MAKE HASTE TO BE RICH. BT n. W. BEECHER. Men are warned in the Bible against mak'mg haste to be rich. "He that hast eth to be rich hath an evil eye, attd con sidereth not that poverty shall comn upon liim." This is spokcn not of the alacrity of enterprise, but of the prccipitancy of avarice. That is an evil cye which leads man into troable by incorrcct vision. When a tnan seeks to prosper by crafty iricks, instead of carcful industr) when a man's inordinate covetousness pushes him across the line of honesly, that he mny sooner clutch the prize when gam bling spcculalion would reap where it had notsown when men gain riclies by crimes there is an evil cye, which guides them throuzh a specious prospcrity, to inevita Lle ruin.

It is a very common error with parents, in determining upon the future occupa tions of their children, to fix upon a pro fcss'nn, or some sedentary employment, for ihr?e of a weakly or dclicate constitu tion while to the robnst and vigorous, is asstgncd a more active and laborious oc cipation, demanding considerable bodily ctertion, and repeated exposure to the o ?"n air. As a general rule, the very op posite course should be pursued the ro bust being the best able to bear up against tlis pernicious efTecls of that confinement and inactivity, to which the enfeebled constitution will very speedily fall a prey the lattcr will be materially benefitted by the very exertion and exposure to which it is supposed to be unadapted. "When we examine the individuals who compose the variout; trades and occupa t.-.ns, and fiud certain classes to present, very commonly, a palc, meagre and sick ly aspect, while othcrs are replete with health, vigor and strength; we are not to Mppose that because the pursuits of one demand but little, and those of the other considerable bodily strensth, the first are best adapted to tbe weakly, and the latter to the strona we are rather to ascribe this Tery difference in their appearance, to the influence their several occupations t upon the heaith of the syetem. Lct the most healthy and vigoroqs ifldj- vidual exchange his laborious occupation in tne open air, lor one which requircs confinement within doors, and but little exercise, and his florid complexion, well developed muscles, and uninterrupted health, will very speedily give place to paleness. more or less emzciation, and debility,and occasionally to actual disease of the stomach and lungs. On the other hand, the reverse efTecls will beproduced, by thc sedentary exclianging, before it is too late, their conhnement and mactiviiv, for some activc emplovment in the open air. These are important considerations, an attention to which, in the choice of a profession, would be the mcans of saving not a little sufiering, in many instances. ot prolongmg lifc.

Iloldinc mvsclf rcsponsible to my constitu- ency for my official conduct, I dccm an expla- nation oi my course on a reccnt occasion uuc both to that constituency and myself. Mueb cxcitemcnt seems to have occurred in rclation to thc bill for the establislraient of Govcrn- ment in the newly acquircd tcrritory, (com monly callcd the Comprorniso bill,") rcport- eu by the belect t,ommittee ot the benate, ot which Lomimttee I was member anil some strieturcs, uot very favorablc, have been made in th public prints upon my connexion Trith that nieasure.

Iu thc mcan time, lavail myself of the car liest lcisure aflcr bcing rcleased fioin a most arduous and fatiguing session, loask a suspen sion of opinion until thc grounds of my action can bc understood. At tlie same time, it will not bc inipropcr to corrcct the very great mis approhenbion which Iias prcvailcd in relation to tliat nieasure. The bill was in the outsct grossly misrcpresentcd, and, ol course, grossly aiisunden.lood and, to a very grcat extent, was condcmned before its import and cffect were known. I votcu for that bul with a scltlcu convic tion, that its efTect would be thc utlerand ab- solutc exclusion of Slaverv from all those ter- ritorics. 'I he sincerity of that conviction.and of my purpose to ellect that exclusion, 1 ven ture to say. no mcmber of ibe Senate, of any party, doubls. That such would have been the efTect of the bill, had it become a law, so f.ir as thc legislation of Congrcss can cffect that objcct, I maintain now. And I do so by a course of arcumcnt used in vindication of mv course before thc Senatc, which no merabcrof that body vcnturcd to controvcrt. Its sound- nesa wa3 admittcd by political fricnds and po litical ocponcnts, by thoc who advonated and those who opposed the bill. An epitome will be civen. The bill, although a long onc,contained but two allusious to the subiect ot blavery. Ilie first was a prohibition to thc tcrritorial lcgis laturc to pass anv law on the subjeet. I'he sccond cavc an appcal from tbe territorial iu diciarv, to the Supremo Court of the United Statcs, in all cases where a question of Slavc ry was introduccd.

