TAYLOR AND THE SOUTH.-We extract the follow
ing from late letter Of the Washington correspond
ert of the n. Y. Journal of Commerce:
The Baltimore Patriot contains letter of much
interest concerning General TaylOr's politics. 1t
bears date April 14th prior to the time when Gen.
Taylor had given has consent to become candidate
The names of the writer of the letter and of the
person to whom il is addressed not given, but ]
see no improperly in mentioning them.
A letter was addressed, since the late session, by
Mr.. Dixon H. Lewis 10 Col. Baltic Peyton of New
Orleans making inquiries relative 10 the political
views Of General Taylor in regard to certain ques-
tons in which the State Rights party took deep
interest Mr.. Lewis, in his letter, which is not pub
lshed, said that, if General Tayors views on these
subjects sound, he would support him for the
Presidency, even if he were Wing.
COL Peyton had recently served under Gen. Taylor
with the Louisiana volunteers, and known to
share largely in his esteem and confidence. He vas
also known as distinguished politician, having been
Ia prominent member of Congress, formerly, from
Tennessee. This gentleman IS the author OF the
letter IN reply TO Mr. Lewis's questions. He docs
not profess to speak by authority He dscaims that.
But he correctly states the sole ground on which
General Taylor would consent to be candidate IL
be presumed that he is equally correct in other
respects.
Mr.. Lewis was highly delighted with his reply,
and gives to it full faith. 1t is Mr. LIS declared
opinion, that Gen. Taylor will be supported by all the
Southern States.

More Signs.

The New York Tribune quotes from the Washing
ton correspondent of the Journal 0f Commerce, a
declaration which is said to be made upon high au-
thority, that Gen. Taylor will not submit TO party
nomination. but will remain a candidate, no matter
what may be done. or who may be nominated by this
that party :; and makes it the text of some COM
mcnts, very clearly indicating It's own position, and
calling upon Its Wing friends who favor the Taylor
movement. to make explanation of their poitlca
motives and purposes. To the editors of Northern
Wing journals who advocate the election of Gen T.,
the Tribune puts the following interrogatories, and
desires - explicit answer

been made of General Taylor's He will then
find that all the love which Whggery bears the olC
hero is exhausted the leaders who have kicked

will quietly fall back into the party traces, and pull
steadily for a National Convention that will nominate

TiRDY BUT DESERVED JUsTIcE.--Two of the lead
ing wing papers in N. York. the Courier and En-
quIrer and the Commercial, have, within few days
expressed the following opinions on the war with
Mexico:
The Courier says
1--WE have proclaimed on all occasions, that we had
abundant cause of war with Mexico and that there
fore the war is just although it might have been de-
fered and possibly avoided altogether if the admins
tration had so desired.
ave hold that with halfihe provocation from eth
er England or France, the whole nation would have
demanded war, but MericO being weaker power we
could with honor have made another effort to avoid
the collision, by abtalning from the Rio Grande, al
though in our opinion, we had perfect right to 60
whenever we pleased"
And the Commercial:
GAS to Mexico herself we do not agree that so far
she alone has any right speak IN the matter, the
war is unjust long course Of insults and injuries
committed by her against the U nited States a
ton, and against citizens of the United States
dlvlduals, sufficient to justify according TO the theory
and pratice of other nations pun
ishment, was demonstrated we think, by Mr. lnger-
soils repor: as Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Affairs.
France has not 1.-THE of the same good
ground for her war against Algeria, or England for
hers against the Afgans Even against China, Eng
land had not so much valid cause of complaint and
resentment, or any thing like.
With reference to the justice OF
injustice of the war; then, we are of the opinion thai
Mexico has not word to say"
We do not stop TO enquire how often both of these
journals have expressed different opinions That they
feel and write they do is a tribute to the eff
cacy Of determined public opinion, and the forced
rebukes of an indignant army, smartng under The
lash of wing abuse.

