THE TRIBUNE's QUESTIONS.

The New York Tribune, Of late date. re-
quests the Wing journals favorable TO the cleo
ton of General Taylor 10 the Presidency. 10
answer The following queries. The request Of
The Tribune is so reasonable, we cannot, so
far as we are concerned, refrain from comply
ing with it:
!. ais 1t your understanding and purpose that
there shall be a Wing National Convention, some
time within the year ensuing, for the nomination
of Wing candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent ?"
II is.
2. "Will you favor or discourage the calling Of
such Convention by the Wing members of The
Congress soon to assemble"
We shall favor il.
8. "Suppose Gen Taylor should be induced or
constrained to declare himself opposed to the prin-
ciple Of the Wilmot Proviso; would YOU continue
to support him Ditto of Protection 10 Home In
dustry, and liberal system of National Improve
ment of Rivers and Harborsn
We are in favor Of the election of General
Taylor. because we know he, is Wing 10 the
core, on all these questions; hut our nomina
ton Of the old Hero is subject to the decision
of the Wing National Convention.
q. In case no Wing National Convention shall
be held; by what means is it to be settled and de-
clared that Gen. Taylor is the choice of the Wing
psrty'"
We leave this question to be settled by the
Wing members Of the coming Congress.
S. "What if respectable portion of our friends
should insist that he is NOT, and that supposing
new candidate is to be taken up, he oueht to be,
must be, Northern Statesman what are we to
doi"
Do as majority of the Wings shall decide.
6. "What will be the probable effect Of running
Gen. Taylor pel-meli with all the bands of party
organization relaxed, or rather, cast to the winds,
on the growth and expansion of the Liberty Par
ty,' so called" @a&.e
We think the probable effect will be- TO elect
General Taylor. by so large majority, as to
absorb the Liberty Party.
7. "And where will the Wing party be, not
alone in 4s but afterward if that party shall thus
be enabled to poll 40 1000 votes in this State, 90 600
each in Ohio and Massachusetts, 10000 in Yer
mont, &c. SIC. "'
In a majority, if all these votes are taken
from the Democratic party.
May we moi hope tina, our answers are pre-
cisely the same as The Tribune itself is ready
TO give to its own questions? We should be
pleased 10 hear whether the Tribune considers
our replies TO be orthodox Whiggery or not.

DESPATCH No. 8.

The Mexican army numbered $4,000 men.
The daily national Whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1849, 1847-08-14

Spent day in search OF my captain, (who
| learned had subsequently, returned 10 New
Orleans,) and discovered that he had now gone
10 Mexico as volunteer 10 serve during the
war; so | could get no more aftidavits from
him. Mr. Edwards directs in such cases, that
Z" the Colonel's certificate must be had" &C.
cordingly called upon my Colonel for his GER
tifcate, and laid my case before him. He ex-
pressed much regret at my situation, but de-
cined to give Inc one, declaring that he did
not know me, and did not believe he could re-
cognize fifty privates CT his regiment"
Thus, after three months correspondence, -
making out my papers half a dozen times, and
spending $l2, in paying Lawyers, Clerks
Notaries, seals, atfidavits, postage, Sc, and
spending al least two weeks of my time to OBJ
tain FORTY acres Of land, I was perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Edwards New Rules
and his peculiar system of protecting the SOL
der from the willy Spectators.
| now resolved, in good earnest. to sell nv
claim and give up the pleasing idea of ever
becoming land holder Judge my surprise |!
on inquiry, the Spectators would only give
me two dollars in adrance, with promise Of
three dollars more, if they ever got the war.
RAM, which they declared was exceedingly
doubtful, as Mr.. Edwards had Just issued one
moreW New Rule" and was determined 10
stand by the poor soldier, and keep their claims
safe in his opn hands, until The vomiio should
kill off all these terrible land Spectators, that
haunt his disiempered Imagination; as good
luck would have it, | fortunately fell in with
the land Spectator from Washington CITY,
(Who is said TO be interested with, or has
partner moi one hundred miles from the Pen
sion Oflice,) who generously gave me three
dollars in cash for my claim, and is to give me
five dollars more when he gets my warrant.
when he will get it, and how he will have i,
legally transferred, remains TO be seen.
The foregoing, is simple statement of facts,
precisely as they occurred. and is but one case
of some thousands, similar in nearly every
particular.
The most skeptical admirer Of the mupi6
cence Of our Government. in making such a
liberal appropriation 10 the gallant volunteers
of LOUISIANA, must admit that the dispensation
thereof, under the supervision Of J. l.. Ed.
wards, Commissioner OF Pensions, affords a
rich specimen of the economy, promp,ude
and good management of that fnnctionary, in
the interests Of the "poor soldier, -
and in carrying QUITO the letter-the true
intent and meaning of the law.