"What then did the Committee's Bill proposc It did not pro pose to repeal the local law of those provinces, but, on the contrarj. prohibited the local lcg islature from changing it. This prohibition oricinated ivith me. 1 was the first to suggest it, and I did so with a view to perpeluate the ex ixting law of those provinces tchick jirohibit Slavery. Little did I imagine, at that momcnt, that I was cxposing myself to thc charge of misrepresentmg my consmuency u au.uvai' Jnir tha ATtension of Slaverv. Buf tbere is anotcr principle Tvhich may be -THE GALAXY. noticcd herc. Slavery is a local institution, existing only by positive law. It cannot be transferred to a jurisdiction where no such law cxists. Tho consequencc ij that a Slave ta ken by his master into a Free State becomes frce. The case would be the same with a fu fjitive slave, were it not for the provision for his surrenderin the Constitution of the United States, which was introduccd into that insrru ment because, without it, the relation of mast er and Slave would not bc recotmizcd in a free State. Thc result is that a Slave taken into oneof these territories, would become free. Thc bill, then, would cxcludc slavery as ef fectually 33 the legislation of Congress can do it. It is full as oficctual to this purpose as the Wlmot Proviso. The language ol" that Pro viso is, that slavery shall not be permittcd in these territories that ofthe bill is, slavery is now prohibited thcre by law, lct that law re main. It shall not bc altered. The bill has been representcd as scttling nothing, as leavingevery thingat loose ends, as really probibiung the people from exclu ding slavery, if they would. All this may be said, so long as thc existing law of those terri tories is kept out ofsight nay, ifone assunie that tbe previouslaw thercsanctioned slavery, much more might bcsaid. Th bill would then perpeluate slavery. But the efTect of the bill is to be judgcd by refcrence to the statc of things upon which it is to operate. It is all-important to know what that lawis which is not to be changed. If it cxclude slavery, andijconfirmcd and pcrpctuatedby the billin question, how can it be said that tbe bill au tnorizes the extension of slavery IIow can slavery be introduced there consistently with this bill i And how can 1 be charscd with abandoning the principlcs or misrcprcsenting thc scntiments of my constitucnts Anothcr egrcgious error in regaru to this bill is the idea, tbat Congrcss endcavorcd to throw off their duty and their rcsponsibility upon the fauprcme Uourt that thc bill would call in thc Suprcmc Court to do their duty. This is a great mistakc. The bill reftrs noth ing to that Court. It does not mendon or al- lude to that Court, except as itprovides foran appcal from the Judicial tribunal proposcd to be establishcd in the territories, to the Su premo Court. It attempts to confer no legis lativc power on that Court, but, as I have en dcavorcd to show, it proposcd to exert the full legislativc power of Congress to the exclusion of slavery, by sanctionin and perpetuating tho existing prohibition. V hat then is lelt to the Court It is this. Certain Southern gen tlcmen, at the head of whom is Mr. Calhouu, insist that thc Constitution guarantees to the people of the South their property in slavery, that, if they choose to go to the territories with their slaves, the guarantee would protect that property thcre. 1 hey oi course insist that, a-s the Constitution is in force in these newly acquired territories, itoverridcs and an- nuls thc local law, and lurtbcr, that Longrcss have no power to intcrferc with this property m the territories, orexclude it ttierejrom that tho "Wilmot Proviso, if cnnctcd by Congresj, would be unconstitutional and void, and that the Ordinance of 1787 is cquallv so. Now if these gentlemcn are right, all our legislation, bv way ofprohibitiag slavcry, coes for nought. Certain it is Congress cannot re peal the Constitution. Nor can they deter inine its constructioa. This is in its naturo a judicial question, entrustcd by ihe Constitu tion to the buprcmc mdicial tribunal, and there it must rcmain. We denv the doctrine of Mr. Calhoun absolutely and totally. My own vicws of that question were fully exprcss ed in a reply to Mr. Calhoun and Mr.Bcrricn. Xbat reply will soon belaiU before the public in conncxion with my remarks on tbe bill in nuestion. Uisagrccmg as we do upon tlns question, thcre is but one tribunal which can dccidc be- tween us, and that is the Supremc Court. The Committec thcreforc Icft that question where they lonnd it, anu where thcy were o- bliged to lcave it. We had, as we believed, c.Eaustcd thc legisIatiTe power, thc judicial we could not assunie. We Lad Iramcu a bill which we thought cffcctual, its constitutional ity, if it passed, was a matter to be determin cd by anothcr department. The error probablv irrew out ofthe rcmarks of Mr. Ulavton, wiucli were not tullv understood. He remarked that the whole controvcrsy was Ieft 10 thc Suprcme Court. That was trnc, because tho controvcrsy was rcduced to thc simple con stitutional question. Mr. Clayton, I havc rcason to know, regardcd the bill as I did, and consider- mg thc only remaimng question to be the ya liditv of our law he verv propcrlv trcated thc de- tormination of that tribnnal, as all that rcmained to bc donc. to close thc whole controvcrsv. All that the Committcc could do in refer cnre to this question was to sce that it should not be lcft to the final detcrmination of thc tcrritorialJudges appointcd by the Prcsident This thcy did,by providing an appcal in tll ca ses mvolving this question to tbe suprcmc Lourt. The result of the whole matter is, that the bill cxcluded slavcry from the territories, so far as thc legislativc power could affcct it. Wbcthcr Congrcss possessed the power to do so, was a question lelt wnerc tne lonsiuuuon had placcd it. What more we could havc done I have yet to learn. Thc Wilmot Proviso would not have been, m my judgment, more cflicient. That Proviso would not have passcd the Senate. Its very namc had become odious at thc South, It profcsses to proceed upon the