Tue Prospect.
There is Work to be done.—See to it.
We find the following encouraging ar
ticle in tlie N. Y. Express of late date :
"The nomination of Air. Van Buren, at
Buffilo is, however, n fortunate event for
the Whig Taylor partv; much more fortu
nate than if a Whig had been taken, and
it removes all doubt, if any ever existed,
of the election of Taylor to the Presiden
cy. In 1844, the vote of New York
was :—
Polk. Clay. Abolition.
237,58b 232,482 15,812.
"Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cass will now
about divide this vote of237.588,—leav
ing, say 118,794 for Van Buren, and
118,794 for Cass, thus giving over 100,
000 plurality m the Slate of New York
for Tnylor. But granting that Mr. Van
Buren —an utter impossibility—should
get some 40,000 thousand run mad Whigs
to vote for him, yet General Taylor will
have an immense plurality, sweeping al
before him. The divisions of the Loco
foco party, if the Whig columns stand
firm, an J as here, in this part ofthe State,
where Mr. Clay's friends were and are
most numerous and zealous, we have the
means of judging of that best, we can
safely say, from the best of our knowledge
and judgment, that Gen. Taylor's major
ity will be larger than was ever before un
der any circumstances, given to any Whig
candidate.
"Now the like cause, but to a less ex
tent, however, it must be admitted, which
operate upon New York, are operating
upon Pennsylvania and a'l New England,
and upon Ohio. If in Pennsylvania any
sort of a Van Buren Electoral ticket is
gotten up, every voter for it is a sublrac
tion from the Democratic party, for no
Whigs are Van Buren men there,—and
therefore just so much of a substraction of
the mnjoriiy that the Whigs there h^vc to
encounter. Such a ticket is to be got up
at Reading at an early period, and we
look upon it as securing to the Whigs the
State. New England is just as impreg
nable as it ever was. You catch no New
England old. Yankee Whig throwing
away his vote for Van Buren, or whatev
er loss there is, it will be at the rate of one
Whig taking with him five Van Buren
men,.and to that extent breaking up ihe
Democratic party. In Ohio there has
been much to af prebend, but unless we
much mistake the tone and temper of'that
people, the doubt is settled by the nomina
tion of Van Buren. Whigs of Ohio will
not vote for Van Buren, but Democrats
will, and to that extent break down and
disorganize the Democratic party. We
look upon the three great central States of
the Union as now certain, if the Whig
columns only stand as they have ever
stood, through twenty years of adversity,
firm . Twenty years of wrong they must
remember they have now to right. Twen
ty years o( suffering, oppression, and pros
cription to revenge. And will they not
stand firm?
"The West is doing well enough. Mr.
Clay himself, in his vote for Mr. Critten
den, has pointed out the way for all true
Whigs to go,—and Mr. C.ny hiirfself has
thrown cold water upon the expectations
of nil who supposed that through his in
fluence Kentucky was to wheel out ot
line, because Mr. Clay was not nominated
for the Presidency. The indications in
the West are generally pretty much what
tbey were when Gen. Harrison swept that
region. All the Southern States that we
got in 1840, we shall get with Gen. Tay.
lor in 1848, and probably Florida, and it
may be Mississippi and Virginia. In Vir
ginia, the Whigs can overthrow the De
mocratic party if in the strong Democrat
ic counties they send their best speakers,
and make a loud, long, and hearty fight
Shenandoah and Rockingham are not in
vincible with General Taylor,— and break
down the majorities there, and the State
is safe.
"The spectacle noy, then, that the
Whig party presents, since the coalition of
Barnburners and the Abolitionists, with
Martin Van Buren ('Barnburner) for Pre
sident, and Charles F. Adams (Abolition
ist) for Vice President, is as satisfactory
and as united as in any exciting canvass
a Whig confd we I desire. We have lost
p . . . . ^
a'l we have to lose,—and how few are
missing, or if missed, many more have
come to take their places. The true
Northern Yankee practical sense is dis
covering its interests and what is patriot
ism, fast. The real issue is Taylor or
Cass. He who reasons wellf says : "Van
Buren will have a large number of elec
tors, but no electoral votes. Shall I then
vote upon an abstraction, and throw my
vote awtiy, as did the Birney men in
1844?" He answers no. "The best I
can dois to be done, and that is in voting
tire Taylor ticket. IfCass is elected then
comes the renewed war upon American
industry, the continued Sub-Treasury, the
rabid rampant man made President, who
in France adulated the King and Court of
France to the skies, but who at home is
stimulating his countrymen to all sorts of
wars and aggressions. Peace with the
soldier Taylor. War with the demago
gue Cass.- Home industry safe, with
Taylor from vetoes. Fower and Patron
age to oppose me, with Cass, "Buffalo
Hunts'' as well as Buffalo parties, with
Cass,—no more wars, nor conquests, with
Taylor. Cuba and Canada and Cass.—
Peace, Prosperity and Probity with Tay
lor."
