Y EVENING, OCTOHEIl 10, 1848. ' The IiORifiliituro. A groat deal of aulicilutlu in tnaiiifestcd among the poopla of Ohio to know what ii lo bo the puliticul complexion of tho next Lexislalure. Ai at presenl'ad-viued, our belief it tlmt in llio Senate there ii a tie; and in tho Home of Representative a Whig majority of four. In thi majority it included the two members elect from Iliimiltnn county, viz : tho firitt eight ward of Cincinnati. We understand that, in making up their ticket and outing their vole in Hamilton county, the Locofocoa io far regarded the law of last winter as to designate two of the candidatei for Rep-rennUlivu as from tho first district, and three as from tho second district; and that tho ticket in framed was voted lor by that party throughout tho county ! And wo learn that tho Judge! of election In one of tho wards rejected, (ai they were bound to do by the law,) alt those votes for Repreitenlativo which contained the names of more persons than thero wore Representatives to ho voted for in their proper district ; wile in tho other wards, tho Judges certified the facts on the pril-bonk, leaving it to the Clerk of tho Court to decide upon the law, and to givo or withhold lis certifi-oatea of election, according to his discretion. Uslrikes us that tho Judges, of election had a plain duty to perform under tho law, and that there should havo been no shrinking from responsibility on their part. The Clerk can only oeitify upon the facts derived through the poll-books; and wo shall not bo surprised if, under the circumstances, he gives certificates to the whole five Locofucos though tho fact shall ho known to him that two have been elected by persons not living in their district ! Thero is one feature of this transaction which exhibits tho conduct of the Hamilton county Locofoco in a light rather unique, to say the least. It is that which shows them to have adopted just so much of the laio as suited their purpose, and rejected the balance ! There is now no law upon tho statute-book authorizing Hamilton county to elect five Representatives, except that of last winter ; and that one requires that two ol the five Representatives shall be chosen by the electors of the first eight wards, and three by tho remainder of the city and county. Yet these gentlemen avail themselves of so much of the law as they like, and without the least ceremony set the balance at nought '. We have been loo long acquainted with Lo cofocoism to be surprised at any ahape. it may assume ; hut this, wo believe, is the first time within our rccol lection that it has attempted ta assume two separate and distinct aspects at one and the same time. One, re specting tho law tho other, putting aside as an iusig nificant thing. Piioor vron Ynoov We observe, with strong sen timents of admiration, that those skillful and accurate lofficians, the editors of the Locoloco prints in Ohio, are claiming with many signs of exultation that the eloction of John 11. Weller to the olhce of Governor, is proof positive that ho did not steal the surplus revenue fund of JIutter county. Admitting tint such is the case, of course these intelligent masters of the art of reasoning will not complain if the converse ol their proposition is also holden to be true. Thus : John 11. Weller is elected; therefore ho did not steal, &c. John 11. Weller ino( elected ; therefore he did steal, &e. Thero is ono thing, however, which these people cem to have left entirely out of the question, and that is, if Mr. Weller did notfraudulently appropriate the funds, who is to pay it back t Will his flection make restitution of tho property, as well a disprove tho act of taking ? IUntrh. Wo never bet never have, and don't intend to ; but there are some who are fund of backing their opinions with their money. This species of argument prove -nothing, and very many good men ourselves among tho number disapprove of the practice. Bat that's of no uonaequence ; sumo wilt do it, and we notice, among one of the incidents of the day, an offer made in the street to the following import: One hundred dollars each that New York and Pcun svlvania give their votes for (ien. Taylor, and one hundred dollars upon the election of Urn. Taylor to tho Presidency. It is said that there will be no dull culty in finding tho mau, when anybody is ready to tako the oiler. Kit nuts from Mr Corwlu'a Speech. Tom Couw in made one of his characteristic speeches, at Carthage, Ohio, on the 3d inat-, of winch we extract the following report of the Cincinnati Gazette: "It is a common expression to say, the 1'resideut holds a high oltiee ; but you who possess tho right of voting for that man, hold a higher ollice limn yo-j can confer on him. You write his name on a piece of paper no longer than the palm ol your hand, and up starts a President for four yearn you create him at your pleasure and destroy him at your pleasure at each re-curring election. Havo you considered the powei this right of voting gives you ? Havu you considered that when ymi vote on the 7lh of November, twenty millions of God's creatures look up to you as tho guardians of their interests for four years and it may ho for a longer period ; and the man who votes carelessly, who says he cares not who is elected, he being the appointed quardian of the interests of tho country shall be held responsible hero and hereafter for thu manner in which he has performed that duty. Applause I do not want to revive any of the old controversies. 1 would bo happy to know ihpy wero blotted out of tlio page of our country's history ; but 1 would auk any man to consider how much power fifteen thousand men in a particular locality in the United Stale held, not only over the destinies and happiness of the people of this country but over those of a neighboring Republic. Two men were presented lo you in 18-14 one, in reference to tho great questions agitated, said, "elect me, and Texas, a country as large in geographical surface as the empire of France, shall bo annexed to the United States, and shall como within the range of our Government, with or without the conscutof Mexico, the parent Republic." " 1 am not going to discuss whether that wero a wrong or right proposition- Another of these- gentlemen, n slaveholder also, Henry Clay, of Kentucky, said, 1 If you elect mo that annexation shall not lake place without the freo consent of Mexico and not tl ien till every State of the old Republic shall express its consent to that annexation.' Cheers 1 presume every body knows, IWun the history of the past four years, that if Henry Clay had been President of the United Slates, Texna would not havo been annexed. Fifteen thousand voles given on that occasion in New York, for a gentleman named liirney, whom nobody expected to elect, wero thrown away. It was all a farce it was not voting at all. If Ibis country, however, was benefitted by that annexation if it be a matter of great interest to the people of Ohio lhat five or six States yet to bo made in the present limits of Texas, shall be settled by her people, whero it shall be law lhat any one man having a hundred negroes filial! havo as much political power as sixty-one inhabiting them plantations if it be a matter of felicity to you that lint Btalo of things is brought about, then these fifteen thousand men did well in keeping Clay out of ollice and bringing Texas in. If it bo a matter of importance that we should hove expended one hundred and seventy millions of dollars in a war with Mexico about tho boundary of Texas if that be a gratifying circumstance to the people of Hamilton county, then these fifteen thousand men did well in keeping Clay out of the Presidential chair. If it were better that one hundred and seventy millions of dollars should Le expended to blow out the brains of a number of young men (who might now have been engaged in their ordinary avocations,) instead of building school-houses and appointing teachers to educate those brains, a laughj then you ought to thank these fifteen thousand gentlemen ol New York for these abolition votes brought about all the hleiwings 1 havo enumerated. If it be a matter of congratulation to this Christian Republic, that now, after paying one hundred cud seventy millions of dollars in conquest, we should pay twenty millions more for the purchase of two provinces, then should we he thankful to the Almighty Ruler of nations that we have got these five hundred thou sand square miles and God bless theso gentlemen, lor we havo got something to quarrel anout. i laugh Really, I think these fifteen thousand men ought in make a tiguro in the hislorv of the country. We shall have occa-ionto thank God thnt they wero born, and lived in Lvl 1, laughter, and that by throwing away their votes, they produce all the glorious results to which 1 have referred. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IT, 1848. Letter from Juduo llurnet. In another column will be found a letter, copied from the Cincinnati Chronicle, from that distinguished veteran in tho Whig cause, which puts at rest the rumors that havo w industriously been whispered about by the Barnburners, that he would support Van Jluren for tho Presidency. We are only surprised that any ono should havu listened lo Ihein for a moment. For ourselves, wo havo never had a doubt bout the mailer. Tho Judge is loo old a soldier in thn Whig cause, and has been too intimately identified with iU trials and its triumphs, lobe led away by new creeds, or to give any countenance to thoso who seem only ambitious to ruin whero they cannot rule. The letter indicates that in Ihe Presidential contest, the Judge will be found where he has always been first among the foremost in the support of our candidates. Cm. .Mas. Cit:iK!tvri, August 31st, 1K8. Gr.STi.KtN : I havo the honor of receiving your letter, written on behalf of thu W h'gs ?f Vigo county, friendly to the nominations of Gen. Taylor and Millard Fillmore, in which you invite me to bo present nl a mass meeting, to be held at Fort Harrison, on the .'tlh ol Sepleiiilwr, the anniversary of the defence of that post, by the gallant Taylor, in the war of Irltf. and in whirli you express a belief, lhat " the proposed meeting will be a mighty assemblage "f the people." 1 hope and trust that this opinion may bo verified, because I firmly believe lhat on tho result of the ap-nroarhimr contest depends the perpetuity or the dis solution of the irreat Whig party of the United States tho nartv which, in Ihe language of tho distin guished orator and statesman of Massachusetts is the. only star ta be seen ahure the horizon calculated to flire us UgU in (As dirk and troubltd night that is up on us. Should the ijrnif fatnits, got up in the mongrel Con vention at Uutfulo. bewilder and mislead as many Whins, heretofore truo lo ilieir party, ta some of its advocates have ventured to predict, it will bo within the range of probabilities, thai tho nominees of the Whi Convention of Philadelphia may bo defeated, as was the case in 1CJI, by tho agency ot a similar defection, which brought on our country the annexation of Texas, with her slave popuUlion, and tho Mexican war with all its attendant evils. It is well known that the Presidential candidate selected at Philadelphia was not my first choice, but that after the selection had been fairly made and promulgated, bv those to whom lhat trut had been delegated, my personal preferences were Immediately given up, without reluctance, under a full conviction that llm distinguished men nominated by lhat body, were gen uilie, unflinching Wings, and would, if elected, carry out in good raiih, all tho principles of our political cried. It cannot be necessary, on lliii occasion, to rrrapitu-Int.. those nrmcinlca. Suffice it in say. that they are tho same, which wero illustrated in Ilia administration of every President ol the United nifties, troui mo miner of his country to the venerated John tjuincy Adams, inclusive, being the same glorious principles, by tho agency of which, under the guidance ot those distill gin-lied patriots, tho American people rose from poverty to wealth from imbecility to power, and from the vale of otitcurity to the pinnacle of national glory, with rapidity unequalled in the history of the world. Thso same prinriplea aro professed by General Tavlor and Millard Fillmore, who will carry them fBiilit'nlltf into nrnetice. unless their election nhall be defeated by the discordant movements of the Whig party. I regret, gentlemen, that if will not be in my power lo moot my brother Whigs at Fort Harrison, rendered memorable by tho early achievements of the distinguished hero whose name now floats on the W hig banner throughout tho United otaies, anu who is uca lined, as 1 venlv believe, to carry that banner triumphantly to I ho Presidential Chair. Very respectfully, jour brother Whig, ' J. llURNET. " I have stood upon the plains of Marathon, the battle field of liberty.' tien. Co. And wo suppose that, notwithstanding tho terrible hauls took plaee titer only a few thousand years ago, you were not frightened at all. Oh, what courago ! Vrtntict, Whig MeHJiiir. On Saturday tho 7th day of October, the Whigs as sembled in the Court House, and were addresned by R. C. Uurd, the Elector on llio 'inylor ticket in this district, in a clear, calm and forcible manner, portraying the evil consequence of an elongation of the present ruling d nasty, in the person if Lewis Cass. Alter mr. I turd had closed Ins remarks, tne lion. Columbus Delano was called to the stand; and for about two hours, poured tho hotshot into ttie rotten hull ol LocoIocoihiu With more than his accustomed zeal, power and eloquence. We will not pretend to follow him in his remarks ; but will notice some of tha poinls in his speech, which show hun to bo thoroughly Whig although as strongly tinctured with Freesoihsm as nny man that b real he the vital air; and one that would go as fur and sacrifice as much as nny living limn to establish the principles of tho ordinance of I7r7, in the newly acquired territories. After noticing the dangerous results that nuifht follow the Locoloco design of didorL'aur'iug the Stale government, depriving Ohio of a Governor, and alm of a Senator in Congrens, when ihe important question of nlavery in the territories, is to be decided, and thereby rendering tho defeat of thu Wilmot Proviso almost certain.He then proceeded to discuss the immense power of pitronaife, wielded by the President and deprecated the influence which had been exercised over the member of Congress, by means of it in overawing some and buying others, to defeat some of the most vital questions Ilinl has ever been agitated in Congress, or to force through measures that were highly injurious to the interi-nt and welfare of Ihe people, and the government. He then denounced tin; veto, a exercised by the late Presidents, as a kingly power, used to stifle the will of a majority of the people, as known and publicly and deliberately expressed through thuir Representatives in Congress. lie then proceded lo notice the positions ot me several candidates for (lie Presidency He disapproved of Mr. van liuren political creed wun inu single exception of the principle of freedom in the new lei ri tones. He condemned in strong terms, his countenance and support of the admiuinlralieu, throughout the Mexican war of conquest. Without, howevr, going into a very rnlical examination of the life and character of this suprrunnntio Locoloco, he stated that from Ihe present indications, the contest seemed to be entirely between Taylor and Cass. With the latter he said we had nothing to hope for, but Locufocoism in general and slavery extension in particular with the former Wo had the certainty of Whig ascendancy in general and as to tho particular though his position uti the question of slaveiy extension was by no means as sutislactory to hun as he could desire still thero was reasonable goimd to hoc tlmt General Taylor would not interfere by his patronage or veto, with tin all important question. Tho nomination of General Taylor had been, and still was very unaccrpiitble to him ; but he felt bound, he said, as a good citixen and true W big not to aid in the election of Lwib Cm, snd he declared his determination if the contest should continue as he supposed it would, lo lie lie I ween Taylor anil Cass, to east his vole for Gen. Taylor The announcement of his du termination, was received by the audience with shout of applause, The resolution of the eloquent speaker, it seems to us is the only rational conclusion that any iruo Whig can arrive at. May the same manly spirit animate all doubting Whigs, and lhat quickly. Mt. I'crtwn True Whip. When the vote waa taken in the V, 8.

