ed at the last election, gave pledges to a
portion of his constituents relating to
certain questions and it was maintained in
the Chamber that the fact of having given
pledges invalidated the functions of Dep
uty, and rendered him unfit to serve in a
deliberate assembly. II was SO decided,
and the seat of M. Drault was declared
vacant. The vote stood one hundred and
ff,y-one to one hundred and ,hirly.four.

NIKE WALSH charges distinctly in the

and lays it at the door of some of his pro-

nor even the fifth time, that similar effort
has been made to get him out of the way.

GEN. Scorr GoSz.-The Philadelphia
United States Gazette, Of the Goth, states
on the highest authority, that Gen. Scott
passed through that city on the day previous,
on his way to embark ut New York. on the
steam packet Sou,herner for Charleston.
from which place he will proceed directly
10 the scat Of war. go. 1900
There seems 10 be no reason to doubt,
that Gen. Scott has been ordered to Mexico;
but the precise position which he is to occu-
Ply there does not appear to be SO well un-
ders,ood. Gen. Scott, we have good
reason TO believe, will take command of the
,Dltole Army in Mexico. He has been sent
there, we think, to avoid an awkward state
of circumstances which was likely to ensue
if the administration should accede to the
request of Gen. Taylor, to be relieved from
The command, for time at least. This re.
quest, we are assured, has been for some
time before the President, and il is probable
tina, the greatest difficulty which presented
itself was the selection of a SUCCESSOR
Gen. Butler and Gen. Patterson are the off
|, GERS of the highest rank, but it is not be
lieved that they could command the conf
dence of any considerable portion of the
Army. ..
We are inclined to believe that the selec
ton of Gen. Scott has been made to avoit
this dilemma; that he WILL on his arrival il
Mexico, relieve Gen. Taylor of the com
, mand; and that, thereafter. he will have tn
direction of all military operations. .r.

Union announces, officially, of course, that
in speaking of the Who's, it will hereafter
call them Federalists. The Wings are get.
ting too popular for the Union, and, child.
like, il gives way to its chogrined feelings,
by calling names! This is ridiculous
trick, even in children; but when "grave
and reverend segnors" resort TO il, Ian.
guage fails to express how contemplate
they appear.
The truth is, the day has passed when a
mere NAME will achieve much; il wont do
to call Monarchy Republicsnism, nor Ty-
ranny Freedom; the peope of this country
have confded in names, long enough. ln
the name Of Democracy, they have been
promised rich harvests. but instead OF
wheat, they got cheat. The name Of De-.
mocracy has lost its power. The people
see what has been done under the grea,
cloak of democracy, and they are ready to
say, and have said, in many Of the States
away with your democracy: it is pleasan,
to the ear, but bitter to the tongue. Par
ties will have to stand or fall, henceforth
upon their Principles; il will matter moi
what they are called. The question will
be, "Are the Principles they advocate
: founded upon Truth, and W ould their adop
ton and sanction be of benefit to the coun
try" If this be satisfactorily answered
the calling of names will be of no avail
and will work no injury but to those wht
resort TO it.

Mr.. Bay, of Franklin, introduced the
following resolution into the House of Rep
resenta.ives, which, with the remarks fol-

RESOLVED, That the Governor OF the State be,
and hereby is, requested 10 communicate 10 this

formation which he may be in possession Of, in
relation to the selling, redeeming, or exchanging
bonds Of this State, under the provisions OF an
act, entitled "an act 10 provide for the payment
and redemption Of certain Bonds, approved Feb.
ruary 81, 1886" particularly who he employed
as agent 10 negotiate sale Of said Bonds, the
amount Of expenses attending the same. with the
items thereof also, what acquisitions have been
made by him, if any, to defray the expenses
created in carrying said act into efect-lhe
amount Of said Iequisition, and in whose favor
the same was made.
This resolution has reference, as will be
observed, 10 the fac, that the Governor
appointed himself agent, last fall, for the
sale Of the State Bonds. Hence the inform
alton sought is looked for with much inter

done through The instrumentality of J. c
Edwards, Agent, was not publicly known
until the delivery Of his Excellency's re

each, had been sold-for which, we learn
