Our little sister on the other side of the ‘ Father of Waters’ lias come out of the contest, which took place on the sth instant, covered all over with glory. The election was for Judges of the District Courts and ‘ Superintendent of Public Schools,’ the last being the only officer voted by the whole State. Party lines were distinctly drawn anti the (flection was the most excited ever known there. Jtidge‘Charles Mason, a mail j ut'high standing arid character, and late Chief .1 ustiee of the Territory, was the regular leoo- Foeo candidate, and Jarites ‘i far! 'in, Esq., was I the whig nominee. Loco-Focoism had th r*W aiineil to justify, at this election, its tnise ible pretext for not going into an election of Sem tors and Judges, by the Legislature hist winter; but the People seised, it as the first opporti ity ! to rebuke the reckless abandonment of oath And : duty by the Loco Foeo members of thfe Le’ Aa | Cure.

The Judge had been in the Territory and on the Bench from its first es- j tablisbment, while Mr. Harlan, was a new-comer j in the State, and only known as the whig candi ’ date. The whigs there fought under the banner of ‘Rough and Ready*’ In August next, they have another election lor members of Congress in pla 6 of Lcffler and Hastings, and mark it, by the suite, sign they have conquered at the late election 1 ; they will again triumph. * Yours truly, GENERAL TAYLOII AND THE SOUTH. One reason why tlie South should, and probably, will, sustain (I on. Taylor for tlie Presidency with ! great unanimity, is because his nomination affords l us a final and unlooked for chance of electing a Southern man to that office. Now when it is | considered that both the great parties at the north court tlie anti-slavery faction; they both are op-; j.o.'cl to the extension of slavery; and that both • exhibited in the late Congress a settled deter mination to disfranchise the South —the import auoe of placing at the head of the Government one Who from birth, association and conviction is identified with the Smith, and who will fearlessly j uphold her rights and guard her from oppression, j i cAnnot fh.il to strike every candid mind. In this \ ’ view, his election becomes a matter of vital im portance to the slaveholding portion of the con f'-leraey. This opinion, we pciceive. is shared liy norths ern journals and conspicuously by the NRk Yov# i Courier and Enquirer—lt pres* that, whatever | it'r*l •.* iI- .■ i I'yv-. M | U'i .WJJ -V'. f.s entn Ph; to southern gratitude its hold, holiest, undev ; iating and consistent Miiintonaisie of our rights. In the course of an lysiended article on the chobio of General Taylor as flic people’s candidate, the 1 Courier and Eie/airer says that there is another aid v ital question which the election of (leu. Tay lor will allay—tin; interference of the North with the peculiar institutions of the south. Nineteen | twentieths of the whole population ofthe northern i States are anxious to have the question of ! slavery to be disposed of exrlusively by the States where it exists. . ‘Yet,’ continues that journal, ‘ such has been the course of events— Midi that tho influence of demagogues and expe diency politicians-—thtit- small as is tjie Abolition j ; party, they have acquired a balance of power in j j certain secti.'tts of the country, which lias induced j unprincipled politicians—these who seek power I I and office—to court thorn even at tlie expense of the Union itself. Hence the M ILMOT ntovisd I In-ought forward liy the Locofocos! lienee the determination of both parties not to run a man j from the shifeholdittg States for tlie Presidency j in 18JS ! Now, thank God— and from our hearts j do we thrnilc him for his timely interposition in i our behalf—the great events which in his Provi dence he has permitted, and which lias given General Taylor a sufficient hold upon tlie grati tude of his countrymen to insure his election to the Presidency almost by acclamation, at once and forever crush the hydra-headed monster ! abolition in its bud, and will preserve to us that ; Union which AMPfiington, in his farewell address, i ; so earnestly impressed upon his covntrymeti the | neces-Jy of guarding and protecting—that Union i which is S blessing to alt who may claim its protection, and which renfvrshonor mid dignity, upon the t wenty miilioßS of people who live | beneath its stars and stripes. Can tlie South require a stronger argument to urge them to (lie support of Taylor than is furnished by the catholic and patriotic hngnage ~fa nortlicrri)>ress. - /Vrtf drlcani. THE FIRE) SPREADING. The signs of the timcScamiotbe misunderstood; ; every where the count ri is rising for Zachary Tay lor as the next President of these United States, : and whatever the party wire pullers may do, the j : people will take upon themselves the labor—a j veritable labor of love—of selecting their own i chief magistrate to succeed the present incum | bent of the Presidential chair.

