MORNIN G EDITION---- Movements of the Ultra Whig ge sacle on aot eral Taylor's Administra- ee -westtuaiam Untailinpnpeey 2or<28} ¢ Wwe Trieurn.—In announcing in our Jest number that the Presidential contest had ter- minated in the election of General Taylor and his worthy adjunct, Millard Fillmore, to the two high- est offices of the government, we offered some re- flections on the importance of the contest, and some congratulations to our readers on the happy. result of it. The subject is, however, too full of anterest to require apology for briefly resuming it. @ Indeed, it is hardly possible tor any reflecting per- son to estimate too highly the importance ot the iegue which the people of the United States have Just decided, or the magnitude of the interests which hung on that decision. Proportiona’ therefore, must be the joy of all those who enroll- ed themselves on the side of the whig candidate for the chief magistracy of this great country.— For ourselves, we confess that when we look back at the long train of evil consequences which have flowed from those elections which gave ascendan- cy to the anti-national principles, and the aggres- sive, belligerent proscriptive, and jacobinic ca- reer of the self-styled demucratic party, and contrast them with the pacific, just, patriotic, tolerent, and conservative principles of the whig party which have now so signally triumphed, we regard the result of the contest with feelings akin to which must fill the bosoms of mea who have just eecaped from a city overwhelmed by an earthquake. The antagonist principles of good and evil werein desperate conflict, A dark aud porten- tous future awaited the triamph ‘of the one ; a bright and cheering prospect is opened by the v cf the other. tus, however, look more in detail at what we have escaped on the one hand, and what we have gained on the other. General Cass, the democratie candidate, was the supporter of the existing administration, and stocd pledged to carry out the policy of all the de- mecratic udmimstrations from 1829 down. This policy has consieted— In mak ing war on the business of the comtry — denouncing the very foundation of commerce, and invoking bankruptcy and ruin bios all who trade on credit, the vital element of all trade in free go- vernments : In making war on the currency of the conntry, by the establishing of the sub-treasury—the system. ot the dark ages end of despotic governments only —and giving one kind of money for the govern- ment and another kind for the ;-eople: In making war on the industry of the country, by refusing to it all protection, and exposing it to the eempetition of the pauper labor of Europe : In denying to the Government any constitution- al authority to apply public money to public im- provement ; in denying to it, 1n faet, almost every attribute of good, and narrowing its functions al- most to the sole powers of taxation and war: In applying the Executive veto to laws the most salutary, and assuming for the President the right and duty of negativing bills upon mere motives of expediency, and arbitrarily setting up his single opinion as a sufficient warrant for nullifying the will of the people as expressed through their re- presentative ‘ e ¢ bringing into existence the anti-social prin- ciple of proscription, converting the power ot ap- pointment into a cruel and tyrannical engine of “rewards and punishments,” and administering the Government on the slavish doctrine that “to the victors, pélong the spoils ;” all alike detestable and at genius of free government. In ad to general principles of action of the de: fatic administrations, the reign of that party has arked by a disregard of in- ternational jus' id of the still more graceful quality of national erosity. They first wrested from a weak, and, though erring, yet hardly re- sponsible neighber, a large distriet ot her territory; and then, on the pretext of coercing the payment ot a mass of private claims, good or bad, made cruel and desolating war<upon her to force from her @ yet larger portion af her cowntry; thus bringing upon ourselves the loss of thonsards of valuable lives and millions of treasure, which, had it been deemed congsuptional to apply it to the improve- ment of our country, would have made the desert blorsom as the rose. Had Gen. Vass succeeded to the Presidency, he was not only baund to carry out the principles avowed and practised by his democratic predeces- 801 at, animated by the same aggressive spirit and thirst for terrtorial acquisition which have disting: them, he*would in all probability heve~ d some scheme of aggrandizement which might have brought upon us another foreign war, and possibly have endangered the peace of all christendom; for, when once begun, no one can tell whither and how far war may extend. 4 All the interests of. our country, theiefore, for- eiga and domestic—its internal ‘prosperity and its peace with the rest of the world—were involved am the question whether the candidate of the de- meeracy, or his Species should be placed in the Executive chair. It was a question whether these muechiefs of misrule should be sanctioned by the people and perpetuated indefinitely, or that the whole series of ruinous and dishonoring Democrat- ie principles and practices should be rebuked and disowned by the country. For the honor and true glory and prosperity of our nation, we thank God this has been done. The stake wis the weal or wo of a vast and free country, with all the ele- ments of greatness witbin it, if wizely developed. In the election of Gen. Taylor, we believe that a kind Providence has given success to the best in- terests of ourcountry ; to the cause of peace, jus- tice and national advancement; and we regard the result not with rude or boisterous exultation over our adversaries, but with the chastened feel- ings of reverential gratitude. [From the New York Courier & Enquirer.) The organ of the Kxecutive seeks to depreciate the great triumph of the “ Taylor republican par- ty,” and to rally the pseudo “‘ democracy” of the country in opposition to the incoming admimistr; tion. Jt will have hard work to accomplish either. The whole country knows, and the Union cannot shut out the fact, that the election of Gen. Taylor isa jal and most significant triumph of the peo- ple, acting for themselves and in detence of their rights, against the most desperate efforts to fasten them to the car of partizan and personal selfish- nese. Genera! Taylor's