JOURNAL AND MESSENGER. S. T. CHAPMAN & S. ROSE, Editors. 71,110 I, GEO. THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1847. HEVOV4L. The Journal At Messenger Printing and Job Office, haa been removed to Scott Ac. Oorhnrt’a range, opposite the Static Hank Bun ding, and a few doors South of the Floid House. Having now the largest assortment of Job and U am- CYtmin the State, the proprietors feel assured, that they can give entire satisfaction to their patrons, both as to prion, and the promptness, and style of execution, of their work.— Circulars, Cards, Bills of Lading, Dray Receipts, Bill heads, Ware-house Receipts, Pamphlets, Hand bills, Election Tick et*, Atc n Ate., exec ute J with neatness and despatch. Now Typo. We are happy to announce the arrival of our new type in Savannah. The readers of the Journal \ Siestcngtr may therefore expect to greet it next week in a complete new dress. Charge of Day of Publication.—At the request of i. large number of our subscribers in Craw ford, Talbot and adja cent counties, and in order to meet the mails, wo have deter mined hereafter to publish the Journal Sc Messenger on Wed nesday, insteud of Thursday, as at present. This will enable us to give to all our readeis the very latest news from both the North and West. Should any important intelligence from tin •eat of war arrive on Wednesday, we will have ample time t •top the press and furnish it to the large mass of our subscrib ers residing in South-Western Georgia and Florida, as well a* the counties of Jones, Putnam, Ate. The Journal Sc Messen ger will then reach most of our patrons at the same time as tin Milledgeville papers, and contain two days’ Inter intelligence Whig Meeting: in Ilitth. The Whigs of Bibb County are respectfully requested to meet at the Court House, in the city of Macon, on Tuesdtn next, the 12th instant, at 12 o’clock M., for the purpose of hc lecting delegates to the Whig Convention to nominate u candi date for Governor,and for other purposes. MAPS! MAPS! MAPS! Mr. Wilde, the the travelling agent of the Messrs. Mitchell, is now in Macon, and offers for talc a large collection of llteii maps, churls, atlases, Alc. See. We hnvo examined several of i his works and think them well worthy of patronage. He has in the collection, Mitchell's new map of Mexico; of Oregon; und Upper California ; a mnp of the World ; Reference and Dist ance map of the United States; an atlas of Ancient and Modern History; and a very valuable 44 Out line Chart, shewing tin rise, progress, decline and fall of the principal nations und em pires of the World.” This Chart is to history, what a mop is to Geography, and will be found of immense value ns u refer ence, particularly for students mid others, who may desire to fumiliarize themselves with dates us well n with great nation al events. The map of Mexico, though not very comprehen eive, is accurate as fur us it goes, and must posses increased interest at the present moment, especially when regarded in connection with the stirring event* which are daily transpir ing in that quarter. ItrSee Advertisement. Mat Dat.—One of the most interesting sights with which our eyes were greeted on tho first of May, was the procession and celebration of the Habhath School children connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church. After a variety of interest ing exercises at the Church, in which the youth appeared to great advantage, a procession was formed and marched to th< Academy square whore an appropriate collation was prepared and where they apparently enjoyed themselves greatly for tin balance of the morning. Children, always lovely are never more so thun on occasiom of this kind, and we are only astonished that at such seasons there is not a general union of all the schools in the city.— Those who would separate children in these interesting cel ebrations, according to sect or rank, ought to remember tha* the Gienl head of the Church himself has said that ‘‘of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Military.! —The several Military corps of Macon, celeb™ ted the Ist of May with becoming ceremonies. The Bibb Cav wlrv.Capt R> lander, the Macon Volunteers, Copt. Conner, and the Floyd Rifles, Capt. Ross, each para.leu dating iW. a*, in fine style. The Cavalry and Volunteers en matte, togethei with a number of invited guests, partook of a sumptuous din ner with the Rifles at the Floyd House. This latter corps re ally made a most elegant and imposing display in thrir new and tasteful uniform. They diillcd with much piecision and passed through their various evol lions with a promptness which showe I at once the tnetai of the men and the capacity of their offic era. Re ckption of Mr. Webster.