GEN. TAYLOR'S IDEA OF GOVERN =
MENT.

Somebody in New Jersey who chooses to
keep shady. wrote last winter to Gen. Taylor
letter asking him lot Of questions, with tho
same intent. doubtless as questions were asked
by the Scribcs, Pharasces, and lawyers Of old.
Gen. Taylor more than six months ago return
ed him the following answer, which the receiv.
er has just sent TO The Union for publication:
BATON RoUGE, La, March 30, 1848.
"Sir: have to acknowledge the receipt Of
your polite communication Of the 9Th inst. ask
ing my views on certain questions Of domestic
policy.
81 beg to inform YOU that have uniformly
declined yielding 20 similar requests, in the be-
lief that my opinions, even if were the Prcsi-
dent oflho United States, are neither important
nor necessary; and regret TO add that see no
reason for departing, in the present instance,
from that course.
"Wnh sentiments Of much respect, am, sir.
your obedient servant,
~, TAYLOR"
All we ask of Gen. Taylor is fidelity TO The
pledge here plainly implied that if
chosen President he will leave legislation to
Congress and attend himself TO the business or
executing The laws as be finds them. A Veto
should be at least as rare in 4 Republic as in q
Monarchy-"Ihe extreme medicine Of the Con-

principle shall be established by Gen. TAYLOR.

Mr.. Van BurGn'S Connection with Slavery

We received, some days since, from a highly
respectable source, communication stating,
and offering to furnish the proof that Martin
Van Buren is now, and has been for years, con.
nected in business and interest with Southern
planter, in the cultivation of an extensive PLAN
tation in one of the Southern States. We
know little about the truth of the report, and
care infinitely less. If it is true, it may account
for Mr.. Van Buren's Southern predictions,
as exhibited for many years in his political
course; and if it could be proven conclusivcly,
would doubtless so far TO aid his prctensons to
the Presidency.
As it is land this article is intended as no.

Ak EXANrLE FoE IouNG MGE.--It is highly
pleasing, as we'll as encouraging 10 the mind. to
behold frequently occurring instances of ind.
yiduals raised BY seifpcrsevcring effort from
humble 10 exalted station. Ii seems TO saw tn
the young man. "lf thou wilt pcrsovera, and
maintain character of high moral worth, there
is no place scarcely, to which thy aspirations
may pUiut thee, thai lIclh noswhhin thy grasp"
To these reflections We arc led, by noticing in
one OF our exchanges. the appointment of Sam
ucl Wells, Esq, OF Portland, as Julge of the
Supreme Couu Of Maine. MIR. Wells, il seems.
was when a young man an apprentice TO trade.
His position Vas that Of ten thousand others in
the community. Ills aspirations pointed high
er: and moi by any mountain leap-not by some
railroad process, was the elevation to be reach.
cd. No but by slow, patient, toiling steady
course. And The same aspirations, allied to e
quul stability in the pursuit of its object, would
enable hundreds Of other young men TO rise
from lower station thun he occupied, TO a high
er one than he now holds.
The instance presents an encouraging oxam-
pie. Let our young readers profit by ii. Spend
no time in mere pleasure without profit to health
of mind or body; frequent not drinking houses,
and billiard saloons and above all, shun bad
company: else you may as well aspire to fly to
