MOUNT VERNON, March l4th, 1883.
Should it become inevitably necessary for
me ogo into the chair of government, have
determined to go free from all positive engage
meHts whatsoever. This is the answer l have
already given TO multiplicity of applications
and have assigned as the true reason of my
conduct, the predominant desire of being at
liberty to act NTH sole reference to justice and
the pablo good.
These declarations are explicit, and cover
exactly the point in question. Gen. Taylor,
like Washington, will go into the Presidential
office, if at all. 'Jrce from all positive engage
naents Of eUery mature tvhatsoever,' and sat
liberty to act l0ith sole reference to justice and
the public good.
Let US sustain Gen. Taylor in his manly and
patriotic position, and he will be the wise be-
ncyolent, independent President of the nation,
and our country will fall again in the good
old-school Republican track of our earlier
Presidents, from which it has been so sadly led
astray by the leaders of modern democracy.

GEN. SMITH.-It is understood that the pop
ular commander of the I'd Division, and Gov
ernor of tine city of Mexico, will leave to-mor
row or next day for Vera Crux. where he will
remain until all the troops embark 1t will
be the first time that Gen. Smith has left his
favorite command for many day, and now it
is for no holiday sport, but for service which
is far more arduous than the command OF his
division in these piping times of peace. a.
That good health may attend him in the terra
caliente we know is the prayer of his numer-
Gus friends and admirers in this army.-Star of

HoNoLuLU.-We received by the mail Of
Tuesday evening, file of the POlynesidn,
printed at Honolulu. in one of the Wahalian
islands. The latest date was to the 26th Feb
ruary, less than three months ago, and We
think much later than has been received in the
States.
AT Honolulu they had a great procession
when the picture of Louis Philippe was pres
ented to King Kamahameha, in which many
Americans and other foreigners joined.
From Monterey, California, they had dates
to the I'd February. a magazine had blown up
and ilied four y. Y. volunteers
In Oregon, the Indians had killed mission
airy and his family.
The editor of the Star and those of the Cali
fornian, both printed in Monterey, are by the
| ears.
The Polonesian is filled with matters per-
tanning to the island, advertisements, marine
news, and from it we infer that Honolulu is
place, and some Yankees are about Some
of the January numbers are filled with accounts
of the battles in Mexico, from Palo Alto to
the plaza of this city. The account of the
hanging of the deserters al San Angel and Mix
coac is taken from the first number of the Am
erican Star.
The papers sent were post-marked Mazatlan,
on the Pacific, and we have returned the corn-
pliment and put the Polynesian on our ex-
change list. May it fourish.-Starof25.

AN INCIDENT. We heard OF transaction
yesterday, which we must mention, even if we
trespass upon privacy in so doing. A gentleman
from Brooklyn, New York, encountering in the
street an old friend in tte person of Mr.. South
worth, the artist, recently escaped with the loss
of all his valuable from the destruction OF the
Ocean Monarch took out of his pocket book and
spontaneously pressed upon him sum of money
for his relief. The next day came the news of
the great fire in BrookIyn; and on glanciag at
the newspapers Mr.. Southworth learnt that his
open handed friend had been burnt out, losing
all he was worth. Hurrying to his hotel he had
the satisfaction ofrestoring the donation with an
usury OF grateful acknowledgements and sympa-
thes, which happened to be all that he had in his
power to add. The incident though trfing
one, is pleasant as showing that disinterested
kindness is still habit in this working. day

Method Of Yielding Iron, steel, and Sheet
Iron. fl ne,0 French Discovery. In an earth
vessel melt borax, and add TO it 10th OF salt
ammoniac. When these ingredients are proper
ly fused and mixed, pour them out upon an iron
plate and let them cool. There is thus obtained
CLASSY matter, to which is to be added an equal
quantity of quick lime. The iron steel which
TO be soldered first heated to redness then
this compound, first reduced to powder, is laid
upon them the composition melts and runs like
sealingwax; the pieces are then replaced in the
fire, taking care to heat them at temperature
far below that usually employed in welding; they
are then withdrawn and hammered aud the sur
faces will be found TO be thus perfectly united.
The author asserts that this process, which may
be applied to welding sheet iron tubes, never
fails.-Rec. de la POlytech.
