from Baltimore, dated the day previous at

have a majority in the Legislature of Iowa.
This will secure us two United States

WESTERN ELoouENcE.-The following
paragraph, describing the sort of preach
ers wanted ia the west, is an extract from
the speech of the Rev. Mr.. Magoon, Of
Cincinnati, made at the anniversary of
the New York Baptist Bible Society:
The education soaked in from the out
side, like a Thompsonian bath, is useless
there. There is no field for such preaeh-
ers. Blackboard knowledge, and Latin
roots, emptiness in the head, green glass
ses over the eyes, dyspepsia in the sto-
mach, and a diploma in his hand, do not
suit the p~eople-they want what the
Scotch call "gumption"-they want men
like RinggoId's flying artillery, who know
how to load and fire in the hottest of the
fight. There is no need to wait for a
church to call a pastor in the West; he
can call his church himself. With a log
cabin for a vestry, he al have around
him a cathedral whose arches were
wreathed and wrought, whose roof was
adorned in a way the temples of Greece
never knew-the blue sky is visible
through its dome, the setting sun streams
in between its pillars, andthere, in a garb,
as simple as the sublime truths he tells,
he can preach the Word of Life; there is
no need of fine linen in double quantity.

Reasons for Supporting Gen. Taylor.

Reasons for Supporting Gen. Taylor.
The sound, unimpeached and undoubt-
ed character ofGen. Taylor as a national
wing, after the Washington standard, in
spires the confidence ofpatriotic and con
siderate men in every part ofthe country.
Hear Senator Mangum, of North Caro-
lima. In his speech in the Senate on the
Sd instant, he said:
"Sir, l will support Gen. Taylor and
support him cordially, as the true repre-
sentative of all the great conservative
characteristics Of the wing party. l shall
support him as a nal of peace-as OPP
posed to all wars ofconquest-opposed to
the rapacious policy that would pick a
quarrel with his ~neighbor and then seize
his goods. l support him for his sound
constitutional views in regard to the rela-
tive duties of the respective departments of
the government. Hing Veto will not be
put in chains, but confined to his proper
sphere; he will not he permitted as a ma
rauder, to make forays upon everydepart-
ment Of the Government aud every public
and private interest. l support him also
because [ believe he will suffer the will of
the people to become the law of the peo-
pie within constitutional limits; because 1
believe that things that lie before US in the
unknown future, may be of vastly more
magnitude than all the transient party
questions of the day, and because [ i have
confidence in his moderation and good
sense-above all, in his moderation and
right-mindedness. If | have learned
anything in public life, it is that pure in
t%entions and single mindedness, with a
strong and good sense, are worth more
than the most splendid abilities and the
largest experience without them. 1t
would be sad were it otherwise. He who
seeks it with a singleness of mind, will
rarely miss it. What care | whether Gen.
Taylor cannot play at a game of soRhism
with expert and dexterous political diaIec-
tons? What | do care to know is, that
his views are moderate, conservative ma
tional-alI tending t., peace, to whole
and gradual Development and pro-
gress. He who has learned by expe- |
rience the miseries and horrors of war, if
he be good man, will generally be the
most strenuous advocate of peace as long
as peace can be preserved with national
honor. Who so pacific as Washington
Who could have curbed the wild passions
and preserved peace during the phrenzy
of the French revolution but Washing
ton! Who so powerful an advocate of
peace with the continent of Europe as he
who struggled IN a hundred battle-ields
-SouIt? Who has done So much topre-
serve the peace of Europe as Wellington,

tree Of liberty-that tree which our sires of

the earth. That noble tree is indeed infest-
ed with canker worms; but under the super
attendance and pruning of Old Rough and
Ready, we shall see it again blossom as the

children, and our posterity to the latest time,
shall enjoy the abundance of its fruits, and

California Gold.

The New York Sun is not remarkably
good authority, but if the following from
that paper can be relied upon, the gold-dig-
gers IN California, and those who may be
tempted to go out to that country, thinking
to find there the tabled Ell Dorado, are
doomed to great downcome of their high
soaring expectations

A Glorious Tribute to Old zack.

