of the day seemed extremely problemat-

high rank rode up to General Taylor and

A PLACE FOR HEADoUARTERs.-After
the capitulation of Monterey, the officers
of the army used their exertions to get
General Taylor to move from his camp at
St. Domingo, to the plaza, and there es-
tablish his headquarters. Several pub
lie buildings were examined and decided
upon as suitable. After considerable
persuasion, General Taylor consented to
move, at the same time giving the follow
ing instructions:
Choose pleasant location-a house
that is surrounded by garden filled with
large trees; put tent under the trees for
my residence, and you the staff and 9TH
er officers may have the house in front"
1t is needless to add, that no more was
said about the headquarters being re-
moved into the city of Monterey.

II The Locofoco leaders make a
great ado, because, las they say, the Wings
have forsaken their principles.
1t will be recolIected, that they have
pronounced Wing principles, dangerous,
despotic, anti-republican, unconstitution-
al.
Instead, then, of rejoicing because the
Wings have forsaken such dangerous
principles, they vilify them for so doing.
Theirs is no celestial abode, else they
would rejoice over the repentance of so
many sinners. In addition TO this, there
is another reason-Dr. Odds is monarch

Zachary Taylor on Stay Laws and Psr-
sOnal Liahilt1v


That Zachary Taylor is an honest man
as well as a brave man. might be safely
inferred from his whole career.
A friend has Just related to us an Incl
dent of the early life of Gen. Taylor,
which puts in fine relief the high-toned
morality and sterling integrity of our
candidate.
Gen. Taylor was a resident of Ken
lucky in the disastrous period of her Stop
Laws-old Court and new Court-when
the point at issue between the parties
wasthe obligation of a debtorto discharge
his debts, at whatever sacrifice of his
property.
The Stop Law party were for postpon-
ing-for preventing executions for ap-
praisements of property according to the
value of which process was to be enforced
or defeated.
Gen. Taylor, at that time, was under
heavy pecuniary obligations, contracted
for the relief or accomodati of others;
but he zealously opposed the adoption of
the stop laws. His opposition and that
of other good men and true in the State,
was unavailing. The unjust and disor-
lganizing law was adopted.
Having opposed the mean principle,
Gen. Taylor, actuated by like principles,
refused to avail himself of the indulgence
they afforded to debtors but called upon
to meet his engagements, he went down
to New Orleans, disposed of his proper
ty for good money, returned to Kentucky
and discharged to the full, principal and
interest, the debts he had incurred.
He who thus resists evil example, and
scorns even under color of law, any ap-
proach to dishonesty, may we'll be hailed
as the champion and candidate Of an hon
est people aud an honest party,-COar-
Ter and Enquirer.

STATE BANK OF OHro.-One of the
most important acts of the late meeting

the cautious and conservative spirit in

@We understand that the following
nominations for Military Officers, of per-
sons who have been in service in the
same respective ranks for more than
year under provisional commissions from
the Executive, having been recently sent
into the Senate by the President of the
United States, were on Monday last pass
cd upon by the Senate, and, after debate
severally confirmed, viz:
GlDEoNJ. PILLow, to be Mai. General.
JOHN A! QUlTMAN, to be Maj. Gen.
CALEB CUSHING, to be Brig. General,
STERLING Price, to.be Brig General
What is curious in this matter is, that,
under late general order Of the Pres
ident, all these officers were to be Out of
the serO'ce on the goth of the present
month, and that the confirmation ofthese
appointments, demanded of the Senate at
this last hour, would seem to be unnec
essary now for the public service, as the
withholding Of the nominations so long
has been insulting to the Senate. Their
appointment now is simply creating adj
ditional officers of the army in time Of
peace.-Nat Enteligeacer.
