~ Since the election, the Wisconsin has
discovered that Gen. Taylor is a patriotic and
honest man, and will undoubtedly make a
good President. We are not aware of any
thing that has occurred since election, to
change Gen. Taylor's character, and if the
Wisconsin thought so before election what a
precious specimen of honesty it's editor must
be, to have been abusing Gen. Taylor, as he
has, for months past. This kind of political
morality that allows man to lie like pirate
about his political opponent before election, to
take it all back after election, we can't appre-
ciate. five had thought that Gen. Taylor
was either patriotic or honest, we should have
said so; but we did not think so before cleo
ton, nor do we now. Should his admins
tration, however, prove US to be mistaken we
shall not be slow to acknowledge it, but we
did not object to the man without reason, nor
shall we, without reason, change our views.

~ The Madison Democrat, whose editor
assisted to nominate Cass for the Presidency,
regrets that the Cass men had not been honest
and backed up the 'Old Chief in the position
that The Wilmot proviso was an 'impracticable
abstraction and ought to be kept out of Con-
gress, instead of endeavoring to falsify his po-
sition. and, make him out provlso man, for,
he thinks if they had been honest Cass would
have been triumphant. We too regret that
they had not been honest, and maintained the
position of their leader, for all the strength he
got in this State as well as the northern states
generally, was solely and entirely through the
hypocritical position assumed by his friends.

r EMARKABLE ATTEMPTTO ESCAFl
BY A SLAVE.

On Tuesday, as the steamship Columbus
was coming up the Delaware river and VIXEN
a short distance above Newcastle, Del, son re-
moving the matches to get the goods In the
hold in readiness for delivery, a blackman was.
discovered slowed away among the boxes and
bales. He proved to be slave namei Mo-
ses, the property of Miss Mary BrQWn4
wealthy lady of Charleston. The ship i'm
mediately put back to Newcastle, where The
fugitive was lodged in prison.
The regular sailing day of the Columbus
was Thursday last but she was delayed at
Charleston until Saturday, and her passage
was protracted beyond the usual time by
heavy sea. Just before her hour of sailing
on Thursday, box marked 81. Mlsfaw,
PHILADELPHIA was brought on board and the
freight paid on it. 1t was put below, near
the hatchway. The runaway slave, lDcfed-
ible as it may seem, had been tightly confined
in this box, the dimentions of which were
two feet in depth, two feet four inch,s IN
width, and three feet five inches in length
He had loaf of bread and jug of water in
the box with him, which world have been
sufficient for his sustenance from Charleston
70 Philadelphia had the vessel not been de-
hyed. The delay, however, drove hun to
extremities. He burst the box, in which it is
astonishing how he could have had air enough
to breathe, cut his way through bale ofcotton
and finding box in which there was a nice
lot of wine and pound cake, sent by newly
married couple in Charleston to their friends
in Philadelphia, he RECALLED himself upon
these Injuries. He next found his way into
a box of pomegranates, and thus managed tc
live finely. He was nearly dead, though
when takan out. No inquiry has as YET been
made at the vessel for the pho
North american.

with six and a half feet breadth of beam, cosl-
tains six seats and stern sheet; is furnished
with air chambers similar to those In a te

as all the wooden ones were DESTROYED, while
the copper one remained uninjured.
