The w. Union says the following resolutions, con-
demnatory of the conduct of Gen. Taylor. have pass
eo oo'h houses OF the legislature of New Hampshire.
/" Tie Senate, tie vote on their passage was ii yeas,
L nay; and in the House. Ids yeas, 81 nays.
They %inipeach Gen. Taylor of two offences: LIST,
OF violating all the pledges which he made to attain
power and I'd, taking to his bosom the allies If Mer-
ico, who gave aid and comfort to the enemy; carry
ing their hostility so far even as TO invoke the de-
struction of Gen. Taylor and his army. Gen. Taylor
cannot escape the expression of indignant censure,
on the part of the American people, which such con-
duct invokes. No public service can rescue a man
who dishonors himself. No public man can possibly
escape censure who is guilty of acts which. if COM
mitted by a gentleman in private life, would dishonor
and disgrace him. 1t cannot be denied that every
pledge tehich he made 10 The people has been riolated;
nor can it be denied that he has taken 10 has bosom The
enemies Of his country pho TOOK The side of the public
enemy against trhom he was fighting. From such
conduct he will find that the true-hearted and patriotic
American people will turn in loathing and disgust.
Gen. Taylor is destined to hear from an indignant
people themselves, thunders more terrible to his ears
than the roar of the eneY-'s cannon at Bueua Vista.
And he need not hope to shut his ears from the un-
welcome sound. The New Hampshire resolutions
are but the beginning of the response of public opin-
ion TO his acts, whose reverberations will astound
him; they speak. as be will ultimately learn, the
voice of a large majority of the American people.
We fervently hope The next Legislature of Indiana,
among its very first acts, may administer a similar
rebuke, for all must feel that in doing so, they would
5ut give form and expression to the deep and settled
convictions of a large majority of the people of the
State:
Resolved by The Senate and House of REPRESENTATIVES in
general court coRrenei, That while it is The right OF every
chief magistrate 10 employ public agents, especially in The
mole important posts connected with the executive depart
meni, whose views of national policy correspond with his
own, we find no expressions Of condemnation too strong for
the course Of that executive officer. who, protesting 10 have
. no niends 10 reward and no enemies TO punish "-disavow-
ing in the most solemn form all partisan ~piejudices, declaring
that If elected be would be the head Of the nation, and not
of a party, pledging himself personally aud officially before
OF political opinion, nor for any causes other than dishonesty
or ncompoicncy-Use the highest Office in the gift Of the
country TO break aud falsify all the pledges thus solemnly
made, 10 promote the very party schemes he has disclaimed,
to brand as incompetent or dishonest ESQ far as any act Of
his can Go i) thousands Of faithful public servants Of the
highest characters for ability and integrity, and TO bring re-
preach upon our country by such a fagiant exhibition of bad
faith and derelclion Of duty in a station so differently adj
minisiered by The immortal Washington. and the other illus
hious statesmen, under the color Of whose name and exam
pie this paliTy and most disreputable prescription is sought
to be carried on.
heSOfCed, mat FcSn from Inc OatIle neI0S d. 4 which
we have ever regarded as just and necessary, the battle
fields upon which The valor Of the brave men of our county
had borne him on from victory T., victory, Zachary Taylor
forgot what was due TO his honor as well as 10 services of
Others, the most meliioIiuus. when he consented to lend the
very popularity he had acquitted by his achievements in the
prosecution of that war, as the instrument wherewith its
INSCRIPTIONS opponents might for a lime stI ike down its pa
lriOtc supporters, winning a political triumph for those who
denounced the war as infamous. its soldiers as %murderers,
and sought to starve out those soldiers by denying them sup
plies, or ANONYMOUSLY to withdraw them from the field
and more than all, when in the face of reiterated pledges
against political intolerance, he stopped TO use the presidency
thus attained as the bosom of a prescription, not onlY with
out parallel for extent in any similar period of time, but en-
lbraeing in its irdiscriminaie sweep men who have been
manned and disabled from their ordinary pursuits while no.
bly, fighting at his side, brave defenders Of their country
whom he Of all men should have been The last to have as
sailed, the first TO have defended.
Resolred, That in view Of these and other considerations,
we trust and doubt not that The American Senate at its COM
ing session will fearlessly and fully discharge The duty with
regard to executive nominations, which The laws Of the land
may impose, adopting therein that course which the safety
interests, and honor of our government and country may
ment Of individuals, if any such are proposed, whose T" dis
honesty or incompetenry" has been made manifest by their
lives and practices before, or by their ceuIses in Office since
their nomination, nor whose past career has disclosed a spirit
and principles better fitted to the work Of facilitating the
hostile operations Of a foreign cabinet, than Of Striving for
the advancement of the happiness and honor Of our own
rapidly increasing and most glorious land.
Resolved, That in our belief Congress has the consiitu-
tiOnal power TO prohibit the introduction Of slavery into any
. territory now free, aud that we are in favor of the use, al
this time, Of that power but that while we claim TO our
selves as democrats the right to the full and fee exercise OF
our opinions upon tDlSS SUBJECT WITHOUT cOeEClOn OF ptnScnp-
lion therefor from any quarter. we are willing t. concede the
same privilege 10 our democratic brethren entertaining differ
eni opinions in other sections of the country, recognizing as
members of the democratic family, all who, though differing
from US upon minor or temporary questions, are yet united
in support of the great and vital principles which have con-
slituied the republican platform from The days Of Jefferson
2 to the present time.
0rlt will probably strike many with surprise that The
amount Of Indian corn shipped TO f Europe from the United
4 States during the past month of June, exceeds that Of The
same month in lS47, the famine year. The official state
D ment of the exports for The month has appealed in the New
l York Shipping List, and the quantity Of corn exported is
/. stated at 2s7, 1863 bushels, being greater by $50. 4s0 bushels
than was shipped in the same month in lS47, and greater
{ we believe, than was ever shipped in any previous month.
Yet gIeat as This amount is, il is but a tythe of the quantity
Of grain imported monthly into Great Britain, to which coun-

: 1t will certainly % strike with surprise those who
, were last year told by the same wing paper, that the
: expectation of corn was altogether owing to the fam
Inc in Ireland, and not at all to the reduction of the
I tariff. But thus do facts upset the humbugs of wing
gerry.
tTIt is said that most of the flies died during the
t prevalence of cholera in 1882. The Baltimore Sun
wants to know if this is the case at present in othei
!, cities. AT Baltimore, it says they are UNUSUAL,
abundant. The Cincinnati Commercial states that
e has watched, and seen an hundred die in an hour, Blu
don't say whether by cholera or not. IF these gen
tlemen want to see flies, alive and hungry too, the
