CENSURE OF GEN. TAYLOR.

We present two articles 10 our readers this
week, from the Richmond rimes-"Gen 1dy-
Tor and he .M,umikins ;" and "Justtce to Cen
1aylor"-which put the ungenerous conduct
OF the House of Representatives towards the
good and gallant Old General, in clear and
forcible light before the country. The Senate,
ii will be seen, administered severe and just
rebuke 20 the majority Of the House. The
Country will receive their action with en'husl.

course. Gen. TAYLOR has 1--WE were about 70
saw wrought miracles in his conduct OF the
Mexican war, and has secured not only the
admiration and love Of the people OF his own
Country for his courage and humanity. but has
attracted the eyes of the enlightened world to
him. 1t seems as though the majority OF the
present House Of Representatives alone can
find hook TO hang censure upon. The PEG
pie will demand from them "the evidence oil
the faith that is in them" We regret TO sec
the name OF our Representative, the Hon
Henry BEpISGER, the second on the list Of
Ayes csasuring Gen. TAYLOR. He will find
on his return home. that the nineteen -twen,i

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

Ii seems 10 be settled now that Wing
Congressional Convention is to be held in this
District, on the Sd Of March next Several
gentlemen have been named as likely to be
prominent before the Convention for nomina-
ton. We publish two communications this
week which have been sent to us from the
County of Jefferson, recommending ANTHONY
KENNEDY, Esq, Of that County TO the consld-
Grafton of the District. We regard Mr.. KEN
EpY highly-we know him to be a gentleman
Of fne talents, and fully capable IN every re-
spect of making most useful and efficient
Representative, and should he receive the
nomination, will doubtless command an enthu-
asuc support from the Wings of the District
JOHN S. GALI.AHEa, Esq, native Of cold
Berkeley" and at present the excellent repre-
sentative IN the State Senate from the Frede-
rick District, is also recommended by writer
in the last "Free Press" signing himself
Shenandoah" and by another writer IN the
last "Winehester Republican," signing him
self ".Na,,y Wing Foters." We agree most
fully with the Alexandra Gazette, that ''the
nomination is an excellent one, and should he
be the Wing Candidate, we trust the people
OF the District will secure the election Of SO
competent and excellent representative"
Iti stated that ROBERT Y. CONRAD, ESQ,
Of Frederick, and ANDREW HUNTER, Esq. Of
Jefferson, decline being Candidates under any
considerations What the views and wishes
of CHARLES J. faulkner, Esq, Of this Conn
", are, in relation TO the nomination, we do
not pretend to know, as no has been absent
ftom home for some weeks past, and we have
had no conversation with any Of his friends
upon the subject. We have heard the name
Of PnILip WILLIAMS, Esq, of Winchester.
highly spoken Of, as a nomination that would
be very acceptable in every respect to the
Whigs Of the District, but we know not
whether he has any desire to enter upon "ths
troubled waters of political strife" There
are several other gentlemen spoken OF. SO that
the Convention will not be al loss for mate
yiei. Doubtless individual, have their per-
sonal preferences, but the nomination OF any
one of the gen,lsmn whom we have named,
will prove satisfactory TO the party.

next Congress. Several gentlemen OF known
ability IN the Wing ranks have been spoken
Iof The name Of ArrHoEY KrxsEpr has met
with cordial response wherever the subject
has been canvassed amongst the Wings Of

the choice Of the Convention tina, it will prove
a popular one.

with uroani'y o. manners and manly firmness

ssThe title of the resolution was then amen
ded, so as TO read as follows:
"Resoluton giving the thanks Of Congress
70 Major General TAYLOR, and the officers

tary operations at Monterey"
| Ii viii be observed that the Senators who
voted against Mr.. WEBsTER's resolution, al
an amendment TO that OF the House, after the
proyiso was excluded, ara those who may be
suspected Of the greatest readiness to sustain
the administration. This may be explained
by the fact that although the proviso disap-
proving OF the captulaiion of Monterey was
striker out, there remained the clause, which
was inserted in the resolution by the majority
in the ''imperishable honor" ascribed to the
army, by adding:
Engaged as it was and still is 10 4 wal

and continued by US in defence Of the honor
and in vindication OF the just rights of toe
United States, assailed as both had been by re-
peated and fragrant acts on the part Of Mexico,
Of insults, outrages. and, finally, OF invasion
of one Of the States of this Union"
II was mastery stroke Of legislation in Mr..
WEBSTER, to obtain from Democratic Sem
ate an unrestricted vote Of thanks TO Gen.
TAYLOR, after the dominant party in the
House had insisted on making il offensive to
the Wings by attaching to it assertions to
which they could not honestly subscribe.
1t is worthy ofrenark, too, that although the
final vote for Mr., WEHsfER's resolution APP
pears to be unanimous, six Democratic Sena-
tors, who voted against it as an amendment.
either declined to vote at all, or absented them
selves to avoid voting upon its passage. They
were Messrs. Ashley, ArcHrsoE, BAGBY,

The subject OF an election Of a Representative
in Congress from this District, appears to b
engaging the attention of each of the great pc
liticai parties--nominations OF candidates hav,
been made, and Conventions have been called
for the purpose ofselecting suitable Candidate
On the part Of the Wings, however, il is deem
ed unnecessary to hold Convention. as from
a communication which appeared in the Win
chester Republican, it appears that "lhs
Wings of that part Of the District from which
the communication comes have determined
to give their support at the next election, L
JoHs S. GALLAHrR, ESQ.," If the many
Wing voters who subscribed that communica
ton, adhere to their determination, It is mani
fest that there is no reason for holding Con
vention. unless il be TO confirm the nomina
ton Of the gentleman to whom they are deter
mined to give their support.
We suppose, however, that s'Many Wing
voters" merely intended to express in strong
terms their preference among the several can.
didates named. We desire 10 give expression
to our preference, BY pledging our support oil
the nomination heretofore made of ANTHONY
KENNEDY, Esq.
We believe him 10 be unexcep,ionable in
every respect and entirely fitted BY talent, in
teIligence. snd habits of attention and industry
to the station Of representative-and az accep-
table to the People Of the District as any noml
nation that may be made. He is not tram.
melled by office, nor is he obnoxious to the
prejudice Of being Of the Professions. He j.
truly one Of the People, in former life me
chanic, Of latter days and at present farmer
modest and meritorious in all the relations OF
life-his department and intercourse with his
fellow citizens has been marked BY the in,elli-
gence and manners of the well educated gen.
tleman. For representative he will receive
our warmest support
We submit, however, to the decision Of Q
Convention Of the District--giying the men,
bers Of that Convention an assurance, as we
believe, well founded Chat Messrs. ROBERT
Y. CONRAD and A. HUNTER declining the
nomination. no more acceptable nomination
and one better suited to unite the entire sup
port of the Wings Of the District can be made
than the nomination Of AKrHoNr KENNEDY

daily recommend TO the consideration of the

The Senate OF the United States, on We'd
nesday, gave memorable rebuke TO the fac
tous spirit which prompted the majority ofthe
House of Representatives to attempt to cast
opprobrium upon the reputation of Gen. TAy-
LoR, and, at the same time, performed an act
OF common justice TO that distinguished and
popular commander, by passing an unquali-
fed resolution of thanks for his conduct at the
battle Of Monterey. We copy, from the Uni
on, report of the yeas and nays in the SEN
ate upon the motion OF Democratic Senator
to strike out from the resolution Of the House,
its offensive proviso, and also upon, the amend