election, beyond all doubt, 1s due to his nomination by the whig national con- vention ; but that nomination was the result, and not the cause, of his popularity, and served only 8 the rallying point for the thousands and tens of thovsands who stood ready, without regard to party, to vote for General Taylor, if they could do 80 with any reasonable prospect of succe The whigs have undoubtedly, as the Union al- leges, labored zewlonsly and efiectively to secure the resnit which that paper deplores. “They had a candidate worthy of their most ardent and untir- ing exertions. Standing with them upon. the conservative platform of the constitution, holding the principles for which they have struggled, seek- Ing the good of the conntry by the same paths of peace, economy, and devotion to the Union wh they have always trod ; presenting himself especi- ally and pre-ernmentiy as the champion of that great fundamental principle of popular sovereignty against arbitrary prerogative and offi power, tor which the whigs have always contended—no men who claimed to be a whig trom a love of whig principles, and who regarded the nght of suttr as a power to be used for securing principles deemed eseential to the pubhe good, could con- sistently refuse to General Taylor his most zea- lous and efficient sup ort. But there were other, and perhaps still stronger, oilaences, which aid-d his election. The doc- thine, boldly presented by his opponents, that the veto power is an absolute prerogative of the Presi- dent, to be used at his sovereign will against Con- gress, without check or constraint of any kind. stripped from the pariy its long worn mask, an exposed it to the people asthe smooth-faced, hyp- ocritieal foe of that which is traly democratic in our republican institutions, They saw the hollow- ness of its pretensions, and they seorned the base- ness of the pretexis by which it had so long dela- ded them into 11s support. Im General ‘Taylor they saw, also, a man fresh from the people—of | that, they would not concede one inch, spotted that even party malice dared triotism the most devoted and ungselfish—holding himselt aloof trom the intrigues and ultraism of al parties—promising to be the President of the whole country, knowing ne! ther sections nor parties in his eflorts to promot the general good ; and avowing, as the great c dinal principle which should control his politi life, a profound and deferential respect for the v of the people, as embodied in the acta of their im- mediate repre sentatives in Congress. They knew that, if elected, he would be an exeentive, and not a dictator, ro tus great republic. They had seen, with swelling hearts, ‘the noble spirit, the cheerfal alacrity, ire willing, self-torgetting patri- otism with which he had offered his life his re. tation, every thiug nren hold dear, in delence of i8 country’s honor, when it had been entrusted to bh bande, They had followed him Bihongh all his great campaign outhe Rio Grande, and had matked, with extorted adnriration, the eonsum- mate prudence, foresight, mayynanimity, and sim- ple greatness of character, mora’ and iatelleetaal, which had distinguished every step. | between the slaveholding and non slayeholding Stato, known ae | demand, when he already had their hearts! Party bonds— the selfish hope of gain, the habit of obeying party leaders, reetraining many from yieldiny to tue impulse of their better natures, but they conld not reetrain all. And thousands and tens of thonsnnds of the democratic party cast their votes for Zachary Taylor, because they believed him to be an honest man and a true republican. x Now, the Unton greatly mistakes, if 1t supposes these men can be winstled back, at the will of those who once claimed to be their masters. They avowed their confidence in General Taylor, when they gave him their votes. Until that shall have been proved to be hollow and false, by his con- duct, they will give him heir support. He e: joys the ‘respect and the confidence of the great boay ot the American people, to a far greater ex- tent than any other President in recent times. None distrust him at heart--none, except those whose trade 18 distrust, who live by defamation, and all whose hopes hung upon partizam schemes and petty chicanery, protess . distrust, now» that he has been elected. Fhe mass of the free soil party--those of them, at. least, who came from the democratic ranks—confide fully am his charac. ter and his uneelfish devotion to the public good. When they turned their backs upoa their party and its candidate, they knew they were aiding the election of the honest old soldier, whose fame had filled the world, and whese worth was equal to his fame. They are not to be lured back by empty words, of which they know: the worthlessnesa, and the selfish motive which prompts their ut- terance. | The truth is, the great body of the people of all parties, stand ready to sustain the administration about to come into power, to the full extent of its deserts. They do not prysns trom it impossibili- ties, They know perfectly well that governments are not omnpotent, and that in this constitutional republic, the powers of goverament are detined and limited. » They do not, theretore, look for muraeles from any change of rulers. But they ex- pect honesty, patriotism and prudence to take the place of corruption, selfishness and reckless dema- goguism,in the high places of national power. They ae thar wisdom and experience will be con- sulted ;—that the national policy will not be made the sport of rash experimeats ;—that measures which the people have condemned will be aban- doned ;—that the legislation of the country will be suited to the wants of the country and the spirit of the people ; and that in all things the good of the nation wall take precedence over all party projects and sectional schemes, in guiding and shaping the policy of the government, These are reasonable expectations:—and the temper of the popular mind is just now eminently a reasonable temper. Passion, prejudice, resent ment and selfish hope, have Jittle comparative in- fluence over it. The people will judge soberly and Juatly, whether the administration of the next tour years meets these expectations or not. Andif it does, the Union and its colaborers will have all they can do, to keep even the leaders of the defeated faction from augmenting the strength, and swelling aie Tete Aas ot the Taylor republican party of the nion.

