Common sense furnishes but one answer to the
question. 1t is an answer that springs spon-
taneous' to the lips Of every rejecting and pa
triotic citizen, who honestly desires the over

simple manners, his kind, gentle and affection

him TO the American people, that the arts or
arms of the politicians cannot reach him. Il

CITY OF EVANSVILLE:
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY Is.

GEN. WoRTH.--A telegraphic despatch tc
the New York Herald, from Washington, say,
this officer has put in his bid for the presiden
CIV, having written letter to member Of Con
gress from Alabama, Mr.. Bowden, defining his
position on all the questions Of public int
rest. He Processes himself thorough demo
cat. The letter is said TO have been dictated
By the commissioners Of Mexico. Messrs. Cliff
ford and Stvier, and was published in the
Union Of the 18th, just in time for the Balti
more Convention.
The Washington correspondent Of the
North American says the secret Of Genera
Worth's cratic conduct, of his ingratitude &c
Gen. Scott, and of his utilization with the
"powers that be" is fully explained by three
political letters which appear in the Union
touching his aspirations for the Presidency
1t only ne eded this official confirmation to set
tie opinion as 10 the part which he has recently
played, so much to the disadvantage of his
fame as man and soldier. His conversion
to Democracy is doubtless as sincere as it has
been sudden, for up to the period Of his depar.
ture for Mexico, he was, by his o ,cn profession,
an ardent and devoted Whig-more than this,
in many respects he was recognized as an ultra.
How much the hostility of the administration
towards Gen. Scott and these partizan appli-
ances Of introducing him as a candidate for the
Presidency, have had to do with his embrace
of another political creed, remains for himself
TO determine. Perhaps the leisure of the camp
has enabled him to investigate the application
and force Of theories to which his previous
studies were not especially direc.ed..
General Worth will have to lament before
another week has passed, that his conversion
is not properly appreciated; for his chances Of
being adopted as the candidate of the party
with whose fortunes he has now identified
himself, are quite as fattering now as wher
he numbered himself with the Wing party. i
has not been the policy Of democracy TO reward
neophytes with its highest honors No suci
price has it accustomed itself TO pay for con
verts. 1t has TO be sure. forgiven the sins o
Federalism, and confirmed its dissolution b.

tate Wings are not so highly valued, and year
of probation are acquired to atone for The Grim
of former opposition. AS General Worth ha
now taken position, il is to be hoped that
will keep IT, His loss can be endured withou
very much suffering. II his new association
will bring him composure, he may be assure
that his separation will not leave us regret.
