Upon the subject of General Taylor's pros
poets, the able and influential paper, the Chill
licOthe (0hio) GGsette, we'll remarks that no.
thing but death can prevent his election. We
concur with our Ohio contemporary, in his
bright andCipations of Gen. Taylor,s success.
All the arts and name veriDg of experienced
and crafty politicians will be of no avail. Gen.
Taylor is the man Of hepcoplc, and felt to be
such by the masses, both north and south, both
east and west. He is the man of the country.
to whose service his life has been dcyoted.-

The proposition for the imposition Of direct
taxes to support the war, and pay the interest
and Prin ciPal Of the debt incurred in its prose-
]cution, has come from The Democratic side of
the house. Mr.. Wilmot, Of Pennsylvania, Of
fered the resolution, that the Committee on
Ways and Means inquire into the exPediency
Of imposing a direct tax, to the extent of five
millions a year, on personal and other property,
stocks, etc. The Wings all voted forit. II
was with great difficulty that the other side
could be persuaded to vote at all, Twenty
nine Democrats voted in the negative, and the
rest refused to vote. This is a strong indica-
ton Of the purpose of the House to accompany
the supplies with a direct tax, Mr.. Wilmoti is
q Free Trade, anti-protecuve man, and his pur.
pOseis to avoid the necessity Of resorting to a
higher tariff for the revenue.

From MoNrEREY.-The Delta of the 18th
contains several items Of interest, copied from
the Monterey Gazette of the 26th ult. The
Gazette says:
There were five Mexicans hanged in saltillo
a few days ago, for the murder Of three Missis-
s%ippians.
IT'S said that there are more arrested, and
are under examination, for participatingin the
same deed. We are glad to see such summary
measures adopted with all such blood hounds.
Col. Coraseo, of the Mexican army, is in
town, We are not conversant with the object
of his visit, but presume it is Of a friendly ma
ture.

The Washington Union has virtually read
the Hon. David Wllmot out of the ranks, for
having the hardihood to propose the raising
Of $~5,0O0,000, by direct taxation.
1t was only a short time since the Union
asserted "that direct taxation was essentially
a Democratic doctrine" 1t certainly is essen

The following letter is from the editor Of the
Pittsburg Gazette, now at Washington city,
We were apprized several months ago, of the
contents of the letter of Gen, Taylor which we
presume is here referred to, but the information
was communicated to us in confidence. The
letter was addressed to one of the most distinG-
uisl ed wings in the country
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, l848.
Mr.. Clay is promised a hearing in the SUI
preme Court on Monday next. He will not re-
main long in the city after this; but will proba-
bly, visit Philadelphia where he has business,
and perhaps New York before returning home
An invitation is before him from the citizens o.
the District, to partake of public dinner, which
he will not probably accept.
Ihear of another letter from Gen. Tay lor, il
regard to the Presidency. 1t confirms, of
course his Wing predictions, as such a man
is not capable Of disgusting his sentiments upor
any subject where deeming il proper to max
them public. II elected, he says he shall sur
round himself with a Wing Cabinet, but in re.
gard to the minor Offices he does not propose ex
Guiding the party opposed to him from a partici
patton in their benefits. OF this letter and 9th
er portions oft, may speak more fully here
after.
We copy the above from the Louisville Jour
nal. The letter from Gen. Taylor to which
, reference is made, is, we suppose in the pos
session of Mr., Crittenden, and will be comhu
nicatedto the Wing National Convention.

COMMUNICATED

MR, EDITOR: The genius Of our country
seems hitherto disposed to exhibit itself rather
in works Of a grave and practical character,
than in those displays Of poetic ardor which
40 often mark the history Of other nations-so
trae iS this, that Americans are frequently
heard Iamenting the absence Of "lrue poetry
10 theirliterature. But who will doubt after
~hayingfead the following verses, that there is
a new splrit spripging up in our midst-a spirit
that will elevate tho feeling Of the age to
things lofty and sublime; each word t" broaths
the soul Of poetry,'' and every line bears the
Impression Of that pure passion which makes
the poet and the poets theme.

The readers of the Reporter cannot have forgotten
the extract which we published from the Hawkeye,
headed every RICH" giving statement of ridicu-
lous conversation which A. H. PALMER, ESQ., should
have had with Col. BAKER, Of Gaena, in which the
former told the latter gentleman that the democrats
OF Iowa had large corruption fund to use in the
election, &C.; and how we since published state
ment from Col. Baker, wing as he is, fatty and pos
ltlVely denying the whole statement made by the
Hawkeye, which letter of Col. Baker, by the wayhe
Old cur Of the Hawkeye has never yet had the fair.
ness or the courage either to publish or deny.
We alude to this subject again at present in con-
necton with the fact that that unprincipled sheet is
just now crying SO Justify about sslocofoco corrup-
tion,' that intutively led to the belief that
there is some stupendous scheme of wing fraud and
hog driving going on where, and that all this
cry Of. stop thief" is only intended as ruse to i-
vert public attention from some dark and damning
act of wing villiany. We conure our friends every
where to be on their guard. The wings are PLAYING
desperate game to carry the Legislature, and thro,
it the election of wing U. S. Senator's.

viii be recOlleCtcd what great dust some Of
the whig papers of this state attcmI ted kick up,
because 4 few democratic Senators and Representa-
tiIes accompanied Gen. Cass part Of the way
home, on the occasion of his resigning his seat in
the L. s. Senate. This too, Yves 81 time when tho
business OF Congress necessarily suspended. on
account Of the absence of the wing members, who
were at Philadelphia Esdoing'' their party in the
* National Slaughter-house.'' Then these papers
made great hue and cry about 'deseItirg their
stitucnts and squandering their money sc. Our
for abiding to this subject now is to notice
the fact, announced in the wing paper at Dubuque,
that Gen. WILSON, whig NJ. c. from New Hampshire,
is in that city, visit to his friends.' We
strongly inclined to think the object ofhis vsit'
is, to pull the wires in the Second Congressional
District. OF course, cannot be expected to know
any thing definite about it; we only wish to mention
the fact in connection with that of Mr.. LEFFLER's
refusal to desert the interests of his constituents at
Washington, for the purpose of attending to his
at home.

