The National nelligencer OF this morning has an arti-
Gle signed "a Pennsylvania Whg,' the obvious intent
of which was to disseminate the false impression, that
because the last Legislature federal and John Banks
State treasurer the interest on her public debt is nou
paid the writer had desired to the facts he would
have informed his readers that Pennsylvania has paid the
interest on her public debt regularly during the last three
taxpayers is to Colonel James r. Snowden, by whose
energetic and eloquent appeals the said payment was re-
sumed after brief cessation When he left the treasury
there in the regular course of collection the very
sum Of money with which Mr. Banks pays the August
interest The only agency OF the latter was in paying the
money To attribute this to the wing legislature, or the
State treasurer only TO rob others OF the credit due
The federal Legislature OF last year passed act in rea
ton to the increase of the revenue, proposed any
mode of rendering the taxes available. Their
time consumed in charterng monopoles OF various
kinds, and in passing bill by which the RUNAWAY SLAVE

Colonel BENTON.

| The wing papers are eagerly circulating paragraph
which represents the Missouri Senator as hostile TO tn
administration We understand, from the most respect
able authority, that there not the slightest foundation
for any such report Among other papers which seize,
upon this Misrepresentation was the National Wing O
this city, in which paper it was repubshed on the %,

We are happy to see the decided spirit in which Col
b. meets this unfounded assertion AT time when VIZ
are engaged in foreign war-when the republican adj
minstraon has not only to the enemy abroad
but to cope with the opposition at homewhen every
effort made to disgrace the President, to defeat the
objects of the war, and to substitute whig regime for the
republican system-when Mr.. Polk has complied with
all pledges and carried out the great principles of the
republican party and when would suppose that every
republican would rally around him, from sentiment OF
gratitude for the past well of confidence in his prn-
cplesit is to be hoped that the whole party will again
unite support of the administration against an unwa
veng and interchangeable opposition They counting
appears from this article upon Col B. But the colonel
abures their embraces. We trust that the same spirit OF
harmony and union will extend TO that small but talented
wing in the SOUTH that supported Mr.. Folks election
with so much enthusiasm. Let all feuds vanish Let
the party present an undivided front to the
universal wing party Away with the private grefs OF
politicians! Away with all these feelings, hastily con-
ceived, and improvdenty INDUCED, which would sepa-
rate any from the party to which he should natur-
ally belong. We scorn all such feelings. Never was
anything said of us by the Charleston Mercury, which
unjust and untrue than that had prosecuted
distinguished man in the south because we hated him.

The southern press is specializing upon the movements
of General Taylor. The New Orleans National learns
from conversation with an officer of the regular army
that
"The greatest disappointment prevails along the whole
linethat General Taylors proposed movement toward.
San Luis Potos has been countemanded Every soldier
and officer that be spared and great many that
not, leave for General SCOTS division 1t is
us, think with great pausiby, that with the
skeleton force the upper ne if General Taylor should
leave, either for the United States for Mexico it would
stampede from Saltio Matanoras, and that he
could do until fue thousand troops distributed
along the line make for his absence. So it thai
Old Zack has become, personally, the northern army"
The paper published the 9th August the fol-
lowing extract of letter from an officer of the army:
"Any specuations as to General Tayor's movements
you receive speculation only the old gentleman
rarely gossps Staff officers receive ORDERS from which they
infer; and their differences generally well founded
From such they travel abroad in all shapes and
casonaly stragge into type The General had ordered
900 ratons to be in depot Encarnacon We have
ceived ORDERS although the impression
prevail that all idea of forward is for the pres.
ent, abandoned"
Some of the wing papers undertake again to censure
the administration for keeping General Taylor in the
background which they attribute to envy and jealousy
of a successful general Will these faut-nders never
cease to abuse the administration without authority OF
foundation Suppose it should turn out that the General
himself had three months ago, advised that his line should
be defensive one, and that all the available troops
should be thrown into the other column of the army
what would they then say to their blunders'
We see several illusions made to Hays and his Texas
rangers The Austin Gazette of the latest date speaks
his marching into Mexico. We have doubt that an
instruction has been issued peremptory to send Hays to
Vera Cruz to assist General Scott in keeping open his
line of communication.