— The Committee appointed by the citizens of Macon, to muke arrangements for the recep tion and entertainment of the Hen. Daniel Webster, are re quested to meet at the Reading Room of the Journal Sc Mes senger Office, on Saturday next,at 4 o’clock. The following gentlemen compose the Committee: Dr. Robert Collins, Win. B. Johnston, James Dean, Jerrv Cowles, John B. Ross, Isaac G. Seymour, R. L. Atkinson, S T. Chapman, Samuel J. Ray, Jns. A. Nisbet, George M. |.c> fan, P. E. Bowdre, J. B. Ayres,T. A. Brow n, Dr. James M* Green,asd Samuel R. Blake. Thf. Prospect—The Crops.— Thus far the season has been remarkably unpropitious. It has either been too cold or too dry, and in many counties the planters find it impossible to get a good stand of cotton. The wheat crop too in many of the upper counties promises badly ; while both the young corn and cotton in sevaral counties have been greatly injured bv tnvriad* of grasshoppers, which seem to sweep every thing before them. What effect the copious rains of the Inst three daya may have upon the prospects of the farmer remains to he seen. It is to be hoped that these hardy sons of toil mu v con tinue to be. blessed with abtiuduuce—tint their “garners and ! their stores” may not only be well filled, hut thut the produce I •f their labor limy always couiuiund u remunerating price. ET The Supreme Court of tlio Slate of Georgia has hern in •easion at Milledgeville, during the present week. Some thir teen eases were carried up from the Courts below, which the Recorder thinks will consume the time of the Court during the entire ween. Rvil Road Survey. —The Engineer corps connected with the Centru! Railroad, commenced on Monday last, the survey of the direct route from lhicity to Columbus. The object of this survey, we understand, is t > obtain accurate information j is regard to the route, in case the Road from BarnetiviHe to Columbus should fail to be built. Fortunately, the same route for a distance of some twenty-five or thirty miles will answer | both for the Columbus and South Wernern Road, so (hat in | Bov event, that part of the labor will not bn Inst. The survey we understand, is under the general superintendence and con trol of Mr. Reynolds, Chief Engineer of the Central Rond. In sisted by Messrs. Holcomb, Houston and Powers, all well know n as gentleman of ability and experience. The Victory—The Georgia Regiment.— While the people of Georgia are heartily rejoicing over the brilliant vic tory of Ccrro (•onlo,\Uey cannot hut regret the sad fate of the Georgia Kegimeut,iii not being able to reach the ground before the route of (lie Mexicans. ‘Hie brave Georgians have been peculiarly unfortunate. After huving traversed one half of Mexico, endured all the rigors of the rtiinotn, und obtained the reputation of being one of the best drilled regiment* in the I service, it appears to be their luck to be always hard by, but never in a fight When Taylor look Monterey” they were ail vancinf front Canmrgo—owing to udverse winds they were thrown into the second lme nt Vera Cruz, and onlv u handful of them had an opportunity to “smell powder,” Scott allowed them to march to Alvarado, especially for a fight, when the cowardly Mexicans ran away Irefore a euu was tired. Return ing to Vera Cruz the command to whi, h they were attached was delayed bv ilc-1 and Inf of the horses oft he Tomm Cav alry, and they were again thrown into the rear and probably did not reach Ccrro Gonlo until the fight was over. This in no fault of theirs, nor of their gallant officers, because u bravo? set of men or men more anxious fur distinction are not to lie found. We would not he surprised if the Regiment under such cir cumstance*, were to resolve, regardless of the expiration of their tiuie of service, in pay at least a passing visit to tho ‘‘Hall* of the Montexuiuas” before returuing to Georgia. The New Fountain.—The Bachelors in the vh Inity of Washington Hull are certainly to be envied, as they hi VS ROW. when crossed in love, not only a beautiful and commodious fountain in which to drown tlieunielves, but a comely Goddess to furnish • per|>*iual supply of the pure fluid, which we trust may give peace and quiet to their troubled spirits. We slum Id not be surprised if their less favored brethren in and around the Floyd (louse, were to grow jealous and commit some act of violence upon the houiely structure in that neighborhood, I hitherto dignified with the name of jei ‘d tan. Seriously, the Acts fountain is a most tasteful structure, and the enterprise j of the gentleiusa who designed it, is worthy not only of all praise hut ol prompt and special Imitation. The Havanneh Republican of tbe 14th inst , gives the follow ing gratifying intolligenae: •Central Railroad Eight per Cent Stock —At II o’clock yealerdy morning no less than Three Hundred and Forty-Two Thousand Dollars of the Central Railroad Stock had been taken. This leaves not quite a hundred and llfiv thousand dollar* more to ba disposed off, which will he taken up as a matter ofcourae. We are inform’d that the most of ihia Stock haa been taken by the citixens ol Savannah.” Episcopal Costxwtios.