Cen. TaxIor,s Politics.

Some of the Locofoco editors would
fain make their readers believe that Gen.
TAYLOR was Locofoco, whilst others adj
NIT that he is a Wing, but say he is in
favor of free trade. The editor of the
New Orleans Bee settles the question, by
assuring the public that he has recently
seen letter from Gen. Taylor in which
no remarked that his first choice for Pre-
s;dcn, was Mr.. Clay, and after him Mr..
Criuenden. or John NJ. Clayton, or Mr..
M'Lean. Here are FouR prominent
Wings, and all of them Tariff men, from
among whom Gen. Taylor would choose
2 President; which ought 10 satisfy every
body in regard to what are ms views oi a
Tariff and his principles iii general. We
have never known Locofoco or a Free
Trade man that was willing to assist ol
ther of the aforementioned gentlemen tt
the Presidency.

JAMES IRvrN.-The Easton Sentinel,
an ardent advocate Tor the reelection Of
Gov. Skunk tells the following story:
"Some years since, (not however when
Gen. Irwin was young man, but after
he had acquired large estate,) Gen. r.
wins father applied to him to write his
will. In drawing it up he consulted
with the son in regard to the dispositions
he was making of his estate, among his
other children, in the course Of which the
father concurred, that such and such por-
tons should be given to such and such
children. They thus progressed until
they got on some distance, when the old
gentleman stopped and said But James,
If 90 on this way, where are you to get
ANYTHING 2 oh, never mind that father,
said James, Il am worth more than you
are, and the rest of the children need 1t
more than do He then proceeded to
finish the will for his father, leaving HIM
self nothing or nearly so.',

TIVE FORCE OF 1000 MEN,"

more than 6,O0O-at all events not more

Mexico--infantry, artillery, dragons,
sappers, ordnance men, and volunteers,
all told.
