The Wnigs in New Orleans lately had a large men:iug to ratify the nomination of Gen. Taylor and Millard Fillmore. They go the entite- ticket-Filmore, and more too, if necessary-and they did so with nine cheers! When did a LI,niiana Vhie, and a true Southern VhiL, (out of Sotb Carolina, at le-est,) t-ver he"sitate to support his party and l.arty men, without an, sort of scruple of difiulty in regard to principles? N& vet! They have talked about the riehts eof the Sou-1, and aeinst the Wilmot Provwso, and yet they suppeorr Millard Filhut,rv, a New York Vilmot Proviso m1,., for Vice President, and put forth G,:n. Taylor for President, as their big go for the South; but lest they should ,ffend the universal WVi-not Proviso 'Vbigs of the North, he is muzzled and spiked and silenced, and does not ven tore to discharge c single' shot against their Northern allies, who are all Wil miot iroviso men. Yea, more: Gen. Tavlor has so pledged himself not to exercise the Veto power, lia- the North ern WIees declare that they, as a ma juity of Congress, can do as they like, (pass the Wilmot President, and they therefore claim him as not against ti em on tho' question. in South Carolina, our Whigs are a little more modest. Mi!l."rd Fillmore sticks in their throat; can't swallow him. Some of them) even wish to bot row Gen. Butl--r from the Democratic ticket, and sil port him for the Vice Presidency. They are a little restrained by respect for theit Democratic friends-but how absurd is this distinction in the Carolina Whi-s! They know very well that is it impossible for South Carolina to suppot t Gen. Taylor as the Whig instrument to crush her and her principles, and they ought to know their own party out of this State well enough to know that they will "go with a pet feet i ush" for the Whig ticket. Fillmore and all; and sould not hesitate, judging from past experi ence, to support their ticket if Wintot himself was nominated on it. It is pet fecly certain. that if Gen. Taylor is elected by the Electoral College, Millard Fillmore "will be there" also, and to support Gen. Taylor as the Whig can didate f~r President, is the same thing as to support Millard Fillmore. There is no half way house, or place feerd-"dging this responsibility. It is a vain thing for South Carolina Whigs to suppose they can d.ccive the Democracy of the country, by saying they are for Gen. Taylor and not. for Fillmore. Everv huzza they give Gen. Taylor helps his ga ewbh vats" the ore owards thie haven of power, necessarily propels the other. The same W big flag undei which they have brought ot Gen. Tay lor ives over Millaid Filimore. In every State where it is possible for Tay lor to get a single Ehectot ael vote, Fill more will also; and if the former is even elccted Pt:esident, thie latter is sure of the Vice Presidency; therefore let it be uneerstood plait,-y, and let those who think of galling the people with the idea th;tt Tayhm isnm i not Fillmoreism, cease all suchi attempts. They are, in party, one andh ind'iv,sible. The conseqene to the countty, if Gen. Tavlor should b)e elected Pre sident, will be~ to plau.e in the Senate of thu Uneite.d Sates M illar d Fill more as presidfing offiretr. re'ady and wvilling to givlt e tig vote oni ,ll mnasures aegains! the South and the Constitettion, aned in favor of the Wilmio Proviso, or atny kinidred measure.

Ta3 lor having re'pnadiated, lhe counetry would be placed irredeemahb y in the lianrds of its worst ineternatl enemies, the Northern Whfigs aend Barn burners.

RuI.'EDITn: A correspondnndent of your paper over the signature of "Mauy Citizens." propounds to my colleagues of the House and myself the li,llowing quoes ion: "Whom will you support for Presi dent of the United States. Gene!al Zach ary Taylor.or Lewis Cass?" Waiving the Objection which may be supposed to exist to sueh a call hetne made by anonymous correspondents, I a persuaded of the good ftith which porotp ed this. I proceed. therefore, to respond to the above question. If the rote were to be cast at this mo ment while writing, I would say in reply ing directly categorically to the qtuery. I can support neither of the distinguished nominees who have been placed belre me. Gen. Taylor I honor as a sohlier of the highest character and conduct, I revere as a patriot, independent, incorrup'ihle citi zen, and I am disposed to love as an honest man. For myself. I was glad of the prospect before us some four montho ago, of an Opportunity to sttstaiu him for the high office of Chief Magistrate. as a candidate independent of two parties be tween which the people of the United States are divided by politicinns. For it cannot be dirguised. that the Northern wing of boit these parties. jelonts of the influence of the Southern States, have merged for the moment (and in all human probability, will do so again and again) their political differences, and united in legislative action, tending to excite corro ding prejudice against our institutions, to degrade us. if possible. not only in the ryes of the world, but in our own estima ton. But if Gen. Taylor accepts the nomina tion of one of those organized parties, the mne too, whose influence has uniformly oeen opposed to the free trade, low debt, State Rights doctrines which have been held paramount in South Carolina, and in the highest appreciation by the great ma ority of citizens, ever since I have had the honor of a seat in her councils, how an I support him? if Gen. Taylor, plan ter though he be, having already in ad, vance, r.e-vtralized the veto power of his administration. accepts the nomination of 3 party, the controlling majority of which ies in a region where is acknowled no tympathy %% ith us. and in many parts of vhich has been evinced hitter hostility to ur domestic policy, how can I support Iim? Of the nominee of the other party gon rention-a party which, when true to its rofessed principles, has ever commanded he countenance and support tf this Stat-, tiving credit for his abilities, previous ser. rices and amiable qualities, and not mien inning other objections which might be urged on the score of opinion Of Gen. 3ass I will say no more than that his riews in respect ofnew territory, as I ntt lerstand them, are not sufiiciently sound o authorize me at the present juneture. and t u ga.me further controlling legisla e e lectors oT restornr ident of the United Siates, ill ed on the 7th November.-next. The,'in. ervening space of time,. in these dayi of tolitical agitation and progression, may traduce developments which will matert 1ly modify, perhaps change. the opinions f ti-day regarding the choice of a Chief lagistrate. On the 8th of August, it is said that an tnler Convention for Presidlent making vill he assembled in the city of Buliftlo. Wtth a view to it, inciptient steps have Iready been taken and demonstrations made in the States of .\ew York antd Mlas achusette. Who knows whtat may be equired at our hands, by a senise of duty a the country, ini consettuence of now and angerous combinations growing out of his turbulent movement. Possibly our chpice may not be ontined a the two prominent atnd very io~rthy cit r.ens alreado nominated by their respec yve Convetttions. In atny event, would it be Wise 10 de-. 'rive our State of an advantage whuich er institutmons and positions give her. hy ommitting ouirselves to either before it ecomes nece'.sary to mtake a choice. I trust my constnluents will he assured f my determitnat ion to serve them faith. illy. and with all the ability which can he ummtotned to my aid. It wouldI be vaini me to suppose I can please all by atty nurse which I may nidopt in tho ensuing lection oif elbtictrs. In determining that nttrse, I will exercise my best juedimenh, aving regard to the honor ande inte'rest of oe State especially, antd of the United htates. Fully sensible of the responsibility of he statiotn with which I have beetn honor d. it would amount to a betrayal of the rust so long reprosed in me by a contfidine onstituencv. were 1 to allow oneO selfish motive 10otniingle in the discharge of this igh public duty.