—The Annual Convention of the Ffßlestant Episcopal Church of ths Diocese of Georgia, ruaeta IB flavanrah (Thnradsv.) this day The Ssuth-wmtern Railroad—As the lime for ih* meeting of the Amuricua Railroad Convention, approaches the interest of the people of South-western Georgia, appear? lo in crease. A writer in the lust Albany Courier, states thut the counties of Houston, Macon, Dooly, Randolph, Sumter, Stew art, Early, Lee and Baker, will hnvo full delegation* present, and urges the counties of Thom is, Lowndes and Decatur, also to send delegations. This is ns it should he. The propoetd Convention is to be held for conferrenco, for consultation, for u general interchange of views, ol facts und opinions, and it is to be hoped that the South-west tuny prove that she is in earnest, that she is resolved to make a special i-ffort to reach sn Atlan tic port. Let her jieoplc therefore, nud her representatives, one und uii, meet together and (abandoning for once all local and sectional interests and pr< judicce,) devise some proper scheme for developing the wealth arid resources of the noldcst section of the Slate. No portion of Georgia has been so long or so palpably neglected, ns the. very section ol which we now speak. It is even now ns completely cut off from all inter course with the balance of the State, as w as the rity ol Savan nah prior to the construction of the Central Railroad. Its lands are eminently productive, and have generally been well cultivated, lint the profits .f the planters have been almost en tirely absorbed by the freights,commissions, storage, and insu- rance, in’ ident to getting their produce to a Northern or For eign poit. If the citizens could get easy access to on Atlantic market, ni-d at the same time t i the high, healthy provision region of the State, the populition of the South-western coun ties would be doubled in less than fiveyeure. The production of Cotton too would be more than doubled, because the means of improving the soil arc at hand,and the only stimulus required to induce the people to apply them, would be the competition that must follow the completion of such an enterprise. We are not disposed to be visionnrv, or ultra in pressing a matter of this kind upon the public ; but it is our firm conviction, that the increased value of property in South-western Georgia, consequent upon the completion of the proposed Road, would more than build ten such works. An intelligent planter resid ing in one of the counties some distance from the supposed line of the road, informed us recently that he firmly believed the construction of the work would double the value of every acre of Lind which he possessed. Our friends residing at a distance from commercial marts have but little idea of the effect which proximity to a market has upen the value of real estate. It has been felt, especially in Lherokee, not only on the increased value of land, but the greatly reduced expense of getting their productions to maikct. An intelligent farmer of Cass county not long since informed us that he would willingly pay a tax of one thoutand dollars per annum into the State Treasury rather than he deprived of the advantages of the existing Rail road communication with the Atlantic. He said he had then on his person ttpwurds of S3OOO, obtained for corn sold in the city of Savannah, which, at the I hen print would not have re alized him more thun one half [he sum, hud he been compelled to transport it to that market ns formerly, by wagons and steam boats. A few facts of this kind are worth volumes of fine spun theories and ingenious argument. They constitute an appeal to the pocket which can be easily understood by nil who have the control of capital, and who seek to make it profitable. Troup Factory —Few of our readers are apprised of the rapidity with which the manufacturing interests of Georgia are extending In almost every county where there are suffi cient means and water power for the purpose, men ore com billing ili.