years ago and they will also remember the
TWO or three mock trials which took place of

not agree, and he thus escaped the jus, punish

the name of TOWNSEND, who had a claim
against him, and took this method of liquida,ine

Interesting TO Farmers.

We see that many Of our contemporaries are
publishing (no doubt for The benefit Of their ag-
Tcuural readers,) an opinion lately delivered
by Judge Lewis, a, Lancaster, TO the effect that
a tenant is not entitled 10 remove the hay or
straw he may raise on rented farm. This
opinion of Judge Lewis is exactly contrary 10
decision Of The Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, and also 10 The views Of our Court in a
case tried few years since.
The law of Pennsylvania, as affirmed by the
Supreme Court, is that tenant is entitled 10
lhe straw of The way going crop, in the absence
Of a special contract TO the contrary; and far
mers would do well TO avoid being misled. TO
their cost, by the opinion of Judge Lewis.

The wings and the War.

The suemp: 10 represent the Whig majority
of the American people as recreant TO the duty
which they owe their country in The present
contest. shows 10 what baseness desperate
faction NAV be driven. Yet the calumny has
been confined TO the lowest and most degraded
of the party, to wit, James K. Polk and his pal
ace guard of pensioners. The falsehood is dis
proved by the gallant deeds and noble sacrlfl-
ces of Wings, by their readiness 10 bear any
burthen (save violated Constituion.) TO bring
this unhappy war TO speedy conclusion. The
real difficulties in Congress spring almost ex-
clusiveIy from Locolocos the Wings would
prosecute the war TO the uttermost. The Wing
press is almos, unanimous in supporting The pa
trio,ic course of our Whig representatives.
The course Of this journal has on this subject
been decided and consistent: il has opposed
the usurpaiions, the treacheries and imbeclll-
ties of the President; bu, has never uttered
word which can be construed into opposition 10
a vigorous prosecution of the war. On The
contrary. the dulness and feebleness of It's pros
ecution by The Administration have been the
theme of our constant complaint. Journals that
represent us in different light, do so from the
very wanoness of mendacity.

Interesting Dispatches from, Gen.



Dispatches from Gen. Taylor, TO the 22d Of
December, have been received at Washington
city. They inform the war department. of his
recent movements near Monterey, in conse-
quence of The reports which reached him OF the
advance ofSana Anna. He had left for Vic

ton the troops destined for that point AT
Monemorelos junction was effected, on the
l7lh, with the second infantry and second Ten
nessee regiment on foot from Camargo; and it
was intended, with he whole force, $500
men, 10 march, on the 10Th, for Victoria But
on the evening of his arrival at Monlemorelos
despatch arrived from General Worth, COM
mandlng at SalHllo, with the intelligence that
Santa Anna designed To take advantage Of the
division of force towards Victoria, and by a
rapid movement, 10 strike heavy blow al Sal

Quitman, reinforced by field battery, were or
dered TO continue their march and effect juno
lion with General Patterson at Victoria, while
General Taylor returned TO Monterey with
Gen Twigs' division, now increased By the
second infantry.

eral Wool, being advised by General Worth OF
probable attack upon his position, moved rap,
idly TO join him with all the available force al
Parras and Monterey, while orders were de.
spalched by General Butler 10 hasten up troops
for the rear. The latter general proceeded IN
person to Sal;ilo and assumed the command
agreeably TO instructions which had been given
by Gen. Taylor before his departure to meet a
case like this
Gen. Taylor had proceeded beyond Monte
rey on his way to Salrillo, when he was met
on the 20rh by despatch from the post an.
nouncing the early arrival Of Gen. Wool's col
