GEN TAYLoR.-The citizens Of n.
Orleans have called public meeting, TO
adopt resolutions expressive Of their ad
miraiion Of Gen. Taylor, and for the
brilliant and heroic services rendered 10
our country by the gallant General, and
The officers and soldiers under his com
mand, forming The army in Texas on
the Rio GraOde, The call for this
meeting has been signed by large mum
Der of very eminent citizens.

The first brevet Of Major during The
war of 1912 His bravery has won The

ing Of party character, the adhesion Of Ihcl
wings secured that moderation Of language
for which il is remarkable. II seems that
according to the forms Of Congress, the
House Of representatives must concur iDI
the resolution as amended by the Senate,
and for this purpose it will undergo some
further debate IN the lower house.
As The notice stands. in Mr.. Cdlendenn
motion, there is moi an expression in the
preamble with which we DO not cordially
concur, and it forms striking contrast to
the peremplory and unqualified expression
used by Mr. Polk in his Official communl
cations In fact when the Senate Of the
United States speaks of the 'evil cOnse
quences of lhe divided allegiance Of an A
mericon and British population and of 'he
confusion and conflict Ct national juriSdic
ton in Oregon they substantially recognize
that principle of DIVISION which Mr.. Polk
has hitherto denied and they impose upon
him the prosecution of a negotiation which
he has endeavored to render impossible.
Thus far, then, and in more respects than
one, the American notice materially ina
proves the prOspec! Of speedy setemen.
Il recognizes, in general terms, the basis up
on which alone such settlement can be al
tempted, and, by putting an end 10 The peri,
cd of joint occupancy, is prepares us TO
maintain to the fullest extent the rights we
derive from present occupation.
Whatever be the fate of the provisional
treaties, we presume that no one will cono
test that the rights and interests which have
grown by their protection and authority are
sacred both nnder the letter of those treaties
and under the original rights to which we
now revert in all their force.
Oar position as claimants upon an equa'
footing with the United States for the parli

er strengthened than weakened by the ab-
rogaIion Of the treaty, and we cannot doubl
that The ministers Of the Crown will be
ready, upon the receipt of the notice, frAly
and explicitly TO declare to the Cabjne! Of
Washington wha! those rights are which
they have long been resolved and prepared
TO maintain Every incident which has
occurred in the course Of those discussions
has more and more fully convinced us that
whista compromise is necessary, and, in
deed, our own statements Of our claims sug-
gess division, no surrender Of those claims
can be attempted, We are no! at all con-
sciOus Of having advanced any argument, or
made ary assertion, which is not within
the slriclesl limits TO which British rights
might have been traced carried and below
The line which has been for the policy Of
this country lies nothing but insecurity and
disgrace. 10 that position we therefore
adhere, we have no doubt that the Minis
lers Of the Crown will adhere to It no less,
firmly, confident that in The mainIaiosnce of
just rights as well as in securing peace
they are supported by the unanimous reso-

Missouri Volunteers for Santa Fe,-
I'm Important MOvemenL-An important
movement in the west is announced in the
ST Louis Republican, Of last Friday, in
letter written by member of the u S.
Senate, 'in the confidence of the ad ninisira-
ton and addressed 10 Col. R. Campbell,
aid TO the Governor of Missouri. The let
Ter was written on the day after war be-
tween the United Slsles and Mexico was
declared, and IRON it we take the subjoined
extract. Santa Fe is on the east of the Rio
Grande, and lurge trade is carried on be-
tween It's inhabitants and those OF the u.
States.
Our first care in this sudden change ir
our relations with that country was 10 Try
and take care of our Santa Fe trade. For
this purpose it will be proposed TO the Peo-
pie ofNewMexico, ,Chihuahua,and the other
internal provinces, that they remain quiet
and continue trading with us as usual, upon
which condition they shall be protected in
all the rights and be treated as friends. To
give effect to his proposition and TO make
sure al all events of protection 10 the per-
sons and property of ouI traders, besides
the proclamation of the President 10 that
effect, Col Kearney will start immediate
y with three hundred Dragons, 10 be fol.
lowed as quick IS possible by one thousand
mounted volunteers from Missouri, and
with authority to engage the services, if ne
cessaTy, of al the Americans in that part Of
The world This military movement will
ne 10 make sure Of the main object, TO wit;
pace and trade, to be secured peaceabiy II
possible. forciby if necessary. For unless
hey accept those conditions, the country
will have TO be taken posssssien of as a
conquest. This, however, we hope will
not be necessary, as it will be so obviously
10 the interest Of the inhabitants Of that part
of Mexico, Zoo FAR off from the central gov.
ermqnt to have effect in general hostiilles, }
to enjoy the benefits of peace and nade.
with the full protection of all their rights Of
person, property and religion
A book was opened at ST: Louis for the
enrolnents of the names of persons desiTous
of entering upon an expedition 10 SaniaFe.
The Republican says that gentleman, IN,
dsrslood to be The bearer Of important De,
spaiches from the government to The Govs
srnor of Missouri and Col. Kearney, ariv-
ed at St Louis on Thursday, and would
proceed on his route as fast as steam could
carly him. No doubt seemed to be enter
tanned that the statement contained in The
'entI was true, and that a requisition on
Missouri for one thousand mounted yolun
leers would be speedily made.
