A GRour.-The Washington correspond

cat OF me NOW Y0rk "Journal OF Coil-
merce" says, wilb much naiDe@, that
"'rhe next packe, that sails for England
will carry out the intelligence that the Amer
leans have won the brilliant battle Of Buena
Vista against great odds; that the Americans
have taken the city ofVera Cruz and tho for
midable castle of San Juan d'Ulloa; tha, the
Americans have opened the ports Of Mexico
to neutral trade; tha, the Americans have
sent feet efsbips laden with provisions for
starving Ireland and that American credit
rises at home, in the face Of large sxpendit-
ures; and that the now loan ia taken at rate
above par"
The nows will 90 at the same time that
General Scot! is now on the wing for the ia
bls-land and the capital Of Mexico, and that
The treasury of ths United States is in such
credit, and the resources of our people are
so abundant, that more than three times the
amount of the loan which the, government
wanted has been offered--near sixty millions
and nearly all above par. The stock has
since advanced, and is rising ia the market.
Considering that this administration is
bankrupt, as the opposition papers have ven-
tured to predict, this facility ofobtnining three
times as much money as they want, is doing
very we'll. Mr.. Calhoun, Toe, who has no
adequate idea of the energies ola free Peo-
pls--who was for system of "inasterly in
actvity' in relation TO Oregon, and underru-
ted, in his speech, the resources ofthe Unl-
ted States, and who was pretty much for the
same system of"masierly inactivity" in his
speech about Mexico, also said: :"Well, then,
we must have another campaign. Now, a
solemn question comes up, Have we the
means? Can we raise the meney" Let
the loans Of yesterday answer the gloomy in
tsrrogaiory = Washington Union.
While the federal press is thus, for
party purposes, rallying in hot haste upon
the name of Gen. Taylor Tor the next pIssi-
dency, while that lllusrious general 10 yet
engaged in fighting The foreign foe, thu FOL-
lowing cxtractsshswdivrsily of opinion inthe

a..W From the N. o. Picayune.
"GHN. z. TAYLcR.--We noticed with no
little surprise, yesterday, the namo of Gen.
Zachary Taylor figuring at the head of the
Bullenn as candidate for the presidency,
ssject to he decision of q phig National
conrentioS. Thsappropriation of Gen. Tay
lor's, name, for party purposes, we knop is
without tho saRctioa of that distinguished
commander, and contrary to his wishes. 1t
is act only against his wishes, but it is re-
PugnaRt to ,ae.feeings and views of his Pc
culiar friends; and in this category we in
cluds the immediate family Of Gen. Taylor
aud such Of his confidential associates as best
know his purposes.
"Bat apart fron the individual wishes si
Gen Taylor and the desires Of his peculiar
friends in this conasxien, we do protest
against any such absorption Of great name
BY any political party. More especially do
We protest agains, it whilst he is the gvea,
cnp,ain of,he nation, leading whig and dem
oera, alike 10 victory, and reaping the und;-
vided applause ofthe whole people.
Here is the N. Y. Courier and Euquirer's
opinion, TO tho effect that Gen. Taylor will
not suffer himself to be made the President
Of party:
"Gen. II. is not popular with tho political
demagosues and ofiee-ssekers, who make
politics trade, and who fear the elevation
to the presidency Of any honest man who is
entrsmmslled and at full liberty to pursue
Just sach course as his convictions Of duty
his devotion 10 the constitution, and his pa
,riotic impulses. will naturally prompt.