Jantison then rose,and moved the ap- polntment of a committee of twenty-five, to take into consideration the continued agitation, by Congress, of the question of slavery; whereupon the following committee was appointed:—Gen. D. F. Jamison, Capt. Jaccb Stroman, Capt. Donald Rowe, Capt. P. 8 nings, Major D. J. Ramph, Col. W. L. Lewis, Capt. Murray Robinson, Dr. W. S. Rowe, J.B. McMichael, John i. Felder, De. J. D.

Jamison, made the following report: Joe cleie The ccmmittes sppointed oonNideration the continued agitation, by Congress, of the quettion of el what checks can be interposed to prevent oka upon the character and institutions of such at the South, and if that cannot be prevented. to declare what stand thcy are now prepared to take on this most important subject, beg leave to submit the following ere ae the accompanying resolutions: ‘he time has arrived when the slaveholding States of this confederacy must take decided action upon the continued attacks of the North against their domes- tic institutions, or submit in aile: to that humiliat- ing position in the opinions of mankind that longer ust inevitably reduce them. Forbear- an na virtue with nations as withindividuals; but when it involves the loss of position or character in either, itis base, dishonorable submission. If the South yaa the constitution to be trampled un- der foot; if eke is willing to become-a fixed minority, uted only to assist in registering edicts for a jealous, hostile, and unjust majority, who admit. no rule to ;o- yern by but their own wills, and no measure but the keenest conception of theirown interest. it is best that it should be known to us at once, and that we should endeavor to accommodate ourselves, as well as we may, toa tate of things so degrading. Thatsuch will be the inevitable result of longer submission to the in- cersant attacks on our characters and institutions. your committve cannot fora moment doubt, unless the South shall take firm and concerted action to pre- ventit. The agitation of the subject of slavery com- meroed in the fanatical murmurings of a few scattered sholitionists, to whom it was along time confined; but now it has swelled into a torrent of popular opinioa at the North; it has inv: ide aud ths Cinssh, the press and the kalls of legislation; it has seized upon the deliberations of Congress, and at this moment is sapping the foundations, and about to overthrow the. fairest politioal structure that the ingenuity of man has ever devised, ‘The overt efforts of abolitionism were confined for a long peried toannoying applications to Congress, un- der color of the pretended right of petition; it has since directed the whole weight of its malign influence against the annexation of and had well nigh cost tothe country the loss of that important pro- but emboldened by success and the inection of the South, in an unjust and selfish spirit of national agrarienism, it would now appropriate the whole pub- lie domain. It might have well have been supposed that the undisturbed possession of the whole of Ore- gon territory would have satisfied the non-slave-hold- ing States, This they now hold, by the incorporation of the ordnance of 1787 into the bill of the last session for establishing aterritorial governent for Oregon. That provision, however, was not sustained by them rom any apprehension that the territory could ever be rettled from tke States of the South, but it wag intended as a. gratu'tous ineult to the Southern people. and a matig- Hi and unjustifiable attack upon the institution of slavery. The boundary between the slaveholding and non- slaveholding States was supposed to be fixed by a solemn compact on the part of the twosections, known as the Mirsouri Compromise, and the line of 16.30 north Jati(ude, was adopted ax the limit between them. Whatever may be the opinions of your committee as to the propriety of this compact. and of the concessions made by the South to preserve the Union, they would not be willing to see it disturbed, as it has been sanc- by time and long acquicscencs; but beyond ie ould it shat- ter this confederacy into thirty frogments.