authority of Congress alonc. without regard to the wishes ofthe people of the territories. The South ern doctrine has always been that this subjcct should be lcft to them. The bill of the Com mittec, whilo itsccurcd thcobjeclof thc North by excluding slavcry, at the same time con formed, in a mcasure, to Southern vicws, as it adopted and perpetuatcd the laws which the people ofthe territories had previously enact ed. Southern gentlcmen could sustain one but not the other. For myself, considering thc practical result to bc the same m both ca ses, I felt at liberty to adopt that form which promised success, rather thn tbat in which dclcat was ccrltin. SAMUEL S. PHELPS. Middlebury, August 29th, 1848. Martin Van Buren. The Meadville, Pa., Journal says, that the noraination of this centleman meets with but little en- couragement from the old and tried Aboh- tionists in that quarter. They regard him as a wily, scheming politician, who, all his life. has been given to management. It is difBcult to induce men to believe that a man may one day cringe to slavery tose cure a favor,and that he can honcsily as sume aposition the next in opposition to it.especially when heexpects to gain some thing by the change. Boston Atlas. The VanBuren JnggleJ.SSSSS? r? .ii .i i.ir p 1 1: .v nr... :i have ever given Martin Van Burcn the lowest place in our estecm. He is one who owcs his political cminence and success, not toany high quality of mind not to any brave decds not to any gencrosity of character notat all but the sourcc of his success has been cowardly non-cdmmittalism and subserviency onthe one side, and thc usc of party machinery and cor ruption on the other. llis advice to "carry the South by falling in with the South, and the North by party machinery," lays bare his character. It is a mirror in which he may be seen. He was the fathcr of that powerful corabination of corrupt politicians known as thc "Albany Rcgcncy" a combination of political gamblers, who, having thc grcat State of New York in their hands, as a stake, with its im monse paironage and power, could socontrive, and didso contrivc, toshape the politics ofthe national administration for years, and to par cel out the offices of power and trust as would best accomplish their object, and repay their tools. Van Buren and his immcdiate confi dential associatcs were political gamblers.from the beginning, and looked upon and calculatcd upon candidates and clections as thc black-leg does thc cards ia thc pack, and the chanccs of the game. The Albany Regcncy politicians, of which Mr. Van Buren was the head, have done more to corrupt the politics of this nation, than all other causcs combinod. It was one of their number who first broached thc doctrine that "(o the victors bclong the spoil?." While he was on the high road to distinction, in the National Government, he was the most abject and subscrvient of northcrn dough-faces, as we shall prove by a brief rccurrencc to the most promment points of his life. When General Jackson came into power, Martin Van Buren was appointcd Secrelary of State. He had taken an active part against the re-clcction of John Quincy Adams. IIc had the sagacity to perccive that Jackson would bc elccted. He, thercforc, supportcd him, with an nndcrstand ing that he "would subservc the people ofthe of thc South," or, according to a letter publish ed in the Richmond Enquirer.May 7th, 1827, from Charleston (S. C), in was stated that: "Martin Van Buren is toscnc u Srcrttaryof Statc un. dcr Gf neral Jackson, onl at the cnd of four yearg to be nominatcd and upported Air the rrciidency, with a pcrfect undrntandm; that he will pursue ihe Southern policy." It is well known that during the period of his Secretaryship undcr Jackson, an invasion of Cuba was meditated bv Mcxico and Colombia jointly, for the purpose offrec- ing the aiaves in that island, and to aid the people to throw ofTthe yoke of Spain. The south Decame aiarmcd at the prospect ol hav ing a colony of f rec blacks so near them as Cu ba. Mr. van Buren therefore wroto to Mr. j. l van iess, our iviimster to spain, in an official despatcli, dated Oet. 22d, 1829, in wmcn mr. van JNess is commandcd to urce the Spanish Government to make peace with Mexico and (yOlombia, Iest they should com- uinc to irce mc oiaves m uuba, and wrench from ber that valuable island. In the dcs- patch tho following passage occurs "ConFidcrations conncctedmth a cehtaix ct.as r nnr population. made it the intcreH ofthe Soutlicra icctionof thc Union that an attempt fchould be made in that Island (Cuba) tolhrovofTtbe yokc of Spanish dependcnce the first cflbrts of which would be the EMANClrATioN of a nu. mcrous Slare population, which result could not but be rcry srnsibly felt upon thc adjacent shores of the United States." In pursuance of the same object, this Martin Van Burcn wrote to thc agcntof our Govern ment in Mcxico, Mr. Butlcr, to oppose "the BANEFUl. SriRIT OF EMAJfCIPATION", IE- sigsed to be intr.oduckd and i-ropagat-ed in tiie Island of Cuba." These and other acts ofa similar character, show how he actcd when Secrctary of State. Ile was thc most subscrvient of Southern lick spittles. In 1832 he was elected Vice Presi dent of the United States. During the time he held that posilion, if thcre was any mcas ure dcmanded by the South, for which he did not go as far as any Southern man went, we should like to know what that mcasure was. It is well known that about this time a grcat excitcment prevailcd in the Southern country, in consequencc ofthe disscmination of aboli tion newspapcrs, &c., through the mails. The South were in arms aboul it. Thcy must be stoppcd, whatever may bc the eonscqucnces, said thc South. Amen, said Mr. Van Burcn; and accordingly a bill was brought in to rifle the mails of their contcnts. "We publishcd thc billin full yestcrday. Tho question wasput on its passage. The Senate was tied 18 bc ing for, and 18 against the bill. The Vice President had tovotc,and votchcdid. MAn Tijf Van BunES voted for. tiie bili, axd it tassed. It was aftcrwards defeatcd in thc Housc. This was the most infamous bill that ever passcd the Senatc.

