WARRINGTON Cry. March 8. '49

called upon Gen. Taylor yesterday. He
is remarkable for native gracefulness and
simplicity of manners, he receives all
with the utmost cordiaitv and urbanity,
the predominating lineaments or charac-
tcristics Of his countenance are benevo-
rrnce, serenity and infexible frmness.
lie appears as if an earthquake could not
move him, after he had calmly and DELHI
eretely msde up his mind from conscien-
cious convictions of right and duty In
his social intercourse he has all the frank
ness and affablity of warm-hearted
Kentuckian.
He throws aside all etiquette: all GER
imony, all srtifciality and fashionable
finn n,evy and tells all who hesitate to a?-
proach HIM, to come in and introduce
themselves; his manners are fascinating
because they are natural and easy. He
said he was still suffering from co2tu-
sion which he received on his side while
at Madison, Indiana. He is constantly
thronged with persons calling to see him,
still he See ms never wearied. There are
about 10 thousand strangers in the City
and still not one half have come that
intend coming from the great and pop
ulous North I see old acquaintances
here from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, North and South Carolina,
Illinois Ohio. Wisconsin, New York,
Maine and almost every state in this
great Union; Wings and Democrats,
Taylor democrats and Taylor wings,
Clay Taylor wings, and Taylor Clay
wings, Cass democrats, and Clay Cas-
Whgs, Abolitlonists and Constitutional
lists, Wilmot Proviso, and anti-Wilmot
Proviso wings and democrats, Barnhurn-
ers and anti-Renters, heterogeneous
nordescrlpt race of political animality,
comprising elements explosive, combus-
tible and conservative Nothing but the
IRON nerve: the strong native intellect,
the commanding and almost unbounded
popularity Of Gen. Taylor, aided by the
eminent abilities and lofty patriotism Of
his Secretary of State, the Hon. John M.
Clayton, could restrain control and har-
monise The varied and conflicting and
antagonistical interests represented by so

AS North Carolina, one of the fIrmest
and most reliable wing States IN the u
MON, Is not honored with seat in the
Cabinet, the leading whig members OF
Congress both from the North and South
are nearly unanimous in urging upor the
consideration ofGen. Taylor, the claims
of the good old North State for foreign
mission, in the person of the Hon. d. M
Barringer as our ministerial Representa-
tive at the Cour, of Spain. Gen. Barrin-
Ger is now the distinguished Chairman
of the committee on Indian affairs OF the
House Of Representatives. He was elect
ed TO the Legislature OF North Carolina
when he had not reached the age of 81
ycars-he was subsequently elected to
Congress. where he had served With dis
/ tingushed ability during the last SIX
wears - and was again nominated by his
constituents for reelection, but declin-
ed. He is a gentleman of fine talents
of bland and courteous manners, and oil
exalted patriotism; AID would represent
his country abroad, with dignity and
honor. He was one Of the earliest and
most efficient supporters of Gen. Taylor
in North Carolina. 1t is highly imFor-
tant that our ministerial Representatives
abroad, should be intelligent, accomplish
ed and refined gentlemen. possessing not
only cultivated minds, but bland and
polished manners. All these essential
qualifications are combined in the per-
son and character of Gen. Barringer, and
such Representatives at foreign Courts,
would command consideration and res
pect for our Country.
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather, the people are still pour
ing in by thousands -2100 arrived to-
day inthe cars. Every parlor in the city
is converted into lodging room-such
is the enthusiasm TO see the Peoples
President. Tt is supposed there will be
fifty thousand strangers here to witness
the Inauguration.
A great deal-ot sympathy has been re-
Gently expressed by correspondents Of
locotoco papers, for the families Of Clerks
who may be turned out of office for in
competency, some ofwhom can scarcely
spell or write their names, some of whom
are frequently out all night, and are con-
sequently not fit for business the next
day, and some of whom during the last
election, were busilv engaged IN calum-
mating the brave defender oftheir coun-
try, Gen. Taylor, because the sovereign
people chose to nominate him for the
Presidency. But where were the tears
of these morbid sympathisers for the fam
lilies of poor Wing Clerks. who were tur.
ned out in 1914, by Mr.. Polk? The
fountains OF mercy and sympathy were
