DEcENcy.-The following are some of
the terms applied to Gen. Taylor, and dit
ferent members of the Cabinet, by the
Washington Union, and repeated by the
minor locotoco papers all over the country,
viz: "this modern bloody Nero" "'thls
modern Robospierre,' "spanicl-'lke,'
" Butcher,'' "wcak AMI imbecilc," Sc sc
These terms are applied to the President
and to members of the cabinet because GER
tain worthless locofoco officers are removed.
With these facts in his eye, a cores
pendent, in our paper of the 18th inst,
wrote: "The party which SO zealously
denounces Gen. Taylor and his admlnistra-
ton must be made up Of cannibals or nat
ural FOOLS" and this remark we find par
AIDED forth ironically under the head OF
3" Decency." Compare it with the choice
quotations above, and with one which fol-
lows, and see how it rates on the score OF
"Decency.' Our correspondent continues
in the same paragraph from which the
above is quoted owe bring the charge
bold and sweeping as it is, before the &C
cuscd-before the sovereign people, and be-
fore the world, without r,proach OF con-
science or fear CT contradiction. What
mean these doleful lamentations over a
fallen dynasty, over prescription and in
novation those bug-bears to modern De
mocracy. We believe, and our Official
records confirm II, that they must originate
in a rapacity for Office, or an ignorance
that knows not the true means and ends o
reformation" The latter part of the par
agraph, it will be seen, explains and sus
tains the first.
Now here follows some more locofoct
decency. When General Taylor in view
of the ravages ofthc cholera, issued proc
lamation for day of fasting and prayer
the Ravcnna Star, a