careful
neutrality. All our great interests, agricul
tural, manufacturing and commercial, would
be vastly increased and strengthened by such
a course. It would put us in the way of
liquidating the vast debt created by the
Mexican war, and enable us to take a fresh
start in the world, with our purse replen
ished, and our discretion improved by the
icstructions of experience.
But, to do this, we must v avoid the elec
tion of a man to the Presidency, whose
prevailing idea. U "War is inevitable;"
whose appetite s sharp (or foreign eon
quest; whose fancy is- fired-" with military
ambition, naad wliOvlooka-wiuVsu evil eye

tve must elevate to the 1 residency one
who loves Pxace; who knows too well the
horrors of war to tempt it unnecessarily;
and yet, whose firmness is so well known
as ,lo deter, other nations from , trampling
upon our rights; one who has no ambition
but for the solid happiness and Increasing
unity of our own people; and whose max
im, in regard to -all schemes of invasion
and intermeddling with matters not our own,

article from the Staunton, Vs., Spectator; -
; The following well authenticated occur
rence manifests tile existence in Gen, Tayr
lor, of the elements of true greatness in a
highly eminent degree. , On the night be
fore the batde of Buena Vista he sat down
and drew his will and enclosed it in a letter
to his wife, iu which he slated that! he had
just passed the most 4 trying ' hour of (lis
existence. That his best dwcliHiried troops
had been withdrawn from him by the Ex
ecutives (of whoa treatment ef him it was
not -his purpose then to complain) and that
he was, against the advice of hi Officer
in council, 'and wi'h a Vast disparity of
numbers: and discipline, about lo engage the
finest army Mexico ever had, headed by her
ablest Ueneral, in a battle likely, to result in
the most moinentou consequents. ' That
a he might not survive the severe eonflict
that must ensue, he deemed it proper to
place in her hands the means pi doing jus
lice to his memory by suting to her the
reasons 4hat had influenced his conduct
on this important occasion. These were
that the Mexican army, having just, cross
ed a great desert their forces hath In men a
horse must be , in aVondifon soexliaused as
much to impair their, capacity for physical
exertion. . That- on - the other 1 hand he
himself held a strong position well achpled
to enable i imall to repel a superior force,
in which alone he could hope snceessrully
to contend with the immense odd against
him. That if he should quit this position
and fall wuvk upon . Monterey, as he Jutd
been advised to. do, hia own little army
would be discouraged; and the enemy ela
ted and. admitted into' a country in which
tliey (couM notv only's thoroughly, refresh
