THE SCOTCH.M.ayN'S DESCRIPTION on
GE.E TAYLOR.
ID Thank God I've kcn'd the good old mon,
Wi locks o sna' and eye o fire;
I've fought beneath his eagle glance, II
And sturdy heart that does ma tire,
I've ken'd him in the loud foray,
When death was laying low the clan,
And blood stain'd grew the chapparal,
And red old Rios waters ran.
I've read o Wallace and o Bruce,
O. daring deeds by Carpbelrs done,
But ne'er saw. one approach SO near
Perfcction's picture as this mon;
He's ma 50 tall as lords Of old;
But Draw and bold to look upon,
And if ye saw him in the fight
Dell take me but ye'd blush 10 run,
He's aye sac muckle cool and brave,
Ye'd think the field ladies' rout-
The more the danger pressing grows
The easier he can tax ys out;
Imarkd him well at Monterey,
When he rode in beneath the wall-
How cocly he held death at bay
How calmly he gave the recall
Ye southron fox may well be proud,
And tell his deeds in song and story,
The laurel wreath that decks his, brow
Encircles the whole land wi glory
For we're the world mighty scroll,
And every tree and branch pen,
The sea all ink--ye'd fail to write
The glory Of earths greatest mon.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC AND LIBERTY
PARTY STATE Convention IN NEw HAMP-
snIRB.-We learn from friend from Man
chester, who was present at the State Con-
venlion of the Independent Democrats and
Liberty Party at Concord yesterday, and d
bout three hundred delegates were present.
asa Fowler Esq, of Concord was The pre-
siding officer. The Convention nominated
Nathaniel S. Berry, OF Hebron for Governor,
he receiving 26I yotes-twU were cast for
Jared Perkins, Of Unity. The following gen.
tlemen were chosen delegates 10 the Liberty
Farty National COnVention, 10 be held al
Buffalo On the Goth of Ociuber, viz Amos
Tuck of Exeter, Daniel Holt of Sandwich,
Joseph Cochran of Manifestations L.Carl-
ton OF Bath, Jared Perkins Of Unity andAbra-
ham Emerson of Gambia. A resolution " a.
unanimously adopted ia favor Of posipOnlns
The nomination OF President until next year,
A resolution was also passed Recommending
Mr.. Hale to The National Convection as !
candidate for the Presidency, as the hrsi
choice Of the Independents aud Liberty mer
OF New Hampshire. George Barstow, Esq.
of Manchester made a speech, in which he
stated that his choice was Mr.. Hale, but
'nhetner the candidate should be NeuHamp-
shire Jack or the Wagon Boy Of Ohio, he
should receive his support. We are inform
ed that this feeling prevailed the Convention.
II The liberty party generally throughout The
country would manifest similar indications oil
common sense, they would appear to much
better advantage. As far as we know, New
Hampshire is the only State where thai party
has ever shown any disposition to make any
concessions for the benefit of liberty. And
it is also The only State where their efforts
have been productive Of any thing bat unmit-
igated evil We hope thai the reign Of COM
mon sense is now about TO begin. The
Wings of New Hampshire will hold Con
vention at Concord on the Goth inst, and will
probably adopt Judge Berry as their csndi-
date We believe it is in the power OF the
allied army to elect him and $50 TO carry the
Legislature. The canvass next spring will
probably be as animated as the last one. All
friends of freedom will rejoice in the success
of Judge Berry and the allied army.-L0t0eH

king ofthe Capital Santa Anna marched
out on the 18th with ten Thousand men
and twenty common for Guadalupe, and
was expected soon to retreat to Oajaca
No farther immediate molestation from

Our entire loss from the Sth to the 18th
of September was 25 officers killed and
AZ wounded, and 400 men killed and
wounded in the last battle. At Chapulte-
pee, on the 18th, Gen. Scott brought 10
pieces of cannon to bear on the heis hts,
soon rendering them untenable.
On the afternoon of the 18th he sent
800 men into the city who took posses
sion of the citadel after some serious op-
position from the rabble who attacked his
rear, wounding a number, On the 18th

The following resolution was introduced in the
recent Democratic State Convention, by MrField
Of New York, but was finally laid on the table
We think it would have been as well to have a.
dopted it. One thing is certain-the democracy
of the North will never consent TO the admission
of territory now free as slave territory:
Resolred That while the Democracy Of New
York, represented in this Convention, will faith
fully adhere 10 all the compromises of the Consti-
tution and maintain all the reserved rights of the
States, they declare-since the crisis has arrived
when that question must be met-their uncompro-
missing hostility to the extension of Slavery into
territory now free, which may be hereafter acqur
ed by any action of the Government of the United
States.

