Times THAT Mr.. OwEN Is IN FAVOR Or
Mr.. Owen is in favor of receiving eight dollars
a day as member Of Congress and three dollars
a day as one of "the Regents of the Smithson-
ian Institute. He is decidedly in favor of Civ
ing his brother David $4,000 per annum as
principal of the Geological Survey, and his
brother Richard Sll00 per annum as Captain
in the army He is also in favor of giving his
late body servant, B. c. Macy, $1,000 per an
mum as an assistant in the Geological Survey.
Mr.. Owen is also fond of talking long and loud
about Oregon, Texas, and the Smithsonian be-
quest, but seldom pays any attention to those
things which directly interesthis own district.
THINGS THAT Mn. OWEN Is OPPOSED To.-Mr.
o. is Supposed to and voted against proposition
to purchase out the interest of the Stockhold-
ers in the Louisville canal and render it free of
toll. Mr.. Owen is opposed to the improvement
of the navigation of the Ohio river, although
his district extends for nearly two hundred
miles along that stream. Mr.. Owens opposi-
ton to the improvement of the Ohio is mani
fest not only from his voting against the propo-
sition to purchase the canal and render it free,
but in the fact that he voted at the session before
the last against the River and Harbor bill which
appropriated $50, 900 to the improvement of the
Ohio above Louisville, and $4,000 to be APP
piled to the Ohio below Louisville, and to the
Mississippi, Missouri, and Arkansas. And af-
ter the River and Harbor Bill had passed in
spite ofMr. Owens opposition TO it and was
vetoed by the Presidant, he voted to sustain the
veto. Although Mr.. Owen is in favor of pay
ing his brother Dick well for his services in the
presentwar, he was opposed to and votedagainst
granting pension to those of our seamen who
were wounded on private armed vessels during
the last war; friend at our elbow suggests that
Mr., Owens vote would have been different had
these seamen been British instead of American
Mr.. Owen, during the last Presidential canvass,
attempted to make the German population of
his district believe that the Wings were oppos-
ed to allowing foreigners to hold office, but if
we judge from his own practice he is opposed
to allowing any person in this neck of the
woods to hold office unless they are native Brit
ish. Mr.. Owen is the peculiar friend of the
Germans and speaks their language with iuen-
cy but what German has received an Office at
his hands. He will doubtless attend to them
when all his own family and countrymen are
supplied. No man carries out the doctrine that
''the spoils belong to the victors7 more fully
than does Mr.. Owen. He is now the victor
and his own family and countrymen about
Harmony understand to whom belong the spoils;
will not the people sanction his distribution of
them? If they do not we warn them that Mr..
Owen win suspect them of Native American
ism.

RESIGNATION OF SANTA ANNA!-This event
did take place, after fashion, on May 18TH
On that date, the Mexican General wrote to the
Minister of War, that he heard with regret that
his approach to the capital. at the head Of an
armed force, gave dissatisfaction to the citizens,
from the apprehension that he intended to de-
fend the city lrithin the rails. In consequence
of this he had suspended his march; but even
before doing so he had resolved to submit the
mode of defending the capital to general coun-
Gil. In the storm of dissatisfaction and abuse
which prevailed, he felt it due to his honor and
position to make known his programme, parti-
cularly two points:
First, to carry ON the war on the basis before
indicated; and secondly. TO consider the saliva
tion of the capital as indispensable. Being de-
| termined not to admit any compromise on eth
er of these points, communicate the same to
your Excellency that you may impart the same
TO his Excellency, the President, and should be
decide against me you will at once tender my
resignation as commander-in-chief and first
magistrate of the Republic, and forward my
passports TO retire to wherever may be most con-
venient for me.
Sandoval, the Misister at War, writes back
that he had submitted the terms to the Presi-
dent substitute, who was perfectly satisfied that
they were ''all right" and that Santa Anna
might ego ahead" He has but a short time to
go on, however, for the election was deter
mined, so far as the States could do it, on the
/ 18th ult When the returns are all made 10
the Council of Government, should any one OF
the candidates have majority of votes, the
affair, says the PicGyune, is over-there is nc
room for management or Influence" But
in case no one should have clear majority OF
the votes of the States, Congress will elect be-
tween the two highest candidates. There is
little likelihood that Santa Anna will be one OF
! these.

GES. T.YLoR.-A letter froma distinguish
ed citizen in the interior of Virginia TO the ed
itor of the New Orleans Bulletin, dated lst
June SAYS
an this State, at least in this part of the
State, there is but one opinion in regard to the
Presidency, and that is, that Old Rough and
Ready will and ought to be the man. This
opinion appears to pervade all classes and all
parties a gentleman of this county, who has
always been an uncompromising and very &C
tive Democrat, told me, few days since, that
l,e saw, with regret, that the current was so
strong in favor Of Taylor. that no human exer-
ton could avert it--that everybody appeared to
b. in his favor-that he would not vote at all,
and would not attempt TO oppose the popular
feeling, as it would be a hopeless task.

C~S-The State Sentinel boasts as follows Of
the company of Volunteers lately raised in In
dianapolis:
The company numbered ninety four men;
and we learn, that just previous to their depar-
ture, vote was taken TO test the politics of
each. The result was as follows: NINETY
TWO DEMOCRATS and TWO WHIGS."
And we learn from gentleman just from
old Fort Clark, that this democratic company,
in the true spirit of its party, had quarrelled
most disgracefully about the distribution of the
Offices, and that about one half of the number
had gone home because they did not succeed in
the scramble. This is just as we should have
expecteda company to act which upon the eve
of marching against its country senemies could
thus grossly insult the minority off its members
by taking political vote.
We understand also that the places of these
Office seeking democrats were filled up on the
spot--we take it for granted by Wings.