The Bage of Quinry could read as plainly the Irared lines of a man's character as could most men of his time. The mild firmni its and elevated patriotism of John Quilt cy Admis discerned in the pure and unsullied character of Zachary Taylor, he thought the safest qualification of any candidate for an American' support. The voice of the revered Adams conies lo us at this time, full of prophetic advice and warning llartj'urd four ant. Dri.Aw auk. The Inspectors' election in thi Statu ha resulted in an aggregate Whig majority of HW. Wo do not think there need be any more doubt, if thero has been any, of Delaware voting for Taylor and Fillmore.

Look Well to your Ticket. Wo observo in some of our Whig exchange, ono or two errors in the name of tho individual composing Iho Whig Electoral Ticket. For example, the Elector for the (ith District is sometimes printed Isaiah Scott, instead ofJiuia-A Scott; and for the 8th District, llio name of Gen. Green is spelled with an e final, which i wrong. We havo taken pain that the list printed in tho State Journal bo correct, and believe it is entirely accurate and would recommend to our brethren of tho pros lo compara their carefully with it. Piqun KcKinter. This sterling Whig paper, which never hesitalesin the advocacy of Whig principles, was slow in taking position as an advocate of Ihe elcctmn ot General Tavlok. During all tho period of its delay in this particular, wo havo observed that it has prudently and with great propriety abstained from assaults upon the Whig nominee, and from unworthy imputations upon thu motives of those who made, and thoso who support the nomination. Tho editor had his reasons for pausing before ho should make his final determination of preference lor a presidential candidate. It wuahis unquestionable right to pause, until he could satisfy his own mind as to the propriety of the course he wo called upon to adopt. Ho doubted tho propriety of the nomination made by his political friends; and so doubling, he delayed to givo to that nomination his sanction, until those doubts should be removed. Is he to be condemned for this? Wo trow not. Wo ro-gard it n precisely one of those cases contemplated by Mr. Jefferson, when he gavo utterance lo the immortal sentiment Ilia " error of opinion may be safely tolerated, while reason is left freo to combat it." And this inatauco affords a hnppy illustration ol the truth of that sentiment. Entertaining doubts as to what was his duty, he paused until reason should do its work. He did not give himself up to factious op. position, and turn upon his associates with reproaches; nor, lending himself to tho result of chances, press forward, not knowing whither ho went. He came to a stand, and there awaited until the clouds of darkness and night should pass away, and discluse a safe cynosure to guide his steps in tho way of duty and of safety. The mills have passed away day has duwucd and tho editor's course lies plainly disclosed before him. He speaks, in hi paper ol Saturday fast hear him : "Wo insert, to day, tho Whig Electoral Ticket of tins Mate. When, as is now llio case, too selection of a President must he inadu between two such men as General Taylor and General Cuss, wo ennnot hesitate as to our duty. The choicu is now from these; all others are out of Ihe question. When the merits of tho Iwo are carefully considered and compared, those of Gen. Taylor stiind out pre-eminently abjve those of his competitor, and entitle him to the support of all who think more of promoting the true interests of Ihe country than the advancement of mere party. General Taylor, if elected, will ho the President of the people ; Cass would only bo President of a party As to Van Jluren, if he were oven a good and sale man, (which he by no means is,) he is altogether out of the question, i he cannot be elected. The most that cart be hoped, tiy Ins warmest (m uds, is (Wo or three States, and we have not the remotest idea that he will get even one, unless it be Michigan or Wisconsin. All honest opponents of Cass should vole for General Taylor, as a means of accomplishing the most good that can, under present circumstances, uc accom plished. Lift us then go to work in good earnest, and direct every cll'ort lo the attainment of thi result. It run bu done, and if all but do their duty, it Kill be done. Up, friends I and at it ! Mr Van Iluruu's Couuccliou with Rlnvery. We received, soiuo day since, from a highly ro-wc table source, a communication stating, and offering to furnish tho proof, that Martin Van Huren i now, and has been for years, connected in business and in interest with a Southern planter, in the cultivation of an extensive plantation in one of tho Southern States. We know little about tho truth of the report, and care infinitely less. If it is true, it may account for Mr. Van Huren' Southern predilections, as exhibited for many year in his political course; and if it could be proven conclusively, would doubtless go far to aid his pretensions to the Presidency. As it is (and thi article is intended as a notice to our correspondent,) wo decline making publication of any testimony however conclusive up"ii thu subject. Wo proved John U. Weller a felonious defaulter ; it is said lo have aided hi pretensions lo a respectable office. We have shown Gen. Cass to bo a most avari cious and extortionate pilferer from the public treasury; that testimony ii cited as an evidence of his statesmanship. Gen. Cais is a Northern doughface, and Win. O. Uuth-r a slaveholder; yet what Free Soil leader does not prefer their election, pledged as they arc to use their exertion lo prevent alt measures for tho preven tion of the spread of slavery, to that of Gen. Taylor nod Millard rillmorer lew men can boast of more intenne political and personal profligacy than F.dson II. Olds and Charles Switxer, yet they have been elec ted over the heads of worthy men, through the instrumentality of conscience politicians ! Why should we add to Mr. Van Uuren's pretensions, by proving that, in addition to his other eminent qualifications, ho is a slaveholder ? Wo can do no such thing. Pennsylvania has Heeled ZAriiAiir Taylor Presi dent of the United Slates nothing now remains but to fulhl the tonus of an elecifn on the th day of No vemher. Aurth .tuurican. A little loo fast, neighbor ! A victory for Win. F Johnston, an avowed friend of Free S"il, is not exactly the same thing as a victory lor Old Xnck, the hero of' an unconstitutional and atrocious war, tho Louisiana planter and the owner of tim e hundred slave. Johnston received the vote o( thousands who would sooner submit to martyrdom ihuii bestow their suffrage uhii a warrior and a slaveholder, llio r ruo boil party, w hich, for very satisfactory reasons, did not enter ml the Stale canvass, will be found in the field on tho?th ot November. The foregoing is from tho Philadelphia Republic, a Free Soil Van Ituren paper, and gives in its assertion and admissions a beautiful idea of tho consistency of that specie ol tho genu political, from it, it ap pears First; that the rrvo Soil men of Pennsylvania did not vote for Johnston, because, although ft Free Soil man, he waa also a W hig. Second; lhat tho Free Soil loader of which thi paper is tho organ, prefer the election of Caaa and Hol ier to that of Taylor and Fillmore, and that endeavor are making to prevent the members of that parly from throwing away their vole upon Van Iliireii, and to in duce them to givo them directly for Cass and Hutler, Third ; lhat litis matter of Free Soil is of no conse quence, except so far a it can bu brought to thu aid of Locofocoism ; and Fourth; lhat Johnston having been elected in oppo sition to Freo Soil, the Stale is safe for Taylor. this city, in utter defiance of the returns. We rejoice to add that the Whigs took very little many because principled against betting, but more because it had come to bo bo settled that Pennsylvania never could go Whig, whatever the first returns might promise, lhat tho infatuation on one itde was matched by the distrust on the other. liut there is no longer room for doubt or misgiving. Gov. Johnston is elected, and the whole aspect of affair changed. Pcnnnylvania has taken her place at tho head of ttie Whig array the ling ship of the Whig armada in the great contest at hand. She is as morally certain to vole for Gen Taylor as any State in the union niter Kentucky, and we think ttie majority is more likely to exceed O.OttO than lo fall below II.OUO. Next to New York, she will probably givo Old ack his largest Stale majority. For the patronage so pow erfully wielded against us in tho late contest now vir tually cl in n ires hands : the certainty ol a Wing ascen dancy next winter in the State, the almost certainly of a like chaugo in the nation, transform everything. Hope will prove more powurlul in the pending contest than DeBpair. The discomfited State office-holder have brought down this avnlaue.lio upon their party. Pennsylvania