sity. Our engagements forbid us tho pleasure of \ ^ Migs Brf
if the birth-day of Wash-
iversary of the glcrious conflict
place the hero of that victory at
the head of our columns as the People’s Candid
ate for President. The truthfulness and sim
plicity of the character of General Taylor’s life—
the integrity of his character—his determination in
battle—his moderation in victory—his clear per
ception and bold advocacy of truth, and his patri
otic devotion, untrammelled by party bonds to the
country he has so nobly served, all combine to re
commend him, at this crisis, as the man most de
serving of the Chief Magistracy of the American
Republic.
Closing with the following prophesy:
** Hundreds of Journals, like the Southern Patri
ot, will we think, be soon found throughout the
broad expanse of our land, responding to the ac
clamations of the People:
“ Well done thou good and faithful servant—
thou hast been faithful over few things, we will
make thee ruler over many.”
Mr. Clay.—The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Courier gives the following gossip:
“ Mr. Clay dined yesterday with a large party at
the President's, where every thing went off in fine
style, and apparently without the least surprise to
any one present. Not a word was said on the war,
or the subject of Mr. Trist’s Despatches, and Mr.
Clay, though not yet a candidate for the Presidency,
was decidedly the Lion of the feast.
“ It is rumored here, and the rumor can be traced
to pretty responsible sources, that Mr. Clay has be
come satisfied that he cannot be elected and has
written a letter of Declaration to a prominent Sena
tor, in which he recommends the nomination of
Zachary Taylor.”
Frozen to Death.—Mrs. Himes, a young mar
ried woman, was frozen to death in Leyden, Lewis
county. New York. She went with her husband
five miles to church; returning on foot, he stopped
at the house of an acquaintance, while she passed
on, lost her way, and was found on Wednesday,
where she had made her bed in the snow, taken off
her bonnet, and laid down to die. From the cir
cumstance of a new pair of shoes being nearly worn
out, it is supposed the poor woman walked from
Sunday afternoon to Tuesday night.
Ficirr with the Camakciies.—The Victoria
(Texas) Advocate of the 3d inst. says—“ News has
reached town this morning, which we are disposed
I to credit, that Capt. Henry McCulloch with hi
! company of Rangers had a fight a few days sine
with a party of Camanches, a short distance above

My attention was called to a alight remark of
the Dahlonega Watchman, in reference to my ex
posure of the Editor of the Banner; and this is to
correct a mistake, into which, with Democratic pe
culiarity, he had fallen. He no more understood
my allusion to our Mexican Army, than did the
Colonel, Sir. Calhoun’s speech.
I did not hint Gens. Taylor and Scott as the pos
sible traitors—to be rebellious, but alluded to the
contingency of training a powerful army in Mexi-

of the Government; and to annex all Mexico, and
to have, necessarily, a large Army continually

the Constitution as Emperor of Mexico, and long a
stranger to free Institutions, despising our popular
habits and the will of freemen, any General there
less than a Whig and who is a Democrat, would
not be a safe creation for these States.
What a pity is it, that the Watchman, instead of
uttering nonsense and jibs, canpot argue with Lu
