He says, tii.it in ordinary leg Elation, if the people t trough their representatives demand low or high tnr.fls. a bank or a sub-treasury, if they wish internal improve ments or the opposite, that no one man has a right cither intrin stilly or dclcgnted, towiy nay. Is not i!i.4 ii v *ry essence of republicanism ? lit not in accordance with the pmcticmof the eailier l'rcs idents? Is not Gen Taylor entitled to infinite praise ■ for reviving the ancient landmarks hiil recalling the, minds of the people to some of the first principles which guided Washington and Madison m.d Jeticiaou in the* Administration of affairs ? We admit that the construction of the veto power given by G n. Taylor has been decided against by the | people of this country. In obedience to the wild ini pulse of party, they have been momentarily carried j away, nnd they may have aeeuied lo sanction the exer cise ol the veto power by Jackson and Van Buren and j Tyler, and even by Polk, but it was it a time when even the old world was usleep on the subject of the one man pouter. Now ili.t Europe has aroused Iroro the slumber ol ages, that thrones are crumbling and oynastie* tallmg, n can hardly be that the people of this blessed Union will sanction the use of an arbitrary pow er which could only be exercised with safety and im punity by one crowned head in by the ! Autocrat of Russia. Such doctrines, wc arc happy towiy, Gen. Taylor does not hoi !. He is one of tiie people—he spiung ’ from the people—he has sympathies for tlie people—h* j knows their i ightsand capabilities, and be seems to have been specially mis and up by Providence to recognize the one and develop the oilier. Though his views, in the eyes of our Inend of the Telegraph, may appear to b “ loose and inexplicit,’* we slid humbly believe that he is one of those great advocates o; the rights of man— one of those pioneers of republican simplicity and re publican liberty—a man of a century, whose genius and jrower arc destined to leave n (Jeep impression upon the whole face of society. Believing this to Ik* the caar, wc nre the advocates ol \ (en. Taylor for the Presidency, t:e more especially since h** has assumed the broad, l hern I. popular ground Upon this very subject, and u the same time qualified his views in such n way as to give ample security to all rights of property or person which vest under th** Con stitution. He is (in no narrow or contracted sense) the people's candidate, because he isa true exponent of the rights and powers of the people. No wonder that such a candidate should excite the especial opfiosition of Mr. Ritchie and Ins followers, our only astonishment is, that they should be able to enlist the services of those w ho have always heretofore recognized the right of the majority to govern, and the duly of the minority to acquiesce.

We have repeated occasion to speak of the impoitant; ei vices rendered by the representative of the first Con- ! grt sstonai District both to the Nation nt large,and to ‘ the Naval service in particular.

Thirdly, l have never stated to any one that 1 was in lavor of the tariff” of 16. of the Sub-Treasury, iur that 1 originated the war with Mexico. Nor, finally, that I should fit elected) select my Cabinet from both parties. No such admissions or statements were made by me, at any time, to any person. Permit me, however t” add, that should such high distinction In* conferred upon me as that of elevation to tlie Executive Office, the Constitution, in a strict and honest interpretation, and in the spirit and mode in which it was acted upon by our earlier Presidents, would be my c net guide. In this I conceive to be ail that is necessary in the way of pledges. The election ol another candidate would occasion no mortification to me, but to such a result, as the will of the people, 1 would w tlltugly and caimiy submit.

The following article from the New-Orleans Nation al, settled forever the much mooted paint in regard to the erossii g of the Nuecirs. It is from the pen of the Editors of the National, and dated at Baton Rauge, April 27th 1848. The writer says : “ The National Intelligencer, of the Bth inst., contains the proceedings of the lower House of Congress on the previous day, the spirit of which is to force the impres sion on th? people of the country that Gen. Taylor ori- • ginnted the order, and marched on to Mntamorasbv his j owt, will and judgment. That any member of Congress sh. Mild be so uuacrupuloi s or so ignorant of the true history ot Gen Taylor's movements, is a matter of sur prise, us documents already published by the War De partment give the outlines, if nor the particulars, rela tive to this subject, so clearly that there need be no jus tifiable cause of misrepresentation. “ “ hen Gen Taylor was ordered to Mexico, he was instruct*J to take a position near the Rio Grande, Point Isabel being named ue a jirnper place, but in \ consequence ot having large discretionary powers, he • preferred to take a position on undeniably American soil! rather than infringe upon disputed territory, fie there- j fore made h.s headquarters at Corpus Christi.a place ‘ tint beyond its being with the acknowledged bounda ry ol I exas, was inconvenient, and in no way favorable i for ati encampment—still Gen. Taylor prepared to suf fer every evil incidental to his situation, ruther than in any way to conipromit his government. After General Taylor hnd been some time at Corpus Christi, Major Donaldson, the repiesentative of the U. S. government in Texas,came to Gen. Taylor’s camp for theespecial purpose of advising Gen. Taylor not to cross the Nu , eces lest he should involve the government in a war with Mexico,Gen. Taylor in the mean time having been informed by the government that it wished him to* con fer’ w ith Maj Donaldson. In the course of events, Mj. I Donaldson leit Gen. Taylor’? camp, and there came on fiom Washington, letters to Gen. Taylor informing hltn that he siioui.d move part of his forces west of the Nueces Gen. Taylor not wishing to divide hiosmall command, and the government having relieved him of the responsibility of crossing the Nuecs, he took his whole force over, as he could by so doing readily ob tain n good camping ground,and a depot convenient for his tmlitaiy stores. The events that followed this movement on the part of Gen. Taylor are familiar to the wot Id The above is a true statement of the preiimma- ‘ if s that led to the advance of our army on Matamoros. 1 The main Ihcts can be gathered,as I have stated, from ! the ‘ public documents* already published, containing the correspond’ lice of Gen. Taylor with the war de- I pii tment previous to the battles of the Bth and 9th ol May. Ollier facts stated can be proved if denied The i most superficial <-hserver must perceive that Gen. Tay lor has never been inconsistent, and that charges made against him, whether frivolous or of we-ght, when ex amined into only cause hi.** prudence and strict ‘obeying ot orders’ to be more and more admired. The state ment made in Congress that some individual from Mis sissippi had called on Gen. Taylor, at Baton Rouge,) ami that in n long conversation he tuni had with lien, i Taylor the General admitted,he took the responsibility i of moving across the Nueces, caused me to write you * tins Utter. The pu Mien lion of an admitted private con-1 ve,mtion iscertninly very indelicate, but when it pro- . fesscs tog.vi- the details of a conversation that tierer l took place, it amounts to the committal of the most of feu-ive falsehood.” * Ami mm Tiai't .Society.

