"We should not halve fought the battle of southern lights over this bill," says our " indomitable friend Mr. Holden. Oh, no 44 never mention it" never think of southern rights till after the election. Such matters as political consistency, honor, in tegrity, are ol no practical importance" at the present time all must yield to elec tioneering purposes. And now the people are taught to be lieve that the friends of General Cass may perpetrate allsorts of political fraud, even to the abandonment of every principle for wtweb the boath ever contended ; and af- reverence. during the last Presidential contest. They also vilified and slandered the lamented Harrison, in the same way. The very lowest depth of billingsgate scandal was resorted to, to blast the re putation of these two great statesmen, and will be again, as the day of elec tion draws nigh.

Is it not notorious, in the North where he is known, that he is a Wil mot Provisoisi ? j Premising that Levi'is Cass has never denounced the Wilmot proviso as unconsti tutional, but refuses to Answer on that point; we would ask what is Mr. Polk who of ficially approved of the Wilmot Proviso,: different banners. He knows that the Con stitution of the Country is the only one under which Zacharv Taylor sails. So then he hasknowingly and wilfully wrong ed and misrepresented the Hero of four of the hardest fought battles on record. We remarked above that we were sur prised at this, but when we remember this very man, Holden, in 18 42, was an admirer and supporter of Henly Clay, and how he 'slandered him in 1844, we confess we are not so much surprised af ter all at his treatment-of Gen.
