The South And Gen. Taylor

Tho Southern Democrncv, as fa r as iliry hie tlius far gien any inlimaiions of clioice, Lave showt) o disposiiion lo sup; pon Gen. Taylor tor President, n preference to nny olher man, and (nninly because thereby slavery can have the Piesi(1 -Micy f 1 1 1 r yeirs langer. The followjng parsgraph from the N. O. Bee, a Whig ioper, expreses tl, e idea tlms : "Ons reasnn why ihe South shnuM, and pro'aWy will sustain Gon. Taylor for tiio Presidency, vith great unanimitv, is becau.e h is nomination affords vs a final and unlookfd for chance of elecling asnutkern mnn lo llml ojficc. Now, wlicn it is consirfered ihai boih tho great parlies w the Noi;lh ourt the nnli-slnvery faction - ih;it bpth ure opposed to the ext'nsion of slavecy - and t:int bnth exhibitd in the late Congreso a settld determination lo j d'sfrancliise t]le South - the inioortanne of plaeing nt the head of tho governmpnt une who from blrth, associntion and conviclion, is dentified with tiie Souib, and who wil) fearlessly upholq lier right ond srnn rfl her from oppresston, cinri"t fail to strike evpry cindirt mind. In this viow. liis pleotion hecomps a maltpr of vital moment to the slaveholding portion of the confederacy," The following notices of the different movoments at the Soiuh we find in the Cleveland True Democrat : "We have already published an nccouni of the meeting of "the peopla of both po litical porties," held on the 3d oi" Iny, in Mounl Sterling, Ky.iatwbicfe Gen. Taylor wns unanimously notninatcd for President ;is the people's ("slaveliolder's) enndidale. Judge French, one of the most prominent members of the Locos in the Stats, presided. The Fleming l-'lntr, B democratie paper, Sfeaking of this meeting, savs : 'A lnrge portion of those rornposing seid meeting, a-re Democrnts of the fjrst order of intellect, and ns sound in faith as was ever the venerable and paln'otic Jackson. The nrray of Democratie nnmee connected with the proceedingv, with the reteran tr.ie-heartfd Judge Frencb al their bend, is conclusive evidence thttt i lic Whigs wil] not be permitted to oppropriate al' the glory won bv the brave nnd indomitallle 'J'aylor, to their own boriefit ; Biijj this mayjutly be toirned a Democratie nominition of 'Oíd Rougb and Ready,' for the high office of President. To :hi--we have no objections, liaving aluavs contended thnt General Taylor was sound in bis Democratie friith. We are porfectlv ready and willing to espouse 'nis cnu-e, and to advocate bis election at any time ivhen he símil be laken up ns the 'Píoplb's Candioatk,' insiead oï the candidale of the Wiig party.1 "The snme paper contains a notice of anoiber Democr.itic nieeling at Clarksburgh, fixed for thc29th inst., for the purpose of selecling a candidate for the Leg1 8 ture. It says : 'Let every Democrat uiiliin the limits ofthat county de in aitendnnce. It is n cmiie worthy of their best cxrtiotis, and no one should be absent, as the meeting will probubly noininnte General Taylor for tlie Prcsidency, before it adjourus. - If so, we shnll say amen to the proceedings nnd p;iblish ihem wiih pleasure. - We should not be surprised should (Jen. Taylor vet be taken Up bv the Dernocracy of the whole Union for thut office. Tlie example set by Monigomery will be follovved by the otber countirs, generally, in ths región of Kentucky; so tho Whigs may 'stand from under,' 'Old Rough' it one of them.' "A meeting was held at Nnshville, Tenn., by the 'friends of Gen. Taylori on the 8th of Mov.' for the purpose of nomimting liim for President. At this meeting the Ilon. John Dell, Gen. IInni. son's fc-ecretary of War, avowel 'hii hearty concurrrnco in llie sentimpnts of the prenmMe and resolutions' nominating Tnylor, prosenied by the Editor of the Nashvillo Wlvg. Andrew Ewing. Esq , a Democrrit, and brutfeer óf the present representative in Congr from lliat dmtricl nnde a speech in wliich he expressed his desires lor the eleetion of Taylor, as did nlso Mnjor Robert B. Turner, nnother prominpnt Di mocr:it. who declaren1 that 'he was rrndy to contribute bis mite to promo'.e his rledion.' "At a State Convemion held in Alabama, on theSd n. Hrm. Rufus Kinr, late Minister to Frnnee, preside!. Upon assurning thp rhaif he mads an nddress, in the ciMi-se of whic'i, 'he commpntpd upon thp litllo reñí causes of difference eis!ing bnlwern Southern men, Whigs or Domocrat, now tliat the tarifFwas permanèntly fettled. and thp. q nest Ion of a United Sta'eBank an 'obsoleta ideV nnd more pariicularly in view of the necessity for Union bctwr en them. which com'ne evcnts seemed to foreshadiw.' "The democrats of Alnbarea, it is rell kniwn, are favoralily inclined to Mr. Calhouu. Yancoy, and soms otlier of the nienib'-rsof Congres fromihnt StatP, are ainong lii-s warmest iriend. The movements of tliis State Convemion lor Tavlor, shows that Mr. Calhoun viflds his i chance to Taylor. The same thina; is madp olear by the conrse of the Charleston Mcrcury. That paper s the organ of i Mr. Cnllio'!n, nnd has lately espoused the I canse of Gen. Taylor. "All tlipse movements of the South - al! this giving np o( party and men, and advances towards a permanent union, are based upon the principie ihal ihey are reqnircd by the. inieresls of Slavery, and that ihat institution vvould be safd in Genera! Taylor's hands, as he is opposed to the VVilmot Proviso - thnt f, to so limiting Slavery that it shall not be extended to newly acquired terrilory. ■ "Sucli licing '.he course of the South. whot siand does it behoove the ncrth to takc 1 Ouglit it not as bolilly to espouse the cause of Freedom, as have ths South the cTuse of Slavery ? Ouglit we not tn say, 'Gentlemen, f you can ihrow asido your party ri;iferences, and your polititician, and unite to ir;creae your polilical power, that yon may rule over us, we loo can and toill unite to secure our intere;s - our polilical power, and the cause of Freedom.'
