MORE OF THE HARMONIOUS PARrY."-
The Corwin branch of the harmonious whig
party, is abusing Gen. Taylor and his friends
sif they were pickpockets. The Corwin or
gans in Ohio denounce the idea of running
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency in the most
unmeasufed lang uage. The Hamilton News;
in speaking of the attempt, as he calls it, to
force Gen. Taylor upon the Wig party, holds
the following language -" The CITY, about
Taylors great popularity is all CANNON; and
they who lend their voices to swell it, will
bitterly regret their folly. if they love their
country" This is the language OF one of the
organs of Whiggery in the great State of Ohio
The Federalists are getting into pretty snarl
about Cen Taylor; and the fun of the thing
is that they are doing SO without really know
ing what his politics ares

LATER FROM MEXICO.

By to-day's Thursday Southern mail we
have New Orleans dates up to the 4th inst
The steamer Fashion, Capt. Ivey. had arrived
on the Sd from Vera Cruz, which place she
left on the 3Oth May By this arrival, we
have dates from Jalapa up to the Goth, May.
Gen. Scott was to leave Jalapa on that day
with the remainder OF the army for Puebla,
where he was expected to arrive on the 4th of
June. The Picayune learns by this arrival
that the Mexcans were fortifying the pass at
Rio Frio, between Puebla and the City of
Mexico.
1t was generally supposed that Gen. Scott
would not proceed beyond Puebla until he was
reinforced.
A rumor had reached New Orleans to the
effect that Herrera had been elected President
of Mexico; but the Picayune says that it is
not traceable to any reliable source.
The Vera Cruz American Eagle, of the 29th
May, says that Col Sewers, who left Vera
Cruz on the 22d, as bearer of dispatches to
Gen. Scott, escorted by 1t. Mcdonald and five
men, has been, together with the whole escort
brutality murdered by the Mexican banditti
who nfest the road between Vera Cruz and
Jalapa. This atrocous act was committed al
a point near the National Bridge. The bodies
were found stripped and most brutality mutila.
ted We trust that if our boys do ever fall r
with these wretches they will make an exam
pie of them.
SANTA ANNA.-The N. o La Patria e
Spanish paper,) says that it has letters viz
Tampico from the city of Mexico, up to the
21st May That Santa Anna entered the cap
i,al on the 10Th May, but that his reception
was anything but fattering. lie was met by
immense crowds Of the mob, who offered hin
every species Of insult. They upbraideI hin
with the many defeats which he has sustained
since the war commenced. Indeed, it was on
ly through the influence of some of his friends
that he was enabled to escape with his life
La Palria thinks that he will attempt 10 create
another revolution. Gen. Valencia was chief
in command of the army at last dates.

SOUTHWESTERN C1r4Es-Forty years ago,
Cincinnati was village, containing but a
few hundred people; now it contains popu-
lation Of nearly one hundred thousand. AT
the beginning of the present century, New
Orleans contained population of 9,OOO now
it is the third city in the Union in point OF
size. In 1920 St. Louis contained short of
5000, and it now numbers for its population,
nearly $4,000 inhabitants.

HE BEAUTY OF FREE TRADE.-Never,
perhaps has the "excelling beauty" of free
trade been more conspicuousIy exemplifed
than during the past twelve or eighteen months.
We OF this favoured land can form no idea of
the amount of suffering and distress which at
this moment pervades the densely populated
portions of the Eastern Hemisphere; and may
heaven grant that we may always remain e.
qually practically ignorant! But suppose
the powers that be in Great Britain had held
on to the protective policy, which has been
the distinguishing feature Of that country for
centuries past, how much more horrible and
distressing would the stale of her starving peo-
pie be at this moment than it even is. Sup
pose England now, as formerly. told her star
wing people, You must pay an enormous duty
upon every bushel of wheat and corn, and ev-
cry barrel of -four imported from America or
any other country, before we will permit you
to use it, what would be the consequence
Why of course it would produce incalculable
misery, but then it would enable the produ-
GERS OF bread stuffs in that country to obtain
eXorbltant prices for the product of their lands,
and thus enrich them al the expense of all OH
er classes. The benign influence of free trade,
however, has broken down the barriers, and
now the products of our own happy cline are
flowing into England in copious streams The
result is alike beneicent to Great Britain and
America. The matchIess wealth of our virgin
soil is capable of producing vast surplus oil
all the necessaries of life, which only require
market in order to make the tilers of the
soil the wealthest and most independent class
of people on the face of the globe. Free trade
will give them this market 1t has already
done so. And as its benign doctrines are bat
ter understood and appreciated, the demand
for the products of the farmers of America
will rapidly increase. For years to come, A
merica must and will continue TO supply thu
deficiencies OF Europe. The richness of GU
soiI-the cheapness of our lands, and TIT
smailness OF our taxes, must enable us to pro
duce much cheaper than in most parts of Eu
rope. The consequence is, that we can under
| sell them in their own markets

Sands arsop1riIu.-Thousands of persons
are the heirs of scrofuia they come into the world
with the taint in their blood, which, by the time
they reach maturity, deveopes itself in some form
or other. A such persons should keep stock OF
this preparation by them, if at distace from any
town or city where 1t may be readily procured-
Nor should they wait for the disease to show itself
in ulcers or eruptioris but should keep IT down hy
frequent resort to his unfealed antiseptc. The
seeds Of scrofula, though hereditary in the blood,
will not germinate while that fluid is under the in
6uence Of this powerful detergent which. if admin
istered at intervals, will keep down the hereditary
tendency through life. As '-prevenslon Is better
than cure" we recommend all who have pre-
disposition hereditary other wise to ulcerous OF
erup.ive diseases, to go through couise Of this
medicine at least every Spring and Fall.

this was an act of aggression on the part OF

This would insure the work. Well, in ad
dltlon to this, we have no doubt, from the in
formation before US, that if the work was on
ly once commenced, the State of South Caro-

ally bound to do so. She has done so to 9TH
er roads in the State She has fund which
she applies to such uses. Again: we have
no doubt but if the road was once fairly COM
menced, that the Legislature of North Carolina
would permit the Wilmington and Raleigh R.

Charleston, and invest the proceeds in the new
