Tho way to mnho Money. We have frequently heard persons express a curiosity to know how certain venders of quack medicines have managed to build up such an immense business in the United Suites, and to realize therefrom r.ueh overwhelm ing fortunes. The success of Jaynes, Brandredth, Towns gpd. Sands, and others, is no great my lay after all They understand human nature and the power of the press. Instead of being close and niggardly in adver tising, they have patronized the newspapers with n lib eral hand The New York Express says that its Edi tor was recently shown a receipt for nine huailied and eighteen dollars and serenty-flve cents, for money pmd in advance by Dr Townsend for one year s ad vertising in a Philadelphia paper! The Exp, ess adds that ihe Dr. annually pays one ofthe New York Ppern more than double the above turn I It not as tonishmg then that lua medicines have met with almost umveraal sale in the country. The question which we propose to put is this: If the sy*tem of advaitiaing liberally will succeed even with quack medicines, will it not be much more certain o, aucceas in cases where persons are doings legitimsle business, and where tlwy offer to their patrons some thing like an equivalent for their money I Experience has proved this to be the ease A man who does bun ness on a picayune scale, who seldom or never advrrti ses, may by chance gel into a good buainess, just as one man in a thousand may draw a capital prize in a lotte ry; full the only sure road to succew is lo prove to die people that we have energy end rmerpriac, that we se. k their patronage, and are prepared to deserve it. llnw eon this Is- aeeomplislird so successfully as by a judicious system of advertising? It la a sate conclusion for the people to anive at, that merchants who are unoble.to advertise or who have 100 little energy to do so. arc not likely to have either the best or cheapest goods for sale If men are csvwious of these things they gmaiully take the must direct meth od of letting the public know it through the press It is not enough, however, merely to advertise. To be profitable it must be dune judlrumsly in die papers hiving the large* circulation m the particular district at country which trades at any given plaor. It mum •iso lie doneeofrerot.fly, so as to keep the name of the dealer and the character of his wares continually baton the people It ought sat to be done by standing adver tisement-, because tile people after reading them a few times become wearied and turn from them widi distaste Goods sltuuld be sdvrrttmd as they are reeeieed, in brief, comprehensive notices, giving prominence to each particular claw of articles offered for sale. A proper system of advertising will do much towards extending die busui -as not only ot each individual mer chant, but of a whole community or city.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM .MEXICO. Rctsidilution of Nanta.Anini. The New Orleans Picayune of the 11th instant, has Vera Cruz dates to the 3.1, perpchooner Zenohia. San ta Anna, on the 29th ult., resigned the Presidency, and assigned a* his reason, that thin step alone could prevent the outbreak of a Revolution on the npproach of the Americans. He says thnt the Capitol is now in a -iti - ntion to successfully resist any force tie* enemy could bring against it. He reminds Congress thnt h* has d< voted his time, his money. Ins blood nnd his limbs t< t!i* service of his country, and now, with pride, he resigns forever his public career Herrem.it is thought, would Is* chosen President—the votes were not to be counted, however, till the 15th inst. Tho nomocracy in a Stow. It is now pretty well understood thnt there is ft large fraction of the Democratic party of Georgia, who arc resolved to advocate the nomination of G.*n rnl Taylor for the Presidency. This wing of the party consists mainly of the honest planters, who arc sick nnd disgust ed with Polkery and its extravagance, nn I who wish an honest, old fashioned administration of the affairs of the nation. These men have watched closely the movements of the Wilmot Proviso clique, an I are sad ly disappointed with the anti-Hoiithcm vote of certain Georgia Democrats on the Oregon Territorial Bill.— They are satisfied that while Gen. Taylor is a moderate Whig, he will be firm ami uncom promising whenever the interests of the South are in i jeopardy. They have convinced themselves that the old Hero is “honest,” thnt he is “capable,” and that he wdl be “faithful to the Constitution,” and have eonse- | quently determined to vote for hnn at all hnzzards This fact having come. to the knowledge of th’- teirr pullers, they have concluded that the only way to save Democracy from complete annihilation, i- to nominate Taylor as the candidate of their party,and make him a Democrat by resolution This is reported to be the policy of the “Coon Killer” and of certain other aspirants to the Gubernatorial chair. It will probably be most strenuously opposed ! y the Athens Banner junto, aided by a certain distinguish ed Senator, whose son-in-law was rendered somewhat notorious last winter by his unscrupulous attack upon Taylor as a Whig General. What the result of this contest will be, we know not, but we are disposed to think, that after a tremendous blowing of trumpets and rnttling of kettle drums, the party will draw off, as Santn Anna did at Buena Vista, and proclaim the achieve* ment of a great victory over Old Znck nnd the Whigs! For ourselves, we sincerely hope thnt they may have moral firmness enough to nominate the old Hero.