F. Botts' opinion of the Taylor nomination. After a nomination made by a convention met to repre tions of the whig party to support tho Taylor swin die, stated in his tipeech at Vauxhall, that he did no' doubt that the nomination was fraudulent. There was" said ho, "a promise of money but this pro m'Me was not made by Taylor, for I eousider him too honest a man, todo any thing of the kind; but at a meeting of Air. Clay's friends, at Philadelphia, it was stated by a gentleman, who hud it from one of his colleagues of the convention, that if the nomination of General Taylor aud Abbott Lawrence were secured, he v.

ould have a sum in his pocket of 3,000. (Applause.) The nominations, however, were made, and we wore called upon to accept them. Wo refused to endorse the nominations. (Cheers.) We waited for several weeks to see if Gen Taylor would accept the nomination, but there was no intimation, whatever, from him, that he would accept or reject it. (A voice He wouid'nt pay the postage." Another voice He wanted teu pence." Laughter.) At last the acceptance came but it was not such a letter of acceptance as I should like to have seen from any one, nominated as the organ of the whig' party.

(Cheers.) It was such a letter as might have been written to a nomination of the Native American party. (Cheers.) It was such a letter as might have been written iu reply to a nomination at the meeting where Mr. Mulinberg was president or as might, could, would, aud ought, to hu ve been written to any democratic nomination, of any principles, color, section, or complexion, (CheerB and laughter.) 'JTlic Taylor meeting at Vauxhall. The Taylor whigs had a large meting last night at Vauxhall garden, called to respond to the whig state nominations. Philip Hone called the meeting to order and Hen.

Win. Kent, was made president, with lots of vices. The resolutions lay down the old whig platform and throw Taylorism to the dogs. They go in straight lor abrogating the constitution and destroying the veto power are against the independent treasury are for a tariff ai ranged on the principle of protection are for harbor and river improvement by the general government and arc for free soii aud the Wihnol Proviso. Geu.

Leslie Combs, the southern Taylor mission ary, wns present and made a disgraceful speech, which is excused by the morning papers on the grouud that he was half seas over. His attack ou Gen. Cass was very violent and foolish, but will do no harm. IIo was finally carried off the stage, it i said, in a fainting fit, but probably to save him from greater folly and absurdity. Ogdeu Hoffman followed in one of his beautiful aud impressive speeches, in which he praised Filmore for his abolitionism nnd Taylor for his battles.

But the speech of the eveuiug was that of Horace Greeley. Poor Horace, the doughface, has been obliged to swallow Taylor, after all A friend said about eight days ago, that he would give Greeley two weeks to wire round into Taylor's tail, but it has not required that length of time. He is a pretty advocate of free soil, truly 1 Those who counted on him found him have without reliance aud without good faith. He goes for Taylor with his 280 niggers. What strange autics politicians will cut I The Globe reports his utterances thus His appearance on the platform was received with an outburst of enthusiasm, which contrasted strongly with the coldness and apathy that preceded rie nau not saw two words betore all that died out collapsed into a chill and disappointed silence.

He said he had not changed his position with res pect to Taylor. The ground which he had taken on the morning alter the nomination at Philadel phia to wit, that Taylor was only preferable to Cass and that if the North was ripe for a general movement for freedom, the Tribune was ready he still maintained. At this the Taylor men looked rather blank, aud their faocs said as plainly as words could, What next I He said lie had no abuse of Taylor to take back. He had not said he would never vote for him. Yet, as to ttie policy ol the nomination, he had nothiug to ietract.

Murmurs. It was bad policy and the nomination should not have beenmade. This Websterian touch seemed to strike home. Leslie Coombs looked foolish, Col. Webb.

Sullen, and the managers generally, trying lobe pleased, grinned horribly a ghastly smile. The Clay boys shouted liko ten thousand." Nevertheless, as either Tailor and Fillmoro, or Cass aud Butler must be elected, he thought, on the whole, as there was no choice, the ticket with one General was' better thau a ticket with two. The poor Taylor men seemed greatly relieved by this admission, being iu that situation where the smallest favors are most thankfully received. Still, this tnakiug Presidents of mere militrry men was all wrong, end if persisted in, would produce the worst resultB. Why notstop itnoui?" shouted a Clay man.

