lowing:

didate, will be fifteen thousand. Two
other candidates were in the field, Native

ceived, in Allegheny county, about six
hundred Notes.-The Native candidate al
most as many.
This is most gratifying result, and
the more 50, that a wonderful hue and
cry has been raised against the present
tarif--and the strongest Wing in the
State brought forward to contest the field
with Mr.. Skunk.

OrThe message Of Governor Dodge
to the Legislature Of Wisconsin on the
18th INST, is brief, but very pertinent to
the occasion.
GEN. TAYLOR AND THE WILMOT
PROVISO.
We extract the following paragraph
from the N. Orleans Delta of the Gath ul-
t!mo:
'sThe New York Tribune denies the
statement that Gen. Taylor IS opposed to
the Wilmot Proviso, and says that it has
in its possession conclusive evidence Of
his hostility TO any further extension Of
the slave power. This same statement
has been made in some other quarters;
and we believe our able contemporary of
the Bee, published in his journal an arti-
Gle expressing his desire that the implied
assent of Gen. Taylor in the views of the
Cincinnati Signal, in its editorial relating
to the celebrated letter should be more ex-
planned. We understand that there is a
letter from Gen. Taylor in this city,
which puts forever at rest all doubt on
this subject, and shows that on this ques-
ton he is true to Southern rights and prin-
clples; in other words, that he is opposed
to the Willnot Proviso. We state this, Of
course, from hearsay, not having seen
the letter ourselves, but having heard of
its contents from good authority"

Cool lMPUDENcE.- editor of the
Hawk-Eye seldom lets an opportunity
pass Of abusing the Irish, and particular
ly the Catholics. A short time since he
stated that Riley and his legion were all
Irish Catholics. A communication adj
dressed to the State Gazette, signed "Pe-
osta," replied to this article in spirited
manner, taking the old man by the fore
top, and leading him right square up to
the truth. After charging the authorship
Of the article upon Gen. Dodge, which is
as false as his own vision is perverted,
he attempts to excuse himself in the fol-
lowing manner: eff those deserters had
been Yankees, we should have spoken of
them in the same terms No doubt you
would; if, by doing SO, you could the bet
ter serve your purpose. Again he says:
"It was not because they were, or were
not, Irishmen, that we denounced them
but it was because they were deserters."