would pretty surely have voted lor lay lor, hut they havo made her instrumental in turning oilier Stales to his support, and thu converting their party' defeat into a rout, They crowded indecently about the bed side of the dying Gov. Shuiik,aud constrained him to resign just before the breath lelthis body, in order that Mr. Johnston' providential accession lo power should not keep a few of them out of place beyond the 1st of January next. They would not let their chief and benefactor die a Governor lest Mr. Johnston should for a year longer live one. Had they minded their busi ness, iiov. nhiink would have died in office, as wa proper, and Mr. Johnston would have been acting Governor for some seventeen iiioiiIIih. Hut this they could not endure, and to drov Gov. J. to lake tho stump and the V lugs lo do thnr best lor him. Very possibly, this may havu been the turning point in thu Presidential slrutTL'le. " Maine," said Judah Hammond in 1 H 10. "has set tled thi! boundary question between Liberty and Despotism," Unless (lie Whigs should absolutely relax their exertion in view of their brilhant prospect of success and they are not likely to, since llu-y nlway pull hardest with wind and tido in their favor Pennsylvania has dono the country a like, good service In ib'itJ. i tracts from the Speoch ol tho Uou. llulus Tho Locoloco had a meeting at Washington City r'rom tho New York Tribune. Tho i'cunaylvniiin Heftier. There is no longer a shadow of doubt that the Whig have carried Pennsylvania Governor, Congress, I, gislaturo everything. Tho latest return aro not unite as good in the average as the earlier, but insure a majority for Gov. Johnnton of 1 to It.lliKI. If all the counties yet to mine in were to double fo Lougstreth their majorities tor roix, jonnsion would still tm cluv sen. Hut it is not probnblo that they have given Long slreth even so much as Polk' majority. This is an astounding revolution. The party which lives on its empty professions of Demoeracy has never ! been beaten in the Stale contest preceding a Presidential election. Lven when Gen. Harrison carried the Stale, in the tornado of lHn, his inend were beaten neatly i"t,iHII) in the preceding State election. William lleister, who was not supportrd by tho larger portion of the Democracy, was chosen Governor over Findlay in by a close vote, and Joseph Uilnrr in IKi.'iin each case through a serious schism in the ranks of the so-called Democracy ; but a Governor chosen in even handed opposition to what vaunt itself the Democratic parly lias not before been chosen during the Insl forty years. This is not a surprise, though it otitic nearly all calculation. Rarely or never ha there been a more determined contest or a fuller vole. The poll fur Clay and Polk may have exceeded it, but we think no oth er. The olVicial patronage, Statu and National, waa all nn one side, and exerted to tho utmost. It was rendered potent hv (be undouhting confidence of nlol-1 ity lo retain il, without winch patronage is of little avail. Down to the close ol the poll, there was not a Cass man in or out of the Stnle who manifested a doubt nf the result. F.ven at miritiic,hl after election, the Whitfs of this city who could be found in public nl are were bantered to bet against fi,IM0 majority for i.oiigairein. t'p m noon ot Wednesday, one hundred on Lonestreth to eighty wa crowded upon every Whig who would bet In Philadelphia ; and the fatuity went o far that up to K o'clock, the following evening, beli and even odd were pressed upon the Whigs of Tho Enormous lixtrii Allowances of Gcuerul Cut. The following letter from the Hon. Aur.w Stfw Aitr, member of Congress from Pennsylvania, we commend to the grave attention of every member of the Administiation party who are honestly seeking for li-jht and truth. Ihe letter is addressed to the editors of ihe Nalioiiul Intelligencer: Umontowk, Pa., 8ept.2:, 1H4-. Gkkti.kmks : My attention has just been called to two laic number of the " Union, "in which Ihe editor ha devoted ten columns, with Ihe promise of more, lo the examination of my late speech in relation to Gen. Cass's extra pay. Tins is a compliment 1 hardly expected from the editor of the Unicn, and am exceedingly sorry that 1 have given hi in u much trouble und uneasiness. 1 have not time just now to read, much less to comment on these ten columns of cutorial abuse; but, since Mr. Ritchie question tho truth of my statement in regard to Mr. Cass's extra pay, 1 Will refer him to an authority of which he seems to be ignorant, hut will not dure to controvert. 1 refer him toPn-si-dent Polk t message of the 11th ni August last, (Executive document No. Mi,) pritilet since the adjourn ment- Now, 1 charged Gen. Can with taking, while overuor of Michigan and ex-ot!;cm Superintendent f Indian Affairs, Aii-l.r'uTi.'lu' extra pay, over and above the amount of Ins legal and fixed salary of :j-,!,iH)0 a year. Now, I assert that this message, sent in by rresidetit Tola in olicdicncf to a resolution of the House, with (he dociiiuentsapiH-ndeil, sustain and establish every dollar and every ci-lit 1 have charged against General Cass. They do more; they show that Gen. Cass received as .Marshal of Uhioand .Minister lo France, ij,.,i,7litJ (."over ad above the amount of his sularies and hi outfit and return, which, regarded as extra, will make his eilra pay $!'l,-74 1), nnd hi regular and extra pay together, y'J.fl,Vi;il 41. .Now, il my cliarLMtii! lien. Cass with tatting Mil,nJ -Ri extra pay, is juxily denounced by Mr. Riiehic and fus oilier venal lollowers as vindication! and slim ier' of Gi n. Cass, what will they now say of Mr. Polk, who makes it much worc than 1 did i What y say ol Gov. Marev, Secretary of War, D. n, Reirister of the Treasury, P. Hagiier, and John M. McCalla, Heeond and Thud Auditors, who Htislain by their official signatures there statements thus villi tv i ii c and slandering Mr- Cais, and rendering him, if true, (as has been said by Ins friends,) unwoiiliy the supportol any honest maiK IJieao outrageous " charLre beinir established by his eirti frauds, what will my villiticr and slanderers now say? tr e smui see. The President's mesiage and doruuients sustaining these charges are in the bauds of every member of Cotigrecs, where they may bo seen ; and, to facilitate the examination, 1 will refer the inquirer to pages 'J, ft, 4ti, 47, fit), l.Vi, Kill, tt;W and SU. It furthermore amu-ar by those ollicial documents, that Gen. Cass charged snd received as Governor of .Michigan more lhau double the amount o extra pay received by all the other Governors of all the Territories of the United States, from the foundation of the Government up lo llie year If lit. This remarkable fact is established by these records. Can this be right? Can Mr. Ritchie satisfy the people of tins country tint Lewis Cass, while Governor ol Michigan, was justly entitled to double as niurli as all the rest of the Gov ernors of all the other twelve or fifteen territories of thu United States? And it alio appears that a great part of the extra pay allowed by lien. Cuss himself, while lie was Secretary of War, and based upon his otrn mtra alUntanee. These document show also that LewisCnssrt-ceiv-d in addition to his regular salary of A'Jimhi a year, $l.fiUU a year for fuel, ollice rent, Ac, jjfl.MH) a year f'or services beyond the territorial hue of Mirhigan, and also, (if the same time, per day and 4U cents per mile tor making treaties with Ihe Indians, amounting alone, for part of the time, to ;i,U'N) a year, and makitiir, with his regular salnrv and extra allowances, a year, instead of is.tii"i-iimre than $','0 a day, when the law gave hun less I linn H( Hut, not satisfied with all this, it appears that G. n. Cass charg. d and received lor several years, while Governor nl Mirhigan, the pay and emoluments of a captain and iiiarieniinster in the regular army, amounting io up wards of $'.ttl0 per year more, and charged and receiv- d of one tune $h.fiI0 for rations, as well as several thousand dollars for settling his aeeouiil and assisting to form ait Indian code, while in the receipt of all In salaries, regular ana eitra, above uientioiiei. And, what is worse than all this, in July, IKl'i, year titer (ten. Cass whs appointed Secretary of War, he pro. duced an account against Ihe Government, amount, mg to jSt ;t,1',:i IKi, for alleged over-pay im nts, running hack ten or twelve year; V,:il7 l.'un r-'JS for Indi. an annuities ; $111,11 til, in indefinite charge M for Indian Department prior to l.l, ' which, if right, ho could havu retained in any of hisquarterly settlements iitnue uuruig tneso ten or twelve years, prouuemg a balance in his favor of $:i.ri,ll?,'. For this alleged balance a requisition wa drawn (No. if.HHi,) by John Robb, acting Secretary of War, in favor of Lewis Cat, then hoiisclf Secretary of War, on the Treasury, and the money being paid Iho iolllcment stood suspended until 1K1?, when it wa closed by Wm.

