to the price, for which rail road iron can
be delivered in this country, from England.
When they say, English iron can be deliv-
cred in this country, at twenty dollars per
ton, including duty, freight and all other
charges, it must be applied to pig iron,
which we believe is the fact, and which,
we regret to say, is about 20 per cent less
than living or rcmuncrating price, for our
manufacturers. Rail road iron, we believe
has never been imported for less than about
SO per ton, and cannot probably be i'm
ported now, for less than about $50 per
ton. This, however, is Sl5 per ton less
than il can be manufactured for at our works,
which, if we deduct one half for the supe-
riority Of our iron over the English, will
still leave difference of 81 or SS against
our own manufacturers.

GEN. r.yLoR-rHE MrLToNIAN AND OUR

GEN. TAYLOR-THE MILTONIAN AND QUIZ
SELVES.
We hardly know in what way to reply
to the childish effusions of the Miltonian
for some time past, nor in what spirit they
have been Observation-Disclosures from envy
or malice, or a want of proper conception
of right from wrong. Wedid not, of course,
consult the redoubtable editors of the Mil
tonian, in regard to the policy we should
pursue, nor did we expect to please them
in the course we have adopted There is
however, common courtesy which often
prompts editors to display something of
liberal and honorable spirit, even when
their inclination points in different direc-
tion. If the editors ofthe Miltonian choose
to quote from our paper, they should not
take detached sentences, and draw conclu-
sions and make comments to suit their own
fancy. In regard to Gen. Taylor Our con-
duct has been consistent throughout, and
when we once repudate what we have
said in regard to that distinguished patriot,
or speak disparagingly of his character, it
will he time for those who have never learn
ed to think for themselves, to carp at our
conduct. Gen. Taylor occupies position
now, very different from that which he
held some months since, when he declared
his being candidate, should not depend
upon the result of any convention. The
Louisiana delegation, however, in the late
whig convention, stated that they were
authorised to say that Gen. Taylor would
abide by its decisions and support the nomi'
nee of that convention. These views, are
entertained by others who supported Gen
Taylor.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, speaking o
the nomination, says:
!We have so frequently spoken of Gen
Taylor i'll these columns that il would b,
superogatorv to discuss his character now
But, it must be remembered, he present
himself to us now in different aspect from
, that he has before assumed. 1t was not I'm
til letter from him was read in the Conven
ton acknowledging himself a whig and ell
gaging not to be candidate if any oihe

admission, Wing one-and, as a Wing, h

NJ THE CAMPAIGN OF lS4S.-We are
plcascdto to see a disposition evinced, by the
respectable portion of the Press, of both
parties, to conduct the present political
campaign in fair and honoroble manner.
The candidates on both sides are men of
high character and standing, distinguished
not only for their public services, but for
their private worth. They, therefore,
who would assail the character of either,
must necessarily innict a greater injury up
on themselves, than upon the party assailed.
There will, however, always be exceptions,
as there are some, who from nature or edu-
cation are unable to indite single para
graph without rcsorting TO scurrility and
personal abuse.