-ir capital and investing it in machinery. Nor is this astonishing. The prosperity enjoyed by the little county of Upson, snd which is in part (ho result ol her manufactur ing enterprises, is quite sufficient to arrest the public atten tion, an.l arouse capitalists to a sense of their own interests. Columbus, Augusta and Cherokee have left these influences and acted accordingly. We arc now pleased lo add that sev eral gentlemen in the great and enterprising county if Troup, have also • mhurked in the business, A letter from a friend there, announces the fact that “ Troup Factory, 11 situated about 10 miles south eust of La Grange, is now nearly com |>leted,and will he. in successful operation in about two mouths. It is owned by Messrs. Robertson, Leslie & Cos , gentlemen ol character and cnpitul, und who have every qualifk ation fur a successful prosecution of the enterprise. They will com mence operation with IGflO spindles and 20 looms. This,how ever, is but the “beginning ol the end.” In a few years,it properly managed, Troup Factory will he not only a source ol profit toils owners, hut the centre of an inditatrious thrifty village, furnishing a home market for a part of the cotton pro duced in the county, as well as for the surplus provisions nti**d in its immediate vicinity. It will employ hundreds who are now idle, who have not the means to live without work and who ure too proud to labor side by side with the ordinary operatives ol the South. One of the strongest reu sous for the encouragement of manufactories lo re, is the in fluencr which they will have upon a certain class of our white population, and the opportunities they will offer to that class ol attaining competency, Comfort and intelligence. \\ lierev er the experiment has been properly tried, this bus been the result. Whole families have been reclaimed from idleness, poverty, and even suspected vice, and become industrious, thrifty and respectable—realizing handsomely themselves, and still more handsomely for H eir employers. We Itu e heard the opinion expressed, that these enterprises, though hitherto very profitable, must fail to be so io future, in toast queries of the competition. Tin re is no danger of such a result, for sev eisl reasons. In the first place, the profits of manufacturers in Georgia have been enormous, varying from thirty to Ji/ty per c ent. In one instance, we have been assured (hut the cupitul has been doubled within two years. In the second place, the production of (lie Southern Mills has not y* I reached one-ttceni-Ulk of the consumption, even ol the South, and it is very evident, thut w ith a few years expe rience, we (shall he enabled lo con.pete with ihe Northern mills in the markets of the world, and peihups even of the North. Thirdly, there is no danger of manufacturing enterprises fail ing at the South, because of the greater cheapness of the raw material, previsions and luhor, und of the still greater ttdvan tngea of climate here enjoyed. If driven by water, our mills are not liuhle to he obstructed by snows and ice, w Inch for one tli.rd of ihe year check operations nt the North. K, outlie contrary, steam is used, wc have fuel in greater abundance and variety. To suv nothing of the mineral wealth of the moun tains, our forests of pine o e hut little iuferi r in value to the coulbeds of the middle nnd western States, a rid infinitely su- I periorto those of New England. We are on the verge of a i great and important change in the whole system of mutiufitc- tun's—one which is about to aulx-tilute gleam, nearly in evr- j ry inainnce, for tenter palter, — not only ns a more economi cal motive power, but as u laige contributor to the value of the manufactured unifies. The experiments made in New York, have so fully proved the correctness of this statement, that/our companies have recently been organized at Utica, with a capital of from SIOO 000 to $300,000 each, expiessly to manufacture both wool and cotton by gleam. One of the mills is already in operation and we I cum from the Utica Gazette that “ the steam, in addition to its heating the buildings, and driving the machinery, is used to dry, full, dye, and soften the fabrics with the most perfect success. The steam, after per forming these various functions, is condensed and (raunformed into the purest wuiei, which is used in waidiTng and cleaning the wool, to which it imparts great softness ai.d lustre. The gieuter steadiness of motion which is given to the machinery, •uables them to produce Imili yarns and cloths of more uni form qu.ility. The good* thus tar produced ure in groat de mand, and are nought for iu New York und Huston, at which latter place lltey huve brought a handsome advance upon the usual prices.*’ Facta like there ought not to he lost sight of by the citizens of Macao. There ate residing ill Bibh and the suriouuding counties, planters enough who, out of the surplus means re alized from their last cotton crop, could establish two or three ■team factories, without feeling the outlay. The management of the whole n(T nr could he con totted to some competent ni and euteipiising person, who, by manufacturing the cotton pro duced upon their own pluntiUioii, would enable theui to re alias twice as in del) ua the) ifow do from the raw material.— Merchants at the Nmth carry on maoufttclui ing uaa collate ral brunch of business, why may not Southern planters do likewise? Is Taylor a Wiiio?