Movements OF tho AbolltIonists.

We expected no support from these rebrands for the
Baltimore ticket But we infer, from further develop
ments of their designs, that Gen. Taylor has little to
expect from their cooperation. Notwithstanding he has
carefully lodged the Wot Proviso, and seems have
screened his opinions behind the "Sgna letter, and to
have surrendered the right of resisting it by abandoning

letter from Mexico.

"Mustang," the army correspondent of the
New Orleans Delta, under date of City ofMex-
leo, AprilS, communicates some interesting
particulars of affairs in Mexico. Mr. Trist left
the City on the 9Th accompanied by an escort.
Gen. Cadwalader, being refused leave Of abb
sence resigned his commission. Other officers
of the volunteers are doing the same. "Mus-
tang" says:
"Last night about twenty soldiers and team
sters deserted, taking with them the best hors-
es they could lay their hands on, together with
their full arms and equipments II is suPpos-
ed, with good reason, that their object il to
form bandtt, for the purpose Of plunderng
the highway, the haciendas, and the churches
of the small towns We learn that there is
already band of American descrters and fol-
lowers of the army, to the number of about
100, now organized uad operating in this way.
Active measures have been taken to ferret
them out, but as their places ofrendezvous are
in the mountains, they will be hard to break
up, as party large enough to destroy them
could not move as fast as they can,and small
party they would be able TO defeat, for there
are some very desperate men among them"
These proceedings do not look much like
ciUaizing and cLriSfi2nising Mexico by con.
quest. This has been y potent argument
welded by the friends Of the war, and in JUS
tifcation of its barbarous character.
The primary elections, says the writer in
question, took place in the State of PeubIa ON
Sunday-and the vote was for a President,
Senate and Deputies favorable to peace. 9th
er elections all over the country, where new
elections have been holden, have resulted in
favor of the peace party. The $3.50 100000 we
are TO pay the Mexicans as condition fpeace
are working wonders with that poverty strick-
en- people.
The writer further snys:-the opinion gen.
orally prevails that the Mexican Congress will
agree to the treaty as amended by the Senate
so soon as Commissioner Sewer reaches Que
retaro to make known officially the character
of the changes.

Gen. Taylor.


The letter which publish today, written
by Gen. Taylor as an expose of his political
opinions, is much more definite than any we
have before noticed from the same source
There can be no mistaking his political views
they arc not at all locofoco. "Rough and
Ready" is a Republcan-he goes against the
frequent use of the veto power $50 common of
late with the patent democrats) and yields
some awthority TO the voice of the people as
declared by their Representatives.
Gen. T. is not our man for n candidate for
the Presidency, yet we cannot in truth say his
letter is not good one-clear and sound upon
the points he touches upcn-and had he gone a
sttle farther and expressed himself clearly on
another important point-hostity to the ex-
tension ofslavery, the Wings would not have
HleGitnted to have given to the letter their APP
provd.
Another letter appears from Gen F., and is
published in the papers, dated four days pre-
'viously 10 the one found in our columns today,
'in>w'hich he says lac does not design to with
draw as a candidate for the Presidency, pro-
vidcd Mr. Clay should be the nominee of the
WING Convention. He further says that tho
election Of another candidate than himself will
occasion him no modification.

Our Rail Road.

Our Rail Road goes on well-in perfect har-
mony with the previous intentions and the
present wishes of the Directors and Stock
holders The rails have been contracted for
at advantageous rates (some $50 per ton less
than was paid by the Northern Railroad Com
pany for their rails) and are to be delivered in
August, we believe.
The stockholders pay up their assessments
with unprecedented promptness;and the stock
is not found around the market places and beg
ring for bidders at the auction boards. 1t is
held as good and safe, and with undated con-
fdence in its productiveness.
The winter was n bad one for the contractors
at certain points. They had several heavy
stone abutments to build, the stone for which
was necessarily brought from New Hampshire
over the river upon the ice. The river did not
freeze over until late in the season, andG some
delay in the stone work was the consequence
Over these bridges large quantities of earth
for filling ravines, must be transported and the
greatest efforts are now put forth to accom-
plish these jobs, and with the expectation and
hope that no delay may eventually result from
the unpropitious winter,
We hear that the work at all points is now
prosecuted with the utmost vigor. All right
we are on tiptoe for n ride over the first forty
miles of the Connecticut and Passumpsic Riv
ers Railroad. The next time we go through
New Hampshire we want to set out and go by
Railroad power, lest we should be ''jugged'
with their clerical felons, upon some malicious
allegation offilling up mud-holes on the Yer
mont side of the Connecticut River.

ell in that instrument, it is understood that
the Chariists aim at the overthrow OF the
Crown md the House of Lords the dissolu.
ton of the connection between Church and

is to believe that the middle classes, the yeo-
inanry, aud the arislocracy, as we'll as the mr.

The agitation of this subject, and the evils

fruits of the Mexican war--a war commenced
