Dear Sir:-I have the honor to receive
your communication of June 10th, announ-
cling that the Wing Convention, which assem-
bed at Philadelphia on the 18th of that month
and of which you were the presiding officer,
has nominated me for the Office of President
of the United States.
Looking to the composition of the Conven-
ton, and its numerous and patriotic cons,itu-
ents, feel duly grateful for the honor be-
slowed upon me--for the distinguished con-
fidence implied in my nomination TO the
highest office in the American people. cor
daily accept that nomination but in the sin
cere distrust of my fitness 10 fulfill The duties
of an office which demands Tor its exercise
the most exalted abilities and patriotsm and
which has been rendered illuslrious by the
greatest names in our history; but should
the selection of the Wing Convention be con-
firmed by the people, | shall endeavor tc
discharge the new duties then devolving upon
me so as to meet the expectations of my fel-
low citizens, and preserve undiminished the
prosperity and reputation of our common
country.
have the honor to remain, with the kind
est respect, your obedicnt servant.

~ OrR CANDIpATE.-From present ap-
pearances we think that Col. VIM. Biglcr Of
Cleariield, is the most prominent candidate
for Governor. A strong effort is making i'll
some of the Eastern Counties, for Morris
Longstreth, at present one of the board OF
Canal Commissioners, worthy and most
excellent man. MIR. Bigler, however, will, we
think, be more acceptable TO the North and
West He is self made man, in the meri-
dian of life He occupied, for several years
past. a seat in the State Senate, and has been
Speaker of that body. Freed from any con-
ncc,ion with partisan cliques: he would pro-
badly unite the party as closely as any other
man. Judge Eldred has also been nominated
at large meeting at Harrisburg, and other
places. Judge Eldred is a worthy NAM
and would make an excellent Governor. He
has many warm personal and political friends
throughout the commonwealth but particu-
larly in the Northern part of the State.

THE INDEPENDENT STATE TAYLOR CoNvEN-
TIoN OF MARYLAND assembled in Baltimore
on Thursday to read and act upon the letter
recently received from Gen. Taylor in rcla-
ton 10 the Independent Taylor nomination.
Charles II. Pitts, Esq, stated that after the
nomination of Gen Taylor by the Wing Ma
tional Convention, and the position in which
he had been there placed by the action of
the Louisiana delegation, the committee Of
corresdondencc had thought proper TO address
Gen. Taylor on the subject. TO this letter
they had received a reply, containing a re-
quest that the same should not be made pub
lie. In order 10 comply as far as possible
with this request, he therefore proposed tha,
the Convention proceed 10 the consideration
of the subject with closed doors; and that all
persons except members of the Convention,
the Committee of Correspondence, and the
electoral candidates, be requested 10 with
draw. The resolution was adopted. The
Convention continued in session with closed
doors until two o'clock, and then nd journcd.
A resolution was adopted dissoying the In
dependent Taylor party, and requesting the
electoral candidates TO Withdraw. 1t was
also decided that in Difference TO the request
of Gen. Taylor, his letter in reply to the one
add lresse1to him.,hXvtbe SaJRmiilGa Of G9I
time as he or his friends, acting in his be-
half, should authorize the same.

Ir Is RUMoRED that General Taylor's letter
to the Independent Taylorites of Maryland;
distinctly states that the Louisiana delegation
had no shadow of authority for their conduct
in the Philadelphia Convention; but as the
pledge had been made, he did not think pro-
per to disavow them, and desired his letter
not to be published. We do not know how
true this statement is. but it is made in seve-
raj quarters, and the fact will probably draw
out the letter for publication if there is any
misrepresentation in the statement. In the
official proceedings of the Taylor Convention,
one fact is mentioned not before stated, which
was, that a resolution was offered by Mr.. Ar
cher, declaring that 'after calm and de-
liberate examination of the recent letter OF
General Taylor to Messrs. Pitts and others,
and the statement of Judge Saunders to the
Philadelphia Convention which he has recog-
nized, we find nothing in them 10 require OF
even to justify his Independent friends i'll
Withdrawing from him their confidence and
support" This resolution was laid on the
table by vote of % 10 10.

