LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLoR.-Col. A. M.
Mitchell, of Cincinnati, has received and caused
to be published the following letterfrom Gen.
Taylor The General notonly says hei Wing,
but that he has no desire to conceal the fact
from any portion of the American people
the letter, however, will speak for itself:
BATON ROUGE, La, Feb. II. 1913.
My Dear COlonel:-Your very kind commu-
nication, and the accompanying newspaper,
have duly reached me.
In reply to the closing remarks of your let
ter. have no hesitation in stating, as have
stated on former occasions, that l am Wing,
though not an ultra one; and that haze no de-
sire to conceal this fact from any portion of the
people of the United States. deem it but can
did, however, to add, that If the Wing party
desire at the next Presidential election, to cast
their votes for me, they must do it on their
own responsibility, and without any pledges
from me. Should be elected to that office, /
should deem it to be my duty, and should most
certainly claim the right, to look to the Consti-
tuition and the high interests of our common
country, and not to the principles of party,
for my rules of action.
With my sincertst thanks for your express
sion of friendship, and my bestwishes for your
success thro' life, | remain, very truly, your
friend and ob't serv't, z. TAYLOR.

TIE TELEGRAPH.-The whole line of Tele-
graph between Buffalo and Detroit is now com
pleted, and in full connection with the Tele-
graphic world. as promised by Mr.. O'Rielly
including the line from Pittsburgh via Wells
vile to Cleveland. This 'Lake Erie Line
forms total of nearly 600 miles.
There was some talk short time ago, about
trying to get branch line to this place, con-
Meeting with Vincennes, but we believe it has
died away. 1t would no doubt be a benefit to
our merchants to have an office here, but it could
be no benefit to the printer. With their pres
ent patronage, and we fear with all the patro-
mage that gould be given - them in case the
line was extended to this place, the press would
not be able to touch the Telegraph ''with ten
foot pole" When boats can run at all we are
always within twenty hours of Louisville, and
through that source receive intelligence from
the East in forty-eight hours.

O-The correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, under date of the 9th ult., gives the pub
lie the following information as to how the
treaty stands. and who are likely to oppose it:
Mr. Buchanan is supposed to be opposed to
the treaty. and as far as he goes againstit Gen.
Cass will; but both together, it is supposed,
will be whipped in, under the belief, 1t is
thought that no candidate for the Presidency
can succeed if he quarrel with the Administra-
ton. Mr. Cass is nevertheless opposed 10 the
treaty in some respects.
As the treaty now stands. the following
Wings are supposed to be against it:-Bald-
win, Bell, Berrien, Clark, Corwin, Davis, (of
Massachusetts, Dayton, Johnson, (of Louisi-
ana,) Miller, Phelps, Sprague, Upham, and
Webster.
The above are, 1 believe, opposed to the
principle of indemnity.
Among the Democrats, there are but seven
or eight who will oppose the treaty.
Mr. Niles will 60 against it if Mr.. Benton
does.
The principle objection on the part of the
Democrats is the care that is taken in the trea-
ty of the British Interests in California and
Texas.
The Mexican Empressario grants in Texas,
prior to 1916, amount to great many millions
VI oSiSo, anu WCiC Ca pACooly uCNioiCO nun
void by the Legislature of Texas, and Texas as
Gar as that point is concerned, will never con-
sent to such stipulation.
The archives of California, which have been
examined by Mr.. Benton, in the testimony in
the Fremont case, which has come before him
as chairman of the committee recently appoint
ed for that purpose, will show that about 3d.
100000 acres are decided away. principally or
altogether to British subjects. This is another
point that will be objected to, as also the arti-
Gle which gives up the custom-houses to the
Mexican government Immediately after the ex-
change of affiliations.
On all these points have reason to believe,
however, that the President is willing to allow
the Senate the largest liberty. Indeed he is
himself opposed to some if not all of their pro-
visions, though imagine he is wiIIing to ac-
ccpt the adUice of the Senate avhuteuer it may

TAYLOR STATE CONVENTION OF LOUISIANA
The proceedings of this body were harmonious
and enthusiasticin high degree. We have
not room for the entire proceedings, but we
give below the "declaration" submitted by
Judge Billiard, and the closing acts of the Con-
vention:
The State Convention of delegates selected
by the people of Louisiana in their primary as
semblies, without regard to party distinctions,
assembled at New Orleans this 22d day of Feb
ruary, lS40, with view of selecting a candi-
date for the sutfrages of the people at the APP
preaching Presidential election.
Considering that the period has arrived when
1t becomes the people to actindependently and
tor themselves in designating a candidate for
the highest Office in their gift, who shall com
bine those great qualities of prudence, firm
ness, impartiality, and d. votion to the consti-
tuition. which will Insure to the people an hon
est and patriotic administration of the public
affairs, for the good of the whole rather than
for the exclusive benefit of the few
And considering, that, in their judgement,
General Zachary Taylor possesses, in al emn-
ent degree, those qualities exhibited and PROV
ed IN long career of public usefulness, during
all which, forgetting himself, he has looked on
ly to the honor, prosperity, and glory of his
country, and has thereby given the safest and
best pledge OF his future course, in whatever
position the partiality of his countrymen NAV
place him, untrammelled by mere party ties,
asking no favor and shrinking from no re-
sponslbllity. Warned as they are, at the same
time, by the voice of the Father of his Coun-
Try. on the annlve rsary of his birth day, to be-
ware OF party rancour as dangerous to public
liberty
Thereby decree, in the name of their consti-
tuents, that they nominate Gen. Zachary Tay-
lor as candidate for the Presidency of the
United States for the next constitutional term.
And the members of this convention, for the
reasons set forth in this declaration, pledge
themselves to support this nomination with all
their influence, and by every honorable means
Mr.. S. J. Peters, Esq, offered the following
preamble and resolution, which was adopted
Whereas, as 1t is important that the person
elected Vice President of the United States
should entertain sentiments in harmony with
those OF our candidate, by which efficiency
may be assured liz the administration of our
national affairs by Gen. Taylor, therefore.
RGSoLUed, That this convention will vote for
no one for eiector of President or Vice President
without satisfactory pledge that such elector
will vote for Vice President of the United
States, who himself shall be friendly to Gen
Taylors election.
The delegates of the several districts then re-
ported the namesOf the electors selected, which
were confirmed by the convention unanimous
~.
Immediately after the confirmation Of these
motion was made to adjourn.
which was carried and the convention broke
UP with cheers for Gen. Taylor. !

