TAYLOR AND TYLER. We hear that there is a Fay
lor association in this city, at the meetings of which
John Tyler, the Ex-President has occasionally ass
sisted. The person who Presides over this assoca-
ton is said to be jeremiah Towle or Tool who was
Naval Officer in the New York Custom House under
Mr.. Tyler, and who distinguished hmselfin that post
by his incapacity. . - the.lsa. - fssEs
The bills of this footed, it is said, by
broker in Wall street. Their meetings held
where up town. We may imagine what political
association must be, which has jeremiah Towle at its
head. It is unlucky for General Taylor, that he
should have such friends thought to tell the truth, he
is not to blame for the vernin which fasten them
selves on his skirts ". Y. Epe Post.
New STATES. Besides the new States to be carv-
ed out of Mexico, we learn from the Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier, that the Com
mittee on Territories WILL doubtless, propose four
new Territorial governments in our present limits,
viz Nebraska, west of Missouri Itaska, north of
Wisconsin Minnesota, west of the same and another
Territory running up to the extreme northwestern
boundary Here are four States, with eight Senator'S
ready in few years to come into the Union,
slave-holding States. sssss1s b
MEsMER1zAT1oN. Quite sensation existed at
Pittsfeld Massachusetts, Thursday week, in con-
sequence of colored girl being successfully mes
merized by man of the same stamp. 1t is stated
that it was done merely to try the experiment, and
that he had no thought of being successful. After
the operation was performed-she being then in a
mesmeric state-he tried to awake her, but did not
succeed. His attempts were in vain, and she has
been under the influence of it since. Her life
was despaired of.
PoLITIcAL MOVEMENT. We understand from the
New York Herald of Thursday, that the Wings and
Democrats have Mass meetings in that city on
the 22d of February for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Presidency.
The Whigs advised to nominate General TAY-
LoR, and to the Democrats is proposed the of
Gen. WORTH.
We suspect that neither Of these nominations will
be worth any thing, unless sanctioned by General
Convention of the party. Pet. Republican.
Mr. Clay's speech is, of course, praised highly in
England If Mr.. Clay can find any consolation for
the GOODNESS with which his folly has been received
here in the euogies with which it has been greeted
by the press of Great Britain he must be very happy
Unfortunately, the kind of praise was bestowed
by the presses upon the proceedings of the
Hartford Convention in 1872 There's comfort!
Boston Times.
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Pat
riot affirms that General Taylor like Messrs. Clay,
Webster &c., is in favor of the territory doctrine.
Has the General changed his views in this respect
since he addressed his letter to General Gaines, pro-
posing fall back upon defensive line and to main
tain all the territory which 1t encloses! U'ton.
EFFECTS OF NOT ADVERTISING. The Pittsburg
Day Book tells of firm in that city, who, after set
Ting up their for the past year, found that
their loss amounted to ten thousand dollars and
they We're forced to close. Their business was con-
Quoted the strictest principles of economy but the
in the newspapers
from the best traits of his character He guesses and
chatechises because he thrsts for knowledge Ne
whites because he is ingenious and inventive ;,he
sings psalm tunes because he is religious and he
whistles because he is contented and happy.
GEN. TAYLOR RETURNING TO THE ARMY We hear
it rumored, but do not know upon what authority the
opinion is based that General Taylor is appointed to
the chief command in Mexico, and General Scott and
Worth recalled. 1t is stated that General Taylor is
act species of Provisional President in Mexico
but with what ulterior views we do not know.
WOUNDS ON CATTLE. The most aggravated
wounds of domestic animals easily cured with
portion of the yok of eggs mixed in the spirits of tur
pentine The part affected must be bathed several
times with the mixture, when perfect cure will be
effected in forty-eight hours.
The editor of the Boston Medical Journal, in view
of the destruction of life caused by the mistakes of
apothecaries, recommends the passage of law re-
quirng all who desire to vend poisonous articles
be licensed by the Municipal authorities.
The BLESSINGS OF TEMPERANCE. Since the for
nation of the Parent Washington Total Abstinence
Society of Boston, in April, 154l, y-sir thousand
three hundred and eighfyone persons have signed the
pledge Many of them have since united themselves
with the various churches in the city and vicinity
showing conclusvely that their reformation did not
end with signing the pledge.
GENERAL ScoTr's NEXT MOVEMENT. The Wash
ington Union says: 1t is believed that Gen. Scott
was the last advices, about to dispatch two col
umns to the mining districts, occupy two of the
richest mines within reach of the city-to be support
ed by common column"
Andrew Kennedy, Esq. for many years member
of Congress from Indiana, we regret to hear, died
of smallpox at Indianapolis, the 3lst ultimo. He
was man of strong mind, vigorous eloquence, and
generous character.
Last year, says the Boston Journal, three grls,s
farmers daughters three counties in Massachusetts,
turned out straw hats and bonnets valued at 81 694
The result is, they have rosy cheeks and money in
their purses. That's better than spinning street
yarns.