Hustle him out! down with him!" yelled tho Taylorites. On the free soil issue, he spoke at length, and with much earnestness but his remarks were but coldly received. The meeting had sense enough to see that talking up free soil is not the thing at Taylor demonstrations. In conclusion, he said lie did uot desire to impugu the course taken by iha friends of Iree soil, ele where. lie spoke only of what he thought was best, under all tho circumstances, in this place.

After repeating his damaging observations on the impolicy of Taylor's nomination, and his hope that it would not prove injurious to the whig party he sat down. The coon KK.OM ins holk. The Kxuress contains a lettter from Henry Clay to the Whig executive committee or New York city, replying to their request for something under his hand, denying that he countenances the movements iu his favor His letter is little more than a repetition of that to Slashes of Hanover convention, except that he protests cvhemently against Taylorite denunciations of those who cling to him, as fuctiouists. Nt a word does he say iu favor of Taylor, or by way of recommending hirn to the support of whigs on principle. Another Twist.

Ou Tuesday, the Evening Post was complaining because Ely Moore was making speeches in favor of Cass, Butler, and slavery. Yesterday it changed its tune, and wrote an article headed Ely Moore against Cuss." Now truth is consistent, and if our barnburner neighbor over in. the suburbs would "speak the truth aud shame the devil," it would be saved from theBe ridiculous absurdities. Here, iu Brooklyn, Mr. Moore was understood to speak againsl slavery, and in favor of Cass.

Just So. A whig meeting in Princeton, Massa chusetts, a few days ago, panned the following resolution "Whereas, Danic' Webster has pronounced the nomination of Taylor not fit to be made, tho people of Massachusetts, should declare it uot fit to bo supported."

Thence they marched to the Hudson river and look the steamboat Santa Claus for Poughkcep sie, where they arrived at half past ten at night. Here fliey found that great preparations had been made to receive them. The Poughkeepsie Fire Co. No. 1, whoso guests they were, had already arrived at the landing, attended hy the whole fire department of that place, aud also the several military companies.

Their receptiou was, therefore, magnificent, and they wero escorted, with due ceremony and with abundant music and numerous aud bright burning torches, to Rulzer's Poughkeepsie Hotel, the place provided for their quarters by the committee. Here they were elegantly entertained, during the two days of their slay and with every attention. The members of the company speak in the highest terms of this house and of the polite attentions of its worthy host. On Tuesday at about one o'clock, the line was formed and the company moved to the target ground, hack of the reservoir, to which place they were attended by company No. 1.

The shooting exhibited much skill aud the target has returned to this city with sad evidences of tho diieful effects of war." The prize judges were Francis B. Spinola, Elisha B. Morrell, and Mr. John Baker. The first prize of $20 was awarded to Henry Gascoyne, the ensign of the company, and the second prize of 10 to Hugh Armstrong.

In the evening Grangei's baud had their benefit, and they are represented to have performed iheir part first rate. They serenaded the several editors of the newspapers, some of the most distinguished citizens, the trustees of the villago, the chief engineer, and were everywhere received with tliehightst marks of favor. Indeed their music was delightful. Ou Wednesday morniug the line of inarch was formed, aud after a parade through the principal streets, they marched to the town Hall, where an abundant collation had been provided by Poughkeepsie Fire Co.

This scene closed, and the company marched to the dock, aud took the Heudrick Hudson for New York, where they arrived at an early hour, passing our office between five and six o'clock. In this city they received a number of invitations to partake of refreshments. Messrs. Sharp, T.

Gascoyne, Dutlon, and otheis, opened their houses and their hearts to them, aud Mrs. Gascoyne, the widow of their late foreman, invited them to her house.and provided liberally for their comfort aud enjoyment. In short, everything passed off delightfully, and the occasion is one to which they all look back with JiroMuro aiiu Mmt was all important pointof interest iu the excursion, and won for themselves the highest applause. Much of the pleasure of tho excursion is due to the admirable arrangements of the committee whose economy and good management deserve great praise.

