is not very clearly established. But, admit
l>e genuine, what peculiar “ aid and comfort” f
derive from the declaration of Gen. Taylor
not permit himself to be the candidate of
or yield himself to party schemes ?
It® Ia very short time since the same Democratic
referred to, affected to regard Gen. Taylor
9 8 D>pnocrat ? The opinions of those presses were
as a sort of forced conclusion, necessary to be
in order to sustain a certain course of policy,
dfech Ind been more than half determined on, in refer*
pßto pie nomination of Gen. Taylor by the late Dern
erare gubernatorial convention. That convention,
bevnngjthe “doctrine of instruction,” in it narrowest
1 well L broadest sense, in the midst of doubts nnd
irknft. were prompted to steer by the slimmemg
jhtpnhided by Mr. Cobb, and to renew the expon
ent of, 1 struct big their constituents, instead of per
ming Ihe well known predilections of tlie latter to
tlhem in their representative capacity Thus
lb became their instructor, instead of their con-1
f —'in inconsistency between Democratic pro
practice not at all extraordinary.
But wine of the editors of those presses, nud many
members of that convention, know that in
of the people there is a general and earnest
Gen. Taylor their next President—either
iview what he has done or may have to do.—nnd
lit tbij desire, in due time, will net like leaven upon
mass; nnd still, regretful lor the slighting
which they silently passed over his illustri
and name, they would now seek “ aid and
in the “ rustling of a leaf.”
REftHt just to say, that the Editor of the Constitu- j,
cannot l>e included in the list of those referred
slighted Gen. Taylor. Asa member of
fnton, he offered a series of resolutions, one of

