Gen. ,CnyIor $ IImnli,nity.

Courage and humanity are kindred
virtues. And with both oflhese qualities
Gen, TAYLOR is eminenrly endowed.-
Senator Clayton, in vindication Of Gen.
Taylor, said:--
81 say, therefore, that from the bottom
of my heart. thank the brave, generous
and merciful commander of the Amer.
can troops. | thank him, sir, not only
for his gullanlry and skill, his conduct
and bravery, but eminently and above all
other considerations, as an American
Senator, thank him for his humanity /!
| honor him because he thought of, and
spared, feeble and unoffending woman in
that houl of her utmost peril. | honor
him because he spared to,tcring age and
helpless infancy; and | glory that an
American General has shown himself
thus alive to the best feelings of the hu-
man heart"
The Albany Evening Journal adds, in
support of this eloquent tribune, a FACT
which goes to illustrate its truth and jus,
tice. The fact we now state was com.
municated to us by venerable Chaplain,
who was then attached to Gen. Taylor's
army, and the order TO which we refer
was given in his hearing.
After the battle of Buena Vista, Gen.
Taylor made his dispositions for the re.
newal of the conflict on the following
morning. But at the dawn of the next
day, Santa Anna was in full retreai.-
The American cavalry were despatched
in pursuit. Soon messengers returned
informing the General that the Mexi.
cans, broken and scattered, were in rapid
fight, but that the roads and the waysides
were strewn with exhausted, famished
and wounded soldiers, all of whom, in
the preci pitation of Santa Annals flight,
were left to die, without either food
water or medical attendants. Upon re.
ceiving this information, Gen. Taylor
Immediately ordered twenty wagons &c
be furnished with all that was required
for the relief of those whom the Mexican
General had left to suffer and die. These
wagons were promptly despatched, &C
companied by Surgeons who were di
rected to find and administer to all the
sufferers. And to the Quarter Master
who executed this order, Gen. Taylor
said: "Keep an exact account of every
article sent, so that if any doubt SHOULD
arise of thus relieving the enemy's woun
ded, can pay for them myself"

He Speaks Silent.

AT Cleveland, few days since, when
General Cass passed through that city
an attempt was made to obtain his present
opinions upon the improvement of Rivers
and Harbors and the Wilmot Proviso.
How it succeeded, the sequel will show.
In his reception speech Judge WooD
said:
Fellow CITlzENs,-I have the pleas
ure OF introducing 10 you Gen. Lewis
Cass, of Michigan, a candidate for the
highest office within the gift ofthe people.
Thenturning tothe distinguished guest:
Sir permit me on this occasion, to call
your attention to the fact, that our politi-
cal opponents declare that you are op.
posed to the improvement of our Wes-
tern Rivers and Harbors; and that we
have always met this declaration with the
assurance that Gen. Lewis Cass, as a
western man, was fully identified with
the interests ofthe West ,and could not be
opposed to the improvements so much
needed by the people of the West, and
of the whole country.
The people here assembled will with
the greatest pleasure now listen to any
communication which, sir, it may be yoar
pleasure to submit. Again, sir, extend
10 you the hospilalities of the city.
the Judge also referred to the charge,
which was made by his opponents, Of
being opposed to the Wimot Proviso.
Now hear the Generals reply:
"Sir the NOISE and CONFUSION ,UAicA
Percade this assembly V,H PREVENT
my being HEARD on tie important tap.
ics to which you hare called my attention.
My letter TO The Baltimore Convention
closed myPr@essions 9fprinciples"
The Judge, il is said, is full of fun, and
it may be that ne had disposition to place
tho Generalin an awkward position. Al
any rate his reply is equal to his letter tc
the Chicago Convention.
We are afraid that the "noise and con.
fusion" ofthe coming campaign will pre-
vent the General from being heard by the
people and that consequently they will
turn their attention to General Taylor
who when he speaks, is never at loss fol
an attentive audience.

quoting General Cass' old votes and
speeches to prove that he is in favor o.
the improvement of Rivers and Harbors
1t is in the same. way that he is proven ar

with which they receive the intelligence

From The Oneida New York Ivlic
A MODERN Janus.

One of the best known of the Roman
divinities was the god Janus, who was
endowed with two faces, one signifying
Peace and the other War, Gen. Cass
has entitled himself to the appellation OF
the modern Janus. 1t would he fortun.
ate for him if this peculiar quality of his
wus confined to peace and war. But he
is remarkable for exhibiting two faces on
most other subjects. His double aspect
on the Slavery question is of too recent
occurrence not to be well known. We
lately gave some specimens of his ccun,
tenance towards Louis Philippe and the
French revolutionists when the sun shone
on the former and tho latter we're in deep
darkness. Now that their positions are
reversed, the generals frowns and smiles
are also reversed. But TO substantiate
Gen. Cass' CLAIM to the niche of the Ro.
man deity, we submit the following ex-
tracts:
