LATER From THE CRY OF NEX;Co.-
We copy tho following from tho New Or
leans Picayune, of the ilh inst:
BY an arrival yesterday from Vera
Cruz, we havo received papers from tn
city of Mexico to the l0th of April
We find in them various matters of tenn
orary interest, bat one law, passed on the
Sih ult., is of general Importance. b.
this law all Meyicans capable of bearing
arms nre called into the survica of the
government. The various regulations as
to arring a national guard--tor such Is
the body contemplated by tho cal!--arc
givcn in tho paporS. bu. would be OF no
particular in.eros, here.
Senior ID. Angel Trims. late Governor
Of Chihuahua, was in the city Of Mexico
on tho OH ult., soliciting aid 10 drive hcc'i
tho "porfidous invadors." /, would scom
that his private fortune satftrel much
dilapidatioa in his preparations 70 fight
tho baltic Of Sacramento, aud h very
reasonably demands thar the Gonoral
Government should make good this loss.
rs we'll rs provide him with forces - re
sumo his former positions Chihuahun.
The manner in which the Americans
have conducted themselves since tho bat
tie Of Sacramento Cough, on the 2S.h of
February is reflected upon VERY sovora-
w. They are denounced as vanials and
call that sort of thing but we have be-
como so used to these donunciations that
we pay little regard to them.
We find several things in the papers
touching the preparation 10 receive '';he
INVADERS" but all the calculations are
prior to the battle of tho 18th u,.. where
by Mexican spocuiaiions were very much
deranged.
We find little sober matter Of facts be-
foro us, with which to detain our readers.

Gen. TAYLOR.

We see the following modeh extract
from letter of Gen. Taylor, to friend
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in relation
to his being candidate for the Presi
dency. 1t is certainly characterised
with modest sentiments which should
meet the appreciation Of every good
American. The old hero is careful
in the way of giving his principles,
no; that we think he is disposed 10 play
mum, but .hat he is fearful of creating a
shock upon the Wing party, from which
they would no, readily recover.
"In regard to the PRESIDENCY, will
not say that | would not serve, if the
good people of the country were 10 re-.
quire me 10 do so, however much il is
opposed to my wishes, for am willing
TO say, that have 10 aspirations for the
situation. My greatest, perhaps only
wish has been to bring, or aid in bringing
this war TO speedy and honorable close.
II has ever been, and still is, my anxious
wish that some one of the most experts
enced, talented, and vi,tuous statesman
OF the country should be chosen to that
high place at the next election. l am
satisfied that, il our friends will do their
duty, such citizen may be elected.
81 must, however, be allowed to say,
that have not the veniiy TO consider
myself qualified for so high and respon-
sible q station. and while we have far
more eminent and deserving names be.
fore the country, should prefer to
stand aside, il one of them could be ais.
ed TO the FIRST Office in The gift OF free
people.
Il 60 for the country, the whole coun
iry--and it is my ardent and sincere
wish, 10 see the individual placed at the
head of The station, who, by strict OBJ
servance of the constitution The he whom
he may) can make US most prosperous
at home, as well as most respected n

Gov. Martin and the wings.

This genlleman's course since he has
been so fortunate as 10 GET 10 be Cows
ernor, has, on several occasions, .reat-
ed the Wings with mark of disrespect,
and that party, or the most OF them. We
are assured will not give him much sue.
cor In his present malignant attempt al
running for re election. We extract the
following sensible remarks from the
Mobile Advertiser, Inc leading Wing
paper in the State;
1--WE can safely assert thai, at the las
election, nine-tenthc of The whigs-and
We think much larger proportion-cast
their votes for him. They did not claim
hun as whig-ihey knew him 10 he a
democrat: hor did they as WHY'S claim
any thing from him. They did not ex>
pect him to be whig Governor. But
they did expect, and had right to exs
pect, under the peculiar circumstances
OF his election, that he would be an an
dependent Governor, and'that he would
treat the party 10 which he manly owed
his election with at least common res
pect Instead of that however. his We.
~ first act was TO offer gross and nn-
wal rantable insult to that party. We
refer TO his Inaugural Address. He was
elected as anindependent candidate free
from, above and in defiance Of, party
trammels, with view alone 10 the best
interests Of The Stale. There was, there.
fore, not only no occasion for his intro.
ducing politics at all in his inaugural but
it was palpably wrong insulting 10 those
who differed with him and voted for him,
entirely uncslIedfor and in sshockino
bad iaste.' But Alabama was a demo.
cratic State and he deemed it important
TO make fair weather with the dominant,
party. He did not deem it of any i'm.
portance to concliale the feelings of the
wings as it was evident they were pow
erless in the State, Therefore, the first
public occasion after his election was
seized on to assail the principles of
those who elected him, and TO insult
them By pouring out for their benefit a
most nauseaiing dose Of unadul,eraied
radical Locofocoism What occasion,
We ask, was there for his praiiag about
has Jackson democracy p Under the
circumstances of his election he had no
right TO say one word about party poll
tics in his Inaugural. But he chooses
10 disregard entirely the feelings of the
wings, in the hope we suppose, in gel.
ting back into the good graces of the
democracy. By this foolish act he for.
feitcd all his claims TO the future support
OF the former; how successful he has
been with the latter, the action of the
recent Convention very plainly shows"

TaIIapoosa County.

We learn that the canvass has cons
menced 10 this county for members to
the Legislature-J Holly, Esq, and
our old friend Isaac Smith, are the De,
ocratic candidates, and J. G. Rawls and
Mr. GIBSON arc the opposition candi-
dates. We have long been acquainted
with Mr.. Smith and known him TO be a
man of both political and priva'e hon
esty. integrity and WORTH and a mai, that
has ever been universally beloved by
those acquainted with him, and we
do hope that the Democrats IN Tallapoo
sa may stand 10 their post and do their
duty nobly at the coming Angus, cleo
tiun, ard not s. fir this sound and good
old Democrat TO be sacrificed upon The
altar. Let every Democrat vote for The
Democratic Ticket, and not allow any
thing like swapping of votes, TO take
place, for it is in that way the Wings
have played 80 advantageous a game in
that county. We know that TalIaposa
is Democratic to the core, and all ,ha, is
necessary is for them to do their duty to
secure Democratic representation in
the next Legislature.