"But remember Whigs, nothing is to
be done without Work. No man or par
ty deserves success but as it works. Work
is the Law of Life. Victory will have
nothing to'do but with Work . Whoever
or whatever will not work must die.—
Work alone works out everything succes
fully. As well sit down, and expect to
see corn grow, or bread made, when the
corn is grown, or clothes spring sponta
neously upon your own back and limbs
from the cotton pod or sheep's back, as
expect a political triumph unless you work
for it. Work, we repent, is the law of
life. He who stands still, jroes astern,—
for the world runs on and leaves him be
hind if"
Gen. Taylor in Pennsylvania .—The
Philadelphia Inquirer—one of the ablest
and best informed journal« in the State—
says :
We have hitherto refrained from spec
ulations as to the result of the Presidential
election in Pennsylvania, We have no
desire to deceive our friends hy false
hopes, or advance opinions unauthorized
by facts. An insight into a correspon
dence with all parts of the State, and the
reports of persons of good judgment, who
speak from personal observation, guaran
tee the belief of the reasonable and the
unprejedieed that the Taylor and Fill
more ticket will obtain the electoral vote of
this State by a large majority."
The Inquirer believes that Van Buren
I receive 15,000 Loeofoco votes in
Pennsylvania, and not more than one
thousand Whig Free Soil votes; and that
Taylor will obtain a large accession from
the rank and file of the Democratic par
ty. We place great faith in the state
ments of the Inquirer, having ever re
marked that it is a cool, dispassionate
and sagacious observer.
{(^Extract from a letter from nn intel
ligent citizen, of Natchez, dated Harrods
burg, Ky., Aug. 20th, 1848:
"On my way to Nashville, Tenn,. I was
of course alive to all that was doing in
politics. You may be assured that both
Kentucky and Tennessee will give very
large majorties for Geo. Taylor. Judge
M is here, and says, that it is under
stood, all through the east, that Taylor will
get all the eastern whig States, and that
Van Buren'9 nomination by the Free
Soil Convention seals Cass's fate in
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. It
seems to me that it is time southern men
were understanding that the race is be
tween a southern slaveholder and republi
can, and the enemy of southern institu
tions; and that Cass cannot be elected,
aud ought not to be thought oh I think
now the question is, TAYLOR or Van
BÜREN."
Another Witness—Senator Miller Sus
tained.
A Correspondentof the Charleston Cour
ier brings forward additional proof of the
inconsistency and tergiversation of Gen.
Cass upon the Wilmot Proviso question,
as charged upon him by Senator Miller,
of Nßw j Pof tfae Lenefit of a] ,
. . • .. , «
cr«pntipa rtn lliiu citriipnf tvn horr I pqi ' p tr»
sceptics oil this subject, we beg leave to
introduce the testimony of the Hon.JVIr.
Brienkerhoof, of Ohio, one of the reputed
fathers of the Proviso. It is taker, from
hid late speech before the Buffalo Con
vention, and is conclusive and unanswer
able.
"If the Wilmot Proviso is not Demo
cracy, then Gen. Cass' Democracy i3 en
tirely new. It is very green, (Laughter.)
For, not longer ago than one year, he
was loud in his complaints against John
Davis for talking against time, and thus
preventing him from having an opportu
nity for voting in its favor. Lewis Cass
was then no Democrat, according to the
logic of his advocates, or else he has
flopped over." (Laughter.)
# * * # • *
"I heard Gen. Cass speak in the Senate
of the United States. Hs then professed
to be in favor ofthe principle, but said it
was not t)ie time to act upon it. But a
short time before, he thought it was both
the time for action and expedient to act.
Now I cannot turn with him. 1 defy
Gen, Cass to contradict this statement.
