York reverse had not occurred, would have been
prominent in the field, and is still the favorite Of
many; while quietly at Lindenwad, sits the states
man of the party, who will probably never again join
the political melee, but might prove more available
in stric! party trial, than many men whose names
are frequently heard in the present connection. In
the general confusion apprehension PREVAILS that
the election will to the House Of Representa-
tives-a result greatly to be depored-and hence the
popular impulse which chooses to adjourn the strcs
Of parties and the struggles Of their leaders, while the
county takes breath under the administration Of an
INDEPENDENT PREsIDENr.
2. A circumstance that may lead to the election
Of General Taylor, by sort of reclamation, is
the fact that the pride Of the respective parties
would thus be saved--neithcr authorized 10 claim
a triumph, and neither suffering the ignominy Of
defeat. A long intimacy between Mr.. Clay and
General Taylor, reconciles the Wings to the poll
tical orthodoxy Of the latter, although Gen. Tay-
lor is said not to have voted for many years while
Mr.. Polk, who is and has been, as we are autho-
ritatively informed, entirely free from any inte-
tion or wish for second term Of service, may still
be gratied 10 yield his seat to the successful Con
eral of the Mexican war-closcly identified as that
war is with the success Of his administration.
8. The above considerations are subordinate, how.
ever, to the principles which are involved In every
Presidential Canvass. The country has been divid-
ed for fifteen years upon most exciting topics and il
Gen. Taylor, Immediately upon his inauguration as
President, was constrained to adopt either extreme,
the consequences might be fatal to the Of his
administration. Il so happens, however, that the
results OF Mexican hostitics, will remove many Of
those points Of cellision-at least for few years.

By this time, we have no doubt, the reader has
come to the conclusion we have arrived at namely,
that the above letter with the. printed signature el
General Taylor to il is FORGERY.
For ourselves, we do not hesitate to pronounce il
forgery, a base, contemplate Jorgry. Not that
J ames w. Taylor is the forger. We do not say
that.-though he is vain man. He is the victim
Of wicked deception if he is not the decever him
self He is person Of no influence in Cincinnati
and utterly unknown to Gen. Taylor.
There is nothing like Gen. Taylor in this silly
letter The whole world win pronounce it coun.
terfet at once, because the whole world knows the
style Of the Hero Of Buena Vista.
Compare it with the following genuine letter Of
the old Thundsrer from the New Orleans Bulletin

sentiments of an out aud ON. Whig writing to bro

A Novel Cnse in Court.

At the last October term Of the Nc
Cracken circuit court, novel case in the
history Jurisprudence came on to be
tried 1t was all action on the case
brought by son.in.law. against father
in-law for fraud in concealing from the
son-in-law, the fact that the young lady
was afflicted with ulcers and running
sores, the effects of white swelling, and
forfalse representations said 10 have been
made by the father.in-law before mar
riage, relative to the young lady's lame
ness. The counsel in defence demured
to the declaration. and, in support of the
demurrer, assumed the position that such
an action was against the policy of our
law. and the marriage relations forbid
such an inquiry as must necessarily en-
sue, If the case was tried on its merits.
The learned judge presiding suggested
to defending counsel that the case was
entirely new in American Jurisprudence
aud he would prefer the case should 60
before the jury, and the question presen-
ted for tho judgment oflhe court on de-
murer could be determined, as well in ar
rest of judgment lift should be rendered.
Upon the suggestion of the court, the
demurrer was Withdrawn. plea of not
guilty was filed and an issue joined to
the country. After the evidence was all
heard and the arguments of the counsel,
the jury without moments deliberation,
brought in verdict for the defendant