When Mr. Ritchie ex- plain these mysttni-s, no win pernap near trout mo again. In conclusion, let meiiijrgesl to Mr. Ritchie the pro. priety of now turning Ins battery nf billingsgate and abuse from me upon President Polk and the otlierraof the Treasury ami War Departments, who havo taken the task of sustaining these charges against Gen.

Delivered at the Massachusetts ll'hig State Convention. " Sir, 1 had the honor, by the favor of a portion of our common constituency, to dj a member of the i niiaoeipuia onvemion; personally, pernaps, anu temporarily a pained and disappointed member, and yet I rejoice at an opportunity, here to-day, lo testify and to declare upon my veracity and my honor that, according to my best knowledge, and to my utmost knowledge and belief, no nomuiatiou was ever more fairly made, applause, no nomination wan over made more exactly in accordance with Iho usage of tho representatives of great parties liku lht, in similar Conventions assembled. " No, fcllow-cilizens. he that ecks a pretext for abandoning his friends, his ting, and his nomination, must linu another reason than the mode in which ttial nomination wa made. There it no doubt at all Hint every gentleman who went into that body, came there, in i lie nrst place, with a preference ot his own. 1 here i no doubt that every oriH indicated his first preference bjr his first vote. Some of us adhered to that first vote ; and some of us again, upon more reflection and more consideration, upon a wider view, exactly as was vxpccieu, anu exactly as wa intended wtton we wore sent there, exactly as a convention of wine, honest and honorable tiieu is intended to do, changed that vole, and rallied upon the nomination. j " Here i the result before you lo day. A fairer! nomination, in all retipccis, sir, or a nomination more i exact'y in accordance with the usages of the parly and the customs of the land, has never yet been exempli- J tied since the organization of thi Government. Sir, the truth of this matter is, thai they who criliciso ttio proceedings of that Convention forget ono great thing that never should be forgotten ; and that is that the l liilauelptiia I on volition was at last essentially a rati fying Convention, and that whs all, sir. The people nominated General Taylor long before the aillnig of mo i iiiiniieipiim Vsoiiveiiliou. me people were Beforehand wilh the politicians in that great nomination. Applause. And the people nro stronger lhau the pol iticians. Renewed cheering The sumiiier auldier and sunshine patriots should remember that. And, sir, it i not quite justice to tho popular judgment of thi country lo say that the lung succes sion ol tnuuiplii, from ralo Alto lo He sac a de la rat-ma and liueua Vista were the reasons of hi nomination. Those glories attracted the public attention to General Taylor ; undoubtedly that attention led to in quiry, and what was tho remit of that inquiry? That fie had been all hi lite long a Wing in hi general opinions nnd in his private mid social connexions ; he hud been all his life long giving his yuuih, his manhood, and his approaching age to hi country ; serving for years in Ihe camp, modestly, yet conspicuously , incorruiiiiolo a ramus or Ciiicmuatus ; a man oi strong, deep, sound, common sense, with a clear head and large In-art ; und, sir, the grea heart of Die peo ple tiisliuclively and magnetically clave to turn upon that discovery. The press everywhere look him up. Conventions in tho free States every whero brought hint forward. Public sentiment began lo rally in his behalf; and 1 apH-ul to every man here present if the members of the Philadelphia Convention were iiolsur-rounded, penetrated, bathed in a public opinion, which came we know not w hence, winch we could not resist, which no man in the Convention, no party, and no State could resist. W tines Vermont and Maine to day. Immense cheering Yea, sir, it w us a nomination by the people, and it only remains now to bo seen whether the people of America are equal to that great function for which a republican people have ever been supposed to he qualified to designate their own Chief Magistrate; and whether they uro able, alter they havo signified their will, to have it carried info ell'ect. Mr. President, 1 beg to say a linglo word in this hurried and desultory manner, without arrangement and without preparation, on another topic ; and that is, the personal qualifications ot General Zachary Taylor, lor that great ollice lu winch we propose to carry him. I felt incumbent upon mo, when that nomination was made, to study the subject lo the best of my ability, I will not say reluctant or incredulous, but with the best lights to study that practical subject ; tod I now avow my belief it signifies nothing hut 1 am proud to unite with you in the avowal of that belief that in hi in- f e personal qualification I be- lievo we have the guaranty ol an administration as honest, quiet and national as that which haacastsuch glory upon the unapproachable name ol ashing ton Aoi'lause Sir, to say lhat General Aachary 1 aylor is a great ml patriotic man is lo say nothing. Martin Van Du reu might say thai of him, and he has said a much again us that of hint, in a resolution which 1 have in my pocket. 1 believe, upon all the evidence to which 1 have had access, that tie possesses in an extraordinary degree the baaii of administrative talent of exactly tlie kind you seek in the Presidential chair. 1 believe, from all the evidence to which I have had access that he is thorough and quick in hi discernment of men reading character accurately, candidly and instanta-ucoiinU. 1 believe that he possesses, in an extraordt. nary degree, the sense, judgment, solid and strung piaiiiie ol mind, of the old Koger bttcrman and ueorge Washington model. " I understand him to bo ft thorough man of bust urss, in the best and largest acceptance nf that term . administering a large estate and a great fortune with as murh ability a a Florida or Mexican campaign. Again, from his youth up from the tune he look up annuo the service of his country tie ha had an un piivocal proof of a superior character, in the confi enco ho receives, without exacting it, from every human being who come within his reach. Add to that the kindness of his hearts-kind as Nelson's kind as woman's and that tolerant humanity and honesty incorruptible which he who knows hun wof Id think no more of assailing than of putting himself within tin.' range of all tho battlements of Monterey, or the hirlwlnds of the Gulf all the world may look upon nu anu say, iir.ur. is a .mas : 11 J hear it aikcd whether he ha the requisite dc grrr of political information and experience in public iitfair. Sir, 1 cannot he'p believing that General achary Taylor i destined, in tho hand of Provi nce, to illustrate; llio truth of that remark of that great observer, hdmund Burke: have many time uncn notice tint men not professionally trained in the iletnils of public, ollice, yet, when called into groat stations, have, by the mere force ol simple discretion, conducted the affair ol nation with distinguished fu iicity ami glory. 1 expect the illustration of that re mark in the eight years or the four year of the adiiiiuis iranon oi ut'ii acuary lay lor. All Ins tito long lie Ins served hia country inadcpirtnimitnf the General Government, enlarging and elevating him above the iiitiuciicei oi mem politic.