THE VOLUNTEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS have
The average amount each man got was $50.
This is in addition to the land bounty, (l6O
acres) which is WORTH nominaly, 5000, and
in lieu of which, if he prefer it, every volun-
teer receives from the treasury department
800 in scrip, bearing per cent. interest.
Some of the men have received as high as
$40 in money, and none less than about $40.
Nearly all have elected TO take their land
scrip instead of the communications Some er-
roneousy believe that by transferring their
certificates of discharge, by sale or otherwise,
they can transfer the right TO their land scrip
The Boston Post says:
"Wi,h his scrip, or land title, which he can
sell for S1i0 a Sl25 readily, each man at the
close of the campaign finds himself possess
sed of money, or its ready equivalent TO the
amount of $50 TO $3.50; and we should like
to know in what branch of ordinary mechan-
ical business the employer can save so much
from eighteen months labor. The advan-
tage of paying off the volunieersa at home (for
it has been argued that had they received
their pay in New Orleans il would have been

man is required 10 sign the payroll, his mo-
ney is then given him, and the roll is forward
ed to Washington. His residence is set down
against his name, and the department for
ward to his address his land warrant Had
they received their money and warrants in
New Orleans, how many of their land scrips
would ever have been brought home, or how
much money would they have had left on
reaching Massachusetts The government
has taken the very best and by far the most
acceptable course to those directly interested
and the volunteers not only appreciate this,
but they are generally in excellent, spirits just
now. as any one may discover by commune
eating with them"

STATISTICS or THE MEXICAN WAR.-The
New Orleans Bulletin is summing up the los
scs in the Mexican war, by death in the bat
lie field and by disease. The former bear
bu, small proportion 10 the latter. The
soldier in Mexico had much less danger 10
encounter from the bullets of the foe than
from the inhospitable climate. The whole
number of Americans killed in the war. i'll
cuding the line of the Rio Grande and that
of Vera Cruz, is estimated at 1000, and the
wounded at 1000. 1t is impossible TO say
how many OF the latter have died in conse-
qucnce of their wounds, but we should sup
pose not less than one fourth, say l0OO ma
king in all 5000 deaths from battle.
The ravages of disease were terrible. AT
Perote there are 1900 American graves, all
victims OF disease. AT the City of Mexico
the deaths were, for the greater part of the
time, 1000 monthly.
The first Mississippi Regiment that went,
out TO the Rio Grande, buried l35 on the
banks of that river before il ever went into
battle, and finally brought back less than one
thild of their number. They suffered dread
fully at Buena Vista.
The first and second PENNSYLVANIA Rcri
menis, recen ly returned, went out 1900
strong, 1900 each y they brought home about
600 of their original number. About 22O fell
in battle, nearly 400 died, and about GOO
were discharged as unfit for duty. How ma

unknown.
The third and fourth Tennessee Regiments,
also recently returned, lost $50 by death
Neither of these regiments have been in ac.
ton.
Capt, Naylor, of Pennsy yvania, took down
a company OF lOi men, he brought back
Secenteen; he entered the battle of Contreras
with 33 men, he brought 10 out of it.
The most iriehtlul instance of mortality.
however, that we have heard Of was in Thai
gallant corps, the Georgia Battalion com.
manded by gallant and accomplished oni-
Ger, Colonel Seymour.
They were considered acclimated. and
actually suffered much less whilst in the lo,v-
er country, than when marched into the in
terror, on the high land. The battalion wen,
TO Mexico 4l9 strong about 22O actually
died large number We're discharged with
broken down and ruined constitutions: and
many OF them, no doubt, have since gone TO
their graves; and the battalion was reduced
TO Mt'yjour men fit for duty! On one pa
rade, when certain company was called,
that had mustered upwards of 100 men. a
single prirae answered to the call, and was
It's sole living representative. The Captain,

WESTERN ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR.

the AbolitionisIs of the West, TO hold an An
ti-Slavery Fair, was abundantly crafty ing /;
and fully demonstrated the practicability and
usefulness o: the plan. The Call was prompt
ly responded TO by many, the avails of whose
labor greatly aided the Western Anti Slavery
Society, and enabled it to prosecute its work
with renewed vigor. The exigencies of the
cause demand as much sacrifice and effort
now as were needed then. The victory OF
Freedom is not yet won-the clank Of the
bondman's letters has not yet ceased-Amer
lean women are still chattelized and imbruted
The blighting influence that slavery has ex.
