Millard Fillmore Triumphantly De fended. We copy from the lice, says the Na tional, with great pleasure, the following able vindication of Mr. Fillmore, and overwhelming exposure of the infamous false, fraudaient, nnd malicious slanders published against him by venal and sub sidized papers in support of the veto power and kingly prerogative party, who sail under the false and hypocritical Hag of democracy. It is a perfect extinguish er, and we invite honest democrats, who neither seek nor expect office, and whose only motive of action in a contest like the present is to promote the good of their country, to come up and look at the mis erable deformity of their unprincipled leaders as they stand unmasked in all their meanness before the world, and to inflict upon them the scorpion lash of in dignant rebuke. The Case of the Creole—Mr. Fill more's Votes—Another Calumny Ex posed .—In the batch of slanders which Locnfocism in Louisiana has fabricated, in the desperate hope of injuring Gen. Taylor by striking at him through Mil lard Fillmore, by far the most prominent is the charge, that during the Congrcssion nal sepsioti of 1842, Mr. Fillmore aided and abetted Giddings, the aboli: iotiist in his infamous attempt to justify, by solemn resolution, the mutiny and murder perpe trated by a number ofVirginia slaves on board of the brig Creole. The charge is false from beginning to end—it is founded on falsehood, sustained by ingenious and dishonest garbling of the Congressional records, and watjtonly palmed upon the people of Louisiana by a party, whose so Jitary chance of success rests upon the possibility of deluding and misleading the public mind. We have taken some pains to investigate this atrocious libel, and au examination of the journals of the House of Representatives, will conclusively es tablish Mr. Fillmore's innocence, and expose the unscrupulousness and malice of bis adversaries. The authors of the Crealç slander as sert, in the first place, that when Giddings presented his incendiary resolutions, a motion was made to lay them on the ta ble, and that Mr. ^Fillmore voted in the negative, leaving the bare and nuked in ference by inserting Fillmore and negative in large letters, that the whig candidate for Vice President, was therefore, iu favor of the resolutions. This falsehood, by implication, may at once be denuded in its flimsy covering. The journal of the House shows that one hundred and twenty five members voted with Mr. Fillmore against laying the resolution on the table; and among their names we find those of John B. Dawson, John Moore and Ed ward D. White, being the entire delega tion from Louisiana, together with a large number of members from the slnvchold ing States. This statement proves incontrovertibly that Mr. Fillmore went with the South on that memorable occasion, and that in common with a large majority of the members he would not consent to treat the nefarious resolutions with the usual parliamentary courtesy, but was in favor of compelling Giddings to sue for permis sion to withdraw them. And yet, this vote of Fillmore, which is to be found in conjunction with that of the whole Louisi ana delegation, is recklessly and flagi tiously distorted by locofocoism, and rep resented as a vote of aid and comfort to Giddiugs. We wish the people of the State to remember that locofocoism reviles Miliard Fillmore for voting side by side with John Moore and the lamented Daw son and White. This, however, is only part of the evi dence we shall present of the trickcry and " Debate arising on this motion, Mr Fillmore submitted tfiat debate was not in order, and that the motion for the pre vious question (by Mr. Weiler) should be now enfcrtained by the Speaker. "The Speaker then decided that in his judgment the matter before the House was a question of privilege; and that on a question involving the privilege of a mem ber of the House, the previous question could not be applied; and consequently, that the motion for postponement was open for debate. "From this decision Mr. FiMmore took appeal to the House, and after debate, "The previous question on the appeal was moved by Mr. Hopkins, and was de manded and put, viz : '"Shall the main question be now put." And passed in the affirmative. On the next day the question was put, viz. "Shall the decision of the chair stand at the judgment of the House," and it was determined in the negative : Yens G4, nays 118. So that Mr. Fillmore'' s views were maintained by IJk House, and Mr. Gid dings ivas thereby refused the privilege of speaking in defence of his odious résolu tioiif. And now, whigs and democrats, we have laid bare to you the disreputable juggling of that party which seeks to re* tain power by fraud and falsehood.