" ASKING TON, Au


The last letter ofGen Taylor Just learn tina. there
is still later extan) is matter of surprise and
disappointment TO every one, and eciis strange COM
ments. One man said il was like man willing TO
accept cerkship and promising TO learn how to read
aud write afterwards or at least to become Judge
of good writing and elUcution Observation-Disclosures is
of opinion that Gen. Taylor wrote the letter in order
not to be candidate because he prefers Henry Clay.
Others there re who still doubt its genuineness while
the leaders of parties talk and act if they had just
been relieved from a very great responsibility Gen.
Taylor, though universally beloved and respected for
his brilliant military qualities, never strong "in
the district" and his claims confcted with 80 many
previous arrangements, that the probability of his
election did not extrcae the party from very
rious embarrassmenis. He was almost much dread
ed he was caressed, and The lntelligencer with a
very significant laconism, published his last letter
merely with the remark, that ''ikis is undoubtedly 4
genuine letter of Gen. Taylor" Scott and Clay are
very seriously talked offor the Presidency by the
Wings; but the popularity Of tie chivalrous Clay
seems to triumph over his competitor, and General
Scott WILL in all probability be obliged to wait another
turn.
The National Era, the central Abolition paper pub
liShed In the District has IN It's number OF Saturday
last, very curious article on the Mexican war, from
which regret have not enough TO furnish you
with extracts But it comes out in favor of the
conquest ofal Mexico in spite of the Wilmo proviso,
and proves that whichever party opposes the war; goes
against the feeling Of the country and will be over
whelmed If this be, as ii is most likely, the settled
opinion of all the moderate aboitionsts 1t will give
10 the next political canvass new aspect unless
peace be previously established, and this IS IN fact,
the why opposition prints, with the Ma
tional Integencer at their head really keen
sighted as to see peace coming-that same peace
which is now so much needed by Mexico, and which
it would be folly for Santa Anna to reject third time

New Call for Troops.

In reference to the call for troops, the Union
of the 2Sh has the following
The War Department has Just called for fire nee
regiments, exclusive of the regiment from Ohio, which
is already reported TO be raised aud is now IN pro-
gress of being mustered into the public SERVICE and
will in few days be en- route for Vera Cruz q
The five regiments now called for are to be drawn
from the following States: Two regiments from Ken
lucky. two from Tennessee, and one from Indiana.
The regiments from Kentucky to rendezvous
at Louisville, and the other at Smithland at the
mouth of the Cumberland river
The regiments from Tennessee are to rendezvous
one at Nashville, and the other at Memphis
The Indiana regiment is to rendezvous at such con-
venient point the river Ohio the Governor of
that State may designate.
These five regiments are expected to be rapidly
raised, and promptly placed in the public service.
Offers have already been made, which induced the
Executive to designate these States, and to make the
necessary arrangements for embodying these troops
without delay.
The Administration have determined to do their du-
ty whether for peace or for war They have offered
the olive branch. As il may be declined, they have
deemed it their duty to prepare for vigorous prose-
cution of the war; and to fill up the ranks of the
NV TO the proper Standard as they have been partial
ly thinned by disease and death. Let the enemy be
assured that they have deal with administration
which will not shrink from the most energetic execu
ton Of lis duties.
The presence of Paroles notknown here when
the six regiments were called INTO service; but that
movement may be productive of no serims conse-
ouences, vet 1t will only increase vigilance. AT
all events the President is determined prepare for
every contingency and to vindicate the rights and
honor of his country against every eueny--to meet
war as well as to accept of peace
We are happy to learn that, with view to avoid
the danger of contagcn during the prevalence of yell
low.fever at New Orleans, orders have been given to
have the means of transportation ready at Baton
Rouge, Natchez, or some other healthy point for all

Death of siIas wright.

