Gen. Taylor.
The Wing Presses first denounced, and
now applaud this gallant officer. They have
dealt with his reputation as with some COM

profit they thought they could make from it.

democratic Press, which have never looked
to make capital out of his reputation, have
throughout shown a proper respect for bis

and virulent in his support as in his denuncI-
alton the Whig Press charge that the ad-
ministraton withdrew the troops from Gen.
Taylor, that Santa Anna might thereby de-
feat him! This is too gross falsehood
for belief, yet it is graveiy paraded as truth.
The government gave Gen. Scott the chief
command, who in bis letter TO Gen. Taylor
voluntarily assumed the responsibility OF
Withdrawing the troops, about which the
charge is made. Truly did Jefferson remark

STUPID FANArIcIsM.-Mr Joseph Dunan,
ofLima, died on Sunday last, from excessive
drinking probably, by apoplexy. On this
writer in the Lima Reporter, after stating
that he had "lefl a large and respectable fam
ily.p breaks om in the following disgusting
style: :,
@The men that sold him the liquor should
be branded as his murderers, which they are
lust as much as if they had deliberately cut
his throat. The difference being that in the
one case they would have only killed the bo-
DIV; pttreas, as it is they hare not only killed
the body, but hare done all they could to
damn the soul"
The man who has no greater sense ofdecen-
cy than thus wantonly to insult the feelings OF
aa large and respectable family, ldisgraces
and destroys the cause he would advocate, by
his wicked and abominable cant. II is by the
fanaticism Of such blockheads that the effort
toanesi the progress of ntemperance in our
country is rendered Intellectual and futile.
JAMES M. TREMAINs.--ln noticing The
escape Of this person, Mr.. Mackenzie. makes
the following remark in the Venture; "lt
is matter of regret that he was nor sent to
the penitentiary at the last term of Court"
thus indirectly throwing censure upon the
Court. We wish simply to remark that
when a person. is convicted of a crime and
bill of exceptions taken, as was tho fact in
this case, the court are required on request OF
the defendant to continue execution Of sem
teace until the next term. That request was
made by the defandant and granted by the
C2urt, as was its duty by the law.-Putaan.

subject before any application othe prisoner or his
counsel, addressing the prisoner directly asked him
whether he preferred ''going to prison in Col.
umbus or remaining in Jail here" Sd. No execu-
ton of sentence could be 'continued,n for NO
sentence was pronounced by the Court. We
have also understood that the court took this
course believing the conviction to be well had.
