STORY OF A SAILOR.

Four years ago left the port OF Boston,
the master of fine ship, bound for China.
| was worth ten thousand dollars, and was
the husband Of young and handsome wife,
whom had married but six months before.
When left her promised tie return to her
in less than a twclvcmonth. | took all of
nv money with me save enough 10 support
nv wife in my absence, for the purpose of
trading when in China, on my own account.
for a long time we were favored with pIos-
porous winds, but when in the China seas
a terrible storm came upon US, so that in
short time saw the vessel must be lost, for
we were drifting IN the rocks ofan unknown
shore. | ordered the men TO provide each
for himself in chest possible manner. and
forget the ship, rs it was an impossibilitv to
save her. We struck-a sea threw me up
on the rocks senselcss, and the next would
have carried me back into 4 watery grave,
had not one of the sailors dragged me furh-
cr upon the rocks. There were only fou:
of us alive, and, when morning came, we
found that we were on a small unlnhabited
Island, with nothing to eat but the wild fruit
common 10 that portion of the earth. |
will not distress you by an account Of our
su(Terings there suffice it to say that we re-

GEN. TAYLOR,S OPINION

GEN. TAyLoR.-"/ hare not had time
10 form political opinions." an no case
can Ipermt myself to be the candidate of
""y party, or yield mysey TO any party
schemes"
"Iam a moderate rhig."
81 am whig, and quarter orcr."
The lst. ID and Sd declarations are ex-
tracts from Gen. rs letters; the 4th is
from Col. Haskell of Tennessee, who pro-
tcsses to speak by authority. Maj. John
L. Gaines says:
''As to Gen. Taylor being a wing, he
talks like whig, he looks like wing, and
he talks more like whig than pig
can Squeal like 0pig. am considered at
home HIGH PRIEST ofUhig princi-
pies, and Gen. Taylor is AS AM"
Upon which of these statements shall we
rely? In the name of sense what is a wing
a person who has had no ''time to form po-
litical opinions" who can't permit himself
TO be the candidate ofthe party-is mod
crate Wing, and Wing and quarter,-
who walks like a Wing, and talks like q
Wing more than pig can squeal like a
pig. Will not people possessed of intelll-
genQe and self respect put the seal OF repro
baton upon those who insult them with
such nonsense. Such stuff might suit the
nursery, but surely it must be offensive to
men.

Another Base slander Rofutod.

A story has been fabricated by some bnsG
and dshonornbIe enemy Of General Taylor,
Tint no was an owner ofu large tract ofIaud
in tho disputed territory, between tho Nue.
COS and the Rio Grnndo, and that Inc had re-
Gently sent an agent to Washington to pur-
chase negroes 10 stock il.
This false allegation has also been indus
riously and widely circulated in abolition,
Locofoco, and other papers that affect to
DO so scrupuousy conscientious in regard to
their political action. From the fact thai
there has been no authorized contradiction Of
these stories, many honest minded people
have no doubt, been dcluded into belief Of
their truth It gives us pleasure, therefore,
to learn from the Cincinnati Gazette, Thurs
day morning last, that Col. Mitchell, ofthar
city, wrote to Con. Taylor several weeks
since, referring 10 the allegation, and nquir-
Ing as TO its truth. We annex the reply. 1t
puts this vile SANDER at rest, MS an unmitga-
ted faschood Read and judge -

1t Don't go Down.

The Hcrl,imer, N, Y Freeman, a Liberty
party paper, says
Given Martin Van Buren,, who 'is now be-
come the Ajax lebanon OF the Barnburners,
uubInshingIy procIaims his hostility to the
Abolition of Slavery in the District Of Colum-
bia, and thinks 1t "a source OF consolation thal
he formerly acted so basely a9 nc d'o against
tho abolitionlsts and their cause
And the same paper proceeds to say; awe
would rs readily cooperate with John G. Cal
houn.'
From this we discover sign that some OF
tho Liberty party do not fancy the "borgan
and sale" to Van Burcnsm, by their leaders,
at the Buffalo Convention.

A Coon IpEA. Tho Rcv Charles W. Up,
ham. of salem, Ms, in recent address in Thai
town, remarked as follows
"Thc triumph of Gen. Taylor w'Il not ,'''
minoto in him, but win carry with it the e''''
,or or his successors, from THE PATHoT'iFom
the FREE STATES, whether from the East or
West, whoever he may be, whose genius ",''

rul and admiring people to tho Presidency III

The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1848-08-19

1-rTho story that Gen. Taylor has said his
sirnol Icttcr was not to be construed so as to
be understood that he would not veto WI
mot Proviso Bill, is the same piece with INC
story that he sent $40 or $4,000 to Washing
ton to buy slaves to stock plantation on the
Rio Grunde-a mere fabrication.

FOR SIGN4TOR ESSEN COUNTY,

An United States Senator

Is to be elected at the next session of the
Vermont Legislature Mr. Upham's term cH.
pirce on the 4lh of March 124o Let this cir
cumstancc be remembered by the Wings, and
let there be no disunion among them in respect
to Representatives and Senators. There will
he all sorts of tricks put in execution by our
opponents TO divide the wings and draw them
off, upon false prctcNts, that they may secure
the Senatorial Office. Look out for all such
manoeuvrcs-Ict there be no divisions.
QTThc Tribune thinks Van Burcn will get
about 100, 900 votes in New York This is less
than ono fourth part Of the vote of the State;
and, giving Caes, IH5,C00 will leave Taylor
100000 or over, and of course the electoral
vote Of lhc State, as the Journal Of Commerce
estimates, by some 100000 plurality. If the
! Liberty party stick to the bargain and sale of
themselves, by their leaders, TO the ''Northcrn.
man with Southern principles, then Vun Blu.
rem may possibly go up TO 10000
Why DoN'r THEY Buy; The Editor Of tho
Windsor Journal says" Being in the interior
of the County, the other day, we made some
inquiries in regard to Wool among the farm
crs; and without exception, they told one sto.
ry--thnt their wool was unca'lcd for at any
price. viii the friends OF the Tariff of At
make an cXplanntion''
And why do not some of those Locofocos
who bought wool and paid 10 cents or more
a pound for it under the Wing Tariff, (ant
made money out of it at that) buy up the WOO
now, as they can, at 10 cents in pound less
Why do not the Locofoco manufacturers (ont
there are many of them) send their agents n
mong the farmers? There is wool to any n
mount FOR which the owners want cash. viii
the advocates of the Locotoco tariff answer?