—lu regard to the political position of Gan. Taylor, the Flwltulrlphia U. H. Gazette says: “We are satisfied that within forty duya Gen. Taylor has said to a gentleman about to leave him for the United Slates, ‘Nevermind whm they say ; I tell you, ams you may tell them If you choose, I uni a Whig; and it they have any doubt of it after that, tell them I am n Clay Whig/” Several of our Democratic cotemparies have recently given out that Gen. Taylor is not a Whig, and it has ever, been hinted that in the June Convention of the party in this Stale, ail effort would he made to forestall the Whigs, and nominate the old lleru for the Presidency. We have not tin* slightest objection to their doing ao. Indeed euch a course may be necessary to preserve oven their party identity, hut we do not wiah to see even our opponents essentially Ty/erited, ns they certainly will he, if they expect Gen. Taylor to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Polk. The excessive uneasiness manifested by the Dem ocratic press throughout the country, shows that they are ap palled at the unparalleled popularity of (ten Taylor, and are convinced that hi election is certain unless he can bo destroy ed with tha Whigs. Hence they catch and circulate every floating rumor that ranches tham in regard to hie anti-Whig gery, or his refusal to permit (ha* party fn use his name, in 1 connection with the uppronchiug canvass. It is very likely that nil their munouvering, and all their transcendental essays upon the subject will be in vniu. The popular verdict is al ready made up, and so certain as the old Hero is alive, and a* tho Mexican war is ended. In* w ill be transferred from tho tent to the White House, nnd the commander of the little army oi Buena Vista, will he the recognized lieutl of twenty millions ol , people. Inr.r ami —We scarcely deem it necessary to call the nt lenlion iif the American reader lo the thrilling article, copied in another column, from tin- Dublin Ration , ill regard to the : •‘Famiii in Ireland and ihe of Atnei lean sympathy.” L I speaks lor itself; and w bile. it is calculated to sudden the lieail ut the contemplation of the w rong* ami hjurbsof that long *u!fi ring people, it presents American character and A men- ! can charity in no unenviable light. N\ bile Lnglish states- i men were most zealously denouncing the American peo ple and institution*, Americans, f.ee.m n and slaves too, j have been engag’ and ill feeding ihe millions w ho have been driv- ■ eu to starvation r.ml i!t nth by the oppressions of their j government. Is it wonderful thut the Irish press should re* j turn us thanks in language that is almost iiensotiube towards the Crown T left waudeiful that Irishmen should feel doubly grateful to their kindred and fiien Is, who in this fardistantj land have given freely of their substance fir the relief of their starving brethren? Am mica lias dune much and doservtv well, but she ought to have dme more She ought to have given utterance to the voice of the whole people, and in her j national capacity sai l t > th* naked and famished Irishman, “be ye clothed ami be y e led” out of our abundance. The fail ure by a partiznn vote to pa*s flic resolutions of Measts. Crit renden and H unt, granting half a million of dollars for the re- 1 lief of Ireland, was indeed a blot open our fair fame, A Con gress which could appropriate fifty fight millions of dol- : lars for wor purpose s, to protnote human suffering on this con- j liuenl, ought to have given ut least htUf a million lo alleviate sufferings oil the other side of ihe Atlnnlic,and to extend the I name und fume of the land of Washington. It would liav | been a gift unstained by blood,sunct'oncd by the nobiesi feel- | mgs of the human heart, and sanctified bv the prayers and ! blessings of million* of lli- Irish people. THE MEXICAN V H.LW'TEERS. “ Wo understand,” s.i vs the Washington Union of the 17ili instant,“ttial the ('resident of the United Stu es is aluiiii to cull immediately about 6,000 inure volunteer troops into the public service. I hey are principally intended lo fill up the places of the volunteers whose line i* nhoiti to expire. It is probable ilt nt ninny of them will renew iheir engagements, , hut, to provide lor n:iy possible contingency, it is deemed bea; lo muke the present r ill.” The New Oilcans Cicayune.'iu commenting upon the above says: From ail that we can learn, the Union will be grievous ly disappointed in respect t the renewal of their engagement* by many oI the volunteers who*’- term of service is about lo expire, it i* not supposed here that a single regiment can be formed out of nil the twelve months’men now in Mexico.— The volunteers who won the glorious buttle of Buena Vista are on their way home. One of the Kentucky regiments is already at the Brazos. Col. Jefferson Davis* regiment will soon be (hero, and liie Illinois and Indi.mu troops will follow. We learn from officers a id men that there is no disposition to J ie-enl'Ht. I’he account* from Gen. Scott's column are Bit more Kali-factory. The determination to return home, as soon a* their enlistment* expire, is universal. The officer* are us lit (It*, desirous as the men, of’ remaining in the service ; so that ? lie whole of Gen. Taylor’s Buena Vista army with the ex ception of a lew regular.