At the very time, says the Alabany Journal
that Gen. TAYLOR was spending weary days and
sleepless nights in preparation for the great bat
tie of Buena Vista, Democratic Congress, to
carry out the opinions of Mr.. Polk, was en-
ployed in ceasHring the old Hero for his doings
at Monterey. Will they attempt to justify it
before the people? Or do they all place it on
the same ground that Senator Bagby did, viz
that he did not like to disregard the opinions
of the President" in this matter?-Augustu
Chronicle.
Yes! and at the very time that Gen. Taylor,
yet weary with the tolls of that great battle,
was writing home his report of its glorious re-
suits that same Democratic Congress, to dothe
bidding of its master, was busily engaged in
passing bill the object Of which was to give
him the power to degrade the old Hero from
his command and insult him in the eyes of the
people. Dare they attempt to justify this? or
do they regard the favor of the President, and
the spoils of Office, thus purchased, sufficient
recompense for the sacrifice of the confidence
and respect of their constituencies? answer
that Mr.. Owen.

''We will say further, and in good time will
produce to proof, which may be partly found in
Gen. Taylor's own official Dispatches, that he
had very little to do in fighting the battle OF
Buena Vista. Indeed, he was absent from the
field, at Saltillo, good part of the time, with
400 men. This is the truth, and we are not
afraid to say it, Notwithstanding the present
general disposition to give Gen. Taylor the en-
tire credit of that terrible battle. Slate Sen
tinel.
In his supplementary report of the battle of
Buena Vista, published last week. Gen. Lane
winds up with the following paragraphs:
at is due the commanders of the different
batteries of light artillery, to say that their eff
forts were most powerful and efficient towards
gaining the almost unparalleled victory ofBuena
Vista. Ready at all times to meet the enemy
at fearful odds, their guns wasted them away
with their fire III handsome manner, C0mpell-
ing them to retreat whenever coming within
their range. Gems. Taylor and Wool were pres
ent as communicable former as commander
in-chief.
They Were exposed to dangers almost every
instant of the day, watching the movements of
the enemy, and ordering and disposing our for
ces to meet and repel them. BY their cool
ness and courage in gaining this victory, they
have won laurels, and a fame that shall en-
dure as long as traces of American history shall
exist"
Has the Sentineian rebuttins testimony
if so let it be produced.

STEAMBOAT AccIDENT.-We learn by the
steamer Declaration, which passed up yester-
day, that as the steamboat Simon kenton was
in the act of backing out from the wharf at ST.
Louis, on Monday evening, 18th inst, bound
upwards with large number of Delegates to
the Chicago Convention, she burst her steam
pipe, scalding several persons very badly, some
ofwhom it was thought could not live.

THE TWO PASSES.

THE PASS IN.

Santa Aanna If he wishes,
With his staff, (say twice dozen,)
Through our feet at Sacrificios,
Pass his suit, both Don and Donna,
Equipage and servant folk;
We've the honor, Captain Conner,
To remain, Yours, J. X. P-K.
THE PASS OUT. -f.
Let this pass be your instruction,
Not to interpose obstruction
To the flight of Santa Anna,
From his country to Havana.
Though he failed in the commission
Trusted to his supervision.
We have still the highest sense
OF his moral excellence
Though, alas he missed success, la4a.l
He deserved il not the less.
"Aid and comfort" he demands
See he has them at your hands,
Or you'll soon be sorry, very,
Measure you, Captain Perry.

Is our friend Yours, J. X. PIX.

LEcAL.--We observed it stated in almost
every paper in the Union, that some Eastern
Judge has decided that the good viii Of news
paper is property descendible TO the personal
representatives of an intestate who bad been
interested in it in his lifetime. 1t has been
circulated and extended as principle quite
novel. We don't believe any Lawyer ever
doubted it. The good will of newspaper has
been held property in every sense.-It is sale
able, assignable, liable to creditors, devisable
and why not descendible? The wonder to u:
is that the question was ever mooted.

MECHANICS.


Mechanics whose toll is the wealth of a ma
ton,
Whose breasts are its bulwarks when danger
is nigh
Though humble your lot, and dispised your vo-
cation,
You have honor and worth that the world
cannot buy. rf3~
The minions of wealthy may affect TO despise
you,
Pronouncing you ignomnt, sordid and base,
But the moment will come that shall teach them
to prize you,
The scom they have written-themselves
shall erase.
Not theirs are the hands that can turn back
the billow,
That threatens to sweep DER our affairs and
homes;
They may live in the breeze that but plays with
the willow,
But wo unto them when the hurricane
comes. q
They must call upon you in the moment of
When the war banner spreads its red folds to
the air,
When our homes are assailed by the hands of
stranger,
And our valleys re-echo the cries Of despair.
Where of Rome's faded grandeur her ruin are
telling.
Where Athens proud temples reflect back the
In Palmyras streets-now the jackals lone
dwelling
Are recorded the triumphs by industry won,
There is not nation where science has flour
ished,
There is not land that the arts have adorned
But your valor has guarded-your industry
nourished--
Through glory and shame-though degraded
and scorned.
Your labor in peace, like the bright living foun-
tain
Sends rivers of wealth to replenish the earth,
And in war, like the storm beaten rock of the
mountain,
You ward Of the blast from the land of your
birth
But when peace, like the sun DER your country
is shining
For the wealth you bestow they repay yos
sneers,
And the wounds your have borne in her cause
unrepining,
Ingratitude bathes with adversity's tears.
When the herald Of fame, in the annals of story,
The deeds of hero proclaims through the
: land,
The monuments reared TO emblaZen his glory,
And the deeds they record, are the works sa
your hand
But what your reward when the conflict rs
ended?
Or where is your niche in the temple of fame7
The laurels YOU won with anothers are blended,
And darkness still rests on the artizans name.
Forages you languished in darkness and sorrow,
Toiling on-for the wealth that another must
reap;
Each day Of regret but the type of tomorrow,
As wave reflects wave in their race DER the =
deep.
But one after one, your chains have been riven,
And the day star of Hope from the horizon
rose
When the -spangled flag of Columbia given.
Called the children Of toll meath its shade TO
repose.
Then high be your aim, for the portals of glory.
By freedom unbared, now disclose to the view
A tablet whereon to emblazon your story.
An urn for the tears TO your memory due.
When your countrys proud star, through fu,u-
rity shining,
Beams bright with the deeds that her children
have done,
May the loveliest wreath round her diadem
twining,-
Be that which her toll worn mechanics have
worn.
