PRESIDENTIAL.

GEN. WoRrH evidently wishes to be the loco
foco candidate for President. lie has written
three letters out and out locofoco, for the Sub
Treasury - cquivocal on the Tarlf'-for reduc-
ton Of the price of the public lanls-for the
War until full indemnity is obtained, and for
Slavery, and of course against the Wilmot pro.
vlso This is going pretty strong for the Slav-
ocracy; but Gen. Worth is a Northern man and
was formerly Wing, so he is obliged to take
ultra grounds in order to catch Southern support.
GEORGIA. The Wing Convention preferred
TAYLOR but resolved to support the nominee of
the Convention, "proyded the views of the nom
nee accord with their own on the subject of the
Wilmot proviso and Southern rights" So much
the stronger reason for the North 20 insist upon
a proUiSo We are ready to see the Wing Ma.
tonal Convention meet this matter plumply.
An intelligent Washington correspondent Of
Ilaswers Bennington Gazette, a democratic
PAL or, writing from that city under date of the
18th instant, says of Gen. Taylor =
"lfwe are to be defeated, there is no political
opponent in the country who | should so little
regret to see victorious, as Gen. Taylor. lie
will not bring his influence to bear upon Con-
gress. lie will not remove, or allow to be re-
moved, single meritorious officer, and i Con-
greSS passes an act Jorbidding SLAVERY in The

that "Mr. Woodbury. has given himself his po-

both federal and popular interference with slave
ry in the territories, and that he believed that the
people Of territory could only egslale on the

WARM TESTIMONY OF AFFECTION TO GEN.
ScoTT.-The American STAR (cty of Moxico,)
in its number of the 23d ultimo, states that on
the departure Of the Commander. inc Chief, the
warnest demonstrations of affection were lavish
cd on him by his late companions in aims:
Yesterday morning his friends-and their
name Is legion - assembled on the street fronting
his dwelling and as he was too much overcome
to receive them all, those who had not the hap
piness OF shaking him by the hand, were glad to
get sight of him as he departed. Those who
had not even the chance of seeing him, mounted
their horses and followed him on the road, de-
termined that he who had led them from victory
to victory should not leave the valley of his great
operations without one odcu.
Around his carriage for he was too much
exhausted by his late heavy labors, and the emo
tons of parting with his brothers in arms to
ride on hoIse-back-as it proceeded on the
road TO Ell l'enon, the officers crowded, and as
fast as one could give the "God bless you, Gcner-
AL" and fall back, his place was supplied by an
other, and the adieus continued for a long way
on the road.
But the most affecting scene of all was when
he left his house. The rifle guard was drawn up
to receive him, and as he passed they presented
arms to their beloved commander, for the last
time; they shed tears like children, aud so af-
fected was the old hero, that he could scarcely
get into the carriage"

WELL SAID.-We are rojoiced to see that the
Democratic Review not only rightly appreciates
The true Character of Senator Foote, who has
been SO well termed the sef-appointed hang
man OF a Mississippi mob," but has the manIl-
ness publicly 10 declare its disgust and abhor-
renee both of the man aud his sentiments. The
Review, in its last NUMBER contains an article
on the last slave debate in the Senate, in the
course Of which it says:.-.4ias.
ave shall not waste word on the disgusting
rant of Foote, Of Mississippi, who proclaimed
his ferocious aspirations after hangman's lob,
whose function no is evidently much better fit.
ted to perform than those Of Senator. We
protest in the name Of the honorable body to
which he belongs, the noble State whose dignity
he has lowered, and Of our common country,
which he disgraces, against language and SEMI.
ments which the most abandoned leader OF
street mob would hesitate in this country to ut
Ter, but which this senseess demagogue hoped
would procure him notonety."