Had the bill become a law, there is not a solitary paper, which now supports him for the Prcsidency, that would be permittcd to pass uninterrupted through the Post-office Department. Yet they laud himas thafnend oftrcedom! Workmgbis way uy tne oouin.wiiosetaith- ful ally he proved himsclf, and by the "party machinery" ofthe Regener, he was in 1836 e- lected Prcsident of the United Statcs. He was nominatcd for thc office in 1833, at Balti- more. In his letter accepting that nomination, bc thus sncaksof "frce soil." he thusspcaksof THE SLAVE QPESTIO.V MUST BE I.EFT TO THE COXTROL OFTHE SLAVEHOLDING STATES THEMSELVES.

During thc canvass he wrotesevcrallettcrs, all of whicli are as Southern as could have been writtcn by John C. Calhoun. Among otbers he wrote a letter to several gentlcmen in Jackson, North Carolina. Speakmg of the constitutional power of Congress to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, he rc marks: 'I do not hesitate to give it to you u my deliberate and well considcrcd opinion, that there are objections to the ex ereise of this power, as;aint the wishes of the slaveholding States, as irapcrative in their nature and obli-ations, in re ulatinz the conduct of public mcn, as the most palpable want of constitutional power wonld be. Further on hc adds, that if successful at the approaching election, "I must go into the Presidential Chair the inflexible and uncompromisinopponent of any attempt on the part of Congress to abolUh Slavery in the District of Columbia, a-g-ainst the wishes of the Slaveholdin- Statei." And again, not satisfied with the strength of these declarations on that subjeet, Mr. Van Buren gces on further to say: "I rln VieKcTe that tho abolition of slaverv in the District of Colnmbia, ayainclthe tcithesoftheslavt- UUiriClOI OOiamoia, ajaiusttnz rnot inzuacc- holdiny Stats, (AssuMiyo that CoyoREss has would violate the mterests which lie at the basis of our social compact; and I am thoronghly convinced, that i t conld not be so donc, tcithout imminent ptril, if not certain distruction to the Union of these States.

This threat ofthe veto in advance, was new at that time, and evcn good an Buren democrata rebclled a- gainst the Kingly mandatc. WilliamLeggett, an ablcwritcr, for many years assistant editor ofthe N. Y. Evcning Post, thus expressed his opinions ofthe matter: "It would scem that we have elected Mr. Van Burcn to thc office of Prcsident, for the mcre pur pose that he may ba thc slavemastcr in-cliicf and negro ovcrseer. He plcdged himsclf to exercise his veto power against anything which Congress might do toward the abolition of slaverv for thc ncxt four years, without cven pretcnding that it was bcyontl the constitutional compelency of that bo3y to acton thc subjeet. This ihreatcncd use of tlic veto, by a man standingon the very thrcsh old ofthe Executive office, is the most indecent abusc of power of which any Amcrican Prcsident was ovcr guilty.' Thus we find a Dcmocrat, in 183C, calhng the Prcsident of his own choice, the immacu- late free soil Martin Van Buren, "a slave- MASTF.It IN-CIIIEF, AND A NEGRO OYKR- seer." We shall not, in this article, follow Air. Van Burcn tlirough his four vcars admin istration, and spcak of his conduct in regard to the right of pctition the corruption of his administration, the Floridawar and the Amis- tad negroes wo thall spcak ot thcsc mattcrs hcrcaftcr. Van Burcn was defcated in 1810 by General Harrison, most signally. The people, aftcr a fair tnal, had touud him out. Xo sooner, however, was he defeatcd, than the Rcgoncy at Albany, and its agents in other States, sct to work to restore him to power in 184-1, by making him thc candidatc of the Democratic National Convention.

