Mr. Polk had scarcely en- I ion Jj ic duties of his ofilce, before Ihe South were I distinctly to understand, by the appointment of I icaous abolitionists to oflice, that that elan of fn- I were to be respected. Several were appointed I him to high and lucrative office*. When Congress I , t the rule prohibiting the reception of abolition peti- I Ls and which had stood unchanged amidst all the I n ’ of party, was promptly repealed—thus the feel | gaol the whole South were disregarded, and those of ~ alwlitionists regarded. .. v proposition was then adopted by the House of fpr eni.itive, declaring that no territory to be ac- I ureJ from Mexico should admit of slave labor; and I h. n a Southern Senator submitted resolutions declar- I ‘ „f our riglits oil this subject, his act was denounced I fa Senator from a slavcholding State, and a member I (he dominant party, as a “fire brand.” After all these Xmnstrations, Southern Democrats were found voting L ,he establishment of the Territorial Government of I, prohibiting the existence of slavery there. All 11.I I. tacts show us conclusively, that such is the tnad- I o rfparty faction, that to attain its triumphs, the in- I lulinn of slavery is ready to be sacrificed. It is time ■ the South to take care of herself. I Resolved, therefore, That as the North has de luded the exclusion of slave labor from any territory K,e acquired from Mexico, we demand that such ter- Iry as may be acquired shall be appropriated to the I of slave labor. 1 Kesolved.

Taylor, by a large city meeting. “When the 1 time comes,” aye, and before it comes, there will be 20,000 just such volunteer canvassers, distributed thro’- oat the length and breadth of the land, from Maine to Georgia, and from the Atlantic to the Rocky Moun tains, each one of whom, will be able to enlist an entire county under the Taylor flag.” Col. Marshall on Gen. Taylor. Col. Titos. F. Marshall, of Kentucky, having re turned from the scat of war, recently addressed the citi zens of New Orleans. In the course of his remarks, he said: “Having advocated the annexation of Texas, he felt bound to stand by the consequences. He volunteered in the service of the country, and soon found himself at the scat of war. (Jen. Taylor fought and won the bat tle of Monterey. He advanced upon Saltillo, am 1 pre paratory to a descent upon San Luis Potosi, and ulti mately upon the city of Mexico itself, he had marched to Victoria, to discover if there was nny other pass in the mountains but that of the Rinconada which lie could advance and avoid the waterless desert beyond Buena Vista, or through which the enemy might enter the val ley of the Rio Grande and fell upon his rear. Whilst this reeonnoissanee was being made, he (Mr. M ) was ordered to proceed to Gen Taylor’s camp with despatch es. These were the despatches which announced to (Jen. Taylor that the flower of his army was to lie taken from him, to operate on anew base, and ordered him merely to stand on the defensive. “Mr. Marshall said, great nn opinion as he had form ed of Gen. Taylor before he met him at Victoria, he was totally unprepared for the loftiness of character dis played by him on receiving those despatches. He, up on whose crest victory had perched, the lion who was preparing for another spring upon the foe, saw without a murmur that his claws were to be tom from him, that he was to be enfeebled and compelled to act on the de fensive, and never, Mr. M. said, did he conceive that a great soldier, fresh from the fields of his victories, could submit in the simple, uncomplaining manner Gen. Tay lor difl to orders depriving him of his right ami. “The best of his troops were withdrawn from him. With such as were left under his immediate command he retraced his steps to Monterey, and shortly after joined Gen. Wool at Saltillo. Duplicates of the de spatches had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and, acquainted him with the weakness of Gen Taylor’s force he soon made demonstrations indicating an intention to advance and give battle. It was now, Mr. M said, (Jen Taylor displayed those qualities which proclaim him the greatest military chieftain of the age. It was known that the enemy was overwhelmingly superior in numbers and commanded by their most skilful general* and military critics declared the only course to pursue was to fell back upon Monterey. Gen. Taylor, with a perception of all the consequences of such a step, thought and acted otherwise. Fronting him was an enemy 20,000 strong; in his rear was Urrea with 3000 cavalry; his line of communications ran through a country con taining half a million of population, waiting but the ap pearance of success on their side to take up arms, and knowing that even to retreat upon Monterey would be claimed as a victory ; that then he would be beleagured by an army of 25,000 men, and that his whole line would be cut up, he determined not to give an inch, but to stake all upon a battle, in which every tiling was to lie gained by victory, and disaster could not have been increased by defeat. The result is known. The cour age of Gen. Taylor, said Mr. M.,no one disputed, but some denied him great mental powers. He (Mr. M.) pretended to some capacity in judging of men's quali ties, and if he ever saw genius, military genius of the highest order, he saw* it in Gen. Taylor. It may be that God, in great emergencies, had inspired him with those thoughts which rendered him invincible ; but, said Mr. Mthe result is the same—there is no difier ence. To the great soldier, Mr M. said, in his inter course with Gen. Taylor, he found was added the man of strict honor, and either as a man or as his command er he loved him.”— Picayune. liii|oi’tant from Mexico. BY J. C. RIDDLE’S PRIVATE EXPRESS.

Sands’ Sarsaparilla l —"Every cel and or gan ol the human Dody,'’ says a distinguished medical wn * p r> ‘is originally built, or grows and is renewed by an independent vital force: and when causes which ar rested such grow th, or renewal, are removed, then by the influence ol this vital force, the actions m a part, or m the whole system, resume their harmonious course, and the ravages consequent upon disease, are overcome, obliterated and repaired.” Here is the whole theory oi disease, and the same author proceeds to say, that in many dtseases. “substances are conveyed into the blood which are incapable ol assimilation.” In order, there fore, to restore “this vital force,” and get rid of th<*se substances ” it is necessary to employ tin agent which will act with directness and certainty upon the bloou in the process of its manufacture, preventing tlie introduc tion ot nonaanmiiating substances, and thus cutting away, as it were, the very roots of the disease. That this preparation is such an agent, is abundantly proved by the innumerable successful results tiiat have attend ed its use. It expurgates the source of the disease, and ot course its onward evidences, robbed of th*ir infectious substance in the blood, are rapidly absorbed, and tlie patient is restored to health.

As us name imports, it will be Southern and Pres byter inn; Southern in its designs and its spirit; decid edly Presbyterian in its principles—an exponent of our doctrines and order, a medium of communication for ail our Churches, an advocate of nil onr institutions. But while it is thus denominational in its character, it will be lilieral in its views, expansive in its charity, wide in its embrace of the. great interests of the Church of Christ, and of our common country—will aim also at being rich in religious instruction and fervid with the Christian spirit—adapted to family reading, not over looking the lambs ot the flock, fn a word, its design will Ik; “the edification of the Body of Christ,” in all thuigs pertaing to life mid godliness. Tne Southern Presbyterian will have an extenrivs correspondence scattered throughout the whole of the. Southern States, and as there is no paper south of the my of Richmond, Va., devoted to tne particular inter '•*ts of thnt large nnd growing denomination, it is tb-night that this enterprise will have peculiar claims upon the friends of Presbyterianism in tne South.