Imfpst from the Army.
The latest intelligence from Gen. Scott, is through
Mexican sources to the effect that he would take up
the line of march for the city of Mexico on the 2d inst.
Ibis is hardly probably, ns neither Pillow’s nor
lierces command could have reached* him by that
time.
From Santa Fe.
It is said that 150 men, detached portions of various
companies of Col. Price’s Regiment, were attacked
on Red River, May 27tii, by 4UO Mexicans nnd Indians,
and compelled to retreat with two men killed, one
wounded, and the entire loss of horses, clothing and
ammunition. Phe force was under command of Maj.
Edmundson.
C heap Postages.
The cheap postage system is working admirably. At
Buffalo the first quarter this year the increase over last
year is $1,273. The whole receipts for the quarter are
sf>.43o.
The next great step in the progress of refonn must
be a uniform rate of fire cents for all distances, or of
five and three cents according to the present ratio of
charge.
Another Feller from General Taylor.
Gen. Taylor, in a letter published in the Troy Daily
Post, makes use of the following strong and unmistak
able language on a subject of general concern—the
Presidency:
“ The Presidential office presents no inducements to
me to seek its honors or responsibilities ; the tranquility
j of private life, on the contrary, is the great object of my
I aspirations on the conclusion of the war—but lam not
msens ble to the persuasion that my services are yet
j due to the country, as the country shall see fit to com
mand them j if still as a soldier, I am satisfied ; if in
higher or more responsible duties, I desire not to oppose
| the manifest wish of the people— but I will not be the
candidate of any party or clique, and should the na
tion at large seek to place me in the chair of Chief Mag
istracy, the good o f all parties and national good would
be my great and absorbing aim.”
The language of the above extract settles the ques
tion as to the genuineness of the celebrated Signal let
ter, nml places Gen, Taylor in a most distinguished
position before the American people—just such a posi
tion as would have been desired by every wise and pru- ,
dent member of the Wh'g party, and by every patriot
of the nation. Why should Gen. Taylor be required to
sink his national reputation and character, to become
the leader ol either party \ Why open his breast to a
malignant and unscrupulous press, when he can return
to private life full of honors, blessed and beloved by the
whole people ? No one could ask of him such a sacri
fice. His language, like that of Washington, is, that if
the country have confidence in his wisdom and patriot
ism, and desire that he shall wield the sceptre, let the
country—the whole country speak. In that event, and
no other, will he consent to appear before the people as
a candidate, and even then, “ the good of all parties
the national good, would be his great and absorbing
aim.”
G**n. Taylor be it remembered, does not say what
are his political views or what would be the politics of
his administration, lie is well known to be a sound
and moderate Whig, and will, doubtless, receive the
support of a very large majority of that party—perhaps
its undivided support. Being exceedingly moderate in
his views, he will gather around him all the moderate
men of the Democratic party —those who are tired and
disgusted witfi the plundering policy of Mr Polk and
his adherents. Speaking m regard lo this determina
tion ol Gen. Taylor,tlie New York Courier Enquir
er, very properly remarks:
“ The affairs of the country have reached n crisis |
which demands the services of such a inan. Questions I
huve been introduced into the political discussions of
the day, and pressed toa point where prompt decission
is unavoidable, which derange and threaten to destroy
all past organizations. Sectional differences are becom
ing wide spread and embittered. Fat uous have sprung
up in every part of the country, contemptible in them
selves, but influential through their effect upon political
parlies ol tlie day. Our foreign relations are becoming
more and more important, and demand increased at
tention. And oui relations with Mexico, whatever
may be the immediate issue, will require he firmest,
most vigilant ami enlightened supervision lor some
y -ars to come, it the war continues, wiser couni ; ls
must direct it* course ; a wider vision and a more pat
riotic purpose must be enlisted in its control. If peace
ensues, questions wdl grow out of it, scarcely less em
barrassing or important than those connected with ac
tive wur. Mere partizanship is not enough lor tins state
of things. However wisy its purposes, however vigor
ous its spirit, and however sound the principles which
shape its character—no mere party can ever command
that universal and hearty confidence from the people,
which those high duties require. Without such a confi
dence nothing effectual can be accomplished. The
people, embracing the great mass of our inhabitants, of
all parties, must feel thnt a strong, steady, patriotic and
reliable hand is at the helm, or the ship of State w ill not
escape the dangers which lie in her path.
“ Had a man been created expressly for such an
emergency, he could not have more perfectly satisfied
nil its conditions than does Gen. Taylor. He has a
clear head, a true heart aiui strong will he knows |
nothing of danger, is emburrassed by no difficulty, is :
prompt io discern, and certain to follow, the very best
course in every case. The course of reasoning which 1
led him to stake everything, his army, his reputation, !
all he possessed, or could ever expect, against the over
w helming odds at the battle of Buena Vista the calm,
clear, far-seeing manner in which his mind worked un !
der the pressuie of thnt most fearful issue j—and the •
firmness and |H*rfect self possession by which, in that
contest, lie carried Ins little force through one of the se- j
verest conflicts *ver fought upon this continent.—prove
him to be a man adequute io any emergency, equul to
any responsibUty.aud abundantly qualified for uny sta- ‘
(ton to which his fortune or his country may call him.” !