General Cass was the rival whom Van Burcn the Rcgcncy the most thoroughly hated, and thcy were looking anxiously tor the time when they could get him "on tho hip." Van Buren, knowing he could expcct nothing further from the South, bcgan to play for the Northern strength and herc we have him, in the ycar'of our Lord, 1848, up as a"I'ree ioi candidale lor the I residcn cy, and a little "man in Boston" on thc tickct with him for Vice. Thc iutrslc bv which this result was brought nbout, shows how admira- ble is tbetfnrt oftha Van Burcn Albany Re- gency. Hale and the whole Liberty party or- gamzaiion navc been set aside, swallowed up, or put out ofsight, by one wave of the "magi cian's" wand.

Thc Whig must be green, very green, who can now, aftcr the succcsive expe rience of former years, be caught by such loco foco forgeries. No letter from Gen. Taylor should now be deemed gens uinc unless it comes before us under the rcsponsibility of some well known.respect ed man. Forged letters will be as plenty as blackbeiries.

The ground taken by him is, that the ordinance of '87 having been passcd by Congres, approved by Washing ton, and upheld by thc Judiciary, the consti tulicinaliiy d! thc mcasure has been settled by all departments ofthc Governmenl and, J consequemly, there is no ground 1,-ft for the interposition oflhe veto.

Wc undcrstand that Mr. Slade has in his poscessiin nn importnnt paper. rcceived from hcad-qnnrlers scveral years ago, and in the hand-writingof Mr. Van Buren. ltiswelf known that this latter gentleman, on the ac cession ol Gen. Jackson to Supremo Power, was appointed Secrctary of State, and that, wiih loud professionsof'Reform'Retrench- ment,' 5cc., on his lipj, he did happen to re move alinoi-t every indivtdual from ofiice, who had opposcd thc-electionof Jackson. Wm. Slade waa at this time a Clerk in the State Department, iiaving his nppointmeni under John Quincy Adams, and was also a warm adherent ol the Adams party. In this staio of things, on or about the 4th of March, 1S29, Mr. Slade received the cotnmu nication to wliich we reler. As this gentle man is traversing !rte country, beggingdo nntions for the Western Education Society, aud electioneenngfor Martin Van Buren, a polite call fur his credentials, in the latter ca pacity, would perhaps result in bringing lo light a paper ofthe folfowing purport William Slade, Jr., Sir: This Department has no furlher nced ofyocreervices.

