We would earnestly commend to the
attention Of every Wing the following
article from the N. Y Express, paper
that, before the National Convention,
ably and vigorously urged the nomination
Ofanothcr candidate, but now supports the
ticket whose defeat is wo, and whose
successis fraught with priceless blessings:
That General Taylor must be the next
President and Millard Fillmore the next
Vice President, is settled thing-but
! it is settled, just as it is settled that corn
will grow, ifyou plant it, plow it. hoe it,
and thesunshine and the rain fall upon it
LOcofocoism is a weed that will choke
any field of corn, and spoil any crop,
when the farmer does not keep plowing
aud hoeing-and then Gen. Taylor will
not grow and flourish. if good principles
are not shown to shine about his name.
and the wishes and prayers Of good men
do not fall upon him. "Spontaneous
combustion" is an exception 10 law.

Gen. Buffers Humanity.

Some of the Locofoco papers are
speaking with deserved commendation
of Gen. Buffers orders pardoning all per-
sons under sentence of death, and prison

From The Connecticut Courant.

Mr.. Editor: | perceive in a late Daily
Couraht, a statement of the moneys re-
ceived by Gen. Cass from the U. S.
Treasury, in which the most of the items
are distinctly given. The statement is
undoubtedly correct On seeing the de.
tails of the amount, "within fraction of
$3.50 ,OOO," was induced to look at the
sum paid to Gen. Washington during his
services in the revolutionary war The
following is copy of paragraph from
DR.. Ramsay's History of the American
Revolution:
"Thc army being disbanded, the Com
mandcr.in. Chief proceeded to Annapo-
lis. then the seat of Congress, to resign
his commission. On his way thither. he
delivered 10 the Comptroller in Phladel-
phia. an account of the expenditures of
all the public money he had ever received
This was in his own handwriting, and
every entry was mad in very particular
manner. The whole sum which, in the
course ofthe war, had passed through his
hands, amounted onlyto Gl4,37O 1Ss. Cd.
sterling. Nothing was charged or re.
tained as reward for personal services,
and actual disbursement had been man
aged with such economy and fidelity. that
they were all covered by the above mod
crate sum-"
The sum mentioned is $66,1S4. This
must have included the expenses of his
military family, secret service money,
travelling expenses, and numerous other
items. The period was seven years and
a half. A. B.

Thus was slavery introduced into Tex
as. The first emigrants to that country
carried no slaves with them. The poll
cy proposed by Cass and the slavery ex-
teniionists, invites to The same course, in
New Mexico and California, ifnot in Or
egon. Aud let it he remembered. that
when the Republic Of Texas became a
State. she introduced into her State con-
stitution the clause prohibiting tie abOii.
tioo or slarery; and. with new enactments
in favor of slavery, she was admitted into
our Union.
With these examples before us, ii
seems very clear. that The only safe course
is. to insert the clause Of the Ordinance
of 1887 into every act organizing Terri
tories in the United States Cm. Gas.

matter on which his sentiments have of
late been very much misrepresenied.
WAsHINGToN. July 26, ls4S.
Sir: In answer to the inquiry contain
ed in your favor of the 2lst inst, have
the honor to say, that hearing from many
of our friends that Hon. John Quincy Aj-
ans was in favor of Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency, | took occasion To introduce
the subject of the candidacy in CONVEX
saiion with him, by asking him whom the
Wings would run. His answer was,
Gen. Taylm. | expressed some dissat-
isfaction at such nomination, and he re-
plied-thathe prefer, ed him TO any South-
ern man; that hebeIieced him To be lie only
man phO could break dorm this corrupt
Admiaistration, and close this miserable
,oar; and a0Ould do more to curb The spirit
ofHOnquest, aud chcckthespreadof Slaoery
than any man the Wigs could elect. In
another conversation with him on this
subject. he expressed the same general
views, and said that Gen. Taylor as a
soldier was bound to ohey the orders of
the President, and could not as an hon
orable man resign his commission in time
of war, when his country wanted his SER
vices. These conversations were held
with Mr.. Adams some time in January,
as near as | can now recollect.
Very respectfully, your obi servant,
