THE HON. HORACE EVERETT, Of
Windsor attended the WING National Convcn-
ton, and after Gen. Taylor was nominated left
that body in pct without remaining to aid in
the nomination of II candidate for the Vice
Presidency. 1t was but few years since he
RESIGNED his scat in the Vermont Legislature
simply because he took it into his head that
she Legislature did not treat project hc had
brought before the House with proper dignity!
IIc was not elected delegate to the National
Convention because he was thought fit for the
office, bnt simply because he brggc@ the ap.
pointmcnt, as child bcgs a stick Of candy,1nd
surprising ii might sweetcn his sour spirit
little he was INDUCED in his wishes
/ lie went to the Convention for Henry 0Iuy 3,
and against every body else. lie declared be.
fore he left he would not support even Daniel
/ Webster. lie had, of course,no scrupcs upon
the slavery qucstion-ior upon this point the
expressed views Of Gen. Taylor are similar to
those expressed by Mr. Clay, in his Lexington
speech and others, ifnot selfish motives alone,
controlled him in his strange and unjusGGablc
course, in the Convention and since.
Mr. T.. was once a good lawyer, and for most
of his term of twelve or sixteen years in Con-
gross, stood wen in the opinion of his friends
in Vermont but like some other men who re-
main too long in Washington he "spcnt all his
living" and broke himself down in fortune
and health and is now prey TO the "gnawngs'
ofhis own sprit-sour, nvcrbroring when
he cannot rule he bOitS, as he did in the Leg
islaturc and in she National Convention.
He threatens an address against Taylor
But whatever he may say can turn no one
mind who is acquainted with the sad state into
which he has for some years fallen. His old
friends pity him, and have INDUCED his splc-
nctic whms too long, yet because they have
done so he may venture upon their indulgence
still further.
In Windsor County he is as powerless as tho
least man there, and his address do M
harm only where people have not learned, by
knowing his condition, TO pity his niirmitias.

been carried into efeetin one instance.
Diseases and restitution are not diminishing
on the contrary, they are rapidly extending
throughout the south and west, and in many
districts the mortality is alarming. The en-
tire population Of tracts Of country along the
western coast are in a frightrul state Of desti-
tuition. Even in the comparatively we'll cir

sinking into the grave amongst the class who

FRANCE-The news from France is not i'm

pc appears good, though he was still afflicted
with cough
A great degree Of GOODNESS is said to exist
between the Prince de ~Joinville and his royal
father, in consequence Of the Princes strong
feelings in favor Of the italian movements;
and so violent has been his alterations on the
subject with the King and M, Guizot, that he
demanded, tnstantera congo to go to the Brazils,
and not to Algiers, as had been determined on
previously. The congo was granted.
On the 9Th, the Chamber resumed the dis
%cussion on the paragraph in the address to the
King relative to Algeria. Marshall Bugeaut
said, that the submission Of Add el-Kade.
was a new guarantee in favor Of the African
possessions of France, but he was of opinion
that the army should be reduced as little a
possible, in presence Of warlike population o
100000 souls, who could, in six weeks, turn
into the field 100000 combatnnts. Mr.. Guizo
having been asked what the Government inten
tended to do with the Emir, replied-"T TIL,
promise made 10 him shall be fulfilled. w
cannot, how yer allow him to proceed to St
s Jean d'Acre, because that fortress belongs t.
8 the Porte, which has not yet recognised gu
African possessions. If Abd-el-Kader wishe
to be conveyed to the East, he shall be conduc
n ted to Alexandra. There, if the Viceroy con
n sents to receive him, we will find guarantee
r and securities, which St. Jean d'Acre does no
offer.
Notwithstanding the above explicit declare
ton, it is hintedlh hat M, Guizot is secretly mar
d aging matters III the East, so as to close again'

MADISON, March %, l848.
My DEAR Sir: In answer to your letter on
the subject Of a National Convention of the
friends of Gen. Taylor, and other prominent
and distinguished men Of the nation, We
have to regret that the spirit Of the people or
Of parties, still gives strong indications that
they are in favor Of the system, and | am alta
loss to see how they could well avoid it, when
there is such n number Of men who have q.
wish to be promoted to that high and impor-
tant trust SO freely conferred by agreat and free
people.
The day is not far distant when the people
will decide against this system offetching cam
didates before themselves, but until they act
and condemn the policy, ] am at a loss to know
how things can be otherwise. AS we unfcr-
%tunateIy have parties, the acts Of one will me-
~cessarily have controlling influence over the
other as to policy.
| am at a loss to know how the friends Of
Gen. Taylor, throughout the union, can hope
for MS elevation to the Presidency, unlessthe
ia a union Of his friends. The idea OF an in
dependent candidate will entirely fail. We
witnessed it in the case of Judge White, in
1885, and the chances for an independent cam
didate at this time under party drill are muGh
fewer.
have no fears but that Gen. Taylor will
get ,he nomination in Philadelphia, if his
friends in all the States are fully represented.
Many Of both parties object to him on ac-
count Of his silence as to party drill and party
reward how could any true lover OF liberty
and equal rights act otherwise! Gen. Taylor
has been at the head Of a brave and gallant e.
nv, which was made up Of wings and demo
Gratis, fighting side by side, and many hewn
down and buried in the same grave. No
brave man could answer otherwise than Cen.
Tavlorhas 10 the many enquiries made Of him.
/ will here give a few reasons, among many,
WHY the people should select and elect Gen.
TAYLOR to the next Presidency. We see tho
nations Of the earth are about to come to d
general peace, and nations having elementary
powersaf are apt to be governed by similar causes
as great storms follow great Gains. We have
signs in the east that this will be the result
