about principle, widely as they differ on

simply whether Clay or Taylor shall be

INFAMOUS PRoPosAL The following
resolution was submitted in the House oi
Representatives, on The Sd OF january by
Mr.. Hudson, a Massachusetts Wing.
Resolved, hat the Committee oil Mil
itary Affairs be directed To inquire into
the exPediency Of requesting the Presi-
dent of the United States to withdraw to
the east bank the Rio Grands our ar.
mics now in Mexico, and to PROF Ose to
the Mexican government forthwith
treaty of peace on the following basis,
namely: That we relinquish all claim to
indemnity for the expenses Of the war;
and that the boundary between the Unit
ed States and Mexico shall be established
al or near the descent between the Nue.
ces and the Rio Grande: thai Mexico
shall be held to pay all just claims due to
our citizens at the commencement of the
war; and that convention shall be enter
ed into by the two nations to provide for
thesliGuidation of those claims and the
mode Ofpayment.

Some Taaylor papers at the North, witt

therefore proceed to lay before our rea.

in favor of free territory. .s.,.. -.
Gen. Taylor is native ola slavehold.
ing State, a citizen of a slaveholdipp
state; he is a STAKEHOLDER of the largest
class, owning sotie three hundred OF his
fellow creatures; and there is not line
on record, an act of his life known, which,
can afford ground for even a guess that
he is in favor of Emancipation, or dissent.

slaveholding caste in relation to the eA-
tension OF slavery into free territory.
All his supporters in the South, with

that they would have combined their for.

not worth an argument.

1t occurred during the last war. The
captain, who was native of Plymouth.
was running on to the coast in a schoon.

reached his destination, when he was
overhauled by the enemy's frigate, who
ordered him peremptorily to heaxe line
aboard. There was no resisting the
cofiniandi for the schooner was without
arms, and the tendet. full of marines and
sailors, armed to the teeth with pistols,
muskets and cutlassess. The captain
had fair but light breese aloft. his sails
drew and he was driving near a reef. the
entrance to which he was perfectly famil-
lar with, and once inside which, he was
sure of making port undisturbsd by the
tender. -.si fa saf
In this view he ordered one of his men
forward with line, and in clear stem.
torian voice, perfectly audible on board
the tender sang out
"lieave your line aboard!'' then ad
ded in whisper, so as to be beard only
by his OWN men, "Heare tt shorty"