Y EVENING, OCTOHEIl 10, 1848. ' The IiORifiliituro. A groat deal of aulicilutlu in tnaiiifestcd among the poopla of Ohio to know what ii lo bo the puliticul complexion of tho next Lexislalure. Ai at presenl'ad-viued, our belief it tlmt in llio Senate there ii a tie; and in tho Home of Representative a Whig majority of four. In thi majority it included the two members elect from Iliimiltnn county, viz : tho firitt eight ward of Cincinnati. We understand that, in making up their ticket and outing their vole in Hamilton county, the Locofocoa io far regarded the law of last winter as to designate two of the candidatei for Rep-rennUlivu as from tho first district, and three as from tho second district; and that tho ticket in framed was voted lor by that party throughout tho county ! And wo learn that tho Judge! of election In one of tho wards rejected, (ai they were bound to do by the law,) alt those votes for Repreitenlativo which contained the names of more persons than thero wore Representatives to ho voted for in their proper district ; wile in tho other wards, tho Judges certified the facts on the pril-bonk, leaving it to the Clerk of tho Court to decide upon the law, and to givo or withhold lis certifi-oatea of election, according to his discretion. Uslrikes us that tho Judges, of election had a plain duty to perform under tho law, and that there should havo been no shrinking from responsibility on their part. The Clerk can only oeitify upon the facts derived through the poll-books; and wo shall not bo surprised if, under the circumstances, he gives certificates to the whole five Locofucos though tho fact shall ho known to him that two have been elected by persons not living in their district ! Thero is one feature of this transaction which exhibits tho conduct of the Hamilton county Locofoco in a light rather unique, to say the least. It is that which shows them to have adopted just so much of the laio as suited their purpose, and rejected the balance ! There is now no law upon tho statute-book authorizing Hamilton county to elect five Representatives, except that of last winter ; and that one requires that two ol the five Representatives shall be chosen by the electors of the first eight wards, and three by tho remainder of the city and county. Yet these gentlemen avail themselves of so much of the law as they like, and without the least ceremony set the balance at nought '. We have been loo long acquainted with Lo cofocoism to be surprised at any ahape. it may assume ; hut this, wo believe, is the first time within our rccol lection that it has attempted ta assume two separate and distinct aspects at one and the same time. One, re specting tho law tho other, putting aside as an iusig nificant thing. Piioor vron Ynoov We observe, with strong sen timents of admiration, that those skillful and accurate lofficians, the editors of the Locoloco prints in Ohio, are claiming with many signs of exultation that the eloction of John 11. Weller to the olhce of Governor, is proof positive that ho did not steal the surplus revenue fund of JIutter county. Admitting tint such is the case, of course these intelligent masters of the art of reasoning will not complain if the converse ol their proposition is also holden to be true. Thus : John 11. Weller is elected; therefore ho did not steal, &c. John 11. Weller ino( elected ; therefore he did steal, &e. Thero is ono thing, however, which these people cem to have left entirely out of the question, and that is, if Mr. Weller did notfraudulently appropriate the funds, who is to pay it back t Will his flection make restitution of tho property, as well a disprove tho act of taking ? IUntrh. Wo never bet never have, and don't intend to ; but there are some who are fund of backing their opinions with their money. This species of argument prove -nothing, and very many good men ourselves among tho number disapprove of the practice. Bat that's of no uonaequence ; sumo wilt do it, and we notice, among one of the incidents of the day, an offer made in the street to the following import: One hundred dollars each that New York and Pcun svlvania give their votes for (ien. Taylor, and one hundred dollars upon the election of Urn. Taylor to tho Presidency. It is said that there will be no dull culty in finding tho mau, when anybody is ready to tako the oiler. Kit nuts from Mr Corwlu'a Speech. Tom Couw in made one of his characteristic speeches, at Carthage, Ohio, on the 3d inat-, of winch we extract the following report of the Cincinnati Gazette: "It is a common expression to say, the 1'resideut holds a high oltiee ; but you who possess tho right of voting for that man, hold a higher ollice limn yo-j can confer on him. You write his name on a piece of paper no longer than the palm ol your hand, and up starts a President for four yearn you create him at your pleasure and destroy him at your pleasure at each re-curring election. Havo you considered the powei this right of voting gives you ? Havu you considered that when ymi vote on the 7lh of November, twenty millions of God's creatures look up to you as tho guardians of their interests for four years and it may ho for a longer period ; and the man who votes carelessly, who says he cares not who is elected, he being the appointed quardian of the interests of tho country shall be held responsible hero and hereafter for thu manner in which he has performed that duty. Applause I do not want to revive any of the old controversies. 1 would bo happy to know ihpy wero blotted out of tlio page of our country's history ; but 1 would auk any man to consider how much power fifteen thousand men in a particular locality in the United Stale held, not only over the destinies and happiness of the people of this country but over those of a neighboring Republic. Two men were presented lo you in 18-14 one, in reference to tho great questions agitated, said, "elect me, and Texas, a country as large in geographical surface as the empire of France, shall bo annexed to the United States, and shall como within the range of our Government, with or without the conscutof Mexico, the parent Republic." " 1 am not going to discuss whether that wero a wrong or right proposition- Another of these- gentlemen, n slaveholder also, Henry Clay, of Kentucky, said, 1 If you elect mo that annexation shall not lake place without the freo consent of Mexico and not tl ien till every State of the old Republic shall express its consent to that annexation.' Cheers 1 presume every body knows, IWun the history of the past four years, that if Henry Clay had been President of the United Slates, Texna would not havo been annexed. Fifteen thousand voles given on that occasion in New York, for a gentleman named liirney, whom nobody expected to elect, wero thrown away. It was all a farce it was not voting at all. If Ibis country, however, was benefitted by that annexation if it be a matter of great interest to the people of Ohio lhat five or six States yet to bo made in the present limits of Texas, shall be settled by her people, whero it shall be law lhat any one man having a hundred negroes filial! havo as much political power as sixty-one inhabiting them plantations if it be a matter of felicity to you that lint Btalo of things is brought about, then these fifteen thousand men did well in keeping Clay out of ollice and bringing Texas in. If it bo a matter of importance that we should hove expended one hundred and seventy millions of dollars in a war with Mexico about tho boundary of Texas if that be a gratifying circumstance to the people of Hamilton county, then these fifteen thousand men did well in keeping Clay out of the Presidential chair. If it were better that one hundred and seventy millions of dollars should Le expended to blow out the brains of a number of young men (who might now have been engaged in their ordinary avocations,) instead of building school-houses and appointing teachers to educate those brains, a laughj then you ought to thank these fifteen thousand gentlemen ol New York for these abolition votes brought about all the hleiwings 1 havo enumerated. If it be a matter of congratulation to this Christian Republic, that now, after paying one hundred cud seventy millions of dollars in conquest, we should pay twenty millions more for the purchase of two provinces, then should we he thankful to the Almighty Ruler of nations that we have got these five hundred thou sand square miles and God bless theso gentlemen, lor we havo got something to quarrel anout. i laugh Really, I think these fifteen thousand men ought in make a tiguro in the hislorv of the country. We shall have occa-ionto thank God thnt they wero born, and lived in Lvl 1, laughter, and that by throwing away their votes, they produce all the glorious results to which 1 have referred. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IT, 1848. Letter from Juduo llurnet. In another column will be found a letter, copied from the Cincinnati Chronicle, from that distinguished veteran in tho Whig cause, which puts at rest the rumors that havo w industriously been whispered about by the Barnburners, that he would support Van Jluren for tho Presidency. We are only surprised that any ono should havu listened lo Ihein for a moment. For ourselves, wo havo never had a doubt bout the mailer. Tho Judge is loo old a soldier in thn Whig cause, and has been too intimately identified with iU trials and its triumphs, lobe led away by new creeds, or to give any countenance to thoso who seem only ambitious to ruin whero they cannot rule. The letter indicates that in Ihe Presidential contest, the Judge will be found where he has always been first among the foremost in the support of our candidates. Cm. .Mas. Cit:iK!tvri, August 31st, 1K8. Gr.STi.KtN : I havo the honor of receiving your letter, written on behalf of thu W h'gs ?f Vigo county, friendly to the nominations of Gen. Taylor and Millard Fillmore, in which you invite me to bo present nl a mass meeting, to be held at Fort Harrison, on the .'tlh ol Sepleiiilwr, the anniversary of the defence of that post, by the gallant Taylor, in the war of Irltf. and in whirli you express a belief, lhat " the proposed meeting will be a mighty assemblage "f the people." 1 hope and trust that this opinion may bo verified, because I firmly believe lhat on tho result of the ap-nroarhimr contest depends the perpetuity or the dis solution of the irreat Whig party of the United States tho nartv which, in Ihe language of tho distin guished orator and statesman of Massachusetts is the. only star ta be seen ahure the horizon calculated to flire us UgU in (As dirk and troubltd night that is up on us. Should the ijrnif fatnits, got up in the mongrel Con vention at Uutfulo. bewilder and mislead as many Whins, heretofore truo lo ilieir party, ta some of its advocates have ventured to predict, it will bo within the range of probabilities, thai tho nominees of the Whi Convention of Philadelphia may bo defeated, as was the case in 1CJI, by tho agency ot a similar defection, which brought on our country the annexation of Texas, with her slave popuUlion, and tho Mexican war with all its attendant evils. It is well known that the Presidential candidate selected at Philadelphia was not my first choice, but that after the selection had been fairly made and promulgated, bv those to whom lhat trut had been delegated, my personal preferences were Immediately given up, without reluctance, under a full conviction that llm distinguished men nominated by lhat body, were gen uilie, unflinching Wings, and would, if elected, carry out in good raiih, all tho principles of our political cried. It cannot be necessary, on lliii occasion, to rrrapitu-Int.. those nrmcinlca. Suffice it in say. that they are tho same, which wero illustrated in Ilia administration of every President ol the United nifties, troui mo miner of his country to the venerated John tjuincy Adams, inclusive, being the same glorious principles, by tho agency of which, under the guidance ot those distill gin-lied patriots, tho American people rose from poverty to wealth from imbecility to power, and from the vale of otitcurity to the pinnacle of national glory, with rapidity unequalled in the history of the world. Thso same prinriplea aro professed by General Tavlor and Millard Fillmore, who will carry them fBiilit'nlltf into nrnetice. unless their election nhall be defeated by the discordant movements of the Whig party. I regret, gentlemen, that if will not be in my power lo moot my brother Whigs at Fort Harrison, rendered memorable by tho early achievements of the distinguished hero whose name now floats on the W hig banner throughout tho United otaies, anu who is uca lined, as 1 venlv believe, to carry that banner triumphantly to I ho Presidential Chair. Very respectfully, jour brother Whig, ' J. llURNET. " I have stood upon the plains of Marathon, the battle field of liberty.' tien. Co. And wo suppose that, notwithstanding tho terrible hauls took plaee titer only a few thousand years ago, you were not frightened at all. Oh, what courago ! Vrtntict, Whig MeHJiiir. On Saturday tho 7th day of October, the Whigs as sembled in the Court House, and were addresned by R. C. Uurd, the Elector on llio 'inylor ticket in this district, in a clear, calm and forcible manner, portraying the evil consequence of an elongation of the present ruling d nasty, in the person if Lewis Cass. Alter mr. I turd had closed Ins remarks, tne lion. Columbus Delano was called to the stand; and for about two hours, poured tho hotshot into ttie rotten hull ol LocoIocoihiu With more than his accustomed zeal, power and eloquence. We will not pretend to follow him in his remarks ; but will notice some of tha poinls in his speech, which show hun to bo thoroughly Whig although as strongly tinctured with Freesoihsm as nny man that b real he the vital air; and one that would go as fur and sacrifice as much as nny living limn to establish the principles of tho ordinance of I7r7, in the newly acquired territories. After noticing the dangerous results that nuifht follow the Locoloco design of didorL'aur'iug the Stale government, depriving Ohio of a Governor, and alm of a Senator in Congrens, when ihe important question of nlavery in the territories, is to be decided, and thereby rendering tho defeat of thu Wilmot Proviso almost certain.He then proceeded to discuss the immense power of pitronaife, wielded by the President and deprecated the influence which had been exercised over the member of Congress, by means of it in overawing some and buying others, to defeat some of the most vital questions Ilinl has ever been agitated in Congress, or to force through measures that were highly injurious to the interi-nt and welfare of Ihe people, and the government. He then denounced tin; veto, a exercised by the late Presidents, as a kingly power, used to stifle the will of a majority of the people, as known and publicly and deliberately expressed through thuir Representatives in Congress. lie then proceded lo notice the positions ot me several candidates for (lie Presidency He disapproved of Mr. van liuren political creed wun inu single exception of the principle of freedom in the new lei ri tones. He condemned in strong terms, his countenance and support of the admiuinlralieu, throughout the Mexican war of conquest. Without, howevr, going into a very rnlical examination of the life and character of this suprrunnntio Locoloco, he stated that from Ihe present indications, the contest seemed to be entirely between Taylor and Cass. With the latter he said we had nothing to hope for, but Locufocoism in general and slavery extension in particular with the former Wo had the certainty of Whig ascendancy in general and as to tho particular though his position uti the question of slaveiy extension was by no means as sutislactory to hun as he could desire still thero was reasonable goimd to hoc tlmt General Taylor would not interfere by his patronage or veto, with tin all important question. Tho nomination of General Taylor had been, and still was very unaccrpiitble to him ; but he felt bound, he said, as a good citixen and true W big not to aid in the election of Lwib Cm, snd he declared his determination if the contest should continue as he supposed it would, lo lie lie I ween Taylor anil Cass, to east his vole for Gen. Taylor The announcement of his du termination, was received by the audience with shout of applause, The resolution of the eloquent speaker, it seems to us is the only rational conclusion that any iruo Whig can arrive at. May the same manly spirit animate all doubting Whigs, and lhat quickly. Mt. I'crtwn True Whip. When the vote waa taken in the V, 8.