— j Their action can have no effect upon the Whigs, who ; •hav* already,almost unanimously, resolved to give him ‘ their support, not only because of his distinguished services to the country, but because of his unwavering devotion to Whig principles. We have nothing to fear; because the fact thnt Gen. Taylor receives Whig or Democratic votes, will have no influence uj>on the policy of his administration. He will be in the cabinet, as in the field, always ready to hear the opinions of his subal terns, but ever certain to follow the dictates of his own clear, sound, discriminating judgment. Mr. Calhoun and the Democracy* It is now apparent that a pitrtion of the Democratic party have resolved to immolate Mr Calhoun. The! moment that he exposed the truth in regard to the j origin of the Mexican War, his destruction became ! necessary to the existence of Messrs Polk, Ritchie, and the Democratic party. Hence the assaults of the Washington Union —hence his denunciation by the Wilmot proviso men, and hence the vindictive nnd frequent attacks upon him by Mr Benton.—Hence the declaration of that gentleman in his recent letter 1 that the next candidate of the Democratic party, must be a Northern man—hence his Oregon letter, and his I denunciation of Mr Calhoun, as the representative of the “ slnvocrucy ” of the South. The friends of the distinguished Carolinian have borne all these things with such becoming meekness that the Washington Correspondent of the Mobile Rrgiater has at last de- 1 dared that Mr. Calhoun, like the Whigs, has been giving “ aid and comfort to the enemv,” and that “ his anti'tear speeches have been republished ,n Mexico andetnboldened the people to continue the war /” This is certainly going tolerably far, and we presume that the next move of the Southern Democratic presses wiil lie to declare that the Abolitionists have carried South Carolina for Gen. Taylor. The \*hens Runner and the Wilmot Proviso. The Editor of the Banner, in his opposition to Gen. | Taylor, breaks over ail barriers on the slave question, and forgetful of hi* recent denunciations of the Whigs and their Northern allies, exclaims: “is the (Democratic) party to be disorganized on the Wilmot P. aviso, and the dragon’s teeth to be sown, to spring up armed men north and south of Mason and Dixon’s line, first to shake nnd then to rend the Union into fragments I Had we not better hush our unneces sary grow lings upon this subject, and meet our North ern brethren in convention, in the confiding spirit of brethren, and trust every thing to the combined opera tion of their sense of justice and the fidelity and wis dom of our Southern Delegates,” See Slc. Here, then, tho secret is out. It is not the security of Southern rights or interests, but the unity amd ascend ancy of die Democratic party—it is not the integrity of the nation, but the spoils of victory, that our cotenipora ry is after. What is that “sense of justice ” among his Northern allies, which he seeks to rely upon ? Have not Silas Wnght and the Northern Democracy declared thnt they will plant themselves upon the llflmot proviso, ntui that they have determined to force it upon the country? Did they not declare, in their recent proceedings in St Lawrence county, New York, that “they would, not 1 y their voice*, their money or votes, plant slavery* upon a ■oil that is now free?” Is it the policy, therefore, of the Editor of the Banner to allow the infamous Wilmot proviso to be fastened upon the conquered territory of Mexico, as it hss bcetj done upon Oregon? Will Messrs. Cobb anil Lumpkin, and their Dentocratic allies from Geoigia, rely in thisca&e too, upon the'^ sense of justice ’’ of their Northern brethren ? Will they vote to recognise the principle* of the Wilmot isrouso in territorial hill* for California and New Mexico, as they did in the case of Oregon ? This i not the first time that the Democratic preaee* of Georgia have hinted at conciliation and comptomise on this subject of slavery If they really intend to be tray the interest* of the South, the sooner the people know it the better. If it i* really the purpose of such men a* the Editor of the Banner to make all other in terests suharrviem to those or party, let them proclaim their principles and fling out their Wilmot Hag at once ; but let them not insult the good sense of Southern planter* by prating about conciliatum an.) compromise, or about relying upon the **nse of justice of such men as Wilmot, Bila* Wright and their allies in mischief. The Way the Mmiry tioot, Mr Yolk can make war at hi* pleasure, and the Democratic presses, as well as the Democratic leaders’ will all say amen ; hut the people, whohavt to “pay the pryier,” would occasionally like to be informed when* the money goo*. We give them, then, the following ptaUMucnts, made by tin* Wrn Uruz correspondent f the N<*w Oilcans Delta— a neutral pn per, prune some what, however, to advocate Mr Polk and his free trade notions The letter from which we copy,is dated May the 29th, and the writer utters the truth as follow “ I frel that I can do my country no beter service in my idle moments of garrison duty, than by calling the attention of the government and the country to the wanton and extraordinary waste of public money nnd property It ui a nintter of comntem Wherever I go— every one talking about it—yet no one lifts up his voice to direct public attention to it.

