Native American Triumph.

Before the election, this is what the Nelo York
Express, a leading Federal print, said of General
TAYLOR We presume that paper will not only go
for TAYLOR now but deny that his election would be
Nativist triumph:
The " Nashville Wing" warm Gen. Taylor pa
per in Tennessee, in its comments upon the Capt. Al
lison and Richmond letters, says:
seen. Taylor is in the hands of his friends. The
nomination by the Wing National convention Of Mr.
Clay, nor of any body else, will induce him to with
draw his name from the canvass Should his friends
should that portion of his countrymen, in comp-
ance with whose expressed wishes he has consented
TO occupy the position of candidate. manifest
wish that he should retire from it, he will gladly
do so.'"
By his friends" then, added the Express, we are
TO understand the molly groups of Native Americans,
and other Joseph coated party men. that
have put him in nomination here, there, and every
where, and from whom he has cheerfully accepted
a nomination! Well, if he could be elected by such
men, and should attempt to carry out their principles,
no leopard would have many spots. or cameleon so
many coors. His cabinet, presume, would read
and run thus:
Secretary of State-peier Sken Smith, of Pa.
Secretary of War-HenryA. Wise, of Va.
Secretary of the Treasury-Cassus M. Clay, of
Kentucky.
Secretary of the Navy-George Poindexter, of
Mississippi.
Postmaster General-Gideon ]. Pillow, of Tenn.
But if such are the views of the Nashville Wing
or if we are such speckled purty,-of what sort of

miles off, and assemble in National Convention
II would be the verrest farce earth for grave men
to be acting-this of surrendng preferences on the
common altar of a Union, when he who is found to
be the sacrifice is thus permitted to rise in rebellion,
| and to cry out, 81 won't submit"
| 1t is as well, first last for Gen. Taylor IS
friends to understand his position,-and he has
few political friends although all appreciate his
great military services, save in the Wing party.

Taylor and the SOutil.

The Charleston Is. CO. Mercury, the organ of
Southern saveholdng interests, holds the following
language in regard TO Gen Cass:
"The policy recommended by General Cass, to a
superficial observer, seems plausble-seems demo-
cratic; yet Of az the schemes derised for the dirap
chisement and degradation If the South. IT Is BY
FAR THE MOST ADROITe AND EFFECTUAL.
The proposition is, that to the inhabitants Of the ter
ritory-nol when they shall constitute State. but
whilst in the condition of territOry-shall be SUBJ
mitted the question whether slavery shall exist within
its limits. Slavery does not now exist in any de-
partment of Mexico. and has existed for several
years. The inhabitants Of the portion which is likely
to become The territory of The United States, are kno,r
to be arerSe to This institution"

Mr. Clay had received Intelligence of the nomination

ssrhe Utica convention nominated Mr.. Van Buren,
as candidate for the presidency, contrary to his
known wishes, upon the principle that the people
whom they represented had right TO make this use
of his name and did not direct their usual notice Of
their proceedings TO be given TO him. No communi.
cation the subject is, therefore, to be expected
from him. But we are most happy to be able to say,
upon the best authority. that, however unexpected
and undesirable himself the position assigned him
by the action Of his friends, Mr.. Van Buren, will not

any further obstacle to the course they have adopted
! The New York Evening Post (also barnburner)
publishes the above. and says 'he most implicit con-
fdence may be placed upon it."