They will vote in the first instance for Mr. Webster or some other Northern mail and then most likely for Gen. Taylor. The Boston Atlas thus concludes a long article : “.Some may sjpp that w are personally hostile to Mr. Clay. S ich iu not th fact, We him > much as we v*r did, but when it is as <ed of ns to urge him f r the nomination ol the Whig Naitoriul conven tion, or to keep quiet and let others do it, we beg leave to demur. We believe that Mr Clay is the weaken candidate spoken of by the Whigs. We believe with him ns the candidate, our defeat would he rigtinl nnd overwhelming ; which however, we could bear very well, if we thought there w uld beany chance in 1852 But what assurance have we that Mr Clay’s friends wont urge him lor the nomination then, and try to make men beleive that no one so well represents th* Whig principles? If indeed it is a part of the whig prin ciple to be always defeated, then we acknowledge Mr. Clay’s claims to be supreme.” Gen. IVrsifor F. Smith. We find in the New Orleans Bulletin the extract <>! a letter from Gen. IVrsifor F. Smith to a gentleman in New Oilcans dated Mexico April Bth. No man piobably knows Gen. Tayi or better than does Gen. S. and certainly none is better prepared to give n calm impartial opinion in regard to his character and quali ties as a man and a soldier. At the present moment such views from such o source, cannot fail to be read with the most universal and profound interest, Gen. •Smi in says : Gen. ‘Baylor’s military exploits arc not the causes of his popularity, they are only the occasion for the display ol his sound judgment, energy of cliaractei, lolly and pure sensed justice nn.l incorruptible hones ty. He has ns much reputation lor wjiat he has writ ten, as for what he has done *• I never heard of any one, however corrupt or base hiin-eit, that alter five minutes conversation with Gen I Taylor has dared to propose, or even to hint, at any- [ thing dishonest or mean, and no intercourse in the or-1 dinarv events ol common life,can give the tru* idea ol the loftiness of his character. I remember you asked me nt the time he was put : in command at Corpus Christi, whether he was equal to the ciicumstances t I told you in reply, ol his; pound judgment and inexhaustible energy, as i learn-1 cJ them in Florida, but 1 did not then properly esti mute the other ami higher points ot his character. In the campaign on the Rio Grande I saw him tried un derail circumstances, and he a 1 ways came out pure gold. ” His profession that he will be the enndi late of no party will,if he beelected.be ciriieJ out in practice, not that his opinion on matters of policy may not be : those of one or the other party, as on most of these lie is a \V hig, and he is not the man to act a Iveise to his own opinions, but no party munag ment or power, can ever lead him to do a mean, or what he thinks,a wrong thi.-ig. *'* As soon as Gen. Taylor was furnished by events, with the opportunity to di-play his character, you see that it once properly estimated, and I come back to the proposition I started with, that the people will always properly measure great men. I do not say that they will always reward them proyerly, for they give a direct expression to their feelings and*ihelea§ worthy may hove their vote without their wishes.” An Accomplished Officer. An officer of the Army writes: “Gen. Persifor F. Smith, ol Louisiana, is considered one of the best offi cers in the at my.

Inquirer Important Treaty, The following are the bases of a treaty said to have been concluded between the Pope, the King ot Sardin ia, and the GianJ Duke ot Tuscany, for the future or ganization of Italy. The Italian Peninsula is to be divided into six great States 1. Naples. 2. Sicily. 3. Slates of the Church. 4. The Kingdom ot Etruia, for the advantage ol the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to consist of the actual Grand Duchy, and the adjoining territories of Pentremoli, I Modena, Pietrnsanti.and Lunigiana. 5. Lombardy, under whatever form of governmenl the Lombards may adopt. 6. Sardinia, with an indemnity to King Charles Al bert, in case Savoy should be annexed to France. An alliance offensive and defensive between the six States. An Italiun confederation well defended by a line ol fortresses along the Irontieis. A umtofiu law tor weights, measures and currency. Aboiiiioii of internal custom duties. A diet ai Rome, under the Presidency of the Pope. Such are the buses of this important treaty.
