"The Dower iriven by the Constitution to the Execnlive, to interpose his veto, is a high conservative Dower which should never be exercised ex cept in cases of clear violation ot the Constitution, or mnnifest haste and want of consideration by Conpress." "The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action ot Congress upon ques tions of domestic policy, nor Ought his oljections to be i internossd where questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various departments ef government, and acquiesced in by the people." "Upon the subject of the tari'lT, the currency, the improvement of our irreat highways, rivers, lakes and harbors, the of the pooplo, as expressed through their representatives in Congress, ought to be respected and carried out by the Executive. 'War, at all times, and under all circumstan ices, is a national calamity, to be avoided, if coin imtible with national honor." 'The principles of our eovernment, as well as its true policy, are opposed to the subjugation of other nations, and the dismemberment of other countries by conquest: for, in the language of the great Washington, 'Why should we quit our own to stand on foreign ground.

TAYLOR'S SPEECH. Read Gen. Taylor's speech, on the first page of to-day's paper. The old follow fights like a hero writes like a scholar speaks like an orator universally behaves like a gentleman and is an old fashioned, straight-forward, honest-minded Republican. No wonder the office-holding, office-seeking, Cassites tremble as the day of election draws nigh.

But don't let us detain you here, good reader road the speech. POLITICAL SPEAKING. Messrs. Leonard Tompkins addressed (he citizens of this place lust Saturday. The notice for the speaking had not been generally circulated, and there was but a small attendance.

Those who did attend however, were well paid for their time and trouble. We would that every democrat in the land could have heard Mr. Leonard's review of the lives and services of Generals Taylor and Cass. Ho took them from boyhood to the present timo alluded to the prominent acts and services of both, and the contrast was so dissimilar, their characters so different, tho ono frank, open, manly: the other, disengenuous, crafty, all things and nothing, according to "circumstances," that we cannot conceive, how any unprejudiced mind, after hearing him, could prefer Cass to Taylor, Mr. Tompkins' address was short, but his remarks were well-timed.

His advice to Whigs, was good, and should be acted upon. In the language of one of his admirable) anecdotes, they should "keep kick ing like the devil" as nothing short of long and hard kicks, will ever kick over his satanic majesty's temple of locofocodom, tha dark shadow of which disfigures the beautiful face of our stale and country. We regret that we have not the time to give a more extended review of the remarks of the speakers they deserve it. but "circumstances" forbid. DO" A Van Buren and Adams paper is now published in Quincv, by C.

M. a democrat. HENRY CLAY. The nomination of this distinguished individual for the Presidency, by a few of his over-zcalous friends in New York, has had a very different effect from what many of them and tho leaders of tho locofoco parly anticipated. The former were foolish enough to believe that he would consent to such a move, while tho desire fur him to assume that position, on the part of the latter, carried them to some ridiculous excesses.

The prompt manner in which Mr. Clay forbid the use of his name, brought his friends to their senses, and they arc now striving to excel in zeal for the People's Candidate; while at the same time it cut short the rejoicings of his enemies, and left Cass and Defeat staring them boldly in the face! It seems that Mr. Clay has been fre quently written to on tho subject of bring ing him out as an indepennent candidate, and has universally and promptly declined. This is only what was expected by all who were not blinded by persorfal feelings, or a few aspirants who considered their chance for promotion under him belter than any ono else. Tho man who would "rather bo right than President," could never be made to assume a wrong posi tion by the appeals of tho ono or tho other although their number should bo legions Wo append the following letter trom Mr.

Clay, written in reply to ono from Cin cinnati: Ashland, Sep. 1. Gentlemen: I hove received your letter sta line 'hat in the present conflicting state of the pol itics of our beloved country, it is the honest and sincere opinion of thousands of your friends and zealous supporters that this is the auspicious time for the independent presentation of your name to the voters of this confederacy lor tho Cruel mag' istracy of our Union; and you invite rue to assume that My name gentlemen, was submitted, with my consent, to the consideration ol the vvhig Con vention which met in Philadelphia, in June last and the Convention did not think proper to nonii nate me as a candidate for the Presidency of the United Slates. I have quietly submitted to its decision; and I cannot consent to any further use of my name in connection with that oiJico. 1 have accordingly refrained from giving, and must continue to decline giving the slightest encour agement or countenance to any such use of it.

I am, nevertheless, thankful for the confidence in me which you do me the honor to entertain. With great respect, I am. Your friend and obedient serv't. II. CLAY.

W. II. Fruits, who rocently escaped from the jail at Fayette, wob killed by a posse from Brunswick, who were attempting to arrest him. They came upon him ot Yellow Creek, Chariton county, near Compton's Ferry called to him to surrender, or they would fire; he ran and plunged into tho creek, when two loads of buckshot were discharged in hopes of crippling him, but they shot Kim dead. The Brunswicker says his body was brought to that place, and an inquest held by Justice Nowbold, and a verdict returned by the jury, that the deceased came to his end by accident, in attempting to arrest him.