Is it not the duty of thuw who have charge of such matter* here, to attend to these things? Could not the coal in the five vemeia lie transferred to the one, and let the four be discharged Th e, M> 4f* Editors, is not an overdrawn picture It w-*tM ♦•V*’ m*e rime than ! can spa*** m this p* r*i lar moment, to give n faint idea of the Immrns wast* and I might add, bare faced plundering of the govern ment property as carried on here. The cas** of the coal vessels as given above, is but the hie lory of all stop vessels employed by government. The c -plains report I on their arrival, nnd are ordered to wait orderr—the owners ore getting an immense per diem for their ves sels—they are satisfied to remain lor ever, and take good care not lo remind th** quarter-master of their ex mtonce, having once reported. The surf-boats, which cost us at least $o()0 a pice*, arc scattered along th* beach for miles in extent. Sixty-three surf-boats an* bilged and strewed along the bench in every direction One day’s attention of tin quarter-master, or his nss s taut, and one of the hundred vessel* or steamers in th-- pay of the United States, would have saved every on • of them. The country ran never know the utter waste of public property, ns exhibited in the operations nt tins place, and the reason is obvious, for most every man here is the recipient of this same plunder—nnd if an 1 noncst man raises his voice against such doings, lit** sharks, whose very existence hangs on this state of thing*. rai*e their voic—s in most admirable harmony nnd cry him down—nn humble volunteer officer would be utterly demolished ” Things to be Kciii'-iiilh'ku!. The Editor of the Cherokee Advocate, in his pap r ofthe Bth inst. after contending that General Taylor is n Democrat, remark*: “Was there ever anything! more absurd than this result of Whig policy Cure strained by either patriotism or fair dealing in their opposition to the war and the Democratic pofi- ‘ cy of government, they have chosen n candidate for the Presid -ncy who has given the most unqualified appro-’ baiion of all our (the Democratic) measures.” The Griffin Jeffersonian of the 9th. taka pn tt\ J much the same ground, nn( J odds. “ Why not nominate him (Taylor,) as the Deuu J*j erotic candidate ? If the Whigs choose to nominate him too, so inueh the better. The Democrats can have no objection to Whig votes, when those votes go to support their own principles.” We put these sayings of our D mocratic brethren upon record, so that hereafter, when they lavish abuu*- upon the old hero and his principles, they may be rc minded of what they once thought of him. I “ When the Devil was sick, the Devil a saint would he; • When the Devil was well, the devil a saint was he ! ’ Never have wc been so forcibly reminded of the truthfulness of the above lines, as on reading the recent numbers of the Southern Banner The venerable Ed itor, only a tew months sine?, was chief fugleman in the upper counties of Georgia. lie was unceasingly beating up recruits or war meeting —indeed,so devoted did he seem to the fife and drum and Polkery, “ Tint, but for those vile gun*, He would himself Live been a soldier” Now. however, when the President is actually begging’ ’ for recru ts, nnd when he distinctly informs his I. lends t lint the road to the “Hallsofthe Montezuma*” isopen, ! tlu* energies of the Editor of the Banner are no longer 1 I (iii3Cted to giving “aid and comfort,” either to Mr Polk, or his pai ticulnr friend, Santa Anna. He is seized with a perfect horror for military herns, and is suddenly mov ed by the most profound admiration of “civic acquire ments and civic honor*!” He can no longer be drawn from the tru* Democratic principles to the ear of Whig gery.even by