DROPPING HIM.-As soon, says the Sleu-
benvile Union, as it had bocome known
among the knowing federalsts, that Gen.
Taylors political notions in I! e pas: were au-
tagonostical to theirs, and also after asccr-
tanning that protective tariff meeIs with no
favor with him, that soon did 4 retrogado
movement commence against the old HERO
These federalists pretended that nothing but
pure patriotism caused them to hoist the ban
ner of Taylor. but now we find that the fed
eralists are changing ground, because the
Generals principles are found not to suit
them. The New Orleans Tropic Qed) thus
speaks: ....,5.-
"'Tbere are other objections 10 the nomi-
nation of General Taylor now which should
readily suggest themselves to every Whig.--
We have always thought that it was the pride
and the boast of the whig party to elevate to
power men who would be the exponents of
paramount whig principles, and none others.
Gen. Taylor is a soldier. He has been al
most unintenuptedly in camp. His views
on great national questions are not certainly
known. We are Whigs-Whigs 10 the
core, and we would not vote for any man lv-
ing, or dead, for the first Office in the gift of
a free people, if he did not avow himselfa
friend to the protection of American indus
try. This is the cardinal article in our po-
litical faith, We love Zachary, but we love
our country more. "Principles not men," is
the Wing motto"

The above is the amount saved the nation
in the space Of fifteen years, by the iucor-
ruptible patriotism and irmness Of ANDREW
JACKSON, in putting down the Biddle
Bank. The cost ofthe monster, in officers
salaries alone, amounted TO half million an
nually. II is now almost fifteen years since
the people have been rid Of the curse. The
expense therefore for the above term. prin-
cipal and compound interest, amounts to the
enormous sum of nearly EIGHTEEN MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS!!! This sum, let
il be borne in mind, has all been saved to
the laboriug masses-the productive indus
try Of the country. On them falls the Sta
pendouS burhens of monopoly-from them
are filched the amount required TO support,
in afluence, those who suck the life-biood of
the peoples prosperity-whuse bread is car
ned by the sweat of other brows. This alone
should render Jackson worthy of monu-
ment, to say nothing ofa long life devoted 10
the glorious cause Of lberality and equality.
The above sum, enormous as it may seem,
is only the amount directly fIched from the
people. 1t is but a drop in the bucket COM
p,red to the sums of which such system is
calculated to rob them By mdircction. Up
on the banking system is based almost every
other system of wrong and oppression by
which the people are robbed, or their liberal
tiles endangered. Pure republicanism car
not exist, where such thing as bank 9
tolerated. Cleveland Times.

DECIDEDLY A CHARACTER is Elder G. J.
Adams Of Boston. On Friday afternoon he
laid violent hands ON Mr.. Easbrook, who
publishes paper in that city, and gave him
severe cowhiding in the public street. At
the close Of the cowhiding, the Elder address
ed the crowd nearly as follows-"Gentlemen,
am G. ]. Adams. This person, wi'hou,
the slightest provocation on my part, waaton-
ly assaled my character in paper of which
be is the editor, and for this have punished
him. am going to play an engagement. at the
Providence theatre this evening, and, please
God will return here on Sunday in season
to- preach the Gospel" He then bowed TO
the crowd and withdrew. Elder Adams is a

MARCH UPON N.ENlCO.

The recent intelligence OF lno triumph Of our
troops at Ccrro Gordo, and the prospect Of lno'r
successful and uninterrupted march to the en- ptrI
OF our sister republic, has cau'aI npny inquiries
as to the distance from Jl.apa - MaNico, AMI the
distinguishing points on The route. We hryo IN
qulred. wiki much care, into tins subject, and are.
enabled 10 give brief but correct guido to our
readers.
Wcgnthcr our information from DISTURNELL' 5
Spanish map of MEXICO, published in lS47, under
Mexican authority. The distance as laid down
on the map, from VERA CRUZ to the city of
Mexico, is 252 miles. ns follows; from Vera Cruz
10 Puenta del Rey, 30 miles; to Plan del RIO, l6
10 JaIapa, -; to Los Vegos 10; TO prrole, !; tc
Tepeyahualco, 10; to OJo de hguo. l6; to Nopp.
uca. 5; to PucbIa, 20; TO St. Martin, -; to Rio
Fro, D. 10 Cordova, If; and to Ml!NICO, 27--
total 252 miles.
Puenta del Rcy is a stup"ndous work of solid
masonry thrown over wild and steep ravInc,
which our troops have passed without struggle.
Jalapa is a delightful situation, about 1000 feel
above the sea, and has population Of l3, 900. 1t
is supposed that Gen. Scott will halt hls army
here and wait until all relntOrcementS arrive, anU
preparations are made, before he resumes HI,
march upon the Capital.
PerOie is one Of the chief fortrcssrs of Mexico
and IS well known to the public the famou,
prison Of Texan cnptives. 1t is about 5000 fec
above the sea, and has population 5000 souls
Its houses are one.s.oried, very gloomy looking
but worry strong. The English loyal maxim
''evcry mans house is his CASTLE is equally tru,
IN Perote, though in different sense. Nea
PeroIe is the famous castle of that name Thrice
has Santa Anna been an inmate of that castle
The last time prisoner Of State. 1t is not i'm
possible that ere long. ho may again bo an invoI
untnry guest of the Governor Of tho cas,le o
Perote. In the vicinity Of Perole there are sew
eral villages, inhabited solely by bandnli.
