WHAT THE BARNBURNERs SAY.

WHAT THE BARNBURNERS SAY.
The New York Globe, Zone of the organs Of the
Barnburners,) in some remarks on the Presidency
a day or two previous to the nomination of Gen.
Taylor, said:
"We believe tina, if Gen. Taylor is nominated at
Philadelphia he will be elected President. no mat
ter what may be the action of the Barnburners Of
this State"
And again the Globe says:
''lf our object is merely to defeat Cass. THAT is
already accomplished the moment TAYLOR is nom-
mated a, Philadelphia. There are not three States
in the Union. if the contest is between TAYLOR and
Cas-, which Cass can carry.
There was report in New York on the 9Th
instant that Taylor had been nominated, and
'hereuPon the Evening Post (ano,her Of the organs
of the Barnburners) said:
We now look upon the Presidential question as
virtually settled Gen. Taylor will be in the Pre-
sidential chair on the 9TH of March if he is alive
ne VIII sweep the south from Cape May TO Key
west, and from the Ohio to the Rio Grande.-
Virginia will give her voice for Taylor as surely as
south Carolina. Not one OF the States to purchase
whose support the letter of Mr.. Cass on slavery
was written, will, in all probability. give the au-
'hor OF that letter vote for the Presidency. In
the north his prospects are scarcely less sa,siac.o
ry.
The precptate annexation of Texas under the
iirst OF the resolutions adopted by Congress-set.
ing aside altogether the mild safe and wise alter
native proposed by Mr.. Benton, and left TO Mr.
Folks discretion, brought on the war with Next
co; the war with Mexico brought Gen. Taylor be-
lore The public notice. gave him his popularity and
armed him with strength TO overtun the admlinis-
traon.
Ihe Post subsequently ascertained that the an
nouncement of the nomination of Gen. TAYLOR was
premature and it added to its remarks these:
The foregoing paragraphs were written on receiv-
ing from the telegraph office here, despatch 10 the
effect that Gen. Taylor was elected. 1t now ap-
pears that the report was not true. We do not.
however, correct what has been written TAYLOR
Will be nominated by the convention before its
members separate, and our remarks will have their
proper application.
PEACE.-We rejoice that we are able to say
10 our readers that the news of peace with Mexico
has been fully confirmed. Surely this announce
ment will be received by our people, of all parties
with unminged qualification The country needs
repose, and the concentration of its energies for
other and better purposes than war.
The vote in the Mexican Senate on the ratifca-
ton of the Treaty was taken on the 25,h ultimo-