old Zac. He has discovered that Taylor is a Whig —a vile Mexican Whig, we presume—and j therefore will have none of him. Too old a bird him i self to be caught with chaff, he flutters and chatters at j o terrible rate, thinking thereby to keep the simple ! minded “young brood of Democracy” from going into the Rough and Ready net. General Taylor a Whig. Those Democratic Editors who have recently shown some disposition to favor the nomination of General Taylor by their party in Georgia, have certainly not read the recent numbers of the Washington Union That paper taking the alarm from the recent letter of the old hero, announcing his willingness to run for the | Presidency, is lustily striving to indoctrinate its follow-’ ers and to drive them off from the popular vortx into which they have been madly hurrying. Among other things the venerable organ-grinder adduces tlxe follow ing fnun the Cincinnati Atlas to prove that Taylor is as goitd a Whig ns Henry Clay. “An eminent gentleman, of the highest character for probity and truth, and well known as a bosom friend of Gen Taylor, assured us. in the most emphatic man ner, what were hs sentiments on that s abject. We had asked fiini: ‘l*General Taylor, lining a cotton planter, m favor of a protective tariff {’ His answer was: As decidedly as Henry Clay’ The same gentleman as sured us, likewise, that General Tuvlot was opposed to the annexation of Texas; and as to his g eneral politi cal s iitiments, he remaiked, in the same emphatic form of expression : ‘Heus as good a Whig is Henry Clay.’ Our informant used this comparative mode of representing General Taylor’s sentiments, because he, like most other people, regarded Mr. Clay as a stand- , ard expositor of Whig principles; and there was the more significance ui that form of speech at the moment, because we were both returning from a visit to Ash- * land, whose venerable occupant was (and still is) | regaided by both os the greatest and best statesman of the age,” The Lexington Observer, published in the ioimedi-j ate neighborhood of Mr. Clay’s residenc**, occoriling to th* Union, ridicule the veiy idea of Gen T a yl- >r’s entertaining Democratic opinions. It laughs at the proceedings of the Montgomery meeting, ami deria.-es, its own clear and positive belief ol his politics. It su> s: “General Taylor, we should imagine, will be vc- r y ; much amused at the reasons given by these Momgom- f ery Locos for their exceeding regard for him politically, i But he will lie puzzled to find out by what acts of Ins ‘j they derived their authority to attribute to him political views nnd opinions which he never for a moment enter- / tained If Judge French, Harry Daniel &Cos , wipj* f lobe wise in time, and, lik” rats and -serting a sinking ship, desire to forsake the tottering fabric of Locolbcoisin, j lest they be crushed beneath its ruin*, they w’ill have to ! frame other excuses than that General Taylor in one of their stripe, and that, therefore, they are for him for I*re- ‘ sident! Take it all and all, this Montgomery allair is decidedly the L*st joke of the season.” The Union, as if to clinch the matter, adds the fol- j lowing from the Louisville Journal, of the 17th nit. “ We know thnt General Tailor condemned the late j Locofoco interference with the tariff of 1842.” Would it not be a most capital joke under such cir ciicumatances, to ce the Democratic presses of Geor gia wheeling into the support of Old Rough nnd Ready. Great consolation it would no doubt afford to fathers Ritchie and Halsey of the Washington Union and Ath ens Banner. Oh, why, why wdl the younger and rash er brethren persist m piling up sorrow iur their vener able Waders! Tho Crops mu! Seasons. The provision crops in New York.