— Beaten at all points; baffled and foiled in every effort to deceivc the people, and to traduce the fair fame of Taylor and Fill more, it has no other rcsourco than to per sist in the desperate game in which it is engaged. Its flimsy pretences have been torn away; its calumnies have been nail ed to the counter; its wilful garbling; its false assumptions; its deliberate perver sions of truth have all been exposed. Let it go on in the miserable career it has cho sen. The fanfts of the rattiesnake have been extracted, and its bite is now harm less. Gen. Taylor's Signal Lettep .—The Tuscaloosa Monitor publishes n letter written by Gen. Taylor, it: November last, to a gentleman in that place, which puts an extinguisher upon the ridiculous pre tence set up by some of the locofoco or gans and leaders, that the General, in his letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Sig nal, intended-to endorse the views con tained in the editorial article which the editor ofthat paper sent to him—more es pecially ihe principle of the Wilmot pro viso. Being applied to by n gentleman in Tuscaloosa to know whether or not he had intended to endorse the opinions ex pressed by the editor of the Signal on the occasion referred t», Gen. Taylor replied as follows : Head-Quarters Army of Occupatio*, ^ Camp near Monterey, Nov. 5, 1S47. ^ Sir; Your letter of the 4th ult. has been received in reply to your remarks concerning a letter which I addressed some time since to the editor of the Cin cinnati Signal. I have no hesitation in stating that it was not my intention in that communication to express an opinion either in concurrence with, or in 'opposi tion to, any of the views embraced in the editorial article to which it refers. The letter itself, like most other letters of mine on unofficial matters which have found their way into the newspapers, was not intended for publication, but simply written as a matter of courtesy in answer to one which 1 had received from the gen tleman in question. For this object, it was entirely sufficient; though, under the belief that it would never go beyond this point, it is quite probable that it may have teen prepared with that care and critical accuracy which appears to be so much required by politicians. It was my simple desire, on thai occasion, as ha*j been my custom uniformly through life, to express my respect for opinions which I believed to be honestly entertained, and as long as thus held, my approval of his maintaining them. Should it ever bccomc my official duty to give my opinions op . any or .•>!! of the political questions referred to in the arti cle above, mentioned, 1 shall discharge the duty to the best of my judgment. Until then, my opinions on such matters, are neither necessary nor important. i need hardly add in conclusion, that this communication is not intended for the public prints. I um, sir, very respectfully, Your ob't serv't, Z. TAYLUll, Maj. Gen. U. S. Army. Correct life of Gen. Cass.—Illust rated loi'.h engravings. —The Wheeling, (Va.,) Times, has commenced the publication of the correct life of Gen. Cass, in which several incidents will be named which have been strangely neglected by the adintcrim. The work is to be beautifully illustrated by an engraving of the identi cal black cockade that he wore, the full picture of the pedling wagon be sent out from Detroit to follow his payment ofln dinn Annuities, and the sword he broke. It will also contain his IcttersdVom France upon the Tariff—Ins vote on the subject of Inte rnal Improvement—bis letter to the Chicago Convention—a synopsis of his Wilmot proviso and annexation letters— a copf of his letter from the Canard bridge to Gen. Hull, asking whether he should fight , (after Snelling had put the Indians to flight)—a fac simile of the canoe in whifeh he crossed the Northwest ern lakes from Detroit, holding Indian treaties at $8 per day while drawing a salary of $2000 as Governor—engravings of several picces of mahogany furniture manufactured in the " Indian Depart ment" (for the sole use of the Indians of course)—a picture of the first distillery erected in Detroit, a short extract from a well known temperance address, and a few extracts from a book entitled,the "King and Court of France," and several otjier things of interest. ! fl^r*That catiêe which can only be sup ported, by low vituperation, is weak indeed. {t/ 5 * Thocsa« Allen, Esq., the founder and first editor of the "Madisonian," the organ ol the Tyler Administration in W ashingiou, has for several years past resided in the city of St. Louis, and has recently received the nomination of the whig party there for State Senator. From las letter accepting the nomination we ex tract îhe following. Mr. Allen has here tofoie been a member of the democratic party : "When I saw the platform etpon which Gen. Cass was placed by the Baltimore Convention, I saw with unaffected regret the little light of hope in that quarter°for the West wholly extinguished; and when, again, (saw Mr. Van Buren emerge from his retirement with a fire-brand in Iris band, and observed the discord, and "noise and confusion" which those two candidates were about creating, I felt that there was no security or shelter against the impending storm, but to lay hold of the Rock of Buervn Vista. Seeing that they were engendering a spirit of hatred and resentment, exciting sectional preju dices, and arousing the most dangerous and tyrannical passions, 1 felt lhat the cause of political toleration, and the re pose of the country, if not the safety of the Union, required that both Cass and Van Buren should be defeated." * Gen. Taylor.