&Sns NAH1V80 %KM#EAA We are indebted ,o fsena for csry Of Gel. Newtcns circular toths psspse of Afkansss n which he announess himself ssaudBdasste te sspreseni ahsm in Congress.

Clay. he has fought suece ssfuIy io Tippaesnoe end Tyler too" and beea richly rewarded for his political IabOrs. Bat fhe tide is turning and because of the nonina- toa of Gen. Tsylee fov shs Presidency. the Cel Is stsaek with suddsa passioa for cutting all parties consequently wilh ss much aneOncern as he would shed an old ceas, he throws of bis whggsFy, cones out DO party man, and has sunk into . mere intriguer for democratic votes.
 Had Col Newton beesa member of the demo- cratic pary, there would at east be show of boa. essy iahls advocacy of DO pertyis, bat alra as he has proven himself in all ,hs Phases of whiggsr7. his sudden cooversion to such creed will be look ed aron ealy shallow attempt st polisiesl jug giing. We pity the Iafstuation Of any man who wii believe that democrat can be taken in by such bsreiacei uickerY.
 In hts circular the Col tells ns that sheSe is "wide and obvious difference" between the Peopie ard the politicians. between those who should dis pence the sFesls and these who Ieceive the@-~ He cIatms 10 be obe of Inc people, aud with vifuous indignation and pure pato,sm exposes the attempts of polaeisus and spois ssskys to eoslsve the peo- pie, Of whose rights he IS the peculiar defender. Every candidate is"oBe of the people" and Col. Newton informs us that he Is. But ihe insists that sAsrs are two psrties. one of which is composed of the people, the othes ef th. I.sIss.si.n. ssd eoe holders and that he does not belong to the latter class why all we have to say is that no amount of 'spoils" can make him 90. We do not wish to i'm. ply that Col Newton is not entirely worthy of the othces he has held but we do say that he has since he has lived here enjoyed some of the best and riches. ia he Slaie of .4rkansas; and iC to be the recipient of "spodsr cuts him cfF from the people, be has made small mistake in classing himself with the "dear ones' whose roles and Im- psnionship are now desirable.
 1 In relation to the Wiimot prcyiso so far as we can judge, the fresh candidate is ingeniously non commiitsl, and tha. our readers may not suppose that are aetuaed ia this decision by prejudice. or our own feelings of. opposition to the wiimet Proviso, extract that portion of his circular In which he ailudes 10 this anti slavery question: He says
 | "Durng my short service ia Congress, saw enough to fl me with apprehension and alarm for the future destiny of our Republic, and nothing has occurred sinre 10 lessen my fears. The ntroduc- ton of Inc Wiimet proriso. t is called, which was designed 10 be declaration on the part of Con- gress thst slavery should never exist Tn any terri tory hereafter to be acquitted by, or annexed to the 1 United Siates," was not sudden movement grow ing out of heated debate, but t the result of settled deter minson the part of the people the Free Sfotes no. only 10 stay forever the extension of slavery, but possibly 10 prepare the way for it's totat abolition. This is question of too momentnas import to be considered in party light and that man is no real friend to his country who would si tempt to turn fl to political account; Ii is one, how ever, for the serious consideration, reflection, and action of the people," II the Col in,imaies in this whether he is for or against the Wilmot Proviso whether 1t will inlurc or benefit the country we wish some one keener in such matters than ourself would show us where 1t is We regret that we cannot this week lay the whole circular before readers, ss think to the demo- cratic portion at least it would be interesfing It scouts democracy. pretend 10 discard whiggery, and presents, we presume, the adopted platform of Tayiorsm and the no-party men. It is.no doubt sdered by the authors well devised scheme. an ad mirably bsited hook to catch Democratic votes, but we very much mistaken if the people do rot see through it all and laugh at the shaIlowness of the artifice. We will take leave Of cur no party can. didae for the present, by commenting to his attention
 he following from prominent whig paper, the N. York Express:
 1 "Is it possible that General Taylor can see the
 Iotley crew that he s assembling about him for the Presidency There is not Tvier man from Tex as 10 Maine, that is no, Tayior man, too There IS not deserter from the Whigs or the Democrats, ! from Dan 10 Bersheba that is not Taylor man. Every thing that has been cast of. or kicked of, the two great parties of the country, as naturally clings to the skirts of Tayor's popularity. they cling to the skirts of Tsylor's power. We do mol mean to say that there may not he thousands who are not his iriends, and who would not be friendly to him a candidate for the Presidency but these men who howl for him, and who howl af. ter him, as a "NoParty Candidste." are the odds and ends, beyond all doubt of both parties resi. daum of what was left of their respective parties when they went through the process of boiling and purifoaton. Is Gen Taylor going to trust him self to found rar'y upon hem."
 We can add nothing to this.
