THE UNION.
WAsnNoToN, June IS, 1913.
To the Editor of the U,lson :

10 the Editor Of the U,llon.
That Mr. Clay is well all pleased with the nomi-
nation OF Gen Iaylor-as Gen. Coombs asserts he is,
and as is pretended by the extract of letter published by
the Express and copied by the neligencer of the 18th
inst have the best reasons in the world TO know Is
not true.
THIS effort of the friends of the soldier to satisfy the
admirers of the statesman of Kentucky that he is
and well pleased at the cold repulse given him al Pha
tephia In reward for HIS long services in behalf oil
his party piece of the coolest impudenee OF the day
Mr. Clay in the presence of the writer of this, express
ed himself most fully in relation to the proposed election
of Gen Taylor and in that conversations he condemned
the election of the General grounds of public policy
as giving the executive power OF the government-area
dy too large in his opinion and in practice increasing in
but MILITARY direction and impulse dangerous 10 the
liberties of the country He opposed TO the election
Of Taylor not merely because he was, by his own
esson only general but because he not consistent
as politician. He said the General was then willing to
accept nomination from democrats, wings, natives
but would not be held bound by the principles OF either
"The Sage OF Ashland" the wings delighted to
call him, only knew achg by his avowed, public sup
port of the principles OF the wing party and in analysing
the ''animql wg" he found that, according to this has
test and only criterion, Gen Taylor, wanting
Mr. Clay had looked upon the of public events
for a long time with great regret:
Some twenty years since, the democratic party had
elected military hero to the presidency what he
garded personal grounds and in that election he had
avaingly exer,ed his power and influence to prevent
wha he could regard only great public error and ms
fortune.
And, notwithstanding the position then taken by the
wing party then auere noc about to do the same thing He
feared the consequences of such result He said the
movement in favor of Gen. Taylor Of the poll
ticia,is, and not of the people.
Now submit, that this effort to make the public be-
leve that Mr. Clay is pleased, at all satisfied with
what has been DONE is most audacious and impudent
Mr.. Clay cannot, without the most complete and entire
abandonment Of both consistency and principle either
approve the nomination. aid the election of Gen Tay
lor That he will do either is not at all likely to those
who have had the means of learning his views the
subject from his own lips.

MALACHI FALLoN, esq.
The Middlebury galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1848-1850, 1848-05-23

This gentleman was native Of Philadelphia,
and was about thirty-four years OF age. lie
was an extensive cotton broker, and 1t is sup
posed that the late revulsions in cotton had
caused them considerable losses. We see by
the New Orleans papers that nothing had been
heard of the brother in that city, and his fam
ily have advertised for information of him.
Both of them had communicated to their fami-
lies their intention not to live. The Mobile
Register, speaking of Mr.. E. L. Andrews,
says:
"Letters received from him make it certain
that the apprehended failure of his house had
so proved upon his mind that he had deter
mined not to survive, although the manner of
his contemplated death was not minated.
The house has, through the worst Of times,
hitherto sustained an unimpeachable credit,
and its honor was passion with Mr.. A. so
strong that he could not bear to live under q
protest. His private accounts are all accurate
ly and satisfactorily arrranged-his personal
obligations were all settled-and every cent
which has reached him appears to be duly ac-
counted for He left his watch, purse, and
other pocket articles, in his private drawer,
and communicated his leave-taking to bis part
ner and wife by letter. There is strong
feeling in the community for the departed.
Through a mercantile career Of uncommon
length, considering his years-for he was hard
" beyond middle age-he has been noted for
high and scrupulous sense of honor, and was
held in the highest credit. The dread of los
ing his position, it seems, drove him to his end
that, at least, is the conviction of all who
knew him. or had had past dealings with him. !"

THE YUCATAN BILL.

1t will be seen by referring to our Con-
gressional record, that the Senate have
been employed the last week or two IN
discussing bill for the aid and relief
land swaliowing) of Yucatan. This bill
had its origin in the earnest petitions Of
Senior Sierra, a commissioner and special
agent of the Yucatan Government, who
asks for the interference Of the United
States against the empowering numbers
of the Indians who have risen in rebellion
against them. OF the character of tie
ravages and massacres perpetrated by the
Indians, our readers are already aware.
Some facts, however, connected with this
Instruction, are not probably so general
ly known.
The White race in Yucatan are of
course Spanish in their origin, and in all
important respects like their immediate
neighbors, the Ne1icans. This State has
been member of the Mexican Confede-
racy-and only few years since lin 1883,
we believe) tried the experiment of an IN
dependent government.
This Independent movement was car"
ried by an appeal to the aid ofthe Indian
race, though opposed by all the more So
Der portion of the White inhabitants, TOR

humanity. Their pertnasicns cannot fail at
the right time to free the master from the
slave and the slave from the master ; perhaps
before the latter shall have found ont and ac-
knowledged that the relation between the par
ties had long been mutually pre- Judicial to their
worldly interests.
There i, no csil without in the order Of
Providence, some compromising benefits. The
bleeding African WAS torn from his savage
home by his ferocious neishbors, sold into
slavery and cast upon this continent. Here
j., the mild South, the race has wonderfully
multiplied, compared with ANYTHING ever
known in the barbarous life. The descend
ants of a few thoutands have become many
millions and all, from the first made acquaint-
ed with the arts of civilization, and above all,
brought under tie light of the Gospel.
From the promise made TO Abraham some
two thousand wears had elapsed before the adj
vent of our Savior, and the lsrEelites. the cho-
sen people Of God, were fer wise purposes, sut-
fcred to remain in bondage longer than Arr
cans have been on our shore. This race has

has never been able TO penetrate the dark re-

THE SUPPOSED DOUBLE SUICIDE.

The uncertainty which existed at Mobile
and New Orleans relative to the disappear
ancc Of E. L. and u. Andrews, both of the firm
of Andrews & Co. is partially determined by
the finding of the body of the former, at Mo
bile, under circumstances which left no donbt
of suicide. His body was found on the 26th
ult., near the wharf, whence it was supposed
that he had thrown himself, and where his hat
and umbrella were found the Saturday previ-
Gus. 1t had risen from decomposition and was
easily identified. His pockets were found
loaded with weights, to secure him from rising.