D. F. Butter, was seen in earnest confab with his patron of Sandy Hill Bank money, Mr. Jacob Barker, of New Orleans. There they stood for half an hour, while each old Wall street starrer, as ho passed this sight once so familiar to his eyes, rubbed them as though in doubt whoihcr or not ho was but dreaming of the finan ciering of the days when young Patroons were roped" in with Maderia and soft words, to endorse broken banks when far mers and mechanics blessed their stars on getting paid in coppers and picayunes, counted out slowly at that and when Sandy Hill, but for tho want of "stated preaching," would havo been tho most delightful spot in tho world!" Tho New York True Sun is an old Hun kcr.or Cass paper, and ridicules Butler be cause he supports Van Buren.

Some years ago a book was published in New Yoik, containing the secret correspondence of Butler, Barker, Van Buren, and other prominent democrats of the Albany Re gencyor as we say out here, Clique. These letters fully showed, over their own blessed signatures," tho rascality and swind ling operations of. these democratic lead ers. The Whig papers copied some of theso letters, and commented on them free ly; and for doing this, they were abused and vilified by the opposition press. The publisher of tho letters was denounced as a thief, and those who copied them were held to be no better.

Now, tho precious scamps are using (he information contained in tho samo letters, to break down the men they then defended! "Circumstances" alter cases that which was roguery then, is orthodox now. Mr. Moses, ono of the Florida Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, is out abusing Gen. Cass because ho refused to answer him some questions, and referring him for light to the Nicholson letter. ilo says tho South could rely on no man with less safety than on tho nominco of tho Balti more Convention.

We regret to learn that the Tobacco Factory, together with its contents of D. C. Garth, near Huntsville, was destroyed by fire, on last Saturday. There was some thirty thousand pounds of Tobacco in the factory. Two thousand dollars of the loss is covered by insurance.

Garth, who contests, the examination is closed. Three spurious votes were discovered two doubtful. Thus far on the part of Mr. Oliver, a like number of illegal votes have been discovered, which leaves the matter as it stood at first, viz electing Mr. Oliver by three votes.

It is thought his majority will be increased before the examination is closed. Court Martial Demanded. W. II. Emory, U.

S. A. has demanded a Court Martial, to investigate certain charges made against him by Senator Benton, in his famous speech on tho nomination of Gen. Kearney for promotion. Major Emory pronounces the charges of Senator Benton "unfounded calumnies." If the court be ordered, Major E.

promises to show that all the charges are devoid of the least foundation, and also to expose the fraudulent manner in which historical facts have been distorted, and testimony delivered before the proper legal tribunals of the country has been mutilated at the ex-penso of truth and candor." "Tim'GlTTO HIM! Charles K. Field, Esq who was nominated by the Locofocos of Vermont, as their candidate for Lieutenant Governor at the late election thus speaks of tho locofoco candidate for the. Presidency: "In no event can I be induced to vote for Cass. He it cowardly an unprincipled political Hack, and a marvellous worthy nominee of the worth less tricksters who assembled at Baltimore!" "Let locos delight to bark and bite." Sudden Death. We regret to leprn that Ttumas Guthrie, aged about 05 years-a highly respectable citizen of this county, left his residence on Wednesday last and went to Hickman's mill, and died at the mill on the night of that day.

Paris Met -eiry. From thePhiladulhia U. S. Gazette. THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.

There is a striking similarity in the condition of parties and of the country, beiween the present lime and the year lr40. lien the country Inn guished under the ruinous policy of Mr. Van liuren's administration, under a load of debt no cumulated by the Florida war, and under a sys tern of party Indies, which, while it entirely an nihilaled the conhdenr.o of the public, in the ea parity for integrity of the "Dcmocretio" rulers, brought reproach upon the national nemo, and depreciated the credit of the Government, at home and abroad. Our present condition taking into account the expansion nnd strengthening of eight years, is even more deplorable lhan that of 1840. The country now groans under an enormous public debt, the fruits of the Mexican war; domestic in.

duslry is paralyzed, and the public patronage is wantonly employed as an engine in promoting ihe success of parly. On all sides we hear the familiar shouts of 'change' and reform' the bat' tie cries of 1S40 the alarm bells whnt loused the Whigs ol the Union to action, and achieved a glorious though a short lived triumph. INow ns then, we have lor a candidate, one who trained in the severe school of the camp, pos sesses the judgment, discretion, virtoe Hnd palrot ism to administer the office of President with honor and advantage to the country one who has those strong and solid qualities of mind, blended with humanity and honesty, which distinguished the early days and the master spirits of the repuh. lie in fine, one who has the sense of justice to appreciate duty, hnd the resolution to execute it it at any cost. Such a man is needed for times when demagogues have usurped and corrupted the high places, and when nothing short of political purification can redeem the character nnd restole the integrity of our institutions.