Barber 3 The life of Putnam, by Wm. Cutter, They are all illustrated with rather indifferent wood cuts, but the mechanical execution, in other respect* a very creditable. It is apparent that these works an not strictly the result of patient labor and rntut U thought. The materials are abundant, but loosly thrown together; and th- whole bears evidence that the authors were working by the job rather than the piece ond thnt they were thinking quite an much about the quantity as the quality of their handwork. The Life of Smith and the ‘incident* of History” are particularly obnoxious to this criticism ; and yet they ore both valuable books— -valuable on account of the information which they contain, rather than the man- j n*r in which it is presented. Mr. Simms has spun out 37<> page* of a story which | might have been all told in less than one fourth of the j limits. II” ought to r* met t**r that an author should j have some regard lor the patience a* well a* the pockets i of his readers, and dipt uim* and incidents are not nl ways valued like dm numbs in proportion to their scar city. Hi- Sill* of Capt. John Smith, however, is one of j the Lest of his e e nt pr ducOons, and is not withstand- j ing the faults we have mentioned, an agreeable nnd in- | st rue live book. Mr. Buinr.n in his “Incidents of American History.” has run into the other extreme, and crowded too much innttei into a given space. His volume contains “a lit- j tie of every thing anl not imuhofnny thing;” but tin thnt very account is ike more valuable for the youthful reader tor whom it isintended. The object ofthe wri ter evidently is to gi\f a few leading facts in regard to each event and topnsent them in such a way as to in duce hi* young renders to search else were for the whole story. II is volume roman is a vast amount of useful information and is veil worth twice the money asked lor it. “The Life of Putiam” is altogether the best, ns it i* the most unpretendng, volume of the three. The inn- 1 terials seem tohave frecn ample nnd are well handled i “Oid But” even w hei young, to use an Irishism, was a “ranting, roistering roaring blade,” and Mr. Cutter hap piesented many tmusing incidents of bis early lite, j as well as the daring and chivalrous feats of his maturer years. Os Putnam it would Ire very difficult to write an | indifferent life, and we think the one in question is a very c* ditahle pioU^on- Upon the whole we arc inclined to think that “Tin Illustrated Library” will be found a most useful work, well adapted for the very class of readers for which it i* designed. It may be haoofMr. Boardman, to whom we are indebted for the voliunes above noticed. “All marriage notices, ami obituary notices of over ten lines, will be charged at the usual rates.” The above portion of our published terms seems to have escaped the attention of many readers, as we are frequently asked to publish marriage notices and obitu ary notices of unlimited length, fox the “aecommoda- j lion ol some old suhscribrr,” of our “friends and pat rons,” or the “public genera v.” Our reply, once for all, is that while w*c have every disposition to accomniod te our friends, we cannot a fiord to do it; ond though these items may appear ( small in th unselv’s, yet, when we have four or five thousand patrons, all of wiom have equal claims, they 1 will amount annually to hundreds of dollars, nnd ul- . tiinntely ruin us. No reasonable friends would exact j such a sacrifice, nnd the sooner we get rid of those who arc unreasonable the better. We have to pay cash for rent, for materials, for lnlor. for every thing—how then, can we he expected to labor gratuitously, even for subscribers. Indeed we are under us little obligation to them as to any one else, for we give them the full worth of their money, and the ; longer they have taken the paper, the more willing and able they ought to le to pay for these little extras. — They might just as well expect the merchant to furnish them goods, or ihe hotel keeper to feed them, gratis, the preacher to marry them, or the sexton to bury them j for nothing, ns that the printer should toil and labor j night and day for their gratification, or that of their friends, aid yet ask no reward. For out Selves, we will not do it. We are willing to make a simple announce ment of deaths, but marriage notice*, and obituaries of over ten lines in length, must be paid for at the reg ular rates. Important Railroad Movement. The Wilmington (N. G.) Journal of the 11th inst., mentions a rumor to the effect that a company of Bos tonians have purchased the Portsmouth an 1 Roanoke i Railroad, and have in view also the purchase ot the Raleigh and Gaston Road, now the property of the State of North Carolina. Agents of the Company are now said to be in North Carolina for th • purpose of coin* pl* img negotiations for th** building of the Road from that place to Camden, or Columbia, S. C., a distance ol n<*ar 300 miles. This movement has of course elicited a corresponding one on the part of the people of Wil mington, who contend that ihe route from that place to Manchester being only IG2 miles in length, and through a much more iavarable reg on, ought to b.* the one se lected. Wiiat the result oi the contest may Ik* we know not. Charleston, Columbia, and the Northern capital ists united, may find it an easier task to raise three inil- . lions than it will be tor Wilmington and parties inter ested in the lower route to raise one million of dollars. Tie* people of Wilmington have the game however in their own hands, if they have only nerve enough and spirit enough to play it out to their own advantage. Tin 1 Mexican Privateer.

