Look at the votes of the Whigs in Con gress on the Oregon Every Whig member from the Free Slates not only voted for the but labored night and day to secure its What better Free Soil party do the Abolitionists want than the Whig party If they expected to prevent the further extension of they had chosen a most strange and singu lar mode of effecting so desirable an by voting for Mr Van and arraying themselves against the Who is Mr Van and what has he done to commend himself to the favorable notice of tbe opponents of Slavery asked Mr Cor Has he not done all he could do to all he had and

the sun went down on the fol lowing day he should no longer be among the Should it be his fate to die on j the field of she should not give way I to overwhelming she was a soldiers should bear he misfortune with becoming fortitude It was thus that Taylor wrote t his wife on the eve of marvellous bat tie His conduct exhibited for in Il is rare that such an in stance of the moral sublime is presented t he consideration of From the Louisville General Lana and We a letter from twen respectable citizens of Newburg confirming substantially the statemen of the three gentlemen who wrote to u from that town a few weeks ago in rela tion to the charges of falsehood made by Lane against Taylor in a speech at that Unquestionably the writers of the letter in our paper of today state the whole affair with scrupulous correct Undoubtedly General Lane in his speech charged Taylor with willful as he has according to several papers of in liis subsequent and as he has done in his printed address to the pub The three gentlemen who first wrote us from Newburg probably spoke rather carelessly and loosely in saying that Lane denounced Taylor as a having used no such outrageous terms in charging his old commander with a violation of the The statement of those gentlemen was however correct in When Lane called at our with the apparent frankness of a sol win strengthen Slavery And is he not pledged in his Utica letter to veto any Congress may pass for the abolition of Slavery in the District of should he again be elected President Is he in favor of free speech Look at his vote when he was Vice President of the United States a was then introduced into the United States allowing Southern Postmasters to open or intercept any news papers or other printed suspected of being adverse to and 18 Senators voted for and 18 against the Martin Van Buren gave the in our paper of today state s to the language used by Lane in elation to us and our paper in his New Durg speech is confirmed by another and much longer communication from a highly espectable Lane denounced our laper as mendacious and said we had nev er told twenty truths in our and this he came into our and by way of inducing us to pub ish a paragraph suited to his the most exalted regard for that he entertained greater admi ation for the Journal than for any other and asked that his name should ic entered upon our regular list of sub We still believe that Lane s a brave but it is indeed a ery to us how any one human being so strikingly combine the characters of the rave soldier and the sneaking hypocrite To the Editors of the Louisville Journal the citizens of War rick heard the speech of at on the 5th of August We have also seen a letter written from Newburgh by three gentle men in relation to that We have also seen an editorial in your paper say jng that Lane denied having accused Taylor of and that he be Taylor incapable of telling a And you say that you think the three gentlemen must have misunder stood General Lanes Now we liave no desire to become mixed up in a political but this in some mea become a question of veracity be tween the three gentlemen and and having heard the speech we deem it our duty to in relation to this the statement of the three gentle men is substantially for we dis understood General Lane to charge Taylor with We would make this further statement in relation to that speech He said that the Louisville Journal had stated that the Mexican war was an unjust and unholy and a war against which was the leading Whig paper of the and that Prentice was the leading and had never told twenty truths in his David John Chester Samuel John James Ananias dier and a assured as he had previously assured the editors of the that he not only had not de Taylor as a liar but that he considered him utterly incapable of false we unhesitatingly gave full credit to his If we had whilst he was making these that he had unequivocally charged Taylor in his speeches with making false knowing them to be that he would go right back to Indiana and make the same charge in other and that he in less than one repeat it in every variety of form in a writ ten address to the we should have scorned even with all his laurels upon his as one of the very meanest of What the twentyfive signers of the HOW THEY is well in the Locofoco leaders are assiduous in their efforts to promote the prospects of Cuss and Butler bv representing gentlemen as thor ough There isnt a paper in Indiana or Ohio but asserts that Cass and Butler are the most determined opponents of that the whole hope of the Abolition cause rests upon their On Friday evening ws saw a gentleman from Northern who informed us that all the in that region are busily circulating a story that But from an unconquerable has set the whole of hii own slaves free Our informant assures us that he has actually heard story told and boldly vouched for by the Locofoco speakers at several meetings There is no lie too gross and monstrous for the use of these Locofoco When these Northern Locofocos assert that Butler is an Abolitionist either in theory or practice they utter a which he himself would resent as a dead ly When they say that Cass is an the statement may be true and it may be He has been upon all sides of all questions connected will and upon what side of those tions he is now nobody can his Northern life and his Southern life being at direct issue upon the The thing certain that any party which may trust whether it be the Northern par ty or the Southern will be exceed ingly likely to find itself fooled and COLLEGE is Mr formerly Governor of Liberia made some statements before a meeting in the Broadway to the effec that 200 slaves had been near by the Ross that the estate to which they valued at about and that all the real and except the who were given their was destined first to defray the expenses of their passage to a settlement in and was to found a college on the same The fact has since been communicated to that this ample property has been so wast ed by protracted that the pre sent cotton crop of the estate will scarcely pay the while these hopes have proved a movement is now making which promises lair to re pair the previous and found on the shores of Africa an institution which shall grow up with the people and mould their of The following outline of Mr Haskells peech we take from the New York Ex It was recently delivered at Brook yn of was he next He said he was happy 0 have this opportunity to meet the Whigs f And as he stood on hat though he could not discern me single familiar and though his oot was not upon his native the saw his clansmen all around and felt he was not a The Chairman had just an that he represented in Congress he district once represented by the cele rated David It was He was proud of David and he was to represent a district that he bad He was the first to raise the standard of rebellion against that Andrew and strike for freedom under Henry Tre mendous His district was not only a good Whig but an anti Henry Zachary Taylor Loud There were hree candidates now before the people for he highest office in their From these we must choose a He followed standard of Zachary And he knew that the Loco sus that they would rather have cho ien to follow the banner of their cherished cheers were shedding croc odile tears at the ingratitude with which say that great man had been treated jy the Whig National Mr Haskell said there was no better Clay man When the storm of swept over and every sail was shivered in the he was proud to say that his district still gave a good Clay ma They tell us Taylor lias no platform What platform needs he Make platforms for sunk in with a needs on ly such What platform did they give you at the Baltimore Convention a long se ries of in tbe first what every body affirmed and deny in the second what everybody everything in and nothing in It was said that Taylor had no political princi if Whigs supported they abandoned the platform of Henry Let us We struggled long for a United States Do you want a Bank now Cries of But I tell if there be any chance to make one in it shall have my vote and all my efforts for I confess I have still a lingering affection for that old principle If the representatives of the people see fit to create a National or any thing Taylor tells you he will interpose no obstacle to the free expression of their Could Henry Clay do more So far as all the principles of the party are Whigs are just as safe in voting for Zachary Taylor in as in voting for Henry Clay in And then the gentleman went on rapidly to glance at the peculiar and distinctive characteristics of the Whig and what called itself the true ing that the former only were identified with the best interests of the latter with everything mischievous The of Cass was and his hollowhearted hy to the dear people exposed in a most masterly Locofocoism said Mr Haskell was endeavoring to create the impression that the Whigs of the South intended to repudiate Millard 1 tell you the Whigs of tbe South are not nor to be made answerable for the doings of the Locofocos of Charles The Whig party of
