Aid and Comfort-An Editor immortal
iZeds

At a recert public meeting in Mexico, a
Young Mexican offered the following resolu-
ton, whichwas unanimously adopted.
Resolred, That nothing is wanting on cur
part but united energy to drive back the blood
thirsty invaders-led on as they are, by generals
as far b eneath our own great commander in
military talent, as in all other qualities which
command the admiration of men.
The Mexican made a long speech in sup
port of the resolution, dcnouncing our gene
rails as utterly ignorant of the science OF war;
in the course OF his remarks he read several
extracts from a greasy file of the Vicksburg
j. Sentinel, TO show, as he said, the home opln'
ion of the American Generals. One OF these
extracts set forth that Scltt was a !" thick
skulledn old blunderor, and another that the
people of the United States could never have
onv confidence in Taylol's generalshiP. Tit
reading of these was received with hearty
cheers, for their writer; but the applause wa.
absolutely deafning when the following eztrac
from tho same paper was read, to SLOW tn

The JARRA TREE.-This extraordinary tree
grows to a size that would appear incredible
to readers in England. 1t is perhaps only man
ageable and remunerative from forty to sixty
feet; but in the southern districts Of the colo
ny, especially to the back of Nornalup and
Wilson's inlet, it is found growing to 100 to
l50 feet in height, before the first branch APP
pears. My brother and his servant; when ex-
ploling in that district, took refuge once from
a storm in the hollow of an old jarrn tree,
which not only sheltered themselves but their
horses, and the interior actually measured in
diameter, three times the length Of the largest
horse, an animal sixteen hands high and very
long backed. This may appear an astounding
assertion, but the following is not less So

felt.i in this country to see how the late occur

following:
England waits with her arms folded, in deep
and anxious alarm, for the next scene OF this
&" strange, e%ventful history"
1t could be scarcely anticipated but that the
great movement which has convulsed France
should have been felt, in some degree, IN the
British Islands.
In London, a tri1ing disposition to riot was
experienced in the early part of the week, but
the disorderlies were confined to mlschievous
bows and citizens out of employment, Order
was speedily restored.
In Glasgow the tumults were serious, and
several persons were unfortunately shot by the
military. The rioters in that city were merely

CANTON, MISSISSIPPI, SATURDAY, APRIL rs, ls4s.

TAYLOR MoyEMENTs.-Popular movementsln
every direction indicate that the People have
determined to think for themselves, with res
pect to the Presidential election, and to express
a preference for General Taylor as their can
didate, regardless Of the action OF c%aucuses
and conventions Of ofice-see kers.
The Charleston, S. c.. papers, without dis
%tinction Of party, have declared for him, as
the only man calculated to restore peace, uni
ty and harmony to the whole Union, or to give
dignity and energy to the administration Of
the Government hereafter. The warm friends
Of MIR. Calhoun are strong advocates of Gen.
Tavlor's election.
In Missouri, public demonstrations in every
part of the State indicate Gen. Y. asthe first
choice of her citizens.
In Maryland, as we mentioned in our last
number, the Independent Taylor party bids fair
to break down both the old political parties
and to render the people almost unanimous in
their choice of the old Hero. In addition to
this, the Wing State Central Committee, at q
recent meeting at Baltimore have adopted re-
solution declaring Gen. Taylor their frs
choice for the Presidency.
In North Carolina, a large majority OF mem
E bers of the Wing State Convention have ex
: pressed a preference for Gen. Taylor as thel
/; Presidential candidate, and at the recent Win
is State Convention in Virginia, the delegate
adopted a resolution nominating him for tn
Presidency by a vote Of 81 to IS.
ID These movements Of Wing Conventions II
lie dictate that Gen. Taylor will in all probablllt

ton for the Presidency. In fact the current
Ell public opinion sets SO strongly in his favor til