*, and a bilge portion of Gen. Scutt’s, will shortly leave the field. Tbe reason for this universal desire to quit the sei vice has been explained to us. Tim no nos Monterey and Buena Vista assert, und with good oa*on, that ihe hiurnis that have been j won by them have been garnered by the Government to deco- I rule o her brows. They say, and with truth, that no valor, i no sacrifice, no victories of iheir* cun ii)9ure*lheirpromotion, or protect them against being overslaughed by inexperienced officers, hml subjected to the commuiid of political appointe s. They poii t lo the miserable remnant* of regiments which ihey lead to the army with well fill ‘d ranks und swelling as ‘ piralious, in token of the hardships they have, euff-icd and the perils they have encountered, and then refer to the army reg;*- ter to sec how such serv ices ure rewarded. They feel that the qualities which they have exhibited in front of blazing batte ries ure not the ones w hiclt insure rank,und they retire lo give place to those w ho possess them Thk Whigs of Madison County.-- The Whigs of Madi son assembled at Daniolsville, on the 23d ult , nnd nominated Dr. Sims and Capt. James Long, us Delegates to the W hig Gubernatorial Convention, nnd R. I\ Griffith and B. S. Ware as their alternates, in case the former gentlemen should fail lo attend. A series of spirited and patriotic resol utious in regard to the war were offered ; the conduct of the army in the several battles was highly applauded, nnd the effort of Mr. Folk to su percede tbe gallant commanders by Lieut. Gen. Benton, very properly denounced. The sympathies of the Whigs of Geor gia were teudered lo Mr. Clay for tlie loss of bis son in the blqpdv battle of Buena Vista, and the following unmistakenLlc resolution was then enthusiastically passed .

The truth is, the people of tius Old Dominion were about as tired of Polkery as the sturdy yeomen of Georgia were in 1345* of the flnunciul and relief operations of the so called Democ racy. In Georgia they went for Crawford and a good curren cy. In Virginia they have gone for Gen. Taylor, and a return to the simple, honest administrative policy of Washington, Jefferson and Madison. Thk First Railroad in the U. States.—We learn from the Savannah Republican , thut the riist Railroad ever con structed in the United States, was built by H. McAi.pin, Esq., near that city. It was made for the purpose of removing a large frame house. The flange ruil was used and cast at a Foundry just then erected there. ‘The road is now in use. Tin* goodly city of .Savannah has therefore the credit of hav ing had not only the first Ocean Steam Ship hut the first Rail road in the Union. Long may her citizens enjoy the golden benefits, which we firmly believe these great modern improve ments are destined to shower upon her. She deserves well of the State, and we are only astonished that Georgians, as one man do not strive to turn every particle of their trade to their own seaport, instead of diverting to the commercial emporium of a sister State. The Peach Crop.—The impression in Maryland and New Jersey, is that the Peach crop has been greatly injured by the Inie cold.

CORRIirOIDfMT OF THK JOURNAL AND MESPI NOlll. MILLEDGEVILLE, MAY *>, 1847. Gentle men :—ln your last paper you refer to a report that the Slate House had lately been on fire. Your informant was mistaken. On Saturday evening, the 24i1l ultimo, about half past seven o’clock, alter I had uinill'll my letter, one of the chimneys of the .State House was discovered to he on fire, and excited considerable alarm. The evening being chilly, the ■ guard had piled on a littlv l*o lunch lightwood. I her.* was no Inn in done; hut a number were interrupted in the enjoy- I me lit ol their supper*, to rejoice with what breath they had i left aftei their‘ hit haste” to the Capitol, ihtt another uhirui li id ended iu smoke. It is rather amusing to witness tlie awkward excitement w hie h betrays itself in the camp ol Democracy. Like the busy inhabitant* of ill* ant-hill, w hen sonic intruder’s foot has scat tered the half fiiii*hed monument of their labors, they hesitate, cross each other’s path, and turn in every direction, undecided as to “which end” they should begin their repairs ut. Yd with what coolness they would have us believe they ure taking things as they come; ami with what more than coolness they would now nppropiiutc the tin me am) fume of a “Whig Gen eral” to Dcinocrtuic uses—a name that run never avail them— a fume that many of tln ni would have