State Prisons. Curtis Hmvlcy. Gen. Taylor' Modesty. General Taylor has wKh characteristic franknesa always expressed a deference of his ability to discharge the high functions of President of the United States in a manner suited to the dignity and responsibilities of tho position.

For this modest expression the Loco Focos have aet him duwn as a self acknowledged incompetent. Evening Star What nonsence! Gen. Taylor wns asked his opinion as to the necessity of a National Bank, and the effect of a high protective tariff, and the right of Congress under the constitution to create such a system of revenue. These were matters about which every wood chopper and bee hunter in the country had his opinions, and in regard to which every body but General Taylor had defined his position. But what did General Taylor answer to these questions? Why, that ho had not informed himself that he could not answer without investigation that ho had been a soldier all his lifo, aud hia time having been taken up with other matters, lie did not know.

This may have been modesty, but it was not the modesty of knowledge, but the modesty of ignorance. Here are his words As regards the second and third inquiries, I am not prepared to answer them I could only do so after duly investigating those subjocts, whieh I cannot now do; my whole lime beinj fully occupied in attending to my proper official duties, which must not be neglected under any circumstances and I must say to you in substance what 1 have said to others in regard to similar matters, that I am no politician. Nearly forty years of my life have been passed in the public service, in tho army, most of uie ume in me field, tlie cainp, on our western lrou tier, or in the Indian country and for nearly the two last, iu this or Texas, during which time I have not passed one night under the roof of a house. We do not doubt Gen. Taylor's modesty, but we certainly see no evidence of it in this passage.

He did not know, aud therefore acknowledged that he could not answer. He was much better informed respecting swords and pistols, than respecting banks and tariffs. He acknowledged honestly (not modestly) thai lie was no politician, and gaye as a reason for his ignorance, his long service in the camp, and hia necessary withdrawal irom all civil affairs. This may be all very well in ilself, but it certainly is not a very high recommendation for the Presidency. The Tariff and the Buffalo Convention.

It is mistrusted by many that the Buffalo platform contains a high Tariff resolution. The following comparison of the three resolutions adopted by the three successive Conventions of Herkimer, Utica, and Buffalo, shows the influence of new alliances in modifying the free trade doctrines which the Barn busnersof New York once so violently advocated. The Van Burcnites, at their Mass Convention in Heikiiner, last fall, adopted the following resolu tion: Resolred.That wcare in favor Freb Trade, believing it to be the true doctrine, both in an economical and political point of view." At the Utica Conventiou, last spring, they resolved thai they were in favor of A Reaenuk Tarutf at fjiksent, to meet the ordinary expenses of Government." At the recent Bufiuio Convention, they adopted the following resolution: Resolved that the obligations of liouor and patriotism require the earliest practicable payment of the national debt, and we are therefore itf favor of sueh a tariff of duties as will raise revenue adequate to defray the necessary expenses of the Federal Go venment, and to pay annual instalments of our debt and of the interest thereon." It is thought by many that this resolution covers a high tariff policy. When democrats abandon their party, they insensibly imbibe all the federal principles which they had once discarded. The western people generally favor free trade, and there lore they will not look with favor upon any such attempt to impose a high tariff.

Milwaukee Wiscon Practicable politicians There were many passages in the speech of John Minor Botts, at Vauxhall ou Tuesday night, which afforded food for reflection to thinking men. The orator said that he had been charged with being an impracticable whig," but he was at a loss to comprehend what was meant by this charge as applied to him. He said in subutance, If to be faithful to my principles and the man who is their great founder, aud to have nothing to do with availability or expediency, makea me an impracticable, then 1 am one. I know what a practicable politician is, however Mr. Van Bureu is one Cass is one General Taylor is one; and all the old Federalists who have ever joined the Democratic puny were practicable politicians who were ready to sacrifice their principles for the sake of gratifying their ambition." Mr.