The uewspapcrArall parts of the country ! arc raising the Taylortflag, and among those , which came to us in tridays mail, with the name of Zachary Taylor at llieir mast heads, are two of the most successful and prominent journals of tho west—the Louis-pllo Courier and the St. Louis New Era. The speeches of J essrs. Clay and Prentiss at New Orleans, are p; sighed at length in the Irish papers. GEN. TAYLOR. The despatches, character and eonduct of Jeueral Taylor, are thus spoken of by tho Cour- , ; er des Etats Unis: —“The despatches of Gen- i i ral Taylor bear ihe same impress in modesty i ud simplicity, which heretofore have marked all the acts and words of this General. The answer ißde by him to Santa Anna’s summons to sur tftnder at discretion, is worthy of a place in the ijiilitary annals of allpeoplo, as a model ofgrau ifeur and courtesy. These three lines so simple, *> polite, should suffice to render illustrious the j life of him who wrote them. The sublime Ininiility is much finer, much grander, than a [/parody of a saying, ‘the Guard dies and does not surrender,’ as was tho report of the first statements after the battle.” After reporting the anecdotes of General Tay lor’s personal behavior, his careless self-exposure during the fight, the interest with which he watched and filially cheered the success of the Kentucky regiment, his humanity in seeking to spare the detachment of Mexicans separated from the main body, and finally, his sending back tho two foreign deserters from our army, instead of hanging them up as by the laws of war he might have done, —referring especially to this Isstinci ijjept, the Gemrirr exclaims: con tempt! magnificent clemency! These traits arid a thousand others throw such a charm, and so much of poetry over a character where good ness is allied to heroic firmness, arid where the warrior is cut out of the granite of the man of j worth, that the popularity of the victor of lduena Vista has become so immense that he will be elected President by acclamation, if no untoward accident shall befall to change the current of universal sympathy now flowing on all sides towards him.” MR. CLAY. Mr. Clay has written a pleasing reply to the ; letter of Sylvester Schenck, Esq., of Auburn, in 1 this State, accompanying the gift by several j \\ liigs of that place of an elegant office chair arid ■uniting appendages, a notice of which we pub - lished a few weeks ago. The letter of Mr. S., j and the reply are both in the Auburn llaiiy Ad- i vertiser o.i the 17th. After thanking the givers, j in his nsnal courteous manner, the sago of Ash land goes on to allude to the regret expressed in I their letter as to the result of the last Presiden- j rial election, and says: “ I ought to fed none for j myself, personally. Besides being relieved from a • vast responsibility itjfirriiished the occasion ofthe . exhibition of testimonials, and the outpouring of 1 ( the affection from flic hearts of try friends, arid ; ! countrymen, of which I had no .previous concept- j Hon that I could be the honored object. Their spontaneous and dishitercste 1 manifestations are ! worth far more than tiie Presidency itself.”— And in an allirsiori to the existing sa, the clo- 1 ripieiity write#, -bhr—“The brilliant achieve- 1 incuts, and the glorious laurels acquired, during its prosecution, gratifying ‘ah they are to our na J ‘tonal pride ami character, can never compensate for the exceptionable maimer in which it was begun, the brave and patriotic lives which have been sacrificed, and the fearful isrues which, I tremble in contemplating, may grow out of its termination.

Col. 11.

There is, j therefore, a particular fitness, that those who in \ | life were united together bjuthei strongest laws | of affection, should sleep together in death. j For the kind and friendly interest which the ] people of Louisville have taken on an occasion so distressing to mo, and for tho generous sym pathy manifested by you in yous obliging letter, f tender an expression of my profound gratitude and thanks.

TAYLOR. In the course of the remarks made at the great town meeting held in the Independence .square (Philadelphia) on Saturday evening last, by the ; Hoii. John Sergeant, he said: ‘ Thus in eleven months General Taylor has become a historical iidiaraeter; and with an uu conscious modesty, he has with his sword and his pen, written his own history—so that it forms , one of the brightest episodes in the annals of th United States since the days of Washington.