No ! And now we behold tho Liberty party standing on the tame platfurm with those very men whoso vote secured ttie annexation of Texas and tho extension of nlavery ! Does it occupy the same impolitic ground it did in 1H4 I f Or is it wedded to that bratieh of Loco-focoUm, that light for Iho " Si'oii. ? " IlartJ'ord Lou runt. If Gen. Taylor is elected he will do more to curb the Spirit of Conquest and check the spread ol Slavery than any other the Whijra could fleet." JOHN IHIINCY ADAMS. The Bage of Quinry could read as plainly the Irared lines of a man's character as could most men of his time. The mild firmni its and elevated patriotism of John Quilt cy Admis discerned in the pure and unsullied character of Zachary Taylor, he thought the safest qualification of any candidate for an American' support. The voice of the revered Adams conies lo us at this time, full of prophetic advice and warning llartj'urd four ant. Dri.Aw auk. The Inspectors' election in thi Statu ha resulted in an aggregate Whig majority of HW. Wo do not think there need be any more doubt, if thero has been any, of Delaware voting for Taylor and Fillmore.

Look Well to your Ticket. Wo observo in some of our Whig exchange, ono or two errors in the name of tho individual composing Iho Whig Electoral Ticket. For example, the Elector for the (ith District is sometimes printed Isaiah Scott, instead ofJiuia-A Scott; and for the 8th District, llio name of Gen. Green is spelled with an e final, which i wrong. We havo taken pain that the list printed in tho State Journal bo correct, and believe it is entirely accurate and would recommend to our brethren of tho pros lo compara their carefully with it. Piqun KcKinter. This sterling Whig paper, which never hesitalesin the advocacy of Whig principles, was slow in taking position as an advocate of Ihe elcctmn ot General Tavlok. During all tho period of its delay in this particular, wo havo observed that it has prudently and with great propriety abstained from assaults upon the Whig nominee, and from unworthy imputations upon thu motives of those who made, and thoso who support the nomination. Tho editor had his reasons for pausing before ho should make his final determination of preference lor a presidential candidate. It wuahis unquestionable right to pause, until he could satisfy his own mind as to the propriety of the course he wo called upon to adopt. Ho doubted tho propriety of the nomination made by his political friends; and so doubling, he delayed to givo to that nomination his sanction, until those doubts should be removed. Is he to be condemned for this? Wo trow not. Wo ro-gard it n precisely one of those cases contemplated by Mr. Jefferson, when he gavo utterance lo the immortal sentiment Ilia " error of opinion may be safely tolerated, while reason is left freo to combat it." And this inatauco affords a hnppy illustration ol the truth of that sentiment. Entertaining doubts as to what was his duty, he paused until reason should do its work. He did not give himself up to factious op. position, and turn upon his associates with reproaches; nor, lending himself to tho result of chances, press forward, not knowing whither ho went. He came to a stand, and there awaited until the clouds of darkness and night should pass away, and discluse a safe cynosure to guide his steps in tho way of duty and of safety. The mills have passed away day has duwucd and tho editor's course lies plainly disclosed before him. He speaks, in hi paper ol Saturday fast hear him : "Wo insert, to day, tho Whig Electoral Ticket of tins Mate. When, as is now llio case, too selection of a President must he inadu between two such men as General Taylor and General Cuss, wo ennnot hesitate as to our duty. The choicu is now from these; all others are out of Ihe question. When the merits of tho Iwo are carefully considered and compared, those of Gen. Taylor stiind out pre-eminently abjve those of his competitor, and entitle him to the support of all who think more of promoting the true interests of Ihe country than the advancement of mere party. General Taylor, if elected, will ho the President of the people ; Cass would only bo President of a party As to Van Jluren, if he were oven a good and sale man, (which he by no means is,) he is altogether out of the question, i he cannot be elected. The most that cart be hoped, tiy Ins warmest (m uds, is (Wo or three States, and we have not the remotest idea that he will get even one, unless it be Michigan or Wisconsin. All honest opponents of Cass should vole for General Taylor, as a means of accomplishing the most good that can, under present circumstances, uc accom plished. Lift us then go to work in good earnest, and direct every cll'ort lo the attainment of thi result. It run bu done, and if all but do their duty, it Kill be done. Up, friends I and at it !

We received, soiuo day since, from a highly ro-wc table source, a communication stating, and offering to furnish tho proof, that Martin Van Huren i now, and has been for years, connected in business and in interest with a Southern planter, in the cultivation of an extensive plantation in one of tho Southern States. We know little about tho truth of the report, and care infinitely less. If it is true, it may account for Mr. Van Huren' Southern predilections, as exhibited for many year in his political course; and if it could be proven conclusively, would doubtless go far to aid his pretensions to the Presidency. As it is (and thi article is intended as a notice to our correspondent,) wo decline making publication of any testimony however conclusive up"ii thu subject. Wo proved John U. Weller a felonious defaulter ; it is said lo have aided hi pretensions lo a respectable office. We have shown Gen. Cass to bo a most avari cious and extortionate pilferer from the public treasury; that testimony ii cited as an evidence of his statesmanship. Gen. Cais is a Northern doughface, and Win. O. Uuth-r a slaveholder; yet what Free Soil leader does not prefer their election, pledged as they arc to use their exertion lo prevent alt measures for tho preven tion of the spread of slavery, to that of Gen. Taylor nod Millard rillmorer lew men can boast of more intenne political and personal profligacy than F.dson II. Olds and Charles Switxer, yet they have been elec ted over the heads of worthy men, through the instrumentality of conscience politicians ! Why should we add to Mr. Van Uuren's pretensions, by proving that, in addition to his other eminent qualifications, ho is a slaveholder ? Wo can do no such thing. Pennsylvania has Heeled ZAriiAiir Taylor Presi dent of the United Slates nothing now remains but to fulhl the tonus of an elecifn on the th day of No vemher. Aurth .tuurican. A little loo fast, neighbor ! A victory for Win. F Johnston, an avowed friend of Free S"il, is not exactly the same thing as a victory lor Old Xnck, the hero of' an unconstitutional and atrocious war, tho Louisiana planter and the owner of tim e hundred slave. Johnston received the vote o( thousands who would sooner submit to martyrdom ihuii bestow their suffrage uhii a warrior and a slaveholder, llio r ruo boil party, w hich, for very satisfactory reasons, did not enter ml the Stale canvass, will be found in the field on tho?th ot November. The foregoing is from tho Philadelphia Republic, a Free Soil Van Ituren paper, and gives in its assertion and admissions a beautiful idea of tho consistency of that specie ol tho genu political, from it, it ap pears First; that the rrvo Soil men of Pennsylvania did not vote for Johnston, because, although ft Free Soil man, he waa also a W hig. Second; lhat tho Free Soil loader of which thi paper is tho organ, prefer the election of Caaa and Hol ier to that of Taylor and Fillmore, and that endeavor are making to prevent the members of that parly from throwing away their vole upon Van Iliireii, and to in duce them to givo them directly for Cass and Hutler, Third ; lhat litis matter of Free Soil is of no conse quence, except so far a it can bu brought to thu aid of Locofocoism ; and Fourth; lhat Johnston having been elected in oppo sition to Freo Soil, the Stale is safe for Taylor. this city, in utter defiance of the returns. We rejoice to add that the Whigs took very little many because principled against betting, but more because it had come to bo bo settled that Pennsylvania never could go Whig, whatever the first returns might promise, lhat tho infatuation on one itde was matched by the distrust on the other. liut there is no longer room for doubt or misgiving. Gov. Johnston is elected, and the whole aspect of affair changed. Pcnnnylvania has taken her place at tho head of ttie Whig array the ling ship of the Whig armada in the great contest at hand. She is as morally certain to vole for Gen Taylor as any State in the union niter Kentucky, and we think ttie majority is more likely to exceed O.OttO than lo fall below II.OUO. Next to New York, she will probably givo Old ack his largest Stale majority. For the patronage so pow erfully wielded against us in tho late contest now vir tually cl in n ires hands : the certainty ol a Wing ascen dancy next winter in the State, the almost certainly of a like chaugo in the nation, transform everything. Hope will prove more powurlul in the pending contest than DeBpair. The discomfited State office-holder have brought down this avnlaue.lio upon their party. Pennsylvania would pretty surely have voted lor lay lor, hut they havo made her instrumental in turning oilier Stales to his support, and thu converting their party' defeat into a rout, They crowded indecently about the bed side of the dying Gov. Shuiik,aud constrained him to resign just before the breath lelthis body, in order that Mr. Johnston' providential accession lo power should not keep a few of them out of place beyond the 1st of January next. They would not let their chief and benefactor die a Governor lest Mr. Johnston should for a year longer live one. Had they minded their busi ness, iiov. nhiink would have died in office, as wa proper, and Mr. Johnston would have been acting Governor for some seventeen iiioiiIIih. Hut this they could not endure, and to drov Gov. J. to lake tho stump and the V lugs lo do thnr best lor him. Very possibly, this may havu been the turning point in thu Presidential slrutTL'le. " Maine," said Judah Hammond in 1 H 10. "has set tled thi! boundary question between Liberty and Despotism," Unless (lie Whigs should absolutely relax their exertion in view of their brilhant prospect of success and they are not likely to, since llu-y nlway pull hardest with wind and tido in their favor Pennsylvania has dono the country a like, good service In ib'itJ. i tracts from the Speoch ol tho Uou. llulus Tho Locoloco had a meeting at Washington City r'rom tho New York Tribune.