FROM THE ARMY.
REPORTED RESIGNATION OF SANTA ANNA.
New PRESIDENT APPOINTED.
1917

| PhslddeLphid, oct. IL, lO4|.
The remainder of yesterdays despatch
was received by the Baltimore boat late
last night The Alcade's circular states
that heroic resistance had been made for
six days, but the enemy (Scott) at length
established himself in places and positions
Fl ON which his missiles could reach the
peaceful thousands in the city.
Their supreme Government seeing the
state of things warranted a departure,
changed their abode, and the seat of Gov
eminent would be very soon announced,
though the site had not yet been agreed
upon.
The American army charged on the
18th at daybreak with all their force upon
Chapultepec, which yielded after spirit
ed defence of six hours.
The Americans Immediately marched
upon another strong fertilization, but
their first advance was checked by the
Mexican troops led by Santa Anna, dis
putting the ground inch by inch.
The Mexicans were finally routed from
the Capital after nine hours hard fighting.
The Capital being in this situation, and
Santa Anna anxious to avoid its lombard
ment, determined to evacuate it.
The verbal reports received at Vera
Cruz state that he retired to Guadalupe
with ten thousand troops and twenty-five
pieces of artillery.
No mention is made of the reported
bombardment on the 18th and 18th. A
letter received at Vera Cruz, says that az
ter the Americans carried the Citadel,
they turned the guns of that fortifcation
on the city, when the Mexican army re-
treated to Gaudaloupe.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs ad-
dressed the Governor of The capital, direc-
ting him to arrange affairs as well as he
could until he received Official informa-
ton where the seat Of Government was es-
tablished.
No confirmation of the report that San
ia Anna had been wounded. 1t is report
ed that General Quitman was on bis way
down to Vera Cruz with dispatches and
| four thousand men.
Col. Wilson was seriously i'll. Gener-
al Patterson would take command of the
forces IN the City and State ofVera Cruz,
or proceed to join Gen. Scott, as he should
think proper on his arrival there.
Gen. Lane had been compelled 10 send
back to Vera Cruz for a supply of ammu-
milton. He had arrived at the National
Bridge without serious opposition, though
the Guerillas made their appearance on
several occasions
His acquisitions for 10000 rounds oil
ball cartridges was complied with. 1t j:
reported that the yellow fever has made
its appearance in Gen. Lanes command
and that there was some scarcity ofprovis.

Another rumor is that the Guerrilla:

The northern galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1844-1848, 1847-10-19

arrived here at an early hour this morning,
from Vera Cruz and Tampico, having
left the former place on the Goth, and the
latter on the Both ult. BY this arrival we
received the first number Of the Genus Of
Liberty, a new paper published IN Vera
Cruz by MesSrs. NJ athewson and Ouinn,
from which we gather the following inior-
nation:
There had been no communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and the City OF Mexlco'
since the news brought by the Mary Kings
land, already laid before our readers. Inc
capture of the Capital and the flight OF the
Government to Guadalupe are, however,
placed beyond doubt by letters received
at Vera Cruz via Oriziba and Tamplco.
We are still left in doubt as to the num-
Der of killed and wounded in the battles
before the Capital, no particulars beng
given in the letters or papers before u.s.
The rumors by previous, advices oil Inc
death of Gems. Smith and Worth, we are
inclined to believe. as we trust they are
entirely premature.
The large train which recently lett
Vera Cruz under Gen. Lane had taken
I'D position at the National Bridge, and
was there awaiting the return OF supplies
from Vera Cruz. The Guerrillas mus
tered in large numbers in the vicinity OF
the bridge. and were continually harass-
ing Gen. Lanes command. The Genus
of Liberty of the 25th says:
Intelligence has been received by US,
brought in by a train which has just arrived
from the National Bridge, under the su-
perintendence of Lieut.. Bedney F. Nc
Donald, Act. Brig. O. NJ. that Gen Lane
with his force had taken up position for
the present at that post, and there was a.
waiting the return of the supplies, which
is the express object of the train to carry
out. The gallant General and his brave
band wera somewhat harassed by the enc
my, who kept continually lowering on his
TANKS, firing on them occasionally, but :he
vigilance and circumspection which he
increasingly manifested deferred the enc
my from an approach within any reasona-
BILE proximity.
We are extremely sorry to add that 1t.
Kline Of Capt. Lewls's company of Louis
lana volunteers, was slain while employed
in the rear in the performance of duties
Incidental to the time.
The seadiness with which the General
advanced and marshalled his force for the
full and complete protection of the train,
is worthy, by all accounts, Of every praise
and commentator, and is in perfect keep
ing with his character, which is that o!
Goodness, determined bravery and calcula-
ting prudence. Such are the men quail
fed to take charge of reinforcements pas
sing through the enemy's country,in which
every moment surprises and attacks are
things to be expected, and should conse-
quently be foreseen and provided for.
