Whiggery Defined.

The Marion (00 Eagle. violent whig journal,
gives the following reasons why Gen. Taylor is a
whIg. .......
"That Gen. Taylor is at heart genuine Wing,
we have the most entire confidence. His very de-
termination to make no public exposition of his
political stntimets,i as Gus the strongest evidence
cfthis fact. For were he a Loeofoeo, there would
BE- no notioe for him to be silent, no inprepriety
II HE proeiaiming the fact to the tcorld."
1.-The Eagle can boast OF his honesty, if nothing
else. According to the above Gen. Taylor has no
opinion for the "public eye." This was the whig
game in 1910, and the wings think il may serve
them In lS4s. Perhaps it may, but we doubt il
very much. 1t is true democrat has "no motive
10 be SILENT" and "no improprety in his proclaim
ing the tactic the world" Democracy is princ.
pie which seeks no conceament. It is what it is
10 I'll the world.

00-The attention of our readers is particularly
directed to the article on the first page of to-day 5
paper, from the Statesman, in relation to new
Constitution. We have, heretofore, remarked
that the opposition of the wings to convention
to amend the Constitution, originated in their dis.
trust Of the people; but we confess we were not
prepared for so bold an avowal as that made by the
whig Journal at Columbus. The Journal in effect,
says, IL has no confidence in the people! and yet
this same Journal will call upon the people ofOho
to sustain whig principles. With such an avowal
staring them in the face, will the people or any
considerable portion of them cast their suffrages
Tor the party that defeated the bill to amend the
Constitution!

o. The Hon. RUFUS P. SPALDING, of Summit
county, who was delegate TO the 9Th of January
State Convention, and who has usually been regar.
ded as soft money man, has published short ad-
dress to his fellow citizens, in which he says:---
"The resolutions in regard to the currency met
the hearty concurrence of every member of the
Committee on Resolutions, except Col Manypen.
Dy,of Muskingum, and myself. We both desired to
engraft thereon, an amendment, expressing the de.
termination of the Democratic party in Ohio, to
repeal every bank charter in the State so soon as
We obtain the ascendency in the Legislature. My
own opinion is, that the day of "hard and soft"
10 ended. The whole Democracy are now oppos-
cd to Banks of circulation AS A DEADLY EVIL IN
COMMUNITY.

Death Of a Member Of Congress.

We are sorry to state the death OF
JOHN M. HoLLEY, Esq, whig mem
ber Of Congress from the State of New
York, who went 10 the south early in
the session under the hope Of restoring
his health-but in vain!t He breathed
his last at Jacksonville, in Florida, on
the evening Of the 9th inst. A letter
from one Of his family states that ga
return Of his apoplectic affection,in the
form of congestion Of the lungs, carried
him off almost instantly, without a
struggle or a groan." His remains
have gone by sea to Now York, whilst
his afflicted wife reached Washington
last night on her way home. ~ Union.

The Independent Treasury.

The law establishing the Independent Treasury
Of the United States, famiarly known as tn e Sub.
Treasury, has now been in operation above year.
Notwithstanding the predictions of the wings that
this law would operate to the injury of the commu.
nifty, we find by reference TO our exchanges, that
the government has received and disbursed more
specie, during the year in which the law has been
in existence, than it did for fifty years past, and
that too with little, If any, loss. 1t has been
the means of drawing to this country from foreign
governments large amounts of specie for cir
culation and thereby checking the over-issuing of
banks, which must have been the case, as it usu.
ally is, when country is engaged in an expensive
war. |. ------- ------ -

Altered Bank Note.

n The Ohio Statesman says:---"We were shown,
on yesterday, a two dollar note on the State Bank
oi Ohio, altered to ten, and so well executed that
Il would pass almost any where without detection
AIt should be observed that all notes Of the State
Bank have a human figure on the vignette for each
dollar the bill calls for. This is certain detection"

IRISH PEASANT WIFE.

Hon. Mrs Norton has written some OF the best
poetry in the language. The following ..Song
Of the Peasant Wife, NAV be cited in proof u.
this lovely and gifted lady's power of poc,cal
expression, as well rs of her possession of tina,
ever bright and truthful key, which nnlocks the
inmest recesses OF tue human heart, and brings
out thence the fearful sympathy Of every one
who listens TO her gentle spirit'ng:-
"Comc, Patrick, clear rp the storms ON Your brow
You were kind 10 me onec-w.!l YOU irown on
me now
IL departs,
And the cold from wiihou, find its way to our
hearts,
No, Patrick, no, surely the wintricst weather
is easily borne when we bear i, together.
"Though the rains dropping through, froa the
roof To the floor.
And the wind whistles free where there once
was n door,
Can the rain, or the snow, or the storm wash
away
All the warm vows VIC made in loves early dav
No, Patrick, no, surely The dark storm, weather
is easily borne, If We bear il together.
''Whcn Won stole out To nae, when labor
was done,
And the day tia, was closing to NJ scem'd begun.
Did we care If the sunset was bright ON the
flowers,
Or If we crcpt ont amid darkness and showers,
No, Patrick. We talked, while We bray.d the
wild weather,
o. all We could bear, il We bore i, together.
s'Soon, soo., will these dark, dreary DAYS be
gone by,
And our hearts hc lit up with beam from the
sky.
oh. let not our spirits, emhittcred with pain,
Ee dead To the sunshine that came to us then.
Heart in heart, hand in hand, lot IL welcome
the weather,
And, sunshine OF storm. We will hear il together.

'1.S- ~ ioN'S NoAtNAIID n.
Speaking Of Gen. Taylor, the Burlng-
ton Gazette SAYS, "Scott was by far the
strongest man as a candidate" How i:
does grind these Locoiocos to think that
the Wings have selected as their candidate
a man so popular as Gen. TAYLOR. 1t was
their hearts desire TO have Clay nomina-
ted, as in that case, they though, the cleo
ton Of Gen. Cass certain.
Daring.thc Wing National Convention
Gen. Cass stopped at one of the hotels in
Philadelphia, where at the same time, were
about five or six hundred delegates. The
lact OF his presence, together with that of
many hired Locofocos engaged in election.
ccring for Henry Clay, did much to secure
the nomination Of Gen. Taylor.
A friend informs us that walking down
public street one evening previous to the
nomination, his attention was elected by a
gentleman speaking in raised tones TO a
knot Of individuals collected around him.
Drawing nigh he found the speaker cxpa-
tiating upon tho claims Of Henry Clay to
the nomination. Who think YOU was this
good friend Of tho llus,rious Clay? None
other than custom house officer, minon
of regal james, hreing Of the Locofoco
party, with praise upon his lips and malice
in his heart. Oh, it was dca,h-blow To
l.ocotoco prospects when the name Of Gen.
Taylor was proclaimed to the world as the
choice Of the Wing Convention. They
knew that such a result would be attended
by consequences disastrous to their party
aud ieariully did they struggle to proven,
il, and now when the fact is known Ia
them, they still occasionally bctray their
chagrin in such expressions as that with
which VIC commenced this paragraph.

tented; as well they might, for no one in
the country paid SO well aud fed so well as
Turlcy. who bore the reputation, far aud
near, OF being as generous and kind hearted
as he was rich. In times of scarcity no
Mexican ever besought his assistance and
went away empty-handed. Ills granaries
wero always open to the hungry, and his
purse to the poor. Three DAYS after was
there the guerillas attacked his house,
burned his mill, DESTROYED his grain and his
live stock, and inhumanly butchered himself
and the foreigners with him, after yalan,
defence Of twenty -four honrs-nine men
against FIVE hundred. Such is Mexican
gratitude.