Tho latest return aro not unite as good in the average as the earlier, but insure a majority for Gov. Johnnton of 1 to It.lliKI. If all the counties yet to mine in were to double fo Lougstreth their majorities tor roix, jonnsion would still tm cluv sen. Hut it is not probnblo that they have given Long slreth even so much as Polk' majority. This is an astounding revolution. The party which lives on its empty professions of Demoeracy has never ! been beaten in the Stale contest preceding a Presidential election. Lven when Gen. Harrison carried the Stale, in the tornado of lHn, his inend were beaten neatly i"t,iHII) in the preceding State election. William lleister, who was not supportrd by tho larger portion of the Democracy, was chosen Governor over Findlay in by a close vote, and Joseph Uilnrr in IKi.'iin each case through a serious schism in the ranks of the so-called Democracy ; but a Governor chosen in even handed opposition to what vaunt itself the Democratic parly lias not before been chosen during the Insl forty years. This is not a surprise, though it otitic nearly all calculation. Rarely or never ha there been a more determined contest or a fuller vole. The poll fur Clay and Polk may have exceeded it, but we think no oth er. The olVicial patronage, Statu and National, waa all nn one side, and exerted to tho utmost. It was rendered potent hv (be undouhting confidence of nlol-1 ity lo retain il, without winch patronage is of little avail. Down to the close ol the poll, there was not a Cass man in or out of the Stnle who manifested a doubt nf the result. F.ven at miritiic,hl after election, the Whitfs of this city who could be found in public nl are were bantered to bet against fi,IM0 majority for i.oiigairein. t'p m noon ot Wednesday, one hundred on Lonestreth to eighty wa crowded upon every Whig who would bet In Philadelphia ; and the fatuity went o far that up to K o'clock, the following evening, beli and even odd were pressed upon the Whigs of Tho Enormous lixtrii Allowances of Gcuerul Cut. The following letter from the Hon. Aur.w Stfw Aitr, member of Congress from Pennsylvania, we commend to the grave attention of every member of the Administiation party who are honestly seeking for li-jht and truth. Ihe letter is addressed to the editors of ihe Nalioiiul Intelligencer: Umontowk, Pa., 8ept.2:, 1H4-. Gkkti.kmks : My attention has just been called to two laic number of the " Union, "in which Ihe editor ha devoted ten columns, with Ihe promise of more, lo the examination of my late speech in relation to Gen.

Tins is a compliment 1 hardly expected from the editor of the Unicn, and am exceedingly sorry that 1 have given hi in u much trouble und uneasiness. 1 have not time just now to read, much less to comment on these ten columns of cutorial abuse; but, since Mr. Ritchie question tho truth of my statement in regard to Mr. Cass's extra pay, 1 Will refer him to an authority of which he seems to be ignorant, hut will not dure to controvert. 1 refer him toPn-si-dent Polk t message of the 11th ni August last, (Executive document No. Mi,) pritilet since the adjourn ment- Now, 1 charged Gen.

Now, I assert that this message, sent in by rresidetit Tola in olicdicncf to a resolution of the House, with (he dociiiuentsapiH-ndeil, sustain and establish every dollar and every ci-lit 1 have charged against General Cass. They do more; they show that Gen.

The President's mesiage and doruuients sustaining these charges are in the bauds of every member of Cotigrecs, where they may bo seen ; and, to facilitate the examination, 1 will refer the inquirer to pages 'J, ft, 4ti, 47, fit), l.Vi, Kill, tt;W and SU. It furthermore amu-ar by those ollicial documents, that Gen. Cass charged snd received as Governor of .Michigan more lhau double the amount o extra pay received by all the other Governors of all the Territories of the United States, from the foundation of the Government up lo llie year If lit. This remarkable fact is established by these records. Can this be right? Can Mr. Ritchie satisfy the people of tins country tint Lewis Cass, while Governor ol Michigan, was justly entitled to double as niurli as all the rest of the Gov ernors of all the other twelve or fifteen territories of thu United States? And it alio appears that a great part of the extra pay allowed by lien. Cuss himself, while lie was Secretary of War, and based upon his otrn mtra alUntanee.

" Sir, 1 had the honor, by the favor of a portion of our common constituency, to dj a member of the i niiaoeipuia onvemion; personally, pernaps, anu temporarily a pained and disappointed member, and yet I rejoice at an opportunity, here to-day, lo testify and to declare upon my veracity and my honor that, according to my best knowledge, and to my utmost knowledge and belief, no nomuiatiou was ever more fairly made, applause, no nomination wan over made more exactly in accordance with Iho usage of tho representatives of great parties liku lht, in similar Conventions assembled. " No, fcllow-cilizens. he that ecks a pretext for abandoning his friends, his ting, and his nomination, must linu another reason than the mode in which ttial nomination wa made.

A fairer! nomination, in all retipccis, sir, or a nomination more i exact'y in accordance with the usages of the parly and the customs of the land, has never yet been exempli- J tied since the organization of thi Government. Sir, the truth of this matter is, thai they who criliciso ttio proceedings of that Convention forget ono great thing that never should be forgotten ; and that is that the l liilauelptiia I on volition was at last essentially a rati fying Convention, and that whs all, sir.

Mr. President, 1 beg to say a linglo word in this hurried and desultory manner, without arrangement and without preparation, on another topic ; and that is, the personal qualifications ot General Zachary Taylor, lor that great ollice lu winch we propose to carry him. I felt incumbent upon mo, when that nomination was made, to study the subject lo the best of my ability, I will not say reluctant or incredulous, but with the best lights to study that practical subject ; tod I now avow my belief it signifies nothing hut 1 am proud to unite with you in the avowal of that belief that in hi in- f e personal qualification I be- lievo we have the guaranty ol an administration as honest, quiet and national as that which haacastsuch glory upon the unapproachable name ol ashing ton Aoi'lause Sir, to say lhat General Aachary 1 aylor is a great ml patriotic man is lo say nothing. Martin Van Du reu might say thai of him, and he has said a much again us that of hint, in a resolution which 1 have in my pocket. 1 believe, upon all the evidence to which 1 have had access, that tie possesses in an extraordinary degree the baaii of administrative talent of exactly tlie kind you seek in the Presidential chair. 1 believe, from all the evidence to which I have had access that he is thorough and quick in hi discernment of men reading character accurately, candidly and instanta-ucoiinU. 1 believe that he possesses, in an extraordt. nary degree, the sense, judgment, solid and strung piaiiiie ol mind, of the old Koger bttcrman and ueorge Washington model.

Again, from his youth up from the tune he look up annuo the service of his country tie ha had an un piivocal proof of a superior character, in the confi enco ho receives, without exacting it, from every human being who come within his reach.
