Gctiing Folder.

Under the impression that the result Of
the recent election in this State was favor
able to themselves, our cotcmporaries of
the wing press are getting decidedly bold
er, and they appear to show q commend
able disposition to drop their no-party
disguise and to display their true colors.
When the first call for Taylor State
convention was issued, the 'sfriends Of
Gen. Taylor Unfortunately, were
invited to attend. Now they come out
with calls for whig county conventions
for the appointment of delegates. We
even hear them begin to make vague and
ominous illusions to principles, in con-
nection with this Taylor movement; but
what those principles are, it would take
a Yankee school master to guess, unless
indeed, it is the single principle of rota-
ton into office.
Now, this is all right enough, SO far as
relates to dropping the mask, il thoy only
stick to it. Our only fear is, that they
will get frightened at venturing out SC
far from home, throw up their hands ane
again attempt to "play dummy" How,
ever, we shall see as to that. The Ill
of May draws on apace, when those
whom the great embodiment call:
fools" for attempting oget up third par.
ty organization, irrespective of principles
are to assemble at this city in granc
council.

Mr.. CIay's Letter.

We publish on our outside Mr.. Clay's
pfonunciamento to the whig-or rather,
as It emphatically is-his party, By this
it will seen that the ssgreat embodiment
is again in the field, despite the opposi-
ton of the fag ends, or available strength
Of the universe wing party. Like an old
horse who has run at large all winter, he
appears to feel as fresh and anxious for
another race as a young colt. He evil
IDENTIFY believes he can make better
"show" than the old white horse. Per-
haps he can; we shall see what the great
whig Sanhedrim at Philadelphia will say
about it. The democracy are perfectly
Indifferent which way they decide it; or
even # they decide it both ways. In the
mean time, the representatives of the de-
mocrocy Of the Union are to meet at Bal
timore in less than four weeks from the
present time, to bring out horse who
cannot fail, with harmony and a moderate
degree Of energy on our part, to distance
either Of them.

From our Extra OF April 27th.
The Final Result.

The long agony is over at last, and we
take pleasure in announcing to the Dem
ocracy Of Iowa and of the Union, that we
are "out Of the woods" By last nights
southern mail the official returns were re-
seived from Appanoose, Marion, Monroe
and Wapello counties, and the result is,
that Mr.. BENTON, the democratic candi-
date for Superintendent Of Public Tnstruc-
tion, is elected by a majority of SEVEN
TEEN votes. This result, though achiev-
ed by so small majority, is not only graf
flying to the Democracy Of the State, but,
considering the combined influence Of the
adverse circumstances under which it
was achieved, may be considered, as it
really is, decided victory. Last spring
Mr.. Harlan was elected by majority Of
Alb votes, over one of the best and ablest
men i'll our ranks-now, backed by the
sympathy which always attends the par
ty who is re-run, after an illegal election,
with most powerful local influences oper-
sting in his favor-he is defeated.
The following is complete list of the
official majorities; when canvassed we will

Congressional Convention, il: the
FIRST Disleict.

Our readers in the first Congressional
District will observe, by a consulting call
in another column, that the convention for
the nomination Of candidate for Con-
gress, is to be held at Fairfield on the
18th of June next. We hope that our
friends there will show their appreciation
Of the importance Of the approaching con-
test, by full presentations the conven-
tion, and with harmonious, vigorous, uni
ted and well organized action to follow
their deliberations, they cannot fail of sue
cess. Without these things, it is idle for
any party, however strong, to hope for
it. The gods help those who help them
selves.

FIR. Benton and the Settlers,

We have alluded briefly, in noticing the
falling of Of the democratic vote for Su-
perintendent in many of the counties on
the Desmoines river, to prejudice which
was gotten up in part Of the southern
portion Of the State against Mr.. Benton.
This was on account of the vote of that
gentleman in the Senate last winter, upon
clause in the Desmoines river bill, rails
ing the price Of the lands granted to the
State by Congress, for the improvement
of that river.
At the time this question cameup, Mr..
B. had no criterion to go by in casting his
vote but his own sense Of justice between
the settlers and the State, except, the
opinions Of members from that section OF
the country. These, we are assured, he
took as his guide, and voted as they, both
democrats and wings, with one single ex-
ception, voted.
We are aware that great deal Of use
was made Of this vote, by designing wings.
in-exciting public indignation against Mr.
Benton. We are equally willing to be-
lieve that many honest and well meaning
democrats were deferred from voting for
him, for an act which might be injurious
to them, but for which, under the circum-
stances, we think he ought not be visited
with censure.