tarnished. .Skipping over the had appearances of many things, ns pre sented by the conduct of the Administration iu its various re lation* nml connections with Genetal Taylor, permit me to glance at a few tangible facts. A W lug member of Umigress proposed the usual vole of thanks to Gen. Taylor and his commuud, for their brilliant achievement at Monteiey. It is know ii to the whole country thl a proviso , ns insulting to the General as disgraceful In the majority, was proposed by .Mr. Thompson, a Democrat, n and tacked on to tiiat vote of thanks. VII who voted for the proviso w* re Democrats; not a \\ big was found in their compuny. ‘The Lieutenant Generalship was then the absorbing Democratic idea—Gen.'Taylor was then marked for removal—and this proviso was but a prelude to the grand object iu view. A few lincumpoops, hot half dulled for the manoeuvre, and emboldened by their folly, vol unteered as tools tor the occasion They were but few—those oratoifi-u devoted ti iu—fastened oil the angler’s hook like minnows, und cast into unknown waters to see what they could catch. Mr. Ficklin said,‘‘lie might add, with the army in command and ii Whig General, ami with the opposition of W hig members, there wus no doubt tin* war would he crippled.” Mr. ‘Thomp son tin tight Genetal Taylor was only fit for a “subordinate position.” Mr. Wick suid “a Whig ought not to command ihe army.” A ft- r u protracted discussion, tin* c haracter of which is sufficiently indicated by the above short extra* is, the Demo cratic House tacked on the infamous proviso! Prior to all this, (and from which the faithful Imd taken their cue.) the President had delivered his annual message, and spoken in de tail ol Ihe splendid victories of the Bth and 9.b of May. but had not found room for the name of Taylor in that volumin ous document! The Commander-in-chief, the gallant veto ran who had gained those victories and shed undying lustra on American arms, was not even named by the Chiel Magis trate of the country when giving an official uccoimt of those victories to the American Congress! Why? win? If Gen. Taylor had been a supple pnrtizan of the Administration would this sombre und insinuating sih nee have been observed by Mr. Polk t ‘Then came the effort to remove the good hero out of the way of Democratic plans, by appointing Mr. Benton Lieuteu ant General. ‘The silly attempt failed. General Taylor was thrown into probable inactivity—or, hy apparent design, was placed in a position and iu circumstances where it was not then considered probable he could win new Tiurtds to decorate his already full grown chaplet. Again envy and jealousy m* t a most signal rebuke. The victoiy of Buena Vista has few parallels in the annals of war. Now, in the teeth of all such stubborn facts as these—for these are only a part—certain Democratic presses are coolly claiming to be the peculiar guardians of Gen. Taylor's fame. The Federal Union promises “not to brand his triumphs with the reproach that they were achieved iu an unjust and infa mous war; but will do all they can to preserve unsullied his fame!'* Their tardiness might subject them to the suspi* ion of being “sunshine friends.” W hen his fame was assailed by Democrats in Congress—when Mr. Polk slighted his name— when the “infamous” proviso wns tacked on to a vote of thanks—when the attempt was made to supersede him in his command—why did not the federal Union then do all it could toprtserve “unsullied his fame?” Indeed, it might not be a “violent presumption” to presume that the “infamous ‘ proviso met their nppioval! Certain of these presses pretend to be uneasy about Demo cratic principles and party issues,in connection with General Taylor’s name for the Presidency—claiming ut the same lime, ihut upon those issues the General leans to Democracy—in deed, is almost a Democrat. ‘Their opinions may suit their convenince for the occasion, nnd 1 perceive no present necessi ty for depriving them of their last ‘ flattering unction.” But I will venture to warn them that in the ensuing Presidential election there is likely to be but one great “issue” before the country, which, like Aaron’s serpent, will swallow up the rest:—How can the country he saved from the ulterior conse quences of Ihi* unfortunate and corrupt administration? I hat w ill he the question. As free agents, they may choose which side they like—but old Zack seems to have been dropped down from the stars for the especial purpose of deciding it. I will beg leave, in conclusion, to admonish h< me of those zealous guardians of the hero’s fame, tube cautious It muv so turn out. that after they shall have ascertained his political complexion precisely to a shad**, their party scenes may shift so as to throw them into opposition to him. I: ibis should happen, they must be true to their vocation. “A word to the wise.'* Alc. Yours, Ate.
