CITY OF EVANSVILLE:
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE "a.
GEN. TAYLOR'S POSITION.

On the day after the reception here OF the
news ofGEN. TATLoR's nomination as the Peo-
Plies Candidate for the Presidency, we took oc-
easion to allude to the position before the
country which he hid from the first occupied,
as being the true one, calculated not only TO
draw TO his support every Wing but also many
Of the opposite party. We are glad to see
that the view we took of the matter is also the
view taken by all the Wing journals and BY
those papers which have heretofore not sided
with either party.
We do not consider, says the Baltimore
Clipper, that the nomination Of Gen. ylor by
the Wing National Convention, has altered his
position in the slightest degree, nor that it will
cause the least change in the principles upon
which he has avowed that he will conduct Of
fairs, should he be elected. He has candidly
stated that he is politically wing, not an ''ul-
ira whig"-but that as President, he will not
be bound by party tramples, but take the con-
stitution as his guide. Having been nomina-
ted for the Presidency BY the spontaneous ac-
tion of the people without distinction of party,
he accepted, and thenceforward considered that
he had no control over the subject, and no
right to withdraw-expressing willingness,
however, that his friends might act as they
pleased in respect to the continuance as a can
didate. He was put in nomination before the
Wing National Convention with a full knowl
edge Of his sentiments and determination The
Louisiana delegation referred to his position a,
candidate, and TO the fact that he did not con
slider himself at liberty to decline--but tina,
his friends in the Convention would of course
be bound to support the nomination which
might be made, and might throw him out Of
consideration if they thought proper. Unde
these circumstances, he became the nominee o
the convention, and now stands before tht
public as the candidate Of the people, approved
by the whig convention, and pledged to ad
minister public affairs, il elected, coGsistentl,
with the declarations heretofore made by him
He will take the great Washington as his mod
ell, and devote his time and talents exclusivel,
10 the promotion of the general welfare. I'm

ALMosrE.-The New Orleans Delta of the
18th says: eve referred, few days ago, to
the probable return of this distinguished Mex
lean, to this city, where he has many old friends
and acquaintance. la a conversation with
Senior Carena, we learn that Alrlonte was cleo
ted Senator from Morelia, but not being
present at the time appointed for the vertical
ton of his credentials, a new election was or
dered and his seat filled BY some other person.
The loss of The popularity of Almonte is at
tributable to the great hostility the priests
have always entertained for him, which has
been carried TO the extent that his birth The
was the son of the revolutionary priest More
los) has been proclaimed as curse of God and
he the offspring of the devil, begotten in viola
ton of Divine law. Almonte is true Re-
publican. His only sin has been his intimate
relations with Santa Anna, which. however,
have grown out of strong personal favors con-
lerred by the latter. and have not prevented
his frequent oppositions to the views and
measures of the great Mexican Chief. A long
residence in this country has made Almonte a
great enthusiast and devotee TO the Federal
system, the religious liberation and other pc
cuiarities of our Constitution. His vigorous
support Of these reforms in Mexico has attract
ed TO him the hostility and prejudice Of the
Church and the Army, the two great curses
the vultuies that prey upon the heart and vi
tails of Mexico. His identification with the
principles of the North American Republic,
deprived him of all power and influence, and
consigned him TO silence and inactivity du-
ring this VIII. He comes now TO the United
States 10 refresh his mind and reanimate his
courage and hopes to once more contemplate
the harmony, the beauty, the glorious energy
of our Republican system. May he on his re-
turn succeed in inspiring his countrymen with
an ambition to follow in Jour footsteps, and
restore the glory and happiness of Mexico
BY establishing her institutions on the firm
and permanent basis Of true Republican
ism.
