per 10 the glorious news received from the seat
Of war. 1t is such ,s to make the pulse Of every

900 inhabitants. and strongly fortified by IN ar.
my of 20 or 10000 men, Gen. Shields says. did
not much exceed 5000 soldiers. The triumph
Of our army. with such odls against it, must ex.

TAYLOR MEETING IN ONO A popular meet.

mated General Taylor for the Presidency. The
domination was made unanimously and with en-
thusiasm. The Portsmouth Clipper says:
The meeting was unusually large, and eompo.
seL of citizens without distinction OF party. The
proceedings were transacted with great unsnimi.
ty, and the people seemed eheerfully disposed to
reward the soldier of three wars, aud the victor
Of some ofthe hardest fought battles recorded on
the pages OF history, with the highest honors in
their gift. This is as it should be; mankind
ought to reward their benefaetors. He who has
stsked his life in the honr Of danger, in the de.
fence Of his eoun,rys honor, ought 10 receive the
highest rewards Of that country. The election Of
General Zachary Taylor to the next Presidency
will not only give assurance that the people are
still warmly attached TO their country. and love
its defenders, hut it disproves the assertion too
frequently made by the enemies Of free govern.
ments, that "Republics are always ungrstsful."
