An Anti-war Speech from Gen. Taylor
At complimentary dinner given him re-
Gently at Lafayette (La) Gen. Taylor Gas we
learn from the N. Orleans Delta of Jan ~
said "The valor of our troops had. under
the favor of Providence, crowned his efforts
with success but not to the extent he had
hoped for and most ardently desired. The
object nearest to his heart had been to bring
the war to a speedy termin ation-to restore
peace and amity between two neighboring re-
publics, who had every motive to cultivate
mutual good will, and whom he would much
prefer to see vieing with each other in the
arts of peace, than contending on the field Of
battle. He had always hoped and believed
that by that spirit of forbearance and maguani-
nifty which a great and powerful nation
should always practise towards a PROSTATE
enemy, peace might be restored on terms con-
sistent with the honor, the rights, and the
interests of both nations. In this, however,
he had been disappointed. He regretted that
circumstances, to which he would not then
advert, had deprived him of an opportunity Of
contributing more towards the accomplish
ment of this desirable result. This was not
an occasion to utter complaints he had sub
mitted, and would submit, without much COM
planning perhaps he had already said more
than was prudent"
What the Democrats in the Army think.
VIM. C. Tobey, Esq Pennsylvania volun-
teer, formerly warm supporter Of the Polk
administration, in arecent letter, writes in this
style:-
"Let not my brother Democrats. who have
not yet discovered who James X. Polk is, cavil
that should handle him like true Loco
Foco, without gloves. l do not kno,o demo-
cyat in the aohole army regular or voluntesr, WHO
DOES NOT ExEcRATE THE MAN AND HIS WAR
MEASURES. Should it ever be the privilege of
US here TO cast our votes again for President
of our Republic, am inclined to think that
we shall require more than the ipse dirit of
Baltimore Convention to control our saffrages.'
We learn that-Haskell, Wing aboli-
zionist has been chosen Representative in the
Golden Ridge district heretofore represented
by Mr.. Parker. sl.f.
In Brewer and Orrington, ---Hart, Loco
was chosen on Monday last. There are about
900 voters in the district and there were about
800 at the polls.-Bangor Wing
After mentioning the election of Cap. Rus
sci Hart from Brewer, the Argus says:
John F. Thombs, Esq, [democrat) of Elliots-
vile, is elected from that district. This is
also gain.