46 Northern Allies”
We published some time since the resolutions of the
Legislature of New Hampshire, approving of the Wil
mot Proviso, and instructing their Senators in Congress
to support it. The Legislature of Maine have followed
in their wake, and have passed the folowing resolutions
which we find in tlie Albany Atlas, (Mr. Wright’s or.’
gan,) to which they were transmitted by the Hon. Han-
nibal Hamlin :
“ Resolved, That Maine, by the action of her State
Government, and by her representation in congress
should abide cheerfully by the letter and spirit of the
concessions of the Constitution of the United States ; at
the same time resisting firmly all demands for their en
largement or extension.
“ Resolved, That the sentiment of this State is pro
found, sincere nud almost universal, that the influence of
slavery upon productive energy is like the blight of mil
dew ; that it is a moral and social evil ; that it does vio
lence to the rights of man, as a thinking, reasonable, and
responsible being. Influenced by such considerations,
tins State will oppose the introduction of slavery into
any territory which may be acquired as an indemnity
for claims upon Mexico.
“ Resolved, That, in the acquisition of any territory,
whether by purchase or otherwise, we deem it the duty
of the General Government to extend over the same
the ordinance ot seventeen hundred nnd cighty-ycven, i
with all its rights and privileges, conditions and immu
nities.
| “ Resolved, That our Senators in Congress be instruc.
ted, and our prescii'a; . s requested, to support and
carry out the principles ol ihe foregoing resolutions.
“ Resolved, That the Governor be requested to trans
mit a copy of the above resolutions to each of our i?en
i ators and Representatives in Congress, and to the Gov
i emorsof the several States.”
It will be recollected that the resolutions of New
Hampshire and Maine are the responses of Democratic
Legislatures to the Messages of Democratic Governors.
[Charleston Mercury.
Washington ami Taylor.
The resemblance between these two personages,
which has been frequently remarked, is no fanciful
thing, but a reality, which becomes more apparent in
proportion as the characteristics of ihe two are regard
ed. There is a similarity in their styles of writing and
in their styles of fighting—in the open, manly simplicr
ty and massiveness of character common to both, and
in that nobler disinterestedness of nature which marks
in both n patriotism as elevated as it is pure.
The use of Gen Taylor’s name in connection with
the Presidency has developed anew point of analogy
between him and Washington. We invite the read
ers attention to a coinpaiison of the subjoined extracts
The first is from Gen. Taylor s recent letter:
“ From many sources I have been addressed on the
subj tol the Presidency, and Ido violence neither to
myself nor to my position as an officer of the army, by
acknowledging to you, as 1 have done to all who have
alluded to me use of my name in this exalted connex
ion, that my services are ever at the will and call of my
country, und 1 am not prepared to say thnt 1 shall refuse
if the country calls me to the Presidential office, but 1
can and shall yield to no call that does not come
from the spontaneous action ami free will of the nation
at large, and void of the slightest agency of my own.
“For the high office and responsibilities of such an of-
I fiee, 1 take this occasion to say, that 1 have not the
] slightest aspiration ; a much more tranquil and satisfoc
; tory life, after the termination of my present duties,
I awaits me, 1 trust, in the society of my family and pnr-
I ticular friends, nnd in the occupations most congenial
jto my wishes, in no case can 1 permit myself to Is*
| the candidate of any party, or yield myself to party
schemes.”
i The next extract is from one of Wasiunoton’s tet
• ters in answer to an application in behalf of some oiie
for an office:
: “Should it browns absolutely necessary for me to oc- j
cupy the station in which yoor letter pre-suppose# me,
! 1 HAVE DETI RMINED TO GO INTO IT I’ERt'LCTLY FREE
l ROM ALL ENGAGEMENTS, OF EVERY NATURE WHATSO
; ever. A conduct m conformity to this resolution,
would enable me, in balancing the various pretensions
of different candidates for appointments, to act with
A SOLE REFERENCE TO JUSTICE AND TIIF. PUBLIC GOOD,”
In the answer of tin* Senate to Gen. Washington's
first addrew to Congrew, they my :
1 “Wt ars arnamle, sir, that nothing but the voice of
your fellow citizens could have called you from a re- ‘
treat, dioMcti with the fbmhst predilections, endeared
by habit, nnd consecrated to the re|MMe of declining
yeum We rejoice, und with us all America, that in
obedience to the call of ourroiiuuoii country, you have
returned once more to public life. In you, all par*
| ties confide ; in you, all interests unite.’’
The resemblance here is so striking that no one can
| mistake it. “What a scorching satire is it,” says the 1
i Richmond Republican, in which we find these quota
tions, “upon the degeneracy of the times, and the de
i crime of titer promt ve spirit of patriotism, that the sen
! tinvents of the late letter nitnhmed to G* n Taylor
| *li*uld strike panic to a single soul, or waken opposi
tion to luni for the? Presidency, when the |tnsition taken
in that letter is precisely identical with thnt always
taken by George Washington in reference to the duel
magistracy!”
Tlie New York Journal of Commert# devotes an
article of some length and full of judieious remarks, to
ih* subject of Gen Taylor and the Presidency. It
Concludes as foil*was:
“Gen. Taylor comes R ire tlie people uncommitted
to any patty. Asa military man, lie had attended to
hi* official duties, and not troubled himself with poli
tfc* To be nti American W en*>iich for Mm without
adding Whig or Loco, by way of adornment. No one
can doubt that if called to the Presidency, he will nd
. minister the government with impartiality, moderation
1 u °d wisdom/—yet with firmness ; qualities which have
been developed at every step of his progress through
Mexico. Knowing the horrois of war, he will be a
man of peace. Circumspect in hi* language and de
portment, he will not give needless offence to foreign
powers. Greatly respected as he is, both abroad and
at home, he will not liuve a character to gain, but only
to support. Free from strong party predilections, lie
will ann to do justice to all. In short, he will be Presi
dent of this country, nnd not of a section or party.
Success to him.”— Baltimore American.
The Cotton Worm.
The New Orleans Bee of the 10th instunt says.
Great anxiety and alarm having been felt among die
planteia of Coicordia and neighboring regions, in regard
to the appearance of the cotton worm, induced Prufles
*°r Forshfy to make a hasty excursion to several plan
tations, for the purpose of inspecting tlie destroyer, and
verifying his identity with the noctua gossyppii The
result of his investigation is published in the Concordia
Intelligencer, and he confidently expresses the opinion,
| “ that the worm now feeding upon the cotton leal, in the’
vicinity of V idulis is not the noctua gnsxyppH —is not
’ the Home which destroyed th- crop of 1H46 ”
He describes several points of difference, and adds,
i “ the present worm is not only nut the same worm, but ’,
to my eye, is not much like it.”
Hr nlso says; “ I have been reminded by tho! who
think differently, that tins may prove juat an destructive
ns the noctua gomy n ,ii to the cotton plant. 1 hove to
reply that 1 can g.ve no anirauce to the coutraiy. But
if my opinion bo Souyht.it is decidedly in tlie negative.
1 rue, il H possible, anew enemy to the plant may tie
introduced, but It is not likely. The noctua gosnyppii
haa been known tor filly years, at least, tlie only great
destroyer of the plant, and I think it probable thin the

