The Administration were fortunate in their selec-
ton of an officer to conduct the against Mexico.
General Taylor possesses in remarkable degree the
desirable qualifications for the commander of an
army great prudence. foresight undoubted courage,
complete knowledge of The art of war, and a mind
of superior order, calculated to gain the respect
and confidence of his army. His assault on Mon
terey was one of the boldest military achievements
recorded in military annals (; and yet his arrange
ments for the attack were SO admirably made, and
his forces in such excellent discipline that in max
ing the attack he could not have subjected himself
TO the charge of rashness. With an army exhaust
ed by forced marches, he arrived before the city Of
Monterey, which, besides being in itself series OF
Notifications, was defended by batteries command
ing all the approaches and garrisoned by an army
far more numerous than his own, and commanded
by one of the bravest and most experienced officers
in the Mexican service. notwithstanding this,
General Taylor, soon as he received the reports
of his recommending parties, and had satisfied him.
self of the force Of the enemy and the character Of
the deences Of the city, made his arrangements for
the capture Of the city by assault and his DISPOSE
tons were such, and such the confidence in the
conduct Of his officers and the courage of his men,
that he felt confident of success, although he knew
there must be hard fighting and the result accord
ed with his expectation. He granted to the Mexi-
can General liberal terms of capitulation, and thus
avoided the fndI'dssdllt, which would inevitably
have been fierce and bloody one, without being at
tended, even in case OF complete success with cor
responding advantages and the headquarters of the
American army are now in Monterey.

THE PRESIDENCY.

we have received from friend in the South a
communication naming a citizen Of high consdcra-
ton in the Wing party as aproper candidate for the
Presidency. but we must beg to decline at present
the insertion Of the article. The merits Of the emf
nent citizen alluded to are well known and appre-
ciated by the Wing party, well as those Of other
distinguished gentlemen who have been thought Of
and talked OF for that high Office, and their claims
are freely canvasscd in private conversation. To
that mode of discussion think the subject should
for the present be left. We respectfully submi
that the public attention. il now too imperatiyely
demanded by other questions Of more vital concern
to the common weal-the preservation Of the high
est interests Of the country, and even Of the Con-
stitution itself-to admit the introduction of the
agitatng subject Of the next Presidency. The
ship of State is on the breakers let every man
lend hand to get her of, and then consult about a
commander.

We refer our readers to the official notice Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, in this day paper, in
wiling proposals for q ten years loan of Fire MI
lions Of Dollars at six per cent. interest. No doubt
this amount will be readily taken by capitalists
but we do not understand why the Hon. Secretary
thinks it proper to allow higher rate Of interest
one form of Government credit than on another not
more eligible for the lender, if much so that is,
why allow but s. per cent. on Treasury notes, and
six per cent Treasury scrip and the latter with
the advantage othe holder Of being irredeemable for

INCIDENTS OF BATTLE.

We insert to-day, from the New Orleans and other
papers, several additional letters from individuals
whoparteipatedi in the glorious three days at Monte
reg. Every circumstance connected with battle so
honorable to our arms possesses deep interest and
the public mind seizes on every new account and
every fresh incident with undated ayidty. The
story of heroic achievement never pals, and none
are tired of hearing of some brave leader that

Another motive for giving the letters which we
select to-day, is, thai Of them from Gen. Bur
LER whose prudence having been impeachcd in a
letter which we copied last week from the Balli-
more Sun, it is highly proper that we give to our
readers what that brave and respectable officer states
in his defence One of the letters is also from the
gallant Col. Bale PEYToN, who, among other in
teresting details, states some facts in justification
of the Commanding Generals conduct in the terms
which he granted to the Mexican General. Gen.
Buffers opinion too, we are happy to see, sus-
tains Gen. TAYLOR, even if some rough words did
pass between them.

The Democracy Of the city Of Now York held
mass meeting on Friday evening last to consider
the names recommended by their nominating COM
mitiee for members Of Assembly, &c. These
nominations, our readers will remember, were de-
nounced by the Democratic Evening Post as totally
disreputablc and unworthy Of the support of any
party. The nominations were, however, ratified
by the party in general meeting in Tammany Hall
on Friday night. The Post Of the following day
reiterates its opinion of the nominations, and ayers
that " there are men named on the list of persons
nominated by the appeIIation Of Democratic can
didates for the Assembly whom no Democrat and
no respectable man Of any party ought to vote
for" Yet we shall see that the party will sup
port the nominations at the polls, bad as they are
confessed to be. And SUCH sooner or later, must
be the inevitable result Of submission to the drill of
party clubs, which are generally governed by the
most noisy and unprincipled Of the materials which
compose them.

We met in the Courier Ffansais, some time

and its exemptions

pose with the courters thus to call in the royal tv
all things and for all things and 70 apply after their fashion,
within the sphere Of private interests the doctrines Of the
Journal des Dtbats, heavy responsibility weigh upon
them"
Such is the language of leading Paris journal.
Observe the feeling indicated as prevailing under
that Kingly Government: thattheremen grow fierce
at the thought of the KING having about him boz
dy ofpeople who refer every thing TO his pleasure,
make all merit and all claim to employment depen-
dant on his likes and dslikes, because by snbser-
vency to his power they can secure its benefits to
themselves. The French, in short, are indignant
at the idea of spoils-system,' under which pub
TIC rewards Shall pc distributed WltOut the least re-
gard to service or competency, and, in defiance of
duty to the public interests, be showered upon the
minions of court or party, only to please power
or strengthen its hands.
Such seems clearly the public feeling, in the
French Monarchy, to the royal patronage and
power. Among what here styles itself the g Demo-
cracy," very different sentiment is known to pre-
vail. With them, in nearly all sections Of the coun-
try, it has passed into settled and an avowed po-
itical axiom--nay, one of the most sacred canons
of the party-that the appointing power shall be
used, matter of right not for the public benefit
but directly to its defeat, and only for the interest
of those in power. OF all public trusts the Exc
cutive is to take possession, as his own personal
property, for the time being. or, at best great
trust-fund for the use of his party, which he may
administer almost as he pleases!
Now, we ask, which looks the more Republican
of these two Goyernments---that (France) where
such administrative conduct is only charged upon
the Executive power by Us enemies: or that (the
United States) where it is auo,oed as leading
principle by the friends Of the Executive, and by
that power itself?
