DIFFERENCES IN ORTHODOXY

In oae of The districts OF Alabamy, gi-
ven over to democratic possession, Two
candidates of the same party are in the
field. Eech claims to represent the gen.
uine democracy and considers the other
an intorIoper and a sehismatic. DR.. Bow
don looks TO the Administration as the
embodiment OF democratic principles, and
steering by the constellation of the White
House, feels very sure that he cannot go
wrong. If JAMES X. Polk, the chosen
Of the party is not democrt-who is |!
That is what Mr.. Bowdon wants to
know.
On the other hand, however. Mr.. Rice
openly charges the Administration with
having brought "disunion and distraction"
into the democratic ranks. Ex cATHE-
ORA is to be put Ex EccLEsIA-excommu-
nicatcd. Here is the very head and front
of rebellion. But Mr.. Rice does not
deal III gencraliiics; he specifies; he makes
his charges distinct and direct. His In
dictment includes the following counts:
Isl. Getting the country into Il war
with Mexico, which might have been as
easily avoided as was war with Eng
land on the Oregon question.
I'd. The effort to tax tea and coffee,
on the pretexk that it was necessary to
carry on or supportthe war.
3D.. The failure to reduce the price of
the public lands by the Democratic ala-
Jorlty in both branches of Congress.
4lh. The attempt to supercede Scott
and Taylor, by creating the office Of Lieu
tenant General. and bestowing it on Tho
mas IL. Benton, "a mere politician.
5th. The passage of the Ten Regi-
ment Bill, and the clause giving the Pre-
sldent the right to appoint the officers, in
stead of entrusting that right to the brave
and devoted volunteers.
9th. The wretched attempt to ham,
per the resolution of thanks to General
Taylor with an implied censure.
7th. The refusal of the House of Re-
Presentatives to pass resolution calling
on tue President for proper information
concerning Santa Annals return 10 Mexi-
co. II the President, says MIR. Rice, did
nothing wrong in letting Santa Anna re-
turn 10 Mexico without any disturbance

In dision to these formidable positions
Mr. Rice takes another, which is likely to
insure him triumphant victory; he a.
vows himself in favor Of General TAY-
LoR for the Presidency. He does not
speculate upon what may be Gen. Tay-
lor's opinion in relation to this measure
or that, but supports him because nc be-
lieves that the interests of the whole
country would be well cared for by that
fine old gentleman and soldier.-Balt. A

Steamer arriUed at New Orieans-no

TAILOR still at Wuinut Springs-a-
bom 10 adUance on San Llis Pot0si.
BY the arrival, at New Orleans, OF the
Steamer Mary Jane Kane, Tampico dates
to the 26th have been received, but bring
no confirmation of the news in reference
to the movements Of Gen. Scott.
Gen. Taylor still continues at Walnut
Springs. On the 18th, his whole force
amounted to 1000 men. AS soon as re-
cruits enough to swell it to 10000 men
should arrive, he intended to march upon
San Luis Potos.
A rumor as early as the 18th of July,
prevailed at Monterey, that Gen. Scott
had defeated the Mexican Army i'll a bat
tie near the Capitol, and was supposed TO
have taken the city of Mexico!
A few days later accounts are looked
for from Matamoras by the steamer Fash
ion, which is hourly expected TO arrive.
All doubt will then probably be solved,
in reference to the Mexican news, and
the movements of Gen. Scost.

The propeller Washington has arrived
at New Orleans, bringing dates from Bra
zos TO the 22d Of July.
An Express had arrived at Matamoras
from the city of Mexico, stating that Gen.

torious, and with his troops entered and
took possession Of the capitol.

FACTS, RUMORS AND, SPECULA-
II0NS.
The Telegraph brought to the city
yesterday morning news of stirring inter
est, which was summed up in the follow
ing extra issued from our office:
"The Telegraph announces that Gen.
ScoTT reached the city Of Mexico on the
l7th ultimo.
"There had been quarrel between
SANTA ANNA and CANALIzo.
"Gen. ScoTT met with no opposition
till he was within eight miles of the city.
A skirmish then took place, but the Mexi-
cans soon gave way, after which the civil
authorities met Gen. ScoTT and entered
into stipulations.
Zone account, seat BY express TO Mat
amoras, states that cur loss was three
hundred; the account by way of Vera
Cruz does not, as far as we know, make
any mention Of the loss.
The important item Of the above news
that our army has taken the Mexican
capital-we believe TO be true"
So positive was the Telegraph's annun-
citation of these particulars, that we were
not little chagrined, as well as disap-
pointed, when the arrival Of the Southern
mail in the evening reduced these auspi-
cious accounts to little more than conflict
ing and disputed rumors. We give them
as they appear in the New Orlea4s pa
pers, hazarding no opinion ourselves, but
only the hope that the event reported
may be found to be true, and that it may
turn out that the heroic and veteran Scott
IS in quiet possession Of the capital ol
Mexico,

A TRIP UP SALT RIVER.

A few wears ago, soon after the elec-
ton of the lamented Harrison TO the Pre-
sidential office, on trip from New York
TO Albany we fell in company with an
English gentleman recently arrived in this
country, and who was making pleasure
tour through the States. He had with
him condensed map of the United
States, which he occasionally examined
with much apparent earnestness. After
some time we entered into conversation
with him, and found him to be gentle
man of great intelligence and urbanlty.-

he had on great variety OF occasions.

that morning examining the map for the
purpose OF ascertaining whereabouts it
was situated, (supPosing it place OF
fashionable resortJ but that his examina-
ton had thus far proved satisfactory; and
he appealed to us for information. OF
course we explained TO him the popular
use of the terms he alluded to, which
drew from him hearty exclamation, and
bust of uProarrous laughter.