Slade's Reasonsfor Tergiversation, 184S. A few evenings since,.it was our fortune to listen, for something inore than two hours, to some of the reasons" of tho Hon. Wm. Slade for being "a sort of a seeeder lrom thc Whig party." When this remarkable discourse camo to an cn3, we have not very dcfinitely ascer tained. Having no latch-key," and greatly dreading to bo excluded from our lodgings,ex hausted as we were in body and spirit, we withdrew,in common witb-a considerable por tion of our fellow auditors, a little before tho "short hours" made their appearance. Very likely wc lost thc gist of the wholc matter, yet there may be no harm in mcntioning some things we did hear nor will it, wc trust, be construed as personalabuse." Mr. Slade adinitted that all whom he ad dressed a rather promiscuous asscmbly, ea ger to get sight of the" Van Buren Whig the only living specimcn known in this region) were opposed to thc extension of Slavery." What should we do, in the premises, was the question to which he would confine Mraself. Aftcr stating that Cass was pledged to veto a bill restricting Slavery, ho immcdiately went on to give his reasons" for deserting the Whig party. This personal matter occupied the greatcr portion of the time during which we listened. Nobody in Vermont, said Mr. Slade, ex pectcd that Gen. Taylor would be nominated. Everybody was taken perfectly by surprise. Thcy could hardly bclicve their senscs. Tho ncws was like a clap of thundcr in thc open sky. Now, as Mr. S. was not in thc State at the time to which h refers, and had not bccn for some months prcvious, it is easy to suppose that hc might be ignorant of the fact that two influcntial papers in this State warmly advo cated this nomination, that many individuals in various parts were zealous in its favor, and that the fnends of Henry Clay had, for some time prcvious to the meeting ofthe Convention, very little hope of preventing it. This has no hearing at all howover, on the subject in question, cxcept a3 it givcs us, at thc vory outset, a tcst of thc judgment and accu racy ofthe Speaker. The ncxt thing in ordcr, to'bo provcd, was, that Gen. Taylor is not a relialle WHIG. Mr. S. would rcad from Gen. T.'s letters. Entirely passing over repeated and distinct a vowals of Whigism, like thc following (in the letter to W. E. Eussell.July 21, 1846): I am A Wjiig, and shall ever be devoled in inrfi vidual opinionto the PjuNCiri.ES of that par ty" an avowal which of itsclf, forevcr rettlcs tho whole question he procccded to rcad from scveral ofthe earlicr letters thoughall, we belicTC, written subsequently to the one wo have just quotcd from passagcs going to show Gen. Taylor's unwillingness to be a par- tizan candidate, or to stand as thc exponent of party principles. Onc oftheso letters states that his position, in respect to this matter, is IMMTJTABI.E." All this has been perfectly un dcrstood from the beginning. We have al ready shown in this paper, that Gen. Taylor's ground in regard to party pledges is precisely like that of Gex. Harhisos in 1840, and of Jouk Quin-cy Adams, when a candidate for Congress, in 1831. And yet, after reading these passages,this scrupulous )Vhig,(l !)witb a very bitter tone and acccnt, would cxclaim, 'There's tho Whigism for you!" "There's a. little more Whigism and so on. This same furious champion and dcfcndcr of injured Whigism, before be closcd, avowcd his delib crato intcntion of voting for that Subtreasury, Anti-tariff, "Northcrn Man with Southern Principlcs," Martin VanBuben In respect to thc Allison letter, Mr. Slade remarked, 1st, that Gcn. Taylor was screwed up to write it, in order to sccure the nomina tion (no authorilies given) 2d, that hc did not write it, but that it was drafted for him b some of his fiiends(no authorilies); 3d, that the letter was wonderfully differcnt, in the posi tion assumed, ftom one written two days prc vious and finally, after long and circuitous comments, ho asscrtcd that Gen. Taylor main taincd in this letter the same position as in all previous ones 1 Incredible as it may secm, this is a litcral, uncxaggerated statcment of Mr. Slade's positions. Hc undcrtook to rcad. the Allison lettcr did read that emphatic declaration of Gen. TayIor,"I am x Wmo" aud his audiencc laughed wheth er at him or at Gcn. Taylor. we will not presume to say. It is charitablo to supj.ose, howcvcr, that a 'goodly nmnbcr' of his auditors, thinking thc Tctcran soldier understood his own principles quitc as well as Mr. Slade, regard cd the special plcading of thelattcr as exquisitcly ludicrous. We wcro surprised at his unfairness (after be ing caught oncc) in omitting words, mcmbcis of sentenccs, wholc scntences, and cven, iu one in stance, a whole paragrapb, bcaring directly 011 the question at issue. After such a rcadiag of the let ter, he triumphantly asscrted that our candidate was committcd to no principles at all! His opin ions rcspecting War, the Slerican War, and For eign Conquest, in general, he omitted to read, and yet pretewled to have givcnhis auditors every a vowal of principle that Gen. Taylor had made. We do not seruple to say that such a palpablc act of dishoncsty would have much better becomo an unpriocipled pettifogger, in a jostice court,than an ex-Governor, addressing an intelligcnt audi ence, in vindication of his own tergiversation. If possible, bowever, ttis enormity was exceed ed, when he camo to speak of a lettcr, (without date, or address,) which maies Gcn. Tajlor say tliat hc woald have acccpted thc nomination of the Baltimore Convcntion,'ir iexdkhed ox tiie same tekms' as thc Philadelphia nomination. Admitting the letter tobe genuinc, (which there is more exlernal than internal cvidence for doabt ing,) it timply amounts to an assertion that if, as the Whigs had done, the Locofocos had made. him their candidate, biotcing him to be a Whigflnd lequiring no pledges, he would have acccpted it. Now, in thc name of reason and candor, where, we beg to know, is thc inconsistency of such a statemcnt what ora'ecu'oa can an honest and ra- tionalmanoffer! Hcnry Clay himself, 01 Dan iel Webster, might, with perfect propriety, have assertcd the same thing. But onr ei-Wiug-bov. ernor cannot afford to treat the subject fairly knowine that, in such case, nothing could be miHin of it. to suit his tiurposc.