I While English Statesmen are devising dai“ I plans fur the increase and protection of pauper ism in this long-royal and long-suffering Province I of Ireland, American Statesmen, regarding this country as, even in its wreck, worth being saved, ; are accumulating their voluntary tributes for the] relief of our necessities. While the chief jour nals of the English capital are daily teeming with invectives against our people, high and low, American journals, from Houston down to East port, are reviving reininiscences of Irish merit, ‘ in order to hasten the kindly interference of their ! etmntry in behalf of oufr. While the popular j divines of England can site in pestilence and fa- : mine, oifly judgements from an angered Deity,, smiting Iretaiic! on both cheeks for her idolatry, ‘ the favorite preaehei sos Air. Crick perceive but an i opportunity for the exercise ofTnftfw •charity. This nation’s position reatrinbles that of the man in the Gospel who went down from Jerusa- ; lem to Jerico. America is our Samaritan.—■” When our wounds arc lmnd up. and we are able to go our destined way, we will know to whom our gratitude is due. •“ A certain Levito” shall also be remembered. Gut of'this famine will Some muuy results, one of the greatest of which may lie, if we desire it, the establishment of “a cordial understand ing” between its And ‘the Uifited States of Amer ica. I’t is an axiom of the closed observers ofhu- i rilaif nature, that conferring benefits on any ob- ! ject endears that object to tho benefactor: so in j domestic life, adopted children are usually the ; dearest. And at this hour, America, like the Grecian daughter, feeds from the warm bosom of ] her youth, the aged, and alas! shaeklecd nation, ! to which her infancy owed protection and sup-I port. Never, indeed, did tho world behold a j finer spectacle. Sentence of death had gone) forth from Babylon on millions of oir- people, j The European Continent was dumb, except j where, riefir the extreme South, the Pontiff Lib- i orator of Rome searched in l.'s hollow coffers af- ; ter a mite for Ireland. France was silent, Aus ria was silent. Russia did not cry out “ shame!” I A diplomatist rules in Paris ; arid the ancient j friendship between the countries of Sursficldand ‘ Count Saxe, of llochc, arid of Tone, has withered ; beneath his rule. A diplomatist rules at Vienna, anil the V'rvicsof our great soldiers at Austria— our Kavanaghs, Maes air'. G Reilleys—never j weighed a feather on tlie power balancing brain of Metiernicli. Even the Rear of the Pole has : turned diplomatist, and grumbles in caitcls.— . Italy, except Rome, and all Spain lie's the help- | less and bleeding prey of this sam:: accursed di- 1 plonmcy, From Continental Europe, then, we | could gi.iii i,o aid .against England; for Europe is ruled by heads: not hearts —by profits, not j principles—liy ‘the laws of nations, ’ not ‘the laws of God.’ Rut America, happily, thus far has escaped ‘ the incubus; and America, in a national sense, lias become Ireland’s friend —her chief friend among the nations. Now England, our governor, alternately hates and fears America; and America retu.'ns hatred for hatred, and scorn for scorn, but feels no fear of my earthly power. Let us follow thr three nations mio the future, as far as human sense eau see. To begin ; England, in tlie years 1810 and 1847, hid the | government of Ireland in her own hands. In i those years 2,000,0M0 of tho Irish people died j for want of.food, while there was plenty of money | and credit in England; and plenty of feud for the fetching beyond seas. j America, in the Spring of 1847, hearing of I Ireland’s distress, made a magnanimous effort to j j save her, and succeeded m preserving nearly j | 1,000,000 of Irish lives, by assistance ,rendered j J in Ireland, or to Irish emigrants in America. All ye who may survive this English famine, note down in the new leaf of your memories this contrast. Lot us speculate a little farther; Suppose, in the year of our Lord 1850, that Ireland, with a population reduced to 5,000,000, begins to recover from this awful ordeal-—that j her peasants till the land again, and bar artisans resume their labors. Suppose this done, under a policy among Irishmen, and less injurious j imperial laws, this island will, even then, he a power in Europe, though still a province. Rut J suppose it then being, or about to be, a free na- ; ! tion, governing itself by certain moral and nation- , | al laws, having and cultivating certain foreign j | relations, what will he i's position in regard to ! America? Why, this:— I America, needs Europe, and our re- i j lations have always been of a friendly kind ; hut (mm this year forth ho Irishintf will willingly I draw a trigger, against her. Our harbors are I nearer to America than England's, and more ac cessible. The merchants of New York and New Orleans alone have lost millions of dollars in Saint George’s Channel, because they follow ; ed the arbitrary current of British commerce, 1 flowing into that sink of the old slave-trade. Liv- erpOol. Until the late abolition of the corn, laws, ! J Great Britian could, in a measure, control Amor- | ica’s commerce; but now America, the great i producer at once of the materials of manufacture j and the food of the manufacturer, can turn, not only her own, but British commeVce, into such channels as she pleases. Moreover, America! must be, before many years, the intermediate j i agent between Asia and Europe. From London j to Canton, round Cape ilorn, is more than 0,000 j miles —from the same place to the same, by Pan- j ! ama or Oregon, less than 5,000. America will then, more and more, require an ally and a depot 1 1 on the west of Europe; and we hereby, after full, deliberation, advertise Ireland as a candidate for ] that employment, whose qualifications excel 1 those of all others. One object in this speculation is to keep the Irish in Ireland. If wo are starved, colonised, 1 r otherwise swindled out of m, the English will* quietly remove here their g.jierinental and otbot/.- machinery, even as the of olil removed’ io Carthage, or Duke William and bis vaseefc from Normanily to England , and they will be ! oo*e to Europe all that wu rnighli have been. | The Irish name and nature will fade from the i facte of the earth, and the island of our become the bofiie of a uew people, ruling anil en joying where we have starved and dic’d .
