THE TAYLOR FEDERAL. CELEBRATION

THE TAYLOR FEDERAL CELEBRATION.
On Monday last, the Taylor FederaliSts of
Wilmington, celebrated the election of Gen
Taylor and MiI'arl Fillmore. The last Chron-
jcle gives a glowing acconn, of the ce ebration.
The Chronicle seems 10 be delighted at the
idea of the illumination of his office, and the
manner in which he was "cheered", To all
Of which he was duly entitled, considering
that Gen. Taylor is evidently deeply indebted()
to him the Chronicle for having been the
first Federal paper in this State which brought
his name before the people for the Presidency
However, respect rendered that can't we'll be
avoided is no respect At all The Chronicle
has published the inscriptions upon the trans
parencies, and we also place them upon re-
corI We hope the people will at least bear
some of them in mind, as 4 reference to them
may become requisite hereafter: Look Out
for squalls ahead The Chronicle says:
"Many of the inscriptions were peculiarly
appropriate and pointed, as these: i WILL

Opinions at the North.-The Christian Re.

from Boston to the New York Observer, in
which the prevalent feeling at the North ON
the subject of slavery is no doubt correctly

Our Southern friends ought to know the

MILITARY.

The 3Oth Regiment of N. c. Militia was
reviewed in this place on Tuesday last by
Brig. Gen. L. H. Marsteller and Staff, who
made their usual handsome appearance. The
officers all appeared in better plight than usual
and we are glad to say, upon the authority OF
the General himself, that there has been a
manifest Improvement in the discipline of both
officers and men.
The Clarendon Horse Guards turned out in
fine style, and had with them their new Bat
terry of Flying Artillery, and received the
Brigadier General and Staff, upon their arrival
on the field, with a salute of thirteen guns
The review took place about o'clock, and
the drill continued until 4, when the Regiment
preceded by the Clarendon Horse Guards
marched through several OF our prlnclpa
Streets, and were brought into line on Marke
Street, where the officers were addressed, in {
brief manner, by the Brgader General; pa
rade dismissed, and the General and Staff es
corted to their quarters by the Clarendon
Horse Guards.
The assiduity and perseverance Of Captain
Howard and The other officers OF the Guards
in procuring these pieces OF artillery, canno
be too highly praised, as they will prove yer,
efficient in time of need We would respect
fully suggest TO the Commissioners of tn
Town, the propriety of providing place 10
their security and preservation.