If he attempts it, [can bring the testimony
of nine men—every one of them as good as
myself—to substantiate what 1 have said,
[We don't want them—your word is suf
ficient.] He knows it is true, and hence
the expression in his letter, "he thinks
there has been a change coming on in the
public mind, and in his own," [Great
laughter.] I would respect Gen. Cass'
opinions, if I thought they were sincere. I
respect the sincere opinions of any man,
though they lead to a change, for 1 have
experienced such myself. But I believe
that Gen. Cass thinks as J do, that the
Proviso is both expedient and unconstitu
tional. I believe that he put his hand in
his bosom, and took out his soul and laid
it out in view of the devil, for the pur
pose of receiving a little temporary ele
vation. (Laughter.) Let the North re
pudiate him. I believe the South will;
and if they do, perhas there will be others
getting up parties to burn barns. (Laugh
ter.)
Let it be remembered, adds the writer,
that Mr. Brinkerhooks a member of Con
gress, and has had eirery opportunity of
observing Gen. Cass' course upon this
question. He defies Gen. Cass to contra
dict the above statement, and promises to
produce the corroborating evidence ofnine
gentlemen, all as worthy of credence as
himself. As a witness, he is entitled to
full belief, inasmuch as his opposition to
Gen. Taylor is as strong as that to Gen.
Cass.— Bee.
(£rlf anybody wishes to see superlative
impudence personified, just l^t him listen
to a Cass speaker ten or fifteen minutes,
In that time he will hear it strongly
insisted that Gen. Taylor is a Wilmot
Provisoist find positively asserted that
Millard Fillmore is ?n abolitionist! And
this is done gravely, too, right in the face
of the damning fact that a democratic
President recently signed a bill in which
the Wilmot Proviso was incorporated
and that EVERY norhern democratic
senator and TWO southern democratic
senators voted for its passage through the
United States Senate!'—Brass must he
cheap this season.— Natchez Courier.
Massachusetts.—A- very large aud
enthusiastic Whig meeting was held at
Boston the evening of the 29th ultimo.
After regularly organizing, a series of
resolutions were read and unanimously
adopted: They pledged an active and un
divided support to Taylor and Fillmore,
as the best aud only means of securing a
sound conservative administration of our
government. The venerable and distin
islied Abbott Lawrence was present and
addrssed the meeting. He spoke in the
highest terms of Gen. Taylor, endorsing
him as a genuiue Whig, and a man in
every respect Cully competent to fill the
high office to which the honest people of
thU country were about calling him. A
number of other gentlemen made speech
es, after which the meeting ndjourned,
amid long and repeated cheers. At the
same meeting, whig delegates to the State
Convention were appointed,at the head of
whom is the Hon. Mr. Winthrop.
P. P. C.—A joke occurred at Wasb-
ington some time ago, which floats about
the fashionable circles there pretty freely;
When Mr. Cass was about to leave for
his home, he left his card with his broth
er Senators marked, as is usual in such :
cases, " P . P . C . " Mr. Berrien inquir
ed ot his wife, " What does this P. P. C.
mean?" "Why, my dear," said Mrs.
B.., "Your ignorance of conventional
manners quite surprises me. It means
pity poor Cass."
A Tough Story, —'Asl was hunting on
the banks of the Sarara,' said John Haw
kins, a sportsman famous for sheoting,
both with a long rifle and a long bow, 'I
saw a fine buck on the other side of the
river, and blazed away at him. Just asl
drew trigger, a big salmon leaped up in
the middle of the stream, right between
me and the deer. After passing through"'
him, I found the ball bored into a bee tree,
and the honey was running out in A
stream as large as a gun barrel. I looked'
around for something to plug up fhe holer
with, but there was nothing at hand but*
rabbit. So I caught him up and tried to •
jam his tail in the hole, but he struggled 1 *
so hard that he made me mad, and I flung
him away so hard, that I knocked over
three braces of partridges and a woodcock
with him.'
Discovery of Mummies at Durango.—
The Texas Star states that about a million '
have been discovered on the environs of
Durango, in Mexico. They are in a sitting
posture, but have the same wrapping,
bands, and ornaments, as the Egyptians.
Among them was found a sculptured
head, with a poignard of flint, chapleti>,
necklaces, &c., of alternate colored bea<£s,
fragments of bone, polished like ifory,
fine worked elastic tissues, probably our
northern Indian rubber cloth, moccasine
worked like those of our Indians of to-day,
bones of vipers, &c. It remains to contra*
ue these interesting researches, and Ame»
rica will become another Egypt to antiqua
ries, and her ruins will go back to th»
oldest period of the world, shoiviog doubt
less that the ancestors of the Montezu-
mas lived on the Nile.
