A PARALLEL CASE.

The National Tntelligencer says it knows of but one parallel case with that of Mr. Polk, in affording "aid and com> fort" to the enemy, in furnishing them with general in the person of Santa Anna. It is the following
 '' In naval fight between !he English and the Dutch, the Englshman suddenly stopped firing, yet kept his flag flying and his men all standing at their guns. The Dutchman seeing this and not wish ing to waste his fire on an unresisting ad- versary, ceased firing also, and hailed his foe. 'w!ly be did not either fight or strike The Englishmen answered that as to striking his flag, never, as long us there remained plank beneath his feet-and as to firing his guns, he would cheerfully do so if Iris enemy would have the gene rosity 10 supply him with powder. his own magazine being exhausted-tha, if he would not comply with his request, the fight must go on, and be determined hand to hand by boarding, which would lead to great loss Of life on both sides. The Dutchman, being man os feeling as we'll as of valor, and believing that in any event it was certain that no change whatever in the circumstances of the English ship which would deprive her commander O. the excuse of boarding could be for the worse, so far as the Dutchman was concerned, while it was highly probable that any change must be for the better, agreed to comply with the request of his gallant foe, provided he would pay him a fair consideration for the article furnished. The sum being agreed upon at something less than two millions of dollars, the Dutchman direct ed his own boats to place the powder safely on board the enemy's ship. Thus provided with means to renew the fight, he Englishman soon taught the other that he had been guilty of furnishing his adversary with club to beat his own brains out. ..-....

GENERAL, TAYLOR.


 The following paragraph is from the Beloit Messenger, professedly neutral paper. Read it:
 The Administration papers, with very few exceptions, are attacking Gen. Tay> lor What they expect to gain by this we know not. The reputation of " "Old Rough and Ready"i is too we'll establish ed to suffer much from the malignant at- tacks of any party. He has been long ln the servaso of his country, and no one has been more faithful in the discharge of his duty than that gallant old man. The laurels which he gained in the Flori- da war, on the Rio Grande, and under tue walls of Monterey, will shield him from the shafts of envy and malice. His name has been mentioned in connection with the nexs presidency. If it is 10 de. s,roy his prospects there, that these at- tacks are made, it may be we'll for their authors to reflect upon the consequences which resulted from similar course pursured in the contest of l84O-aye, and in 1928. Gallapt deeds are remembered by the American people, and they are not eslow 10 reward their authors when time and opportunity present. Should .0ld Rcz4ands sReadyp be a candidate for the presidency, his opponents would find in him about as tough customer as did the Mexicans at Monterey.