Taylor would have acccpt ed thc nomination of the Baltimore Convention crnJits horriblo 'Sulvebt mj.tform Shall we call this dcliberate perversion of trulh by its own lawful name, or shall we leave that for our readers We prefer the latter. Mr. Slade asserted that James K. Polk and John Tylerhad said the same things aboat tho ve to, as Gen. Taylor. This is either true or falsc and there is not one of our readers who does not know which. He said he did not know a singlo man south of Mason and Dixon's line, who did not think it un constimtional to restrict Slavery. Probablyeve' ry onc of our readers knows that Mr. Bcnton, of Missouri, Mr. Houston, of Texas, and Messrs. Clay ton and Spruance, of Dclawarc, (thc latter nnder the instructiom of their fatate X,egisiature,j toted for the Oregon bill just passed, which in cludes the Wilmot Proxriso. Mr, Slade read a passago from our paper, ad mitting, he said, that the Philadelphia Conven tion did not committ itsclf or its candidates to any principles. In sclf-defencc, we shall simply quote the passage as rcad by Mr. Siade, adding thc concluding sentcnce of the paragraph, which ho omitted. "Whigs have never been accustomcd to expect ofmensent into a National Convention for the purpose ofnominating candidates for thcPresi dency and Vice Presidcncy, that thcy will also act the part of a political council, and dictate a aced to the party and to tho candidates, to which the latter shall pledgc themsclves nor will thcy, wc trust, ever borrow this absurd custom from their political opponcnts, who complain so bitter ly that their cxample is not followed. It is un reasonable. therefore, to find fault with the late Philadelphia Convention fornot doing what neith er tlie Baltimore Whig Convention of '44, nor thc Harrisburg Convention of '40, cverthoughtof do ing. With Whigs, it is enough, so far as a com mittal to their principlcs is conccrncd, that thc candidate is a known Whig, is nominated by a Whig Convention, and acccpts that nomination, knowing it to have bccn made with thc distinct understanding that he is a Whig." A person in the audiencc (whose particular case wc have uudcr consideration, and shall at tend to, in duc season) sawfitto contradict our statcment rcspecting thcConventions of '40 &'44. Tlie Convention of '44 had a platform, he said 'hc see it in the TVi'.bunc ycsterday.' Mr. Slade, howcvcr, very correctly, assnmcd that we were right, (and we dcfy anybody to producc thc 'plat form' of principles to which Hcnry Clay was 'pledged,') and procecdcd to say there was no necd of pledges from such a man as Mr. Clay! Il'c say, also, that we want r.o pledges from Gen. Taylor aside from his past life, his known character, and his avowed principlcs. Mr. Slade said ho had made up his mind tosup port the Buffalo nominations. Hc had swal lowed things, as hard to get down as Martin Van Buren Henry Clay for instance. He accordcd with the Buffalo platform, ho said, in the main .He avowcd himself in favor of divers sundry radical mcasurcs such as thc clection of TJ. S. Senators, Marshalls, Postmastcrs, &c, by the people and made out, on the whole, a very satisfactory confccsion of his prcsent devotion to the fundamcntal principlcs of Locofocoism.

Calhoun then came for ward, and was grccted with such an outbursl of enthusiasin by tho larje asenlblage as he nlono can command. AYhen the eheering and waving of handkerchiefs and hats had ceased, Mr. Calhoun addressed the audience. IIc fpoke of the continucd agitalion of the slavc question, and traced its course from its incipi eney up to the present lime. 1 he result, he must confess, did not surprise him, because it Lad in some measure been anticipatcd by him. He canvassed the meritsofboth Cass and Tav lor in connexion with thc Presidency and the slavc question. IIc cxpressed no preference f jr cither, but remained neutral, believing thc ''residential elcction oi little lmportance wlicn compared with the great issue that was before the Southern pecple, which he hoped would shortiy conccntrate the whole South on the quc'tien as to the prescrvation of their right; as slaveholders. He believed it was the duty of the State to east her vote. The State, he pcrceived, had gone into the contest; party lines had already been drawn. He would counscl those engaged in the canvass to be aoderato, and not to cntertheeontest with ex cited feelings, or do any act that would pre vput them from uniting, aftcr the election was over, to meet a question which he deemed par r.mount, to President making. After some re r rks in relation to the nomineesof theBufla lo Convention, and the sland the slaveholding States mir'ht eventually be driven to take, he taid the South had nothing to fear from the result; and that, if made in his day, he would be found prenared to play his part in the dra ma.