The honorable incentive which stimulated the Whig party to exonerate in 184.0, nnd attracted to our standaid tens of thousands of conservative and law respecting men among our opponents who had been cheated with the empty name and shallow pretence of "Democrocy." exist even more strongly now lhan then. The downward tendency of the government, and the agitating questions of sectional controversy which have been forced upon us by the insane and selfish policy of ihe present administration, appeal to every Whig, and to every citizen who regurds the welfare and the safety of the Union, to rally for the coming contest and (o buckle on his armor for the fight. It is not prudent, it is not honest, to diminish ihe importance or to depreciato the magnitude of the consequences of this Presidential election. He is no patriot who does not scrutinize them closely, who does not scan the whole horizon, or who permits himself to follow an abstraction, which can lead to no eood result and may entail irretrievable ruin. This may be tha last struggle of tha W'hig party, as such, for, if we fail now, disorganization will necessarily succeed, and the scattered elements must be colleected on some new basis.

The issues involved in the contest ara plain and positive. First of all, and foremost as a fundn- mental republican principle, is, that the will of the people, constitutionally expressed in Congres, and not the veto of tho President or the procla mnlion ol a cabal, shall make the law. Next, that this will so expressed shall bo di reeled in building up our great national imprests in improving the highways of commcice, in open ing new channels ol communication, anu not in the acquisition of lerrritory for any purpose. Next, that ilio marker of (ha United States, belongs to the farmer and mechanic and mauu facturer of the United States, and that no maiket is so valuable as tho Heme Market, for the ex change, save and consumption of our own com modilir-s. And lastly, in order to cairy out these grand results, peace with all nations, and in the language of Washington, "entangling alliances with none." In this hasty glance is presented the permanent and fixed policy of the Whig party, which has stood since its organization and must contin.

ue to stand during its existence. These principles were powerfully presented and defended by Mr. Choate, Mr. Winthrop and other distinguished Whigs, at the lecent Convention in Massachusetts. Oil the other hand, the dislintictive features of Locofocoism arid the avowed policy of Gen.

Cass, are equally conspicuous and notorious. They comprise fatal objections, which ought to enlist every honest vote agninsl him. First, is an insane and desperate passion for territorial conquest and foreign war. Next, a direct committal to the extension of slavery in the newly acquired territories. The Union at Washington, has authoritatively announced that Gen.

Cass would "veto the Wilnwl Proviso" and the Democratic Review the great Northern organ (pro pudor!) contends, that the extension of human slavery on this continent, is an advantage. Next, a settled and morbid attachment to the enlargement of executive power, to the depreciation of Congress and to a disregard of the checks and balances imposed by the Constitution between the Legislatuie und the Exccutivo, Lastly, a direct and unceasing hostility to (he protection of Free labor, as shewn by the repeal of the Tariff of '42, and the establishment of the British system, in the act of 1846. These are the dividing lines between tho two parties, irrespective of the question of currency end other like matters of tempcrar) expediency. They are their own advocates or accusers and we submit them to the people, with tho simple sug gestion "choose ye beiween them." SoLDiEns Land Warrants. Tho following notification appears in tho Washington papers.

General Land On ice, Washington; September 15, 1818. To prevent undue exactions from soldiers in necessitous circumstances, I suggest fur Ihe future that tho assignments of laud warrants be made on the backs of the warrants in all cases, when practicable. Justices of (he Peace and notaries public are strictly enjoined, in certifying to the acknowledgment of soldiers, either (o powers of attorney or assignments of warrants, 10 fill up the "dates," on the day on which such instruments are executed. The 'J ill section of the act of Congress of February 11, 1847, provides (hat "all sales, mortgages, powers, or other instruments of writing, made or executed prior to the issue of any such warrant, shall be null and void;" so that any such blanks as to dates left by them to be filled up after the ema nation of the warrants, is highly improper on the part of the officer who permits it, and is in fraud of the act of Congress upon that to these suggestions may dispense with the filling of numerous caveats by (he noldier to prevent the issue of the patents wheio the assignment are alleged io he fraudulent.

Cavatenac was not on good terms with Lnmor- iciere, because the lormer had, ol late, leaned too much lo ihe Democratic parly. Cavaighac was so much alarmed al the prnspect of the Bonnparlists, in the election of Louis Na poleon to the Presidency, that he had determined lo propose a decree against lha legality of the election of Louis Napoloon, on the ground that he is merely a pretender.

If, by this means, Louis Napoleon is excluded from the candidacy, Pierre Napoleon, already a member of the National A sembly will bo started as a candidate for the Pres idency. In consequence ol the refection of the armis tice beiween Schleswig and llolslein, and (he acceptance of tho mediation of France and Eng- land by the Austrian government, il was reported that the Paris government had resolved to resume the plan of forming an Am of Observation along (he line; and (roops on (he ltulian frontier were to be removed for ihis purpose, except 20, 000 left to guard the frontierof Italy, Changar-nier, it was supposed, would he appointed lo ihe command of the army of the Rhine.

The insurgents have encanped seven miles from Clonmel, where roast bullocks and sheep were snpplied lo them. They are pressing all persons to join them at Glenbower.

They attacked a party of the Police, when a severe fight ensued. A number of the assailants were killed, and several of the Police were wouri ded. The Police fled in every direction from the out-stations Il is expected that to night will reveal most aw ful scenes. The Insurgents wear uniforms, and use clubs, end have captured some pieces of can non.