Mr.. CLAY AT BALrIMoRE-The Hon. HEN
RY CLAY arrived at Baltimore, from Washing
ton, on the evening of the 23d ult. the Clip
per of the next morning gives the following
rather amusing account of his reception.
ARRIVAL OF THE Hon. HENRY CLAY-This
distinguished Statesman arrived in the CITY
about O'Clock last evening, by the Washing
ton train of cars, on his way to Philadelphia.
An Immense crowd of persons had assembled
at the Pratt ST. depot to see and welcome him;
the whole interior of the building oeing filled
to repletlon. So soon as the cars came in, and
II was known which one contained him. a ire
mendous rush was made for it, and it was
some time before room could be made to admit
OF his egress. As soon as he made his appear
ance on the platform, he was greeted with deaf
enlng cheers, TO which, with his hat off, he
bowed his acknowledgements After some
time, he succeeded in reaching the street, &C
companied by his friend, Christopher Hughes,
Esq, who had his private carriage in waiting,
when he got in and drove off, with nine more
cheers from the crowd, which now filled the
street.
Arrived at Mr.. Hughes residence on St
Pauls street, the crowd which had followed on
congregated in front of the dwelling and amid
CollStdHl anu lOuu cheers Cdlleu IOr Mr. Clay 10
make his appearance. After short delay an
upper window was thrown open and Mr. Clay
made his appearance, greeted by tremendous
cheering, When silence was with difficulty
restored. he said
Gentlemen, want to know what you are
making all this noise about?"
ave wanted to see you," and loud cheers
was the response.
A voice in the crowd-''You are that same
old coon yet"
Mr.. Clay" Exactly am that same old
COON"
Loud cheers again, and laughter.
Mr.. Clay-''Gentlemen now | will make a
with you-if you will let me alone,
will let you alone"
He here withdrew amid the most vociferous
and the window was closed The
crowd, satisfied at seeing and hearing ''that
same old coon" retired.
Mr.. Clay looks exceedingly well, and his
voice was as clear and firm, as we ever recol-
lect to have heard it. He will leave the city
in the o'clock train of cars, this morning for
Philadelphia.

Mr.. Polk A CANDIDATE.-Potomac writes
from Washington to the Baltimore Patriot, on
the 26th ult.. thus:
Mr.. Polk, l am informed BY Locofoco men,
Der of Congress, is candidate for reelection,
in right down good earnest, and is vain enough
like John Tyler, 10 absolutely believe he can
succeed
To gentleman, who was urging him to it, a
short time since, he replied, as my informant
says, that 1t was true, what had been done,
could. he supposed, be done again, II did beat
Mr.. Clay" was his sage commentary, with
shrug OF The left shoulder He further said as
am informed, that the Democratic party start
ed out for Oregon and Texas only. But, said
he, We have not only got them both, but you
now see we have California.
Another Locofoco member of Congress, thus
has delivered himself: well, sirs. we are to
be beaten, and who so fit for our candidate, to
be beaten with, as James K. Polk? am for
running him."
You will recollect. that from the day of his
Inauguration, l have ever asserted, that Mr.
Polk was making everything bend. TO the ac-
complishment of single end, to wit; his re
election. So. what is now transporting in the
matter; is not all new.

hard hit in quiet kind to way to such sheets
as are conducted in the spirit of the Cincinnati
Atlas:
CONCEIVABLE ANxIETY.--The Locofocos
throughout the whole country are very fearful
lest in electing Gen. Taylor the people should
make President whose principles are not
known. Tell the Locofocos that Taylor is firm
and honest; oh yes, but what does he think of
the Sub-Treasury. Tell them tha Taylor can
not be overawed by power nor made 10 say or
do any thing which is wrong; very true, say
the Locos, but how about the Tariff What
can be safer than elections good citizens? that's
all well enough, but what does your candidate
think about national bank, replies the Loco
Now, we think that Gen. Taylor labors under
the old fashioned deLusion, called de nocratic
in days gone by-that the representatives of
the people, when assembled i'll Congress, should
pass bills TO meet the views and interests OF
theirconstituents,a land that the President should
sign them, and that he is but the executive Off

This was democratic doctrine in the time of

liev that Gen. Taylor is good old fashioned

times? Now, then, says the Herald. General
Scott, in making this peace, in putting an end
to this war, you punished the President for his