The Locofocos Of Mississippi held grand
convention at Raymond, Miss, on the Esd
of last month, and Col. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
the Locofoco u. S. Senator from that State
was called on for a speech.
After abiding to the qualification and
claims that Gen. CAss had upon the masses
for their suffrages, he turned with evident
delight to contemplate the virtues and char
acter of the llustrious Gen. TAYLOR. The
following is the glowing picture he drew of
GOLD ZAcH," whose popularity, like a
whrlwind, is penetrating every section of
the land, and whose fair fame is traduced by
parcel Of cowardly scribblers, who dis
course most wisely about Gen'l. TAYLoR's
military deficiencies, when they took ex-
ceeding good care themselves to keep out of
harms way as much as possible. Let the
people read what Col. DAVIS, political
opponent to Gen. TAYLOR, says in regard to
him, and compare its language with that
used by many of his Insignificant reVilers:
He said if any person expected him to
speak i'll of Gen. TAYLOR they would be
disappointed. He knew no i'll of the old
hero, and spoke of him as one of the purest
and noblest men the world has ever seen.
The Colonel seemed greatly moved in speak
ing of Gen. TAYLOR, and his enogwon the
old man was beyond all question the finest
we ever heard Ii was received with invol-
untary applause. He referred to the kind
ness and almost paternal regard shown by
Gen. TAYLOR to the Mssissippians under
his command and was again interrupted by
a storm of cheers. He said the old General
stood godfather to the sons of Mississippi,
when, amid the war and smoke of the fight,
they were baptized in blood on the heights
or puena Vista; and was again compelled
10 pause by hurricane of applause. He
said that during the progress of the battle,
after he (Col. DAvIs) was wounded, Gen.
TAYLOR came and sat down by hm--the firm
determination on his brow seemed struggling
with an expression of deep sorrow for the
brave fellows who had fallen, and those who
were yet to bite the dust-when on being
Intercepted as TO his purposes, he replied,

vines, STAND Firms,


There is systematic plan on foot, in
Grant county, TO divide aud defeat the Wing
party. This is fact, which cannot be de-
nicd. While our party is united in princi-
pies, we are in danger of sacrificing those
principles, simply through disagreement

E5- Little Master Slender, Of the Potos
Republican, affects to understand us Al
warning the Loco Focos of Grant county
against supporting MAT. WooDs for sheriff,
We have done no such thing but we have
shown good reasons why Wings, to whom
he appeals for support, ought not to vote
for him.
Little Slender pretends to deny support
ing Mr.. Golfer, for Judge of Probate
whereas we are prepared to prove, that inn
nlediately after the Wing Convention, little
/ Slender wrote a letter to MIR. Golfer, urg-
ing him to bolt, and offering to announce
him gratuitousIy, if he, Golfer, failed Of
being elected Now we have question to
ask Mr.. Golfer and that is, if he did not,
after losing the nomination for Register last
year, by the Wing Convention, write let
ter in which he signifed his willingness to
be nominated to that office, by the Loco
Focos
Master Slender effects to believe that the
editor of this paper, would not conduct up
rightly in the office of Judge of Probate, if
elected. Now we have lived in Grant coun-
ty, longer than the majority of inhabitants
! in it, and have done business with all sorts
OF men, fairly and upon The square. We
haze nerer s1leaked upon our employer and
pIundered our tenefactor Of his property
/ if We should ever box the whole compass of
employments without gaining credit for hon
esty or capacity and be saved from utter
contempt, only by the good qualities of a
companion whom we had duped into the
living death of matrmony with such a
wretch, we should then be qualified to look
with Master Slender's envy and suspicion,
upon all good men.
What hurts Master Slender, is, that Pro-
bate notices have continued to be published
in the Herald. That we wished to do all
the advertising we could fairly, is true, as of
all publishers but that we ever desired to
increase this expense unnecessarily, is false.
More than half the Probate notices printed
BY us, have been drafted by us, at the re-
quest of the Judge of Probate and notices
drafted by us, have been uniformly brief and
concise. That such notices have not always
been published for a sufficient length of time,
to do justice to all parties, is true and we
have said so we will instance the estate of
HuMEs, GEO. III. Cox, administrator; where
the notice was shown to be insufficient to
reach the brothers of HUMEs. Upon this
ground, mainly, the cause was appealed to
the District Court, aud finally went to the
Supreme Court
Master Slender has devoted part of a
column TO the republication of an article
we wrote some time since, against unIm-
tied suffrage. The only wonder is, that the
Republican should devote so much space to
the truth, rarity with which its reader
are not often treated.
