WHIG NOMINATIONS.


The voice Of tho Wing party, through
their representatives. assembled at Phila-
delphis, has spoken and Maj. Gen. ZACH
AIRY TAYLOR, Of Louisiana, tho match
less hero Of Bucna Vista, is the man Of
their choice for tho Presidency, and MIL
LARD FILLMORE, Of New York, for the Vice
Presidency. We congratulate the Wing
party that they are 10 be led by chief
who never has been defeated and "who
never surrenders." A fortnight since and
We thought the old hero had lost the nom-
nation, from tho Independent, manner in
which he avowed his determination to be
tho peoples candidate for tho Presidency,
but that determination has been ratified
BY the Wing Convention, and again We
elevate his honored name, resolved to i'm
press with our feeble ability upon the minds
Of the people, bis claims upon their sufra-
ges, for the services he has rendered their
country and for tho possession Of virtues,
gallsntry, patriotism and common sense,
superior to the political aspirants who have
generally been nominated for that office.
For two-thirds Of life Of three score
years Gen. Taylor has served his country.
Nor have his services ever been withheld
when his country required them, but, upon
the first in,ima,ion that they would be
needed, Inc promptly responded. lilo has
fought the battles Of Palo Alto, Rcsaca dc
b Palma, Monterey and Buena Vista. He
has borno the flag Of his country proudly
and triumphantly through four Of tho mos.
sanguinary battles on the record Of modern
history, and although exposed in the field
20 four times bis number, each time achiev-
Cd decided victory, until tho renown Of
American arms, through his proves. have
been sounded in the remo,est corners of
she earth. In bis official correspondence
he has proved himself possessed Of mind
emincntly qualified to direct in tho cabinet
- in tho field--a mind formed upon the
model Of Washington, whom no has never
ceased 10 admire and to imtnte. Like
Washington's, his wnrmcst aspirations ore
for his country's good, and as truly may j,
b said Of Taylor as Of Washington, 'firss

d his counsrymen." We then unfurl to
Shs breeze the flag Of tho Wing party with
he names Of Gen. z. TAYLOR and MIL
LAIRD FILLMORE inscribed upon il, satisfied
chat Gen. Taylor, as President Of the Uni
sed States, will support the principles i'd
yocaled BY tho Wing pnrty.

HoRRIBLE MuRpER.-On Monday night,
the 18th instant, Mexican, by the name
of Pablo Reals, most willully murdered his
wife and sister-in-law. He was arrested
by the Sheriff Of the Santa Fe district, ex-
amined before the Perfccts court, and CON-
mit,ed for the trial a, the next term in June.
The nffair has caused grent excl,emcn,

Mario EgM.-Licut. Hunt and Mr..
Green arrived a. this city on The evening
Of tho 18th ult., directed from Col. Newly i

understand from them that, tho l 18th day
on. from this post, COL Newly with his com
mnnd came upon n large party of the
Nayijoes, who fed before him. A party
under the command Of Cnpt. Sockton
started in pursuit, and overlook the Indians

which eleven Indians were taken prisoners.
Capt. Stockton then rejoincd the command
under Col. Newly, which soon afterwards
was attacked by the Indians. who fred upon
the Americans from tho hills, in every

soon drove them back, killing ono of tl,oir
principal chiefs and three or four warriors,
besides wounding several others: chief
was also taken prisoner. No Americans
were hurt during The skirmish.
The next morning Col. Newly proceeded
on with his command, and met two or three

GENTLEMAN,S MAGAZINE.

This is the title Of monthly magazine
upon the plan Of the best eastern publica-
tions, just issued from the Cincinnati press
BY Messrs. Sanders g. Huntington. Our
brother J. Milton, i,s editor, in recent let
ter respecting the undertaking says. "If
the West wishes to support its own litcra-
turc il now has tho opportunity" We tru-
ly hope that the West may rally to its sup
port and prove that literary magazine
can be supported upon this side Of tho Allie
gheny mountains. The Cincinnati Daily
Gazette thus refers to the above magazine
ave referred TO the embellishments some
days ago, which arc decidedly handsome. We
have since seen some specimen sheets Of the
lettcr-prcss, which arc worthy to bear them com.
pany. The matter, we doubt no, from wla, VIC
hear, will be equally credtablc TO the concern.
In view Of these several thugs, we think the
western public may anticipate a good pcriodi-
cal, without danger of being disappointed"
Since writing the foregoing VIC have re-
ccivcd The first number OF the above publ
cation. The cngravings are "Cincinnnti
in 1900" accompanied by mn able article
from the pen Of Judge Burnett, Of Cincin-
natl, and fancy portrait, the embodiment,
Of some very pretty verses from the pen Of
+. W. THOMAS, Esq. A sample number
may be seen by calling at this Office.

GEN. TAYLOR.

The inquiry has been made Of u whe.h-
cr We do not now deem ourself TO have
acted hastily in taking down the name Of
Gen. Taylor a. Peoples Candidate for the
Presidcncya We reply empha,ically, No,
and in view Of his positive assertion tina,
he was determined to be candidate, even
though Mr.. Clay should be the nominee Of
the Convention, We doubt il no would have
received one dozen votes in the Convention
had he not subsequently, declared his will
lingness to abide the decision Of that body.
The following 10 the gist ofour remarks 10
suspending his name, course that was
wholly Influenced by the extract from the
letter which We have already published
We advocated the claims Of Gen. Taylor be-
cause we Eel, degree OF assurance amounting
70 confidence, that he would be the nominee Of
the Wing National Convention, but as he has
declared il his intention to be candidate with
out regard to The action Of that Convention, we
urge his claims no longer, ~ Of course that body
will not nominate any one who will not submit
to ts decision. We have nm abiding confidence
in the Wing principles and honesty of old lack,
bu. then we are no, 30 much in favor Of those
principles that we shall rely upon the wisdom Of
the De ega,es who represent the Wing party in
Convention, and shall use out influence, feeble
rs it is, in favor Of that individual whom they
may nominate As the exponen, of those princ-
pies.

Mr.. L. \. Aubry, who left Independence
in March las, for Santa lie, has returned to
the inrmcr town, having sold out his entire
stock. He made the trip in eight days and
fen hours-as We learn from nm Eypostor
extra. Left Santa Fc on the 10Th May, and
arrived nj independence before sunrise on
the 2S,h. lilo killed three horses md two
mules OH the trip, walked forty miles, wus
three days without provisions, and slep,
only four hours and a half on the whole
route! lie averaged ono hundred and four
teen miles per day.
Col. Gilpin had encountcrcdn largo party
Of Cnmanchcs near tho Moro, who made
strenuous resistance until the Americans
charged upon them, when they precipi,alely
fed, leaving many Of their number dead
upon the field, aud the greater portion Of
their stock in tho hands Of The Americans.
There were only one or two Americans
killed, and very few wounded. Col. GiIpin
was still on the trail Of the Indians, and, il
was thought, would soon whip them into
terms.
All was quiet al Santa Fc; but on the
trace, the Indians tnking advantage Of
Gilpin's pursuit Of the Camn inches into their
own country, were gathering for pl1nder
They attacked Mr.. Aubry on his route in
