The following is the latest news from Germany
as transmitted to Liverpool by Telegraph on the
eve of the sailing Of the last steamer:
at is satisfactory TO learn by the advices recev.
ed this morning that the insurrecon at Baden, un-
der Strive, has been completely put down. Struve
and his followers have been completely defeated
by the German forces under Gen. Hoffernan. The
engagement was of determined kind; the nsur-
gents fought with great bravery. Siruve himself
was taken prisoner, tried by court martial, and
shot; the same sentence also passed upon eight
Of his followers who were taken prisoners along
with him. The free corps are exterminated, all
but one thousand men, who still hang together, and
who will probably fall into the hands Of the Wur-
temburg troops.

WHIG NOMINATIONS.

The distinguished Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, the Hon. ROBERT c. WINTHROP, was
renominated for Congress in Boston on Friday last
We are exceedingly glad to learn that this gentle.
.man has yielded to the earnest wishes Of his dis
trict The nomination was at first declined, in ac-
cordance with previous intimation publicly given,
but Mr.. WINTHROP has been induced to reverse this
purpose, and has again. though very reluctantly,
after nine years service in the House Of Represen-
tatives, assented to the nomination.
That excellent Representative, the Hon. JU-
LIus ROCKWELL, has been nominated in the Pitts
field district of Massachusetts, for reelection.
In the Sd district Of New York the Hon. J. PHIL
LIPS PHGNN has been nominated for Congress.
This gentleman has already served with ability in
the House Of Representatives, and his nomination
will be hailed with satisfaction by all who know
him.
In the 9Th district, the Hon. JAMES MONROE has
been unanimously nominated for the remaining
term Of the present Congress. There was no great
favorie in the House than this estimable gentle
man when he was formerly in Congress, and his
return TO il viii be most gratifying to his numerous
friends. At tie last election, it will be remember
ed, the seat was contested, ID. s. JACKSON receiving
the certificate, but was ousted by the House. JAS.
Brooks, the distinguished editor Of the Express,
has been nominated TO represent the district in the
next Congress.
We are very glad to see that the Hon. WILLIAM
DUER, Of the 23d district, has waived his express
desire TO retire from Congress- and has accepted a
nomination for reelection.
In New Jersey, JAMES G. KING has been nomi-
mated for Congress in the place Of the Hon. Dudley
s. GREGORY, who we regret to find positively decln-
ed reelection. He WILL however, have worthy
successor. The New York Tribune well observes
that, to an extensive and diversified acquaintance
with the business interests Of the country, Mr. KING
unltes the abilities which dignity and the virtues
which honor public staon and his intimate ac-
quaintance with the commerce and trade Of the
country eminently fit him for distinguished service
in the revision Of our national policy which will
devolve on our next Congress 1t is tadds the Tri-
bune one OF the best signs Of the coming era that
an unusual number of strong men are being chosen
to the next Congress.

pass them aIiue Gen. TAYLOR.
What sententious sublimity is embodied in his
sentence How strikingy il excmplifes the Old
Hero's humanity! lndomable courage and the
tenderest sympathy are beautifully blended in his
noble character. This language was addressed,
while the terrible conflict OF Buena Vista was at its
height, to the gallant DAVIS, OF Mississippi. He
had been cut down at the head of his regiment.
He knew the merciless spirit of the enemy, and
that to fall into their hands was certain DEATH II
was doubtless an allusion to this spirit which eli
cited this sublime remark. "The wounded are
behind me- says Old Zack. "They are secure
until we are driven from our present position. The
odds are fearfully against Us, and may be beat
en-; but you, and the noble men who, like you,
have been wounded, are safe SO long as we i've
for WE WILL NEVER PASS THEM ALIvE!'
The occasion upon which this language was ut
tered was one OF affecting interest. With $500
men, Gen. TAYLOR was fighting 10000 Mexicans.
He saw his men falling upon every hand, and the
enemy rushing forward with furious courage and
impetuosity unequalled in any previous combat
The stoutest hearts trembed for the issue. Defeat
seemed inevitable. While thus pressed, and when
the bravest expected every moment to be compelled
to give way under the weight of the mass advane-
ing upon them, Gen. TAYLOR. in the same breath
that he issued his orders and cheered on his brave
followers, was pressing the hand and pouring the
words of comfort into the ear Of his wounded

THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.


Il have been, am, and will continue to be, =
said Mirabeau, 81 man of the People, in defiance
of the privileged orders, because their privileges
are perishable, but the people are eternal"
So shouts every demagogue who seeks to cajoe,
deceive and use the people as instruments; and all
history abounds with proof of success on one side,
and on the other delusion. But the demagogue is
gambler; his game has all the elements, and is
subject to all the changes and, as to final success,
has to receive the almost sure fate of the gambler
as his reward. Mankind alas are prone to hunger
and thirst after fattery. The fowery language OF
the interested decever is heard with admiration and
believed with momentary credulity. But in the
end, wo to the seducer! Truth will o,f and, like
the volcano, the longer pent, the more terrific the
explosion.
Political corruption has been exposed, explained,
and presented with its inherent deformity in Mr..
]. P. KENNEpY's Address. We hope our readers
will not shrink from this exposition because of its
length. In proportion to the extent OF the evil, the
matter of seven columns Of our paper can be only
an index.
It is false in philosophy it is in logic to say
"smaA causes produce great Effects" The effects
are, the contrary in most cases rather less than
greater than the cause. There is now an upheav-
ing of the moral mass, and many are they who
must politically sink to rise no more before the ele-
meDts resume quiescent state; but ii is solacng,
nevertheless, to reflect that though the revolution
has been provoked, the people Of the United States
seek not to destroy, but to renovate and what they
have to renovate we cannot pretend to specify in
an editorial paragraph. Such work to describe,
would demand volume of no small number Of
pages, and previously demands nation to execute.
We may observe, and recommend it to our readers
to observe, that the first barrcade to remove is the
monstrous dogma that no national work of peace is
constitutional second, and that the nation is forbid
to defend its own industry.
The people have risen to drive away the build
and defenders of these bsrricades, and, though
determined in their purpose and warmed by hav-
ing been deceived, proceed with the calm ration
ality of men who have been exposed to wrong, and
with that magnanimity which seeks to disarm and,
if not forget at least forgive. We do not this
language to round period. We are describing
what we conscientousy regard the real nature of a
revolution in progress. The United States have
actually been retrograding into clanship; the i'm
peral power standing in the way of carrying into
effect the most necessary purpose of nation
ality. Many nations have not performed great
works, nor conceived their value but we have had
the fiat pronounced that our organic construction
forbids the attempt. Had not the promulgaton Of
such doctrines become history, no person would
dare to predict their possibility. 1t is time indeed
for reaction. Forbearance has become, if not a
crime, most destructive error.