-*- The New York Herald, an independent paper with decided loco focoish propensities, speaking of the an ti-slavery agitation in the North and it* probable consequences, holds the follow ing language : "In the meantime, what course should be pursued by the friend? of the Union— the friends of all the best interests of the country? The democratic party— better known by the term of Locofocos— organized by Mr. Van Buren under the mantle of Gen. Jackson's popularity, is about to be scqitcred to the winds of heav en by the same hand lhat made it. Gen. Cass's prospects of election arc diminish ing every day. His friends arc paralyzed and thunderstruck; the violent supporters ol Mr. Van Buren arc vociferous aud noisy. In such a state of things there is no safety, and no prospect of stability for our ibstituiious, or of the present ar rangement between the North and the South, but in the united support of Gen. Taylor. The radicals of all kinds have broken loose from old party ties, and the conservatives and friends of this glorious Union, belonging to all former parties, ought at once to unite and form n com pact force, for the preservation of mode ration in government, by the election of such a great man as Gen. Taylor. This is ouronly safety." A Clincher .—Parson Brownlow, one of th e 'disaffected,' fights manfully, never theless, against Cass. From n list of strong facts which he collects for the people, we take the following, which all must agree to be a "clincher." "Keep it before Unpeople —That Gen Cass's friends say, he was one of the aid de-camps of Harrison, in the war of 1812, and was always by his side—that these same locofoco friends, in 1810 declared that Harrison was a coward, and not with in one mile of any battle—and that, as a matter of course, his aid-de-camp was in no engagement.

T PETERS, WATCHMAKER, AND JEW ELLER Pipkins street, Plaquemine oppo Mr- A Porrou's Coffee House Dec. "5 duplicity of locofocoism. Much remains to be added. I he Cass and Under press designedly omits all reference to another vote of Mr. Fillmore, in reference to the resolutions of Giddings. Before the lat ter withdrew his resolutions, another question came.before the Ilnnse, to wit : " Shall the main question he now put," Mr. Fillmore, with a majority of tire House, voted no , thereby refusing to en tertain the main question, which was, "that the House do agree to the resolu tions." (See journal House of Repré sentatives, 2d session 27th Congress, pa ges 5G7-8-9 and 370.) li is true that Mr. Fillmore voted against the preamble arid resolutions offered I y Mr. Weller. Iiis object Was to treat Giddings with withering contempt, as a brainless, crazy fanatic, not to elevate him into consequence by an appearancc of persecution. He wished to see the reso lutions kicked out of the House, as the ef fusion of a madmen and besotted bigot. Mr. Fillmore voted against all proceedings on the subject, deeming it as much be neath the dignity of the House to discuss Mr. Giddings' insane folly, as it would have been gravely to debate a proposition to dissolve the Union, or to change the form of our government. That these were the motives which influenced Millard Fill more is evinced by a fact carefully - kept from view bv his detractors viz : that Mr. Fillmore did everything in his power to deny to Giddings an opportunity of mak ing a speech in his own defence, for hav ing presented the obnoxious resolutions. An extract from the journals will suffi ciently sustain this fact, nnd make still more manifest the gross and glaring in justice of the Locofoco press. Extract from the journal House of Repre sentatives , 2r/ session 27 th Congress. M arch 22 d, 18-12, pages 573. "Pending the motion of Mr. Weiler, for the previous question, Mr. Giddings inquired of the chair whether the ell'ect of that question, if sustained, would be to exclude him from giving his reasons wby the resolution should not pass. "The speaker decided that, ifMr. Gid din&s desired to be henni in his defence, and claimed it as a matter of privilege, he would not entertain the previous question at this time, as it would cut lain oft from his rijjht of defence. "Mr. Giddings then moved that the further consideration of this subject he postponed until Thursday week next, to the end that he might prepare his de fence.
