to conform TO this rule
If you or your family have been in the habit
of using pills, try them, and you will find them
as rood, if not better in many respects, than
any you have ever used before. Do not say to
yourself, ] should be glad to buy box of

When the tempest comes down in its wrath

When around his frail vessel its storm demon

in most positive manner, that you have
said, if Henry Clay lie the nominee Of the

recent conversations, you have declared that
you are in favor OF Tic Tariff of 46, of the
Sub-Treasury, OF the war-that in fact the
responsibility OF the war belongs TO YOU
also, that, il elected President, you will
choose your Cabinet from both parties.

Mr. Rich, bearer Of despalces, who left Mex
leo on the 18th ult arrived at Washington on
the 29th. lie reports that quorum of Congress
was supposed 10 he together, and that there was
but little doubt of the ratification of the Treaty.
Recent newspaper accounts differ essentially from
this, stating that is members were still wanting
at Qucrctaro 10 form quorum
Commissioner Trist and General Cadwallader,
who had resigned, left Mexico on the 9Th ult.,
for home. 1t was thought Herrera would be
chosen President by the Mexican Congress.
The rumor Of battle fought near chihuahua
is confirmed by information received at the City
Of Mexico. Its result was very disastrous to the
Mexicans. The fighting continued all day, but
the loss, though great, is not stated on either
side. Senior Trias, the Governor and Command
ant Of chihuahua, was among the numerous pris-
oners taken by the Americans.
Bustamente was at San Luis Potosi, with 3
considerable force. The Indians in that State
are in insurrection, to the number of 25o0.
1t is rumorcd that Gen. Cushngs brigade is
ordered to Jaapa. Robbcries were still frequent
on the roads and in the City OF Mexico.
Numbers of families who had been obliged Ia
abandon their homes on account Of the insurrec.

some of them entirely destitute.
Regular mail coaches were to commence run

Gen. TayIor's Position.

We publish two letters from Gen. Taylor, de
ining more particularly bis views upon politicn'
subjects. Tho last letter has our unqualified ap-
probation; The former we are sorry to see. We
hope Gen. Taylor will reconsider this dctcrmi-
nation, 50 unjust to the Wing party and TO other
candidates 1.-THE resolution not to abide by the
action Of the Wing Convention be persisted IN,
Il will lose him troops Of friends" both in md
out Of the Convention. lie avows himself
Wing, and ayows Wing doctrines, such as would
secure to him the cordial and united support OF
the Wing party. Who, then, does he mean by
his " friends" by whose advice he is to be gov
erncd? Where arc thcy-in what State, coun-
~ or city do they reside? How, and when, and
where arc they to express opinions by which he
is to be governed2 Are they few individuals
who have nominated him as a hobby to ride into
office? Arc they the newspapers which inst
broueh, him forward, or arc they the conven-
tons or meetings that flint expressed prefer
ence for him? Docs he mean personal or polit-
ical friends. Is he so credulous As to expect .
nomination from any Locofoco convention, or
support from that pariyr OF course not. Then
who can he mean by his friends" but such Of
the Wing party as are friendly to bis nomina'
ton? The Wings speak through their party
organization and 70 insure success, individual
preferences most yield TO the action Of the ma
iority. Does Gen Taylor mean to oppose and
break up the usagcs and party organization o
the Wings, unless their acts are in conformity tc
bis wishes We hope not. Decided and Gorilla
as IL our approval Of his last letter, and bighl,
as we regard bis capacity and integrity we shoult
consider the sentiment contained in bis frst let
ter, a sufficient reason for opposing his nomina
ton in the Convention; and upon his own prin
ciples, his nomination by the Wing Convention
would impose no obligation upon any Wing Il

1.-THE ISSUES OF THE Observation-Disclosures
this caption, the Washington Union says of the
principles of the Republican party"
They are the principles of 'ss and 's9-the
principles of jefferson founded on a strict
State rights construction of the Constitution.
They we're the principles Of 1874, and they are
those Of is4s They are avcrse to all latitudi-
nous constructions, and usurpatons Of ungranted
powers They are nnt-iederal bank, anti-pno-
tective tar1ii, anti-iedcral system Of internal i'm
proyements' ADMINISTRATION of the proceeds of
the public lands"
And the Union might have added, "anti-free-
dom and anti-peace" 1t omitted the reverse of
the picture-to describe what the Republican
party is for, as well Us what it opposes-which
may be supplied thus; For government bank
of shin-plasters, alias treasury notes; for British
free trade; for the suppression and ruin of com
merce on the internal waters of the Union, by
Withholding al appropriations for improving
navigation in them, and appropriating literally
for improving the harbors of the ocean for the
benefit of foreign shipping for the distribution
of the proceeds of the public lands among the
States of Mexico, to provide new market for
slaves. These are the principles of the Repub-
leans of the present day. The Republicans Of
'9s created the first Bank of the United States
the Republicans of the present day murdered
it. The Republicans of '9s created protective
tariff, and forced it upon the unwilling North
the Republicans of the present day strangled it,
to favor British manufacturers. The Republic
cans of '9s, with jefferson at their head regard
ed slavery as an evil, and looked to its eventual
abOliiion-thc Republicans of the present day