Letter fros.l Mexico.

Through the politeness of the Hon. Jos.
+. FALEs, of this city, we are enabled to
lay before our readers the following letter
from an Iowa volunteer belonging to the
''bloody 18TH" now in Mexico. Those Of
our readers in this State having friends in
that regiment we feel no small de-
gree Of state pride in the conviction that
their number is not few--will be gratifed
to learn any thing in relation TO its move
ments; while our readers in general cam
not fail to find in it, interesting information
relative to the social condition Of the Mex
lean people, sc. To our mis-named whig
contemporaries, who employ their safe and
easy indolelice at home in denouncing the
war and those engaged in it, we recon-
mend the perusal of the few remarks ex-
pressivc of the writer's contempt for their
course. 1t is but an endorsement Of the
universal feeling of disgust with which
their extraordinary and inexcusably trait
rous course has inspired the minds OF our
soldiers in Mexico:

Correction.
Our remarks inthe Reporter Of the 9Th
ult. upon the subject Of some insinuations

q
Our remarks inthe Reporter ofthe 18th
|ult. upon the subject Of some insinuatioris
previously thrown out by the .Niners'
Express, refecting-as we then and still
think-undeserved ccnsure upon alr.
Letter, for what it was pleased to term
his hardness in urging an appropriation Of
land by Congress for the Dubuque and
KeolSuk Railroad, have called forth re-
ply in the last number Of that sheet. 1t
is not our present purpose to notice the
article in the Express, in detail; and we
should not have alluded to the subject
again, were it not for the fact that that
sheet indirectly accuses us Of throwing
out insinuations against the northern De
mocracy. Now, in our former article, we
made no allusion TO the North, disparag-
ingly, or otherwise. We merely spoke
of the dissatisfaction of "a portion of our
democratic friePtri in Dubuque relative
to Mr.. LIS coursean the unfortunate Land
Office affair, from which we did not even
attempt to shield him. Heaven forbid that
,ce should wish to cast shade Of reproach
upon the Democracy of the North! They
are right all the time, and when we say
aught against them, may our right hands
forget to weld pen in the cause of equal
rights.
| AS we meant no unkindness in our pre-
vious structures upon the remarks of our
able and esteemed contemporary of the Ex-
press, SO do we not at this time. We do
not know how we can better conclude this
brief notice, than by addressing the very
language to our friend that he has been
pleased to use towards us, and which is
as follows:
"The language of our cotemporaries is
somewhat harsh, but this we can excuse,
on the ground that they are zealcusly de-
voted to the cause they advocate. -

CuARNAvAcA, MEXICO, }
March l. 1S4S {

Dear Sr:-Your favor of the 18th Dec.
came to hand on the 28th Feb, and was
much rejoiced to hear from you.
We have shifted quarters two or three
times since wrote you last. Our regi-
ment, which goes by the name of the
"bloody 10Th" were stationed at the beau
tiful and romantic Chapultipec, from the
day we stormed it, till the lst Of Februa-
airy, when we were ordered to march, but
for where we knew not; but we ascer-
tanned the hext day that our destination
was Cuaravaca, city of some twelve
thousand inhabitants, tiity-two miles south
Of the city of Mexico. | will attempt to
give you a short account of our Journey
On the night of the lst, we encamped
on our old battle ground, Churubusco, and
on the morning of the I'd. started early and
passed through the villages of San Anto-
Mo and San Augustine, and commenced
ascending the mountain about | o'clock, P.
NJ. AS our Wagons were heavily laden,
we made put slow progress. We succe-
ded, however, in getting part Of them to
the top Of the mountain about dark, and the
remainder had to stay where they were
until the next morning, and part of our
force had to stay and guard them.
happened to be among that number. The
road on either side was completely hedg-
ed in by thick underground Of pines
and spruce, and afforded great advantages
fer the guerrillas, and abounds with wild
animals. Here we spent the night, and
the next morning early we went to work
again at the wagons, and about noon got
them all safe up. We laid by, the rest of
the day. The next morning we started,
and passed over what might be called a
level country Of several miles in extent,
when we commenced descending the
mountain, and encamped about half way
down the side,--it being the first water
ing place we had come to; but the Mexi-
cans hearing Of our approach had stopped
