GENERAL TAYLOR IN MARYLAND.-We find
the following paragraph in the late message of
Governor Pratt to the Legislature of Maryland.
The name of General Taylor, but for this
war, would have been unknown to many of
his countrymen; it now commands the respect
and admiration of other nations, and fills the
hearts of the American people with a devotion
unexampled since the days of Washington.
His intimate acquaintance with the existing
relations of this country with Mexico, and the
purity of purpose and sterling goodsense man.
tested by all that he has said or done, will, l
am persuaded, fully justify the wisdom of the
determination plainly evinced by his fellow
citizensto confer on him the highest office in
the gift of the Republic. do moi indulge a
hope that the peace of the country will be res
tored until these Indications of the times
have been realized, and the Executive func-
tions of the Federal Government have passed
into other hands.

liean:
MILrDeEv1LLE, Dec. %, 1917.
The Wings met last night in the Senate
chamber for the purpose oftaking some prelim-
mary action in reference to the next Presidency.
Hon.. Seaton Grantland was called to the chair.
On motion of Col. Grieve, the chair appointed
a committee of thirteen to report suitable res

The committee retired for a few minutes, after
which the following resolutions were offered
through the chairman:
sRe80lged, That this meeting held aUithout
distinction of parties, only gives expression to
as it now does, Gen. Zachary Taylor as a candi-
date for President of the United States"

WAsHINGToN, Jaauary4 -
In the Senate, shortly after the opening of
the chamber this morning, the galleries were
densely crowded by an attentive auditory to
hear the discussion that was likely to take
place upon the special order of the day-Mr.
Calhoun's resolutions relative to the Mexican
war. S
Mr.. Calhoun took the floor, and in a speech
of considerable length maintained his position
advanced in his resolutions. He DECEASED the
further prosecution of the war unnecessarr:
that in its inception it was wrong, and produc-
ed solely By the act of the President and not
by any act of Mexico. He denied that there
had been adequate cause for the commence
mentof hostilities, and that the existing state
of things had been brought about without Just
or sufficient reason.
He strenuously urged the withdrawal of the
troops now in Mexico to a defensive line, to
be held till a satisfactory treaty of peace shall
have been ratified between Mexico and the IT,
States. He stated that he had originally OPP
posed the war for reasons other than now Of
fered; but its speedy termination is now counS
selled by impending dangers menaeing the pros
perity and happiness of the United S States. In
its continuation we are threatened by an inn
mense and heavy national debt, and will of
necessity be compelled to employ and sustain
a large standing army with all its concomitant
evils, alike demoralizing in its Influences upon,
a large portion of our citizens, as well as en-.
dangering the permanence of our civil and re-
ligious institutions.
He denounced the proposition for a further
prosecution of the war in the hope of securing
greater chances of obtaining indemnities by
It's longer continuance, and finally endanger-
ing our free Institutions by the annexation of
such portion of foreign territory as may be thus
acquired by force ofarms.
He opposed the Presidents recommends
tons, made in his last annual message to Con
gress, in relation to the Mexican war, &C..
throughout, aid concluded by an earnest APP
peal to the Senate to investigate well the OBJ
jects to be gained by a further prosecution of
the wal, and to carefully consider the results
that are likely to be produced by such a course.
The resolutions were finally poisoned to a
farther day.
The proceedings of the House on this day
were unimportant.
WAsHNsToN Jan. Z. 81 p. M.
The Senate was not In session TO day.
The House was engaged all day in the dis
cassion of the Southern mail bill.
Sundry amendments were adopted, and va
rious Others proposed and lost.
During the discussion several points of Or
der were raised, and much confusion prevailed
up to the hour of adjournment.

1896. This resolution calls for the "instruc-
tions and orders" TO the Minister of the United
States to Mexico, which relate to negotiations
which have not been terminated, and which
may be resumed.
The information called for respects negotia-
tons with the United States offered to open
with Mexico, Immediately proceeding the COM
mencement OF the existing war. The instruc-
tons given to the Minister ofthe United States,
relate TO the differences between the two coun-
tries. out of which the war grew, and the terms
of adjustment, which we were prepared to
offer to Mexico, in our anxiety to prevent the
war.
These difficulties still remain unsettled. and
to comply with the call of the House, would be
to make public through that channel, and to
communicate to Mexico, now public enemy,
engaged in war, information which could not
fail TO produce serious embarassments in any
future negotiations between the two coun-
tries.
have therefore communicated to congress
all the correspondence of the Minister of the
United States to Mexico, which in the existing
state of our relations with the Republic can, in
my judgement, be at this time communicated
without serious injury to the public interest.
Entering this conviction, and with az sim
cere desire TO furnish any information which
may be in possession of the Executive Depart
ment, and which either House of Congress NAV
at any time request, regard it 10 be my con-
stltutional right and my solemn duty, under
the circumstances Of this case, to decline a
with the request of the House con-
tanned in their resolutions.