“ l tlc nnicle by Professor Eorshey, in this number,
will draw attention. We deem it due to those who
have not ihe same opportunity to examine the subject
to say that we differ from him. The worm now found
on our fields, eats the Colton, and we care not by wliat

“The Indians believe that hy drinking tlie

establishment ol * hristianitv has weaned the
Indians from their idolatry, yet it has not ban

Tlie pupils in the above Schools were examined in
presence ol a very large and intelligent audience, on
the Bill and 9th instant.
The Trustees feel it to he a duty they owe to them
selves. to the Principal, and the Assistant (J. C Math- ‘
er) in those institutions, to sav something in commenda
tion of the exercises on that occasion.
We have witnessed and listened to many public ex
aminations. both here and elsewhere, and feel ourselves 1
justifiable in saying, that at no former exhibition of this
sort have we been more pleasantly entertained or high
ly gratified.
The young gentlemen and ladies, ns well ns the little i
boys and girls, all gave meat satisfactory evidence of j
their proficiency nnd thorough knowledge of their I
studies in their several reeitnt'nns This wns most !
cfearly evinced by the promptitude and readiness w ith j
which they answered and solved each question pro- j
pounded to them. We also feel justifiable in averting
thnt the discipline exerted over the pupils, is not excel
led in nny other similar institution m Georgia, in onr

In-conclusion, we cannot refrain from expressing onr
gratification at tlie performances ot the young ladies

saying that tlie performances of the young Indies in
Music, could not he surpassed any where in the State.

tor several weeks : and w hen I recovered ! was so much
oppressed hy difficulty in breathing, that I was incapa

wis unable to sleep or rest upon a bed by tiiudit The
suffering was frequently extreme, nnd judging from the
inelticncy of the remedies used, I supposed the disease
incurable Being persuaded to try a bottle of Wistnr's
Balsam of Wild Cherry, without the lenstconfidence in
its efficacy or that of any other prescription, no one can
billy understand my surprise nnd joy, w hen I found the
difficulty almost entirely removed before one bottle was

seldom using it in nny form, nothing but sympathy with
my fellow sufferers induced me to make ibis puiilic