Gentlemen —I have received, and 1 trust proprrl. appreciated you. note of this day, informing me* that I have been unanimously nnd by acclamation nominated by the Whig Convention, convened at Hootensviile on the 12th inst . as their candidate to represent tin* 27th Senatorial District, com posed of this county and Craw- ; ford in the ensuing Legislature. I consider the time now past for arguing the propriety ‘ or impropriety ot your selection, but 1 know you will do ■ me the justice to say that it has been done without any i solicitation on my part; and, notwithstanding my ad vanced age, and precarious health,such are my feelings at the evidences given of your unabated confidence in me, that they constrain me to accept of the honor con ferred. In conformity with a custom somewhat prevalent in our country, it may lie expected that I should say some thing in relation to my views of Whig principle s, and my reasons for suppoi ting them Slc As respects the principles, they have been so much more obiy handled by those more competent than myself, that it would be van in me to suppose that I could say any thing now to enlighten your minds or the minds of the community upon that sub.t ct. My reason for suppoitmg them is, because I do honestly believe them the best calculated to sustain us in our Independent Republican Institutions, and should your nomination be sustained by the sove reign people of the district,and I,on my part, fail to c ir- ! ry out those principles n* your Ropr^eentatire, then 1 and in that case 1 will forthwith resign the trust revised into tiie hands of those that gave it. So much, gentlemen, upon the subject of our political principles; but my political iriends must not, and 1 pre sume will not calculate that those party principles w 11’ be suffered by me to clash in any degree with the loc il interests of my immediate constituents, or of those of the people of Georgia. In conclusion, gentlemen, give me leave to assure you of my high personal c msideration for each of you individually, and also for those w hom you represent EDWARD HOLLOWAY. To Messrs.

DUNCAN B. GRAHAM, Ch a J. F Mcßae, Sec’y. June 5 1847. COMMUNICATED. \ Thu Next Governor. Messrs Editors. —As th-’ time is approaching wvj the Whigs of Georgia, thiough their RepiesentitvJ are to select one of their number to be proposed to J voters of the State for the Gubernatorial chair, wetnj 1 that a communication which we heliey*, speaks J#| unanimous voice of the Whigs of Troup county wjl not le deemed intrusive. The considerations which should influence the Con. vent ion need not here be enumerated. Our nofcl* Crawford aided by two successive Whig Legislature I has redeemed the State from the thraldom to which J miserable demagogueism had degraded her, ami the same unanimity and harmony which secured his vsk ! a file services, will in like manner presetve and niajJ tain what has been so nobly achieved. In his nomina ‘ tion and election, personal motives -and private mdj were waved lor the general good. If, in the enaoajj canvass, the same motives impel us, we may with cat fidenee expect another triumph and a continuance oH the t rait ford Administration. But whom, among the noble worthies that adornik I Whig party of Georgia, shall we select? This is* I puzzling question We will first name some of;l*J qualities which should be combined in th *tnanwl| hears our banner— First— He should Ik* in the highest degree qhalid] as a man of talent and fully jkiss/ssed of those abiiita requisite to that important station. Second—lt is des.ruble that his political lifesboaidl h av * romWxl him g-nrrnlly aud favoratdy knawn.l while it should afford no capital for the use of his ad-J versa ries. Third—His location should lie one which would be I favorable to secure the strength of the State. Wetml and North-western Georgia should be remembeiai-1 as these portions *( the State have never yet been mp-1 resented tn tins office. A ;ai —lt would be desirable for bin) to be as far re* I moved, in jmncip.e and in practice, from Polk jm I Ritchie, as it is poss.pie for men to be, who I same age. There are other considerations which wiliigp*| themselves to the Convention. In conclusion, we may be permitted to name as lioin the Western lielt, wiioiu we are pi oud to pr< pie. Y\ e believe him to be an ava luide candidau*. ontvrbi more than meets the qualifications above lueiitiuuet and one to the mention ot whose name the bean* i thousands will simultaneously respond. W’emeantk Hon. Edward \ouno Hill He has of recent yew only, become a resident among us, yet the true VVhif j ol 1 roup would elect him to day by acckuinua- Piiis is the testimony of the people at home. \\e sp. nk adv.sediy, when we say that lAin pueitiu j would not be the choice of Judge Hill—.liuuy yr.nU I cousiderations would induce him to decline a lumn'.ia- J tion and a friend would scarcely advise him to accept Still, if his acceptance would Ik* necessary the integrity of the pnity.and his services be deiRUUd, we believe he would ucq tiesoe. lie there fine run up our Western Jlaj- 3j hearts are in the cause. We speak not from theik* ration of a caucus, for it is a “ Taylor” enthusm*, , which needs not the formalities of organized hdiei* j be interpreted. I June Bth 1847. Troip.