the Missions are under the charge Of the Episco.
pal Church Missionary and the Wesleyans. 10
South Africa, they are Of the Independent Lon.
don Missionary and the Wesleyans. In Libe.
ria, the majority Of Missionaries are American
Methodists.
In America, the Missionaries 20 the Indiar
Tribes are all American-ehiehy under the care
Of the American Board.
10 review Of the facts stated above, il appear
that the chief and most successful Of the Protes
tant Missions have been in the West Indies, In
dia, Ceylon, Burmah, among the Karens, Sand
wich Islands, New Zealand, Georgian islands
South Africa, and Sierra Leone. In the Island
of Jamaica, the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand
and Hiudosian, the success Of Missions has GER
tainly been equal to and beyond any enterprise
conducted by the same number ofpersons, in any
form OF civilization.
The number Of persons employed, at one time
is 3,4e9. The result is Sc eommunicanIs and
Sc scholars to each person engaged in the busi.
ness Of Evangelism. Is the result in Christian
countries themselves equal to than IL it be, il
certainly does not very greatly exceed it. Un.
less the "Signs Of the Times" are very incor-
recily read or interpreted, the greatest and most
enlightened Paganism of the world-that Of Hin
dosian-ls rapidly giving away, before the dou-
bic attack of Science and Christianity. 1t must
be faint heart-a sceptcal intelect-an unpro-
gressive spirit, which sees nothing in the steady
advance Of Missions and the vet more rapid
movement Of Governments and Canquests over
Pagan Lands, to foreshadow the speedy and per.
manent triumph of Christianity, both in name
and substance, over the old and crumbling civil
lzations Of the world.
For any purpose of progress, both Paganism
and Mahomedanism have long ceased TO exist.
The moment the nation which sustained them
ceased to be in the advance of Physical Ciriliza-
tion, they ceased to advance in anything. They
had nothing Spiritual TO commend. They are
now crumbng out of existence, like the stones
Of an ancient wall, from which the mortar has
dropped away, and on which the water is con-
stantly dropping.
Men may prepare, before another generation
has passed away, TO see wonderful things. The
New Civilization will bloom in fresh glory ovel
the wasted fields. The Spiritual will take it:
place in the advance Of the new Order, and 6
sublime and triumphant Harmony govern Chris
tan civilization.

To the Masonic Fraternity, to whom no sus.

sion say, Brother Thomas L. Hamer was Roy
al Arch Mason. For years he has been devoted
TO the principles which were cherished by a
Washington, Lafayette, Montgomery, Warren
and Jackson. Amid all the prosecutions through
which the order has passed, he stood the firm,
unfinching and able advocate of brotherly love,
reliefand truth. While we drop the sympathet-
ic tear to his memory, let US throw over his i'm.
perfections the broad mantle Of Mason's chari.
~, and although we shall not be permitted us the
last act Of affection, to cast the sprg of cassa in
10 his grave, as an emblem Of our belief Of the
immortality Of the soul, let us indulge the hope
that he shall "have a part in the first resurec.
iion." inasmuch as he embraced the religion oil
the Son Of God, while he labcrnaced here on
earth: To all that remains of Brother Hamer
we bid heart warm, fond farewell; "but in
Heaven we hope to greet him where no farewell
tears are she'd" Peace to his ashes and rest to
his soul.