We have no heart to speak Of this sore DISPENSE
ton of Providence. We recognize in it the great
TRUTH that Death visits alike the cottage Of the hum
Bile and the palace Of the great. BY his shaft has
fallen, in this instance one who was truly enobled
among men. In the very prime of his manhood, =
the maturity of his mind-thc vigor of his intellect
and the fulness Of his fame,-he has suddenly gone
down to the grave, over which nation viii sorrow
the more intensely, as had yearned TO retain, that
il might be honored in him, whilst it should walk by
the light of his great talents and profound wisdom.
He needs no eulogy. life, public and private,
whose every act sprang froma virtue and whose long
and undertaking has been continually marked
by uPrghtness and integrIty,-aud witial personal
character Of such purity, that even calumny never
has breathed upon it,-these constitute euogy far
greater than the most gifted Of his friends could
pronounce. The simple annunciaiion that SILAs
WRIGHT IS NO MORE will Of Itself call forth the
grief of nation for his loss,-the tribute of
ton to his worth.-Cin Enq.

CANDIDATE.-Gen. TAYLOR has been questioned
all sides, aud We have read hrs answers carefully
The Philadelphia wings wrote to him not 10 answer
their letter, but tile New Jersey wings called out
reply 70 their nomination. He told them plainly
enough that he did not thank them for giving him n
wing nOninaiion-that he would not consent Ia be
the wing candidate. The NatyIsls nominated him,
and lie wrote to them that lac would not accept party
nomination, make any party pledges A Louisiana
democrat tried to extract On opinion from him, bui lie
said he had formed none, and should not attempt To
do So until elected President neutral editor wrote,
denouncing parties, and urging their dissolution and
the General answered that :" thems his sentiments"
On the strength of this, the wings say be Is good
wing: the naivsis that he is just the man they want,
the neu,rals that every body ought 10 support hn,
because he has no opinions and the democrats that
they prefer principles and will wait until they
know who will best represent their principles IN lie
canvass before they decide for whom to sote.-SL

0EFThe Ohio Safe Journal thus whistles General
Taylor down the wind. The wings have made him
act the fool, and now they will leave him in the lurch
He ought to have had sense than have suffer
ed himself to be humbugged by them:
g 1t is understood that Gen. Taylor will make
visit to the States before long; and he will then in
all probability avail himself of opportunities which
his duties in the camp forbid him, of investigating
questions pertaining to civil pocy--and either give
full and frank declaration of the policy by which he
would be guided; else, in view TO the interminable
labarynths Of difficulty which surround questions of
that sort, and the time, labor and investigation requi
site for forming opinion them which would be
satisfactory to HIMSELF all pretenson to civil
promotion.
This latter, free 10 say, we should regard
as the part of wisdom on his part. The quailfico-
tons for craftsmanship not to be acquired in
day, month, or year. They only be attained
through long years Of patient application We appre
bend that Gen. Taylor has passed the period of life
for entering upon that investigation. good soldier
and true patriot he mas shown himself to be- 1t were
better for him. in view Of the subject to repose
upon his aurels than tarnish them by appearing in
character always difficult TO sustain, and for which
neither habit nor education have qualified him. We
do not believe that he would be likely under the cir
cumstances, to add anything in the cabinet, TO the
hOnOrs he has won in the field"

FORE The Danville Hendricks Co., Advertiser, of

follows:
GEN. TAYLoR-THE PRESIDENCY. Indiana
Journal says there is thing in the demonstrations
IN favor of Gen. Taylor which 1t does not like, and
that is-that all the Tyler Guard with Talmadge, the
chief traitor, at their head be going for him.
There is another thing in them that ce do not like
and II is, that large portion of the southern demo-
crazy, with John c. Calhoun, the chief of HuiferS
at their head, seem to be going for him."
4" The time has passed, when brilliant victories
and signal military achievements, were considered
the only requisite qualifications in candidate for the
high and responsible duties of President of the Uni
ted States and until it Is known that Gen Taylor Is
orthodox the great fundamental doctrines Of the
wing party, we cannot support him. This done-and
1t shall be the voice of the wings 10 run him-we will
give him our cordial support. Notwithstanding it
would be more in keeping with our feelings (other
things being equa) to have the next President from
