Gen. Taylor and
Slavery.

The stale and tLreadbare argument OF the
Free Sellers, that Gen. Taylor IS a Southern
man, and consequently is in favor of the ex-
tension Of Slavery, and opposed to the Viii
mot Prouso, Is frequently rebuked by the
Wing papers at the South. 1t is so exceed
ingly ridiculous to assume that because man
resides within certain geographical limits ihathe
must necessarily entertain sectional views, that
it would hardly seem worth awhile to make a
denial. Yet so strenuous are the Van Buren,
ties in rersisting that Gen Taylor must be in
favor of Slavery extension that We cannot pass
over the absurd and unwarrantabe accusation
without single remark.
We are not only told hat Gen Taylor IS IN
favo- of Slavery extension. by the vociierous
a,o.tles Of Van Brrcn, but that he Ii not a

given in his two Allison letters that he is 4
Wbig-always was-and always will be, we
think those very conscientious Wings place
themselves in no very enviahle light before an
enlightened people. Where in all the history
Of Martin Van Buren's life can any body find
where he has avowedhis unqualified opposition
70 what the Liberty men have so long and
loudly contended for, viz: abolition of Slave
~ in the District Of Columbia, but on the 9TH
er hand, his whole opposition to that accused
Institution is based upon circumstances He
is not willing after the Buffalo platform has
been erected, with every plank fitted as was
supposed with special reference to his former
views, to step on fully. lest he might be fully
committed against some of his darling projects
which no longer ago than last June he goried
ip.-such as Free Trade and the Sub-IrcdS-
urv. and he goes on to recommend Direct
Torot;on instead Of a Protective Tariff

LATER FROM MEXICO


| BY the steamer James l.. Day, Capt. Wood,
we have received our files of Mexican papers TO
the 18th inst, but as they only came to hand
late last evening we have given them but a cur
sorry examination.
Senior Yanez ma rched on the 11th inst; at
the head OF 600 men to put down The attempt
ed revolution, headed BY Paredes and Jarauta
at Lagos. Should this number be insufficient
to quell the revolt, the Government would de
spatch 2000 troops more, with fourteen pieces
of artillery. The Legion OF St, Patrick formed
a part of [, 600 men. Their withdrawal TO
march upon Lagos, had delayed the departure
of c0nductG from Queretaro which they Were
! to ha e escorted.
| A. there are NOR, deserteTs from the Ameri-
can arLly in Mexico than are required for the
ranks of the Legion, ii is proposed to incorpo-
rate portion of them into the police force OF
the city of Mexico. These deserters are evil
IDENTIFY main stay of the Governments kind
of Swiss Guard which promises 10 be very ser,
viceable If they will but adhere TO the admin
istration.
An incursion of 1000 Comanches from the
direction of Psso del Norte to the interior is
apprehended in Durango. and they are raising
h 'aven and earth TO mcet-them. The clergy is
called UPON to contribute money and aity to en-
list. e
When P ma Pena left Queretaro under an
escort for the capital, scores of people took adj
vantage of ii to make the journey in safety
The roads in all directions arr st with no! :
bers and outlaws. The Mexicans have Just
begun 10 speculate upon the projected republic
Of the Sierra Madre. They put little faith in
the scheme, not knowing how extensively the
owls are out.
Gen. Minon had marched to attack the rev.
olutionists at Lagos. but having only AGO men
while Jarauta had collected twice that number
Minon deemed il prudent to fall back to Leon
This revolt of Jarauta is giving the Government
more trouble, we imagine, than the papers like
to confess. We find many illusions, too; in
the papers to the Indian instructions. Jarau-
ia allules to the latter in his proclamltions, as
an indication Of the weakness of the govern
ment. while he probably foments them.
The Mexicans are congratulating themselve:
upon the recovery of twenty-five pieces of ar
tillery taken from them at Contres and Chapul
tepec. Ii had been reported among them tina
the Americans had carried them off as trophies
We will recur to our files, though upon q
mere glance at them they do not promise L
contain any thing of moment.-N. Orleans
