PARsoN BRowNLow's OPINION OF New On.
LEANs.-The Rev. VIM. G. Brownie the tulen.
ted but eccentric editor Of the Jonosborougb
CIenn) Wing, has recently paid a visit to \ ew
Orleans. His first Impressions of the Crescent
City are by no means lattering. Hear him.
"New Orleans is sa head and shoulders raj.
ler' thar any city | was ever in. Nay, it is a
"pole and compass'' deeper in the sinks of in
Equity thnn any city | eve, was in. The devil
operates here upon a large scale, and really has
his barracks here, together with most of his re-
cruiting officers.
"The Rev. DR.. Clapp of this city, has deliver
ed a sermon, in which it is made to appear that
there is no he'll in the next life, in which to
punish sinners. This is an important discoy-
cry, and rovives the dropping spirits of thous-
ands here, who know that if the vulgar notion
of a hell in the next life be true, they will have
TO pay for the roast. 1t is more important to
the inhabitants Of New Orleans to have the
doctrine of heHfre and future punishment done
away with, than of any city ! ever was inn

RETURN OF A SLAvE.-A bout two years
since one our of City Fathers, a gentleman in
the Third Municipality, lost as he supposed, a
likely young negro woman.
He advertised and made various inquiries for
her, to no purpose a short time afterwards a
woman answering to her description and with
clothes such as he supposed she wore when
she disappeared was found floating in the Mis-
slsslppi opposite the city. Yesterday morning
however, at an early hour, she made her APP
pearance, bag and baggage, fat and hearty,
and stated that she had runaway and reached
the State Of Ohio where she remained since
with a free negro woman, Becoming discon-
tented, she concluded to return to her master.
She said that she preferred slavery to such fee
dom as she enjoyed while absent and request
ed her master to dispose OF her as he thought
proper.-M o. Crescent.

DELAwARE WHIe COMMEMORATIVE WING
State convention Of Delaware met at Dover on
Wednesday last. The attendance was very
large. Three gentlemen were elected dele.
gates to the national convention and instructed
to use all honorable means for securing the
nomination Of their distinguished fellow Cit
izen. John M. Clayton, as a candidate for the
Presidency.
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1848-06-02

The Richmond Republican publishes a let
ter from Gen. Taylor, which has been the sub
Ject OF som comment, because he intimates
his intention not to withdraw even if Mr.. CLAY
is nominated by the Convention.
We consider that Gen. TAYLOR is only per-
forming what he has often said, that lie is
not and would not be a mere party instrument,
that ne has not sought the position of candi-
date for the Presidency-that he had consented
to the use ofhis name by his friends, and that
he could not consistently withdraw his name,
at the bidding of any party; but in his subse-
qnent letter to Capt Allison he says, that if his
friends wish him to retire, he will most gladly
do 50. There is nothing in The present let
ter inconsistent with that declaration. AS he
has not placed himself in his present position,
he does not feel himself authorized to with
draw his name, after consenting to its use, un-
less his friends requested it. He is in fact in
The hands Qfhis friends.
In case of a formaleparty nomination, by
both wings and democrats, and the exclusion
OF Gen. Taylor, tits very evident, as we have
previously stated, that as parties are at present
organised, he could not be elected by the coll
leges, and the result of his continuing to be a
candidate would be to bring the election into
the House. Whether the great body of his
friends would under such circumstances, by
willing that he should withdraw his name, we
are unable to say. If they did consent, it
would be only in consequence Of events that
Will develope themselves previous to, and at
the Philadelphia Convention. In the mean
Gen. Taylor, in expressing his intention
not to withdraw, is only acting in good faith
his friends without whose consent, he
not feel at liberty to do so,
We are confirmed in this view of the subject
by recent converse ions with Gen. Taylor ".