A POLITICAL TRUTH.-In his recent address be-
fore the Alumni of North Carolina University, the
Hon. Jno. Y. Mason, Secretary of the Navy, uttered
the following important political truth, which never
should he lost sight of among freemen
"Free government is valuable, after all. not so
much for any direct exerton of its power, for
what it permits TIE people to work out for them
selves"
If this maxim were properly cherished, there would
be less legislation, more freedom of industry no
nopoes, no special privileges. and unshackled enter
prise. "Hands off, is what the people should say to
the government when it undertakes 10 interfere with
private industry under pretence of regulating pro-
tecting it.--St. Louis Union.

GA good deal of fuss has been made in New
York about some slaves belonging to Brazilian yes
sci. recently arrived. They were before the courts
two three times on writs of haJeas corpus. The
end of the matter is thus related by the N Y.
pendent of the Washington Union:
The escape of the Brazilian slaves, after perform
ing often the aUant deur to the call of haJeas
corpus" is slill the topic Sunday night they were
safely locked. not only in the arms of Morpheus but
more securely, as thought in their grated cells.

Their owner knows nothing of their whereabouts,
and their friends profess the same unreleved igno-
rance. 80 Credit Judeus - they are in Canada by

amiss by the Brazilian government although it must
be admitted that its present eversh state towards

BRITISH PoLIrIcs.-The London correspondent of
the n. Y. Journal of Commerce writes:
In accordance with usage, Sir Robert Peel has ad-
dressed his constituents, but not in his usual style
and mode Instead Of conIenting himself with some
twenty unmeaning lines in hand-bll, he has issued
tolerably decent pamphlet. Therein he explains
himself in a very credIiabe manner instead of hls
usual reserve he is frank-past tmdity gives way to
positive bodness-he relies upon his policy and rests
his reputation upon its consequences He has fear
for the result, openly courts any and every invesga-
ton, and looks forward to udicious system of pro-
gress as the only mode by which this country can
henceforth be governed.
Lord John Russell, by this Peel maneuvre, has now
been put upon his metal and viii have to bid against
the ex-premer for popularity. His lordship Is to ad
dress the electors, personally, of London either this
week or the next.

Mr. CLAY-ANoTHER LETTER. "A committee of
eight gentlemen have presented Hon. Henry Clay
with half dozen grass and half dozen grain
scytlies Their letter is dated North Wayne. Maine,
MAY, 1S47' The COMMITTEE" inform Mr.. Clay
that these scythes were made at an establishment
which grew up principally ip the prosperous times
that followed the enactment OF the tariff of 40. From
50 to 100 hands employed in it, and upwards Of
u 900 dozen of scythes are manufactured here per
annum." The Augusta Age states that the scythes
were made at the establishment of r. B. Dunn, Esq,
the largest in the United States and that MIR. Dunn
is a straghtout democrat; he depends upon tariff
or speca privileges for success, but prospers by unit
ring energy and close application to business. He
sells great many scythes an The British prorinces,
fact which shows that the tariff does not affect him.

POISONING AMERICANS IN MExICo.-We mentioned
time since the rumor not our own, that the
Mexicans at Jalapa and elsewhere in Mexico, were
poisoning the milk and other products, and then sell
ling them to the Americans. That this Infamous
attempted to kill soldiers there is the
best evidence We have taken some pains to gain
the history of the matter, and find it to be as fol-
lows:
In Mexico there grows a small bean called Pinon
lilo, pronounced peno-leo) which, when infused in
milk and drank, a chronic disease that soon
carries off IFS victims they the while unconscious of
the real cause This bean, it is said. used in
Havana many years ago, with considerable success in
destroying the English. The Mexicans use an herb
called the huGco, pronounced wha-co,) to relieve
them of the poisonous effects of the pnonello and the
bite of poisonous reptiles, by chewing the weed and
swallowing the extract The extract is also used to
put in the place of bite of poisonous reptile and al
ways with success. Mexican never travels, If 1t
can be avoided, without small package of the hu-
weed, 10 be provided for against accidents.-N
