We have declared that the election OF ul'
Bolts 10 Congress, with his peculiar oP'h'oa''
would be quoted as evidence o! lailerins .. ."e
South upon the Wilmot Proviso question ou'
readers have seen The views Of some oil Inc id''a
teal Northern papers, in amounting lie " Jug
v;c,ory in this district. We now lay before
Them evidence from Wing paper Of '"e 6"
treme Soulh, showing how the matter is resaiaeu
there The Apalachicola (Florida) Advertiser
renudiates Wing National Convention, aaVo-
cafes the election OF Gen. Taylor, upon Inc elounl
lba, he is ",he only STAKEHOLDER that the wings Oh
tho North will vote for" ard makes use OF the
following remarkable language
awe cannot safely rely upon all The Sonlherh
States rejecting Wimot Proviso candidate
when we have The evidence before US, 10 'he per
CON of ]. M. Bo.ls The candidate OF slave
State declining to pledge himself MOTTO Voie LOT
such person fol- The Presidency
Does no, This avowal fully justify what we
said in regard 10 The moral influence OF The cleo
ton of Mr.. Bolts under all The circumstances
The same Wing paper makes hit al the no.
nesly Of lis own associates, when il expresses a
OF those who ale wishing the success OF The wing
marty. moi so much for The good which VIII ae-
crue 10 The county as for The profit which VIII
thereby arise 10 them individually ia Inc shapeo o.
Gee may urge them 10 hedge h,m, Gen. layio'' y
who should be the PEOPLES CANDIDATE, around
with party lines, but we feel comlorIed by The as
surance that, with his powerful mind ana na'iVe
good sense, they will prove TO him, like Mexican
breas,works, fral as cobwebs."
We cannot, however, understand the force OIL
such reasoning, when The Editor himself, in ano'
Their part of his article, zeaously urges the elec'
ton of Gen. Taylor, "who is Wig by choice
but at The same time endeavors 10 nveigle The
Democrats into the support Of "the peoples can
didate." Is not this game still more improper,
than 10 fight fairly upon political issues, and lei
the people, ia selecting President, choose the
individual who truly represents their principles
We mistake The good sense and calm judgment
Of the people, il they de not compel the Wings
10 show their hands.
A letter in The N. o. Delta from Buena Vista
April %, says the Hon. Thos Corwin was burnt
in effiey by ia large and respectable convocallon
of the "boys," with very strong and unequivocal
signs Of condemnation. This is The Senator
whose Infamous speech, full OF sympathy ior
Mexico, was circulated through Virginia BY those
who are now The most noisy supporters OF Cen
Taylor, The hero Of This "atrocions war" inns
is. moreover, the same Corwin who is proposed to
be run as the Wing candidate for Vice President
upon Gen. Taylor's ticket. The Wings are
most consistent party!
The same lellcr pays compliment I" The VIII
ginia Regiment and TO the patriotic liberaiIty oil
the Virginia Legislature, which, upon The recon-
menda,ion OF The Governor, made al ample APP
preparation for its equipment. Il was in noble
contrast with the conduct of The Federal Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, which not only rejected
the vote of thanks to Gen. Taylor and his gal
liant army, but refused TO give dollar for the
equipment Of the Massachusetts volunteers
aThe roads are safe below Monterey. Gen.
Urea has left in some disgust. Trains 60 up and
down with escorts oil from sixty to seventy. The
Virginia regiment is al Camargo: they have, by
all accounts more clothing than any other resi-
menl in these paris. Their coats are curiosites.
Buttons, 10 The number OF seventy, give 10 the sol
der sort OF comic appearance; il looks as IL The
old chain armor was revived again. They are
clever sci of fellows, though somewhat discuntent-
cd as nil soldiers are at first, Marching with bis
,err,l i-.i ODD heavy hndpsdck ealing what one
can GET with fingers, carrying ones cl",hes 10 the
washerwoman's and washing them himself, and
all that. will soon become natural and easy. All |!