Daniel Webster for General Taylor, Agrceably to notice givcn.a Whig meet ing was held yesterday afternoon, al Marshneld, on a piece of laod belonging to Mr. Webster, near the old Gov. Wins low housc. At the place where the speaking wns to be. a stac was erected, suitable to acconiodate some forty or fifty pcrsons. Larly in the afternoon, carriages were seen, hlled with men and women, bend- ing their way from all quarters to the place assigued for the meeting. At three o' clock, thc time appointed for the orator to speak,) therc were from on.j thousand to fifteeii bundred people present. Althe appointed time. Mr. Webster, acconipa nied bv llon. Hiram Ketciiam, of N. Y., Hon. Gcnr.BC Asiimun. of Springfiold, llon. Artemas Hale, of Bridgewater, and several others, whom we did not know, appeared upon the stand, and were most hcartily welcomed by the people. Mr. Webster soon after commenced making his speech, a verbatim report of which wc shall publish on Monday. He spoke about an hour an a half in a man ner truly Websterian. We never heard him whcn he was more interesting, or wlicn he appeared to ferl more fully the importance of the qucstions now at issue before the people of the Union. His speech was devoted exclusively tothe con sidcration of the Presidential question. IIc avowed hitnself fully and unequiios cally in favor of clecting General Taylor. IIc said he believed him to be an hon est man one whose conduct had ever been marked by hieli principles. Hesaid he was a man of little pretensicn a modest, unassuming man. He had been made a candidate for the Presidency, a year before the Philadelphia Convention mct. He w.as fairly nominated at that Convention. He believed him to be a true Wmc. Our opponents said Gene ral Taylor was a Whig.and they tried to disgrace him and the other Whig Gene ral, Scott, for it, by putting a Democralic civilian in command over them. He did not' believe that the slavery question had any thing to do with his nomination. The convention believed him to be a Whig; they thought him to be the man who would, uuder cxisting circumstances, be the easiest to elect, and therefore they nominated him. Mr. Web ster spoke in this strain for some time, vindicating the Whigs of the convention, and speaking highly of the character of General Taylor. He denied the correct ness of that part of the Bufifalo "platform," which said that the nomination of Gene ral Taylor was induced by a desire on the part of the Whigs to extend Slave Terri lory. Nor were tlie Whigs of the South to be held accountablefor the nomination, nhether it be good or bad. The free States had some sixty majority in that con vention, and could have nominated whom soever they pleased. Mr. Webster then went on to say, that in his judgment the question of who shall be our next President lay betwcen General Cass and General Taylor. Une oj them tciu be elected. -Vho then should Wbigs vote for? We all coul(5 nnt t.e our nertonal preferences erati- And cverv vote aiven Buren or anv other third candidate, tcas practically half a vote for iass. iie naa warneu me people against this third party folly in '44, and he would aain warn them 01 its consequences. He spoke of the Bufl'alo platform. He said what therc was good in it, was whatthc Whigs had always advocated, and Van Burcn nnd lus tncnds always had goce against, and what there was new m it was unsound. He had no conudcnce 111 Van Burcn. If he was to ev- prcfs confidenco in Mr Van Buren's "Free j Soil Pnnciples, it would appcar ludicrous; for 110 nau opposeit everv tnmn that loofced likc jree sou au lus iiic and Ue had no doubt, from thc knowledse he had oftheinan. that were they together. Van Burcn would laugh iu hit tacc whcn the "free sou question was namcd anu were we aionc, saiu jir. WcDster, we should probably both laugh at the folly that had made Mr. Van Buren an Anti-Slavery canuiuatc ior i'resiuent. llr. wcosicr tnen went on, al some length. 10 t how up Mr. Van Buren's con duct. He had always been the supple tool of the South, and the aider and abettor of slaverv. He did more, said Mr. Webster, to deleat John Ctuincy Adaras, and elect General Jackson, than any fen men in the country. Hc was tlie soul and cenlre of thc oppoEitiou to Mr. AdamF. Ho ppoke of his conduct while becretary 01 btaie bis oppo sition to slave nboliiion in Cuba. Hc was the only President who ever, in advance, threai- cncd 10 veto a uill, il Contrrcfs should pass such an one, to abolish elavery in the Dis tnct 01 uolumhia. He referrcd to lus east ing vote to rifle ihe mails of nntNsIaverv pa peM. He said tnat no one ever exercised a more comrollmg mtluence over his Inenus than Van Buren; and hie friends allwent uilh him. He was, and so were his friends, in favor of anncxing Tcxas. Southern. Whigs, in tjolh houses of Consrrcsa, votcd amnst ndmit- ting Texns into the Union. The Van Buren men, those who now, for purposes of privatc pique or reveugc, cry out 'Free Isoil," were thc very men who were ihe most vociferous Ior Texae. Mr. Webster had no confidcnec it any of'ihem. Tnlk about "dough faces," why said Mr. Webster, the Van Burcn men in Consress had not only dou"h faces, but ncy nau aougn ncarts and dougn souis. J iet vere all doush." He said that there were gcntleuinn, Whigs, at the Bullalo Con vention, whom he respected highly, but he thought it would have been prop'er, before they had iaken up Van Burcn. to have re- quired o him "fruiis meet for rcpcnlance." ue men procecdcd to sneak ofUass. He held him to be the most dan!erous man that could have been put in nomination. Hc was tnc warenibodiment. He was opposed tothe Trealy of WashiniTion.Ile was Ior the whole of Oregon, and the mattcr would never have had his way. He was for coulinuine Ihe Metican war, and he couIJ have stopped it any momenl he chose to. He is ail war. xow, said Jlr. cbstcr. we are to cliooso be twcen aman like Cassaiul onc like Gcn. Taylor. One or the othcr is to be elected, and no onc clse. It is Taylor or Cass. Gcn. Taylor has been fair ly nominated by a Whig Convention. Hc is a wiiijr. "lt 1 believed lum, (said Jlr. W-l to bc in favor of war, orof extcndinir slavery. I should have opposed his .election. 1 believe him to r.E i.v favor of NE1THER. Iliat is my opin ion.
