IMPORTANT FROM Wa sHINGToS-GESERAL TAY-
LoR's VIEWS ON THE WILMoT PaovIso.-In our
paper Of yesterday, we published Geographic de-
spatch from one of our correspondents Wash.
ipgton, to the effect that some of the Southern
wings had no doubt with the view of shaping
their course accordingly, held a conversation with
General Taylor, IN which they drew frora him the
action which he will probably take on the Wilmot
provso, when that question comes before him in
connection with the new territories. Ii our cor
respondents statement is reliable, the information
which he communicates is OF the highest impor-
tance, at this particular unciure 1t is to the effect
that the President will veto territorial bill for
New Mexico, # it includes the Wilmot proviso; but
that he will approve OF bill admitting California
a State, even with that proviso. Ifths information
Is true If Gen. Tay Tor has thus developed his views
on the subject of the Wlmot proyiso, he assumes a
middle ground-a concliatory course, that would
probably be satisfactory to all parties and to both
sections Of the Union-such a one as would en-
able the fanatics Of the two sections OF the coun-
try to withdraw from the ultra positions which
they have respectively assumed, and evade the
crisis which such uIiraism both sections has
brought on. We shall look with good deal of
interest for a confirmation of this intelligence.

orr News FROM MExIco.-The news from
Mexico, which we publish in another part Of our
columns, will be found to possess some interest.
The elections, which are just ended, have been Sc
verely contested by the two rlval partics-the re-
publicans and the monarchiss. The two princi-
pies have been fairly plted against each other on
this occasion, and we are glad to be able to say
that the first OF them has triumphed. What Mexico
wants is the elevation Of the mass Of the people,
the liberation Of the poems, the encouragement Of
individual industry, and the putting down Of lead
ers and military asplrants. We may still see a
great Improvement in this beautiful country. The
late war seems to have done them good, in making
them better acquainted with the SPIRIT energy, and
power Of America. Mexico will still be the scene
Of great events. Let us, for the sake of humanity,
hope for the best Meantime, the news from
Mexico Is deserving of being watched with close
attention.
