my old papers find the following paragraph.
written prior TO the battle of Monterey: IL had

my seat, when venerable old gentleman en-

that sought at once to know his name, which
proved, to my surprise and delight to be Gen.
George Washington Being compelled to
leave, and never expecting to enjoy an oppor-
tunity Of seeing the patriot sage Of Mount Yer
non again, and determined to obtain his advice
before left, eagerly asked him for whom
should cast my vote in l848. My predlec
ton induced me TO believe that he would at
once reply Henry Clay But what was my
surprise and delight no one can imagine, when
ne responded in the following words mot on

General Zachary Taylor, and he will be elect

This dream occurred, and was written off
Immediately after its occurrence, prior to the
battle OF Monterey. And since the great cur

Fashions FOR MAr.--The fashions are at pre-.
sent extremely eegant-dresses Of richest taffetas
(or gace silks,) trimmed with rich passementerie d
more simply worn. When the materials are bro.
ches, capes or pelerines are again brought in, and
trimmed to correspond with dress; dark bright coli
ors are more in vogue than clearer shades. For
morning bonnets fine plain or fancy straw is prefer
red; lined with colored grapes, and trimmed with
the magnificent ribbons of the season, they make 4
most becoming toilet.
Full dress bonnets are greatly trimmed with lace
or blonde In succeeding rows on the front; this
style, with an elegant flower or plume posed at the
side Is the prevailing mode. Cachemeres des hides
are this month very frequently worn, to be exchang
ed when the weather becomes milder for mantelets
ofvarious forms; many Of which promise to be very
graceful, and to be much adopted by our English Ia
dies.

Direct Iares 1t is evident that the party
in power, finding that their tariff Of 1916 must
60 down, because Of its classifying their predic-
tons, are preparing the public mind for re-
sort to direct taxation. The last Democratic
Review advocates the new doctrine and pre-.
scribes i as the panacea Of all our ills. We
have no doubt, il will cure one evil-the spirit
Of foreign war which Mr.. Polk has fostered to
such frightful extent. Let him call on the
people to put their hands in their pockets to
pay for the Mexican war, and this war and all
other foreign wars will come 10 an end in dou-
ble-quick time.
