Mr.. EDITOR will you allow a Wing,

municate few plain thoughts respecting the
nomination OF Gen. Taylor for the Presidency

at the nomination. Anterior to the Philadel
phia Convention, thought the Wings still
cherished those principles for which they had
battled and contended for years, but now
frankly acknowledge that was mstake en-
They care nothing for their political principles,
as every candid Wing must admit
Gen. Taylor said he would accept a nomi-
nation from either Democratic or Wing
National Convention, or from both. He also
says that he is 4 Wing, but not an ultra Wing.
Now, ask, is there sane man in North
Carolina or elsewhere, who does not know
Gen. Taylors object for expressing himself in
this manner? BY presenting his name thus
to the people of the United States, he thought
he would secure the entire Wing strength,
and some OF the unwary Democrats, and be
elected President of the United States; but
so sure as he lives till the 7th of Novem-

will not 60 for him. The citizens of the Old
North State are not so ignorant and benighted
as to be guIeI by Taylor f Iitors and Taylor
Orators, who tell them that Gen. Taylor is a
good Wing, and will carry out Wing princi-
Piles if elected President. But these are un-
supported assertions, as every rational man
knows. To assert, and TO prove, are very
different Many Wings in this part of the
State, will not vote for Gen. Taylor. They
consider his nomination an indignity to the
Wings of the Union.
predict, Mr. Editor, and ask you to mark
my prediction, that the Democrats will have
majority in both branches of our next Legis-
Iatue, and that David S. Reid will beat Charles
Manly for Governor.
In conclusion, candor compels me TO say
that if live till the 18th of November, shall
not only not vote for Taylor, but shall vote
against him. | intend 10 vote for Gen'l Cass.
A WING, BUT NOT TAYLOR WIG.
From the New Orleans Delta. June IS.
From Ncrico-A Mexican gentleman now
in this city, whose means of obtaining lntor
nation from Mexico are of the first order, fur
nishes US with the following items Of news
from that republic.
The State of Tabasco is harassed with In
dian Instruction, the object of which is the
determination Of the people, of reason, and
civilization. Emigration has commenced, and
panic terror has taken possession Of the white
race Poor Tabasco! She is following the
same track as Yucatan.
| At Vera Cruz, a representation has been
made to the Government, praying that, on no
consideration, the troops OF the line be permit
ted to enter that city, offering TO protect the
coast with the National Guard, which is not
yet organized.
In the City of Mexico, horrible ostracism
prevails, and it appears that open discord
reigns there, menaCing the Cabinet of Herrera
with speedy fall.
The protest against the Treaty OF Peace
made by the Deputies of Tamaulipas, New
Leon, and other States, to the number OF nIne'
has been adopted with ardor by the people -
This proves that the period is not remote when
Mexico will be dismembered into small Repub-
lies.
Paroles is progressing, and the lovers of the
Republican system favor the fall Of the pres
ent Government. Paroles will Overurn Her.
rera, and the result will be, as before, the res
toraton Of Santa Anna as Dictator.
These and other subjects, which cannot be
dilated on, without evaporation, are sufficient
to melt to commisseraton the most determined
enemy of the country.
