Colonel Black unOn C0rWin.

When the gallant Black spoke at Lam
caster, in this State, says the Pennsylvania,
at one of the largest meetings ever held in
that city, he used the following bold and
striking figure in regard to Corwin:
~Although the returning soldiers have not
met the hospitable graves to which they
were welcomed by bloody hands, each man
brings home with him pick axe and shove,
with which to dig the political tomb of the
Infamous Corwin. They will make it so
deep, and pile upon him so many noun
tains of curses, that no trump of political
resurrection shall ever recall to him life and
light againp'

Renedict Arnold.

Iii, related of Gen. Arnold, that when
about to breathe his last, he with difficulty
rose from his bed and dressed himself IN an
old suit Of American uniform, worn by him
ere his name was sullied by treachery, and
with which he had never parted during all
his peregrin atoms; and then, exhausted
with the effort, family breathing the name
of the country he had basely betrayed, laid
him down and died. s...
Unlike Arnold, Martin Van Buren, when
about to die, clothed himselfin the uniform
ofthe enemy, and is employing his expir,
ing breath in pronouncing anathemas on
bis FORMER friends, Sandy Hill Herald.

Among the recent appointments by the
President, we notice that of CHARLES NJ
-VEAN, Esq of N ew York, to be District
Attorney of the United States for the
Southern District Of that State, in the place
of BENZ F. BUTLER, removed. This is,
VIC think ,one of the most commenda bic acts
that has been recently performed by the
Executive, and will, we doubt not, receive
the appreciation of the Democratic party,in

Gen. Taylor on Brandy.-In letter

When used an moderation, 1 am not an
opponent to the use Of ardent spirits. :"
Who said that the old General never tasted

an opinion on disputed point! Who

Col. Hopkins wife believed that old Miss

TAKE NoTIcE!-It is we'll understood
since the "Ihird party" convention was
held in this city, that Messrs. Chase and
Vaughn have determined that n third can
didate shall be put in nomination fer the
gubernatorial chair. Of course if those
gentlemen aforesaid determine that such
shall be it will be. They may be trying
merely to frighten Senbury from his hole;
but some of the party in high places have
told us that tho thing was determined upon.
That is another stab at the vitals of whig-
gerry. Truly, the unfortunate federal par
ty is likely to learn that ''there is no rest for
the wicked" Times.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Important Letter from Gen. TaylOr.

We have had handed to us for pablica-
ton. the following copy of letter from
Gen. Taylor to Nj. Lippard, of this city.
As everything from the hand of each of the
Presidential candidates, is of general inter-
est at the present time, we freely give
space to this letter. Gen. Taylor, in this
letter, it will be seen, avows distinctly that
he is not party candidate.
This letter is genuine, and the very latest
expression of his views in regard to tho Pres
idency that Gen. Taylor has given to the
public, being ELEVEN DAYS LATER
in date than the letter to Gov. Morehead,
wherein he accepted the whig nomination:
Baton Rouge, La. July "a, lS4s.

gard, your most obedient servant,

The Boston Atlas and Eugene sue.

Some time since we contradicted penny a-line
story which writer in the Boston Atlas served up
to his readers in regard to EUGEN SUE. The pur-
port OF the story was that Mr. A. BRISBANE had
employ ed an INDECENT American painter to take a
portrait Of sUE that painter relied the execution
Of Nj BIS order for his bread and that SUE beinG in fact
heart.ss hypoete paid DO sort Of attention TO MI
request that no would the picture he had ordered
snd lett the poor painter to We contradcted
this narrative the authority Of Mr. Brisbane who as
.ufed us he bad given any such order
Hereupon the writer Of the Atlas, in high dudgeon
threatened bring proofs Of his assertion After several
weeks delay be finally published letter from Mr. B. to
evidence of the fact that he had ordered such
picture under such circumstances But with true Yankee
sbrewdness the letter printed. not in English which
everybody understand but In French. which compare
lively few the letter writer all The while pro
claiming that here proof positive Of the whole matter
and calling with amusing oooness for reraction OF our
eontsdsto the letter anything but such proof
and only showed the small which newspaper
statements sometimes made, did not think worth
noticing until heard valued acquaintance who doe.
not read French and chershes admiration for SUE
stos over the establishment Of the Afiass assertion
Tho letter which the Atlas publishes In French il
nothing than simply polite letter OF introduction

the writer Of knowing nothing Of the painter in ques-
tioa introduces him by name tells SUE that he desires
10 paint his portrait that IL is be wished that America
should possess bis picture, and adds:
II you find the time for the purpose, and II the
talent Of Mr. = pleases you so much that you are vii
pencil. should be much obliged " you would have the

leave to the writer Of the Atas the credit both Of
his success proving bis assertion and the OF its
achievement simply adding the reflection that slsnderous
criticisms are not always safe even when their object lie
