GLoRIous WAR.--"We had visit yestegtla.

GLORIOUS WAR.-"We had q visit Yesterday,
says the New York Tribune, from DIR. James
Thompson, late Sergeant in the u. s. Regu-
lars, but now discharged because he was SO
wounded ia one Of the battles in Mexico as TO
disable him for farther duty. He was crippled
by ball through the leg, and had one eye blind
ed and his head scientifically laid open by
sabre cut, which barely missed killing him.
So, being no longer available, he was sent
adrift, with an allowance of one cent mile
wherewith to make his way home and pen
sion of four dollars a month hereafter. The
gentlemen who make wars and tell the people
how glorious they are, vote themselves from
S25 600 year down to $50 per week with
10 cents per mile for travelling, while they
vote the men who stop the bullets and blunt
the sabre-edges one cent mile for travelling
expenses and almost ninety cents a 'rcek to live

REAsoyiYG IN THE RloHr WAy-The St.
Louis Republican says that on Saturday last,
few persons accidentally met OH the wharf OF
that city, when politics became the subject Gfl
conversation. In the course of the converse
ton, one of the Locofoco office holders OF the
Government remarked that he had heard a
good deal of Democrats voting for General Tay-
Tor. but he did not believe word of il. He
would like TO see one.
AT this, a, farmer who had a lot of wheat on
the wharf near BY, stepped us and said 'Fm one
Democrat that will vote for General Taylor.

eral Taylor has got no principles, You are not
going TO vote for a man that has no princi-
ples?"
Il tell you what" replied the farmer, she's
got the very principles like. He S an honest
man, and that IS what can't be said of many men
who boast so much about their political prn-
Icipes. He has been forty years in the employ
of the United States Government, and neither
the Government nor any one that has served
under or over him has accused him Of single
dishonest act. He says if he is elected Presi-
dent he will be the President Of the people,
aud not ola party, Now, if Cass is elected,
he will be the President of party and not OF
the people. don't want to see party Pres

taxes, and does his duty TO his Government
have an equal chance for Office, and not be
n treated as an alien because he has independence
: enough to think for himself. We have had
enough of that kind of corruption and tyranny
. already General Taylor says he wont veto
n the acts of Congress, unless they are clearly
5 unconstitutional, or have been passed without

were the doctrines Of the Democratic party
when was boy, and ought TO be now. The

focos are growing desperate at the prospect te

the people in their speeches. Unless the peo-
ple are guided and deceived in some way they
know there is no possible chance for Cass to

TIE GERMAN yOTE-A SIGN

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
writing from Washington, has the following
interesting item in relation to the Germans of
New York. The conclusions drawn in the lat
ter part Of the article are as true as history it,
self, and should have an influence with the
German voters of Indiana. We have no doubt
that the Germans will consider we'll the claims
of both Cass and Taylor, and give their votes
with due regard to the probable consequences
which may result from the election OF either

contributed money and labor to promote his
success. A recent meeting of this association
was held which was lumerously attended, and

burthen of government, and which depends up
on its own labor for its maintainance-which
does not seek Office, and which despises poll

views advanced by Gen. Cass on all the ques-
tons of foreign policy that have agitated III,