A Emit for Anti-SIaVery Men.

In the last Hawkeye is an article fish
ing for abolition votes, which begins as
follows:
''The wings of this State are fully COM
mitted to the support of the Wilmot Pro-
viso principle. This is as it should be. ,"
Very like, very like, Mr.. Hawkeye;
and the wings Of this State are also fully
committed to the support of one Zachary
Taylor-the owner of several negro plan
tations and THREE HUNDRED Ne
GROs-one of the very first men who
Introduced slavery into the new free
territory, by the opening of negro plan
tation between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande-one Of your real Louisiana Plan
tiers. -....
"Free-territory" and "Wilmot-Proviso-
Wings" forsooth! Away with such elar-
ing hypocrisy. And these are the argu-
ments(?) by which the Hawkeye hopes
to gull the people into voting for members
of the Legislature who will elect U. S.
Senators pledged to scarry out Gen. Tay-
lor's views" 1t is trite saying that ssthe
Tools are not all dead yet" We will ven
ture the assertion, however, that there are
none extant in Iowa so excessively green
as to be taken in by this silly bait.

A SURRENDER.-Our readers recollect
General Taylor's positive declarations that
he would not withdraw his name as can
didate if Mr.. Clay was nominated at tbs
Wing National Convention. AT the PHI
iadelphia convention, however, Mr.. San
ders stated that he and his colleagues were
authorized to withdraw General Tavlor,S
name as candidate for the presidency, if
not nominated by the whig convention
lhis was so directly in the face of all that
General Taylor had written, that It was
thought said Sanders acted without autho-
rity. 1t will be seen that General Tavlor
now sanctions the whole proceeding. Let
1t not now be said that "General Tavlor
never surrenders." After all his lottv
professions, he has surrendered to moor
whigery: f'''
GLNrRAL TAYLoR.-The undersigned,
whose names are affixed to the card 5ere
to appended, make this publication at the
special Instance Of General Zachary Tay-
Tor himself. From sundry articles which
nave appeared in several of the public
journals OF the city of New Orleans. Gen
erai Taylor is given to understand that
persons claiming to speak of him, have
produced the impression that he is not sa-
tisfed with what Judge Sanders, and the
other members of the Louisiana deleaation
to the national wing convention who acted
with him, saw fit to say and do in that b.
d,y in his General Tay lor's behalf; and
that he repudiates such acts and sayings.
Lld these rumors and reports affect only
hlmseli, General Taylor would not trouble
the pubic concerning them; but as they
affect, whether SO intended or not, the
good report and candor of gentlemen whose
partiality for him has made them objects
of reproach and suspicion, be feels con-
strained, by sense Of duty and Justice, TO
authorize them TO be met by a distinct and
peremptory denial.
A CARD.-We are authorized by Gen
eral Taylor to say that the course of tie
Louisiana delegation in the wing cony,n-
ton, lately assembled at FhiIateIphiu meets
his entire, full, and unequivccal approJu-
ton.
That he not only never doubted, but
never lntlmated a doubt, that his honor ana
reputation were safe in their hands.

The Little Tricks of "a Little Man

We are informed that the wing candi-
date for the State Senate in this district.
among other very small tricks of which
he was guilty ON his late electioneering
tour. currently circulated the two follow
ing reports: First, that his opponent, Mr..
ALGER, had been a resident OF the State
but eighteen months, and secondly that he
{ Mr.. A was not the choice of the Mus
catine delegation to the democratic dis
trict convention. Both of those false
hoods are manufactured out of whole
cloth. AS to the first, we would state
that Mr.. Alger has been a resident of To-
wa ever since lS45, at which time he pur-
chased the farm upon which he now re-
sides. AS regards the second assertion
above alluded to, we will state, that of the
twelve delegates who represented Mus
catine in the district convention, all but
three were in favor of Mr.. Alger as their
first choice, and so voted. There was
but one ballot, which stood % for Aleer.
to 3 against. Try it again little one.

Bifin: ones uvy,s EoSC oil.

II is natural 10 suppose that among the long list of
democratic candidates now before the people, many
may have personal enemies among the mS1hbers OF
party. But it is not natural to suppose that
any democrat in his senses, who has the least regard
for his principles, would sacrifice them all upon the
altar of his private resentments, by aiding directly
or Indirectly, to defeat particular nominee Of his
party, and thus literally bite his nose off, out Of
pure revenge to his neighb0r. Ridiculous as this
may seem. still il is sometimes done, and he does
not see the extent Of his loss until il is too late to
repair it. What say is, that no democrat in his
right mina viii be guilty of snch ridiculous piece
of tom oolery. In this respect the children OF this
world wiser in their generation thanthe children
of light; for how often do we behold them laying
aside their private preTdices, in order to promote
their Objects to crafty stronger hate-their
hatred for Democracy.
