A number Of Locofoco journnls--the Her'
risburg Union among them--having affected %
doubt that Gen. TAYLOR is Wing, the U, s
Gazette, abiding TO such doubts says:
"We are satisfied tha, within forty days
Gen. Taylor has said TO gentleman about TO
leave him for the United States, anever mind
what they say;i telly you and you may tell them
lif you choose, ANA Wing; andif they have
any doubt Of il after that, tell them IAN A
CLAY WHIG.n
The New York Courier and Enquirer also
says on'the same subject:
sWe speak advisedly, when wo say, that in
a recent letter, after naming Mr.. Clay. Mr..
Criienden, and other distinguished Wings,
whom he (Gen. Taylor would much prefer
seeing in the Presidential chair he proceeds to
say, that he always has been soldier-nlways
the servant Of the people-and that he has on
oil occasions endangered to discharge the duties
.of every station in which he has found him
self. Ii would be affectalion, he adds, 10 talk
Of declining the Presidency if offered to him;
and that In whatever station il may please his
couHtfyneh hereafter " Piuco nih's ho "aA ~
ly promise that as heretofore, hewill endeavor
to do his duty and meet their reasonable expec
tations.
"a friend in Washington, who is well adj
vised Of what tax cs place, informs US that there
is in the War Department letter from Gen.
Taylor dated the day before the battle of Bue-
ma Vista, in which he rspieWs Me whole conduct
Of the administration toscards him in . way
which must have caused no little excitement
at the White House! Will the editor Of the
Union enlighten US on this subject? Will
he not induce the Secretary Of War to furnish
a copy for publication !"
1t 10 really amusing to see the way 10 which
the LocOfoco journals are praising up General
Scott, with the design Of throwing the old He
70 Of Buena Vista in the shade. Not word
dove hear now about the 'hasty plate Of SOUP,
But TAYLOR and Soorr are Wings and brothers
in arms; and the efforts of the Locofocos to
sever their friendship will prove signally abor-
tive. &

ANOTHER PREDICTION vERIFIEp.-h will NOS
be forgotten, we presume, that the Federalists
predicted that when Mr.. Walker advertised fol
the new loan of eighteen millions, il would
not be Neutrality-suspicious.. -
According to our recollection, it was the
Administration itself which predicted that the
loan would not betaken. When Mr.. Walker,
with Treasury on the verge of bankruptcy,
was looking around him for the means of car
rying on the Government, he addressed COM
munication to the chairman Of the Committee
of Ways and Means in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, in which he declared that athe loan
srould not be taken on terms that would be sane
toned by Congress, wsiess the duly on tea and
coffee should be inposed.n The duty on tea and
coffee was not imposed, but the loan Is taken,
and taken ON good terms, and the loco foco or
gans avail themselves of the occasion to sneer
at Wing predietions--the impudent rsscals -
Lomsriize Jour.
Mr. Prentice might have added: Nor will il
be forgotten that Mr.. Secretary Walkers .pri-
waite and fayorite brokers ID washington--cor
coran & Riggs-monopolised upwards Of six-
teen millions Of The loan, and BY the mode
given them to pay it in the Treasury mil
lions per monib--they are enabled to clear up
wards of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS without sdssncing one cent? =

What contrast between the conduct Of
the French in relation to their poor, and that
Of the English, towards the Irish. Through
his ministers, Louis Philippe has Purchased
not less than eighteen millions Of bushels OF
grain; and BY managing matters properly, no,
an individual French peasant has been known
to die Of starvation, while on the contrary, the
number Of deaths in ireland from the cause we're
set down fOurer FIVE weeks ago at $4,000, and
Il is Presumable that number has been incrsas-
ed to At least 50 or 10000. 'Tis heart rendnr
TO think Of.

Col. JEFFERSON DAvs-7He neat Governor.
We have heard it said that there is proba-
bility that this distinguished Missssippian
would accept the office ofGovernor iftendered
to him by the whole people. We can speak for
ourself and large number Of intelligent and
influential wings who have conversed with us
on the subject, and declare, that, if he will
accept the Office, so far as the wing party is
concerned, we will cheerfully tender him the
Office, as an evidence of our homage to and
admiration for his talents and public service.--
He is capable man, gentleman, and every
inch hero. History does not record more
iron energy than he eyinced at the battle Of
Buena Vista. With his heel shattered, and
enduring all the agony that decorating wound
among the delicate tendons and small bones
which are there located, he remained cool and
calm in his saddle, guarding the destinies of
ssNem GLORIOUS boys,n and in greatmeasurec con-
tributed to the glory of the day. Such man
should have no opposition; but should be by
reclamation elected Governor Of the State if
he viii accept the Office.
Z Wswrote the above early in the week since
then we have heard Col. Davis spoken Of in
connection with the vacancy occasioned in
the Senate Of the United States by the death
Mr.. speight. No appointment could be more
appropriate or more deserved than that Of s.Jeff
Dayis'' to the station. 1t IL due him; and
Mississippi owes it to herself to sec that he
should have il. She can thus efIectually vim
dictate him from some strange overnight which
the people every wherehave clearly discerned,
and are determined 70 mend, so far as they
have honor to bestow.-Southron.

VIRGINIA ELECTION TO the best of our in-
formation the Wings have elected six Repre-

One Of these, Dromgoole, has since died, and
there is but little doubt that Wing will be

twenty, and he was the strongest Loco in his
District. In.the Legislature, the Locos have a
majority of ten in the Senate, and the Wings
ten in the House. f
