FELoS EMIGRANTs TO TIE UNITED STATES.
1t appears from an article IN the London
Times, that an association exists in that city,
ahose object it is to further the emigration OF
convicis to the United States. The association
has fund to be applied to the payment OF the
passage of such persons as can shew that they
have been guilty of some felonions act lndl
viduaIs of fair character are excluded from all
benefit Of this fund.- Mr.. Jackson is at the head
Of this association. and is charged with Offering
every facility for the transportation OF criminals
TO this country. The London Times objects to
the proceeding, because it is unjust to the peo.
ple of the United States, and because il has the
tendency to increase crime in England, as 1t
will induce many persons to commit Offences,
for the purpose of obtaining free passage TO the
| United States.
Mr.. Van Buren,, when President, caused an
investigation into the subject of felon emgra'
ton to be made by the American Consul; the
result of which was, that the most positive evi'
dence was obtained, that in some parts OF the
continent criminals were sentenced to he trans
ported to the United States, and that the prac
tce was very general, for paupers and criminals
TO be sent out here at the expense of The local
authorities. Notwithstanding these facts are
notorious, no effort deserving notice. has been
made to prevent this infamous abuse OF hospl.
| taly--and this country is made the great lazar
and depot Of criminals for the world. Unless
the general and local authorities OF the United
States take effective measures TO prevent The de.
SIGNS of The London association from being
practically carried out, and to prohibit pauper
and ielon emigration from all quarters, we shall
have an infusion of corruption and villiany into
the society of this country destructive of public
morals and ruinous to The general welfare.

JOHN Mitchell. We learn from correspondent
that person who was steward over some public
works in Bermuda, arrived in this city on Tuesday.
When he left Bermuda, about ten days since, Mitchell
was we'll, and had certain limit which he could
walk for the benefit of his health. He still wears
his own clothes, and is not asked to work and is
treated, in every respect, like gentleman consistent
with his safe keeping. No one is allowed to speak
to him, and all Irish not in the army, and who held
civil situations under the British government, have
been dismissed, and strict supervision kept all
Irish who reside on the island. This wholesale dis
missal of the Irish, was the cause why the infor-
mant of correspondent left Bermuda. Mr.. Mitch
el is allowed books, but neither pen nor paper. His
feelings cannot ofcourse be ascertaned but he does
not look at all detected. No doubt he is buoyed up
with the strong hope of his country's freedom and
his own release. . N. Y. Herald.

GEN. TAYLoR's REQuEsr OF SECRECY. The re-
quest of Gen. Taylor in his letter to the Baltimore
Independents, to keep it secret is thus spoken of BY

"The public will hardly fail to mark the shameless
attempt deceive the country involved in Gen. Tay
lors request that his reply to this question and oth9rs
vealed to the people, whose votes he seeks It is
hard to- aell whether the federal press in claiming
him to be frank, straightforward, and without con-
cealments exhibits more mendacity than is apparent
in his undiguised effort to obtain the control of the
government by deceiving portion of the people
as to his views, position and intentions.
While his no-party friends are highly honored in
being selected to be the repositories Of the secret of
his political intentions, question whether his ex-
traordnary confidence in them will go very far to-
wards rsconciling the Wings principle to give
him their ballots.' 80

The New Orleans Courier has proposed a method
to head General Taylor. Finding that his friends
were playing fast and ose-n the north, holding him
up as Wilmot-provis man, because he was anti
veto; and in the south crying him an extension
st of slavery because he holds 200 slaves-lt pro
poses that the next meeting, whig democrtic that
is held in New Orleans, shall appoint committee
to address Gen. Taylor this subject, and require
of him to state in plain, broad, unmistakeabie angu-
age his real sentiments respecting the Wllmot Fro
viso.'b The experiment is worth trying, although
we scarcely expect boldness enough from the whIg
candidate to answer plain and direct question
Certain it is that in his last published letter to Mr.
McConkey, of Ohio, he positively declined to answer
a similar question, or indeed any other.
The country will see how the two nominees and
their parties stand. -.. -...
General Taylor evades any answer on the Wllmot
Proviso. Gen. Cass has bravely and frankly defined
his position in his Nicholson letter. He will veto
the Wilmot Proyiso. We are almost certain that
Gen. Taylor will not. ..l-.s.
Only one whig senator north of Delaware voted tor
the compromise. The rest of the northern wings Will
stick to the Proviso.
Not northern whig in the House of Representa-
tives voted against laying the bill on the table; and
eight southern wings voted and carried this most DIS
astrous motion. ..r. -.
Every southern democrat voted against defeating
the bill, and many Of the Dobleminded northern demo-
cFatS voted with them s1s i.gz z3..- 7s1.b

Easily PLEASED. Mr.. Badger voted against the
compromise bill the slavery question, and the whg
papers of North Carolina think it all right. Mr.
Mangum voted for the compromise, and they have no
Gus time in politics. Messrs. Mangnm and Badger
are true representatives of Taylorism. One voted
for the treaty and the other against one voted for
the Clayton compromise and the other against it. So
that North Carolina whigism can be quoted either

letter to the Independent Taylorists of Maryland,
shadow of authority for their conduct in the Phade-
phia Convention; but as the pledge had been made,
he did not think proper to dsavow them and desired
his letter not to be published. We do not know how
true this statement is, but it is made in several quar-
ters and the fact will probably draw the letter
publication, if there is any Misrepresentation in the
statement. Ball. .4rgus. =

Regarding the above statement as reliable, it will
seen that the clear Democratic gain is six, leaving
but three more to gain to the Legislature to
the Democrats joint ballot. We may have lost
one member in Rutherford, but we hope we have
gained in Surry and Ashe, in Carteret and JONES' in
Haywood, Macon, and Cherokee, and in Buncombe.
Ia our next we shall doubtless be able to furnish
raiders with the full result.
