GEN. TAYLoR's HUMANlTY.-To show that
courage and humanity are kindred virtues, the
Albany Evening Journal, on the authority of a
venerable chaplain who was attached to the
army in Mexico, states that, after the battle OF
Buena Vista, Gen. Taylor made his DISPOSE
ton for the renewal of the conflict on the fol-
lowing morning. But at the dawn of the
next day Santa Anna was in full retreat. The
American cavalry were dispatched in pursuit.
Soon messengers returned informing the Gener
al that the Mexicans, broken and scattered,
were in rapid flight, but that the roads and the
waysides were strewn with exhausted, famish-
ed, and wounded soldiers, all of whom, in the
precipitation of Santa Annals fight, were left to
die without either food, water, or medical at
PENDANTS. Upon receiving this information
Gen. Taylor Immediately ordered twenty wag-
ons to be furnished by all that was required fol-
the relief of those whom the Mexican General
had left to suffer and die. These wagons were
promptly despatched accompanied by surgeon;
who were directed to find and administer to al
the sufferers. And to the Quartermaster who
executed this order, Gen. Taylor said:--
ssKeep strict account of every article sent, SC
that if any doubt shall arise of the propriety o.
thus relieving the enemys wounded, can pay
for them myself"

FATHER MATHEw-The vile calumny, in

of temperance, which was set afoat some time
ago, has been promptly contradicted under his
own hand. 1t will be remembered that it was
charged that he was coming to this country I'M
der the capacity of British spy. We make
the following extracts from letter he has adj
dressed to Col Sherburne, as satisfactorily vim
dicating him against the infamous charges:

GEN. CAss FEDERALIsT.-The Delaware
Journal says:

GEN. CAss FEDERALIsT.-The Delaware
Journal says:
1t is no kind of use for the Delaware Gazette
or any body else to endeavor to prove that Gen.
Cass in the early part of his life was not a Fed
eralist-why, he was born Federalist, lras
educated a FsderaliSt, and lrore a black cock-
ade, when such badge was fashionable.
Now is it not strange that the Locofocos. who
pretend TO have such horror of old Federalists
should choose one for their candidate for the
Presidency? The first political writings OF
Gen. Cass, which were published, were aimed
against Thomas Jefferson. the great farther of
true democracy and yet Gen. Cass is present
ed as being the very pattern of true democracy!
Future developments will show that the Loco
focos have been cheated in the man-and that
under the name of democracy they have been
deluded TO nominate, for the Presidency, an old
Federaist.
Gen. Taylor forms striking contrast with
Gen. Csss while the former was born Dem
ocrat and still is one, the latter was born Fed
eralist and was proud and ostentatious of what
he considered such an honor.--Delaware Jour
nal.

ing even against fate. That privilege General
Scott, sacrificing his own claims to the inter
ests of his party, surrendered without sigh:
not word about his being, like Cassius; the
"elder soldier both in the Wing army and
the army of his country. Mr. Truman Smith
asks him, not in general terms, whether he will
support the nomination of the Convention but
specially. whether he will support that of Gen.
Taylor; and he promises at once, openly aad
unanimously. "all the moral influence and
support il may be in his power rightfully
TO EXERT" without reserve or hesitation.
There is another circumstance which gives
to this act Of General Scott character of even
additional nobleness. Be it remembered, that
this sacrifice was asked of General Scott at the
moment of peculiar distress, when he was suf-
fering all those prosecutions of the Admins
tration; the gross i'll treatment and insults
of the Court of Inquiry, which were enough to
break the heart of an honorable soldier, con-
scious of having deserved the thanks and sym
pathies Of his country. Perhaps the consola-
ton that has borne him up, sick and wasted
as he is, against these wrongs, was the thought
that the appeal of his friends to the Justice of
the republic might result in newer and more
glorious honors, that would forever repair the
outrages done him. Well, then, he was asked
to give up his reparation-as too, in the
midst of his wrongs and sufesipgs; and, even
in that moment, and under those circumstances
be made the sacrifice, Brave. great, magnani-
nous Scott! the Wing party-the countryside
world itself never produced more truly noble
and generous spirit. He gives up all to his
friends, even while struggling. unaided, among
his enemies. His glories, his triumphs, his
hopes-nothing is refused; and nothing is ask
ed in requital. But such magnanimity was
never exhibited in vain. 1t will prevail owe,
his enemies and, as for his friends, the never
can-=they never wlll-forget it,

A NATIONAL CANDIDATE On the final
ballot, in the Wing National Convention, Gen.
Taylor received votes from every State in the
Union, and he also received more votes
than each of his competitors ip their respective
geographical divisions-more than Mr.. Web
ster in the East-more than Mr.. Clay in the
West-more than Gen. Scott in the Northern
and Middle States and the united influence Of
the South. Therefore he is pre-eminently a
national candidate.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 20.

0s-The Vanderburgh Democrat of Saturday
publishes the Lament of the Washington
Union, because Clay or Scott was not pomjna-
ted by the Wing Convention. We refer our
readers to an article in another column from
the Richmond Republican upon this subject
which is worthy perusal by every true Wing.
To read the Unions article one would sup
pose that nothing would comfort it. There
is no sign more encouraging than this to
the friends of Gen. Taylor. Had Gen. Taylor
been rejected by the Convention, and either
Clay or Scott selected as the Wing candidate
how different would have been the tone Of the
Unions articles. When Mr.. Clay was reject
ed by the Wing Congeptiol in 1910. the wall
ings of the cantipg, whining, old hypocrite,
who presides over the Union, were heard
throughout the length and breadth Of the lapd;
but when he received the nomination in 1874,
who was more abusiye of that great statesman
than Richie? And it is fresh within the reco}-
lection of every newspaper reader, that when
the Administration commenced this persecu-
ton of Gen. Scott, they had no more plant
tool TO do their dirty bidding, to malign and
traduce this gallant soldier, than this same man
Richie, whose bowels of compassion are now
SO sepsibly moved at his and Mr.. Clay's rejec-
ton. What miserably compound of stupid
Iity, hypocrisy, and deceit!
