The Administration and Gen. Taylor

The Administration has been abused by The
Wing party more, probably, for leaving Gen. Tay
lor, as they say, without men to defend his posi-
ton at Buena Vista, than for any thing else during
this war; With what justice this has been done
may be seen by the following extract from letter
of COL Jefferson Davis, who was with Gen. Tay
lor at that engagement. and no doubt "speaks by
the book" Col. Davis says ~
"Before closing, | will recur to re.
cent and characteristic exhibition oi
his [Gen. TaylSr's patriotism. He
was called on by the administration as
to the best mode Of prosecuting the
war with Mexico. In view of the EN-.
barrassments which surrounded Gen.
Scot, and the Importance Of the oper.
ations in which he was engaged, Gen.
Taylor recommended that portion of
his own command be sent to reinforce
the southern column. For the good of
his country, he sacrificed his long de.
ferred hope oi advance at the moment
o: its ful6lment, and doomed himself to
the worst punishment of a soldier-in-
activity on line Of defence. For the
good Of his country, all personal ambi.
lion and rivalry were forgotten-he
gave his vest also to the man who had
taken his coat, and left him exposed to
the storms Of Buena VISTA"

Ex-President Van Buren's Letter.

In anuther column of to-day's paper will be
found letter from this truly great Statesman
We hope our readers will give it an attentive Pc
rusal What a vast difference is there between the
feelings and language of Mr.. Van Buren and those
expressed by Messrs Webster and Corwi2.-
While they denounce the war as unjust, uncaed
for, and Unconstitutional, Mr.. Van Buren, says
"The existence of the war has received the official
sanction of every department Of the government
which is required by the constitution; and it is due
to the future fame as well as the present prosper
ty Of this great nation, that it be triAnphantiy
sustained" Mr. Corwin said in his anti.war
speech in the U. S. Senate, last winter 81 am not
willing to scourge Mexico thus; and the only
means left me is to say to the commander-n
call home youi army ,OiA feed and clothe it no
longe!" Such is the language of that great pro-
mugator Of toryism-T Thomas Corwin. In CON-
trast to this hear Mr.. Van Buren. He's says: "The
war cannot now be concluded with honor, unless
we receive from Mexico just indemnify for the
past, aud reasonable security for the future.':-
While Mr.. Corwin and his satellites would starve
yes, srARvE is the word--our soldiery, Mr..
Van Buren, is in favor of trumphantly sustain.
ing the war, and consequently our brave soldiers.

I'VE, in turn, can warn our readers to beware of
"worthless trash" from New York, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia. New York
Bank paper, of which our readers know but little,
is circulating in large quantities IN this section
Where is that "home currency" that the Wings
promised should drive out all foreign bank paper!
