.Utterly 'enable from the mafked purity ;of the
public and private life ofGenCass tdm-ie any
serious charge against him the opposition have giv-
en themselves tip fe the 'creation and circulation o'
such little depreciaiory charges as if established
would am'ou'nt to little But failing entirely in the
proofas they do only serve to show with increased
lustre the brightness of his character.
The oftencsl repealed and most pertinaciously
persisted in of all ishe little idle charge; that
when a boy of seventeen he wore the black ccckade
and was attached to the old federal party. This
the idlest of all imaginable stories because if true
it amounts to nothing has not only not brcn estab
lished but has been positively disproved ty the
very persons they hae appealed to for proof of it
in ecry instance. The Mr. Mitchcl whom they call-
ed out in Ohio the Delaware papers and the indi-
viduals who knew Gen. Cass when he was a school
teacher in Wilmington all certify that knowing
him well and recollecting u ell the occurrences of
the period designated tliey know that he was not a
federalist and did not wear the black cockade.
Hie Whigs show that in Niles' Register of a cer
tain "date such a charge was made but there is no
I evidence to .sustain it and if the mere charge is
enough they need go no further than their own
false statements upon the subject
However as we hate said before we say again
w e do not sec w hat such a charge if established
could amount to in derogation of his character with j

ANOTHER LETTER FRO& GEN. TAYLOR.
We have received the following communication
from Mr. McCoikey enclosing a letter from Gen.
Taylor heretofore unpublished Wc insert both let-
ter and communication without any abatdment the
name of the writer being abundant authority for the
publication".
v . m - r For the Atlas.
Mr. Editor: Last February I addressed a letter
to Gen. Taylor propounding 'three interrogatories.
Two of them vcre immaterial at the present time;
the third was as follows:
'"Should you become President of the United
States w'duld you eto an act of Congress which
should prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude for-
ever except for crime in all territories or the
United States where it does 'not how exist?"
As Gen. Tavlor's reply may assist the interpreter
of the Allison fetter 1 offer it "for publication. It is
as follows:
Baton Rouge La. Feh. 15 1818.
Sir: I have thejionor to acknowledge the receipt
of VOUr communication nfllm !5d inst

I would or would not do were I elqctrd to the
presidency of the United States: and that in the
cases presented in your letter I regret to add I see
no reason for departing from this principle.
With my profound acknowledgments for the
friendly sentiments towanls me which you hae
been pleased to express I remain sir with great
respect your obedient servant

Now what amount of confidence can the South
rcpocs iu a man who is advocated at the North as
an opponent of the slave power and ia the South as
its friend.
Could any fair and candid man hold such a posi-tioa!
Add tills to the fart that while he was telling the
world by writing that he was "n whig but not an ul-
tra whig" he told Col. Haskcli in Lis tcut that he
was a "whig and a quarter over.!" Col Haskell
pledged his word as a man to a large public gather
ing ia Philadelphia that this was so and. gave it as
an additional claim which he had to strenuous Whig
support. "From that moment (says the Col.) I be
came a Taylor man and a quarter over."
Now if this is not deception what is it! As Hor-
ace Greely says'it argues tliat soiwhody is to be
cheated"'
Is all this consistent with tho sturdy henest
straightforward undect-ptive character which his sap-
porters ascribe to General Taylor! Docs it not
rather evince that the demon of ambition has pos
sessed him and that he has yielded his guidance lo
the old political managers who consult with him and
bring out all his announcements Messrs. Peyton
Bullitt and others of New Orleans.
One thing ia certain he can very easily set all
these differences at rest by stating his position upon
these matters and then all will know what he is.
If he doesnot dotliisbut runs under two sets of col
ors one class of his supporters are necessarily to
be deceived and defrauded.

The extension over the continent beyond the
Rio Grande of the ordinance of I787is an object too
high and permanent to be baffled by Presidential
vetoes."
Gen. Taylor replied to him and said his services
were ever at the will aud call of the country' dnd
that he had been addressed from many sources on
the subject of the Presidency and in conclusion
said

Our readers will next understand that the prominent
feature of the ordinance of 1787 was the exclusion
of Slavery from the North Western territory.
Now it will bc contended that Gcn. Taylor being
aslavcholdfjcould not have intended to approve
this portion of the editorial but that he answered
without considering the full force of his words.
This is makimg a man's local position and circum-
stances deny his words.nd presuming tliat he is
either deccptious or ignorant for he certainly did in
words approve the editorial; and the Taylor papers
in Ohio and the WTiig central Committee of the
State arc.holdiiig tho ground that although he Is
the owner of stives these are his true senUmcnts
