GRuNDY CoUNTY.-Iu our editorial re-
marks, several weeks ago, in reference to
the Congressional Convention, we did in
justice to the delegation from Grundy conn.
ty. They did net take their hats and leave
the Convention, as we enormously stated,
but remained, and, we are assured, now
cordially support the nominee of that Con-
venilon, as does the Democracy of Grundy
generally. 1t is needless TO say the mis-
take was uninteu,ional on our part.

TAYLOR ~ lNDIAYA.-The Tippecanoe
Journal, one of the ablcst and most iutluen.
tial wing papers in Indiana, thus heartily
responds to the nomination Of Taylor:
"iuRg be the HearenS in Biack." Gen.
Taylor has been nominated for President,
aud Willard Fillmore for Vice President.
"The nomination Of general Taylor is a
disgrace to the Convention, and an insult to
the intelligence aud virtue of the American
People"
Mr.. Fillmore is good man, and would
have been a thousand times better selection
for President than general Taylor.
The Wing party is basely betrayed, aye,
sold to the Southern Slave driver-and il
remains to be seen how far the FREtMIN
OF the NORTH will ratiy the bargain.

Martinique is one of the islands III which
slavery has recently been abolished by the
French government. The following late
news from there, showing how emancipa-
ton operates, is not calculated TO strength

PHILADELPHIA. June 10.
The brig Columbus arrived to-day from
Martinique, bringing over many planters
who had escaped the terrible insurrection of
the slaves. Great br,ltalities have been
practiSed by them. Many families had
been confined IN their houses and burned.
The Government OF the Island, instead OF
calling ont the troops to quell the insurrcc-
ton, proclaimed the abolition Of slavery, as
decreed by the French Republic. Under
these circumstances, all the whites that
were able, had fled from the Island. Fears
were entertained, that further atrocities
would be committed unless assistance was
speedily sent to the whites.
New IoRK, June ~.
We learn that the French government
vessels had arrived at Pouce, with many
refugees from Martinique. From them we
understand that the whites had driven the
blacks out of the city, (Martniquc.) On
the receipt of this intelligence, the Cover

City of Mexico. April 8, 1913.

most favored by Nature, stripped Of all
lis advantages and converted into n hell

have great faith in our own people,
however; they show their high sense Of
honesty aud nobleness whenever the oc-
casion offers.
Gen. TAyLoR's military exploits are
not the causes of his popularity they are
only the occasions for the display OF his
sound judgment, energy Of character, loi-
ty and pure sense Of justice, aud incor-
rupiible honesty. He has as much repu-
lalion for what he has written as for what
he has done, because, even if The compo-
silion is not his own, the sentiments, mo.
lives, and feelings are his, and every thing
he says. as every thing he does. is mark
ed BY the purity and greatness Of his own
character. -
remember thai you asked me at the
time he was put in command al Corpus
Christi whether he was equal To the cir
cumstances! ! told you, in reply, Of his
sound judgment and inexhauslihle energy,
as learned them in Florida, but did moi
then properly estimate the other and high
or points Of his character. In The cam
paign on the Rio Grande saw him tried
upon all circumstances, and he always
came out pure gold. ...
As soon as Gen. TAYLOR was furnish.
ed by events with the opportunity to dis
play his character, you see that il was al
once properly estimated; and ! come
hack TO the proposition | started with,
that the people will always properly mea-
sure great men. do mol say that they
will always reward then properly, for

sion to their feelings, and the least wnr.
thy may have The COTE without having the

There has great error been commit.
ted in relation TO Gen. ScoTT: no militia
ry operations in history have displayed
more military qualities or been mnre uni.
formly successful in iherresul,s. Nor have
they been in any case the result Of chance;
every thing has been done in conformity
with plan, and the event in all cases ha,
been almost predicted. That 4 success
ful General should be degraded in The We

not Of him but by him. is exceedingly
strange and mos, unfortunate. Every ont
in the army feels il as disgrace.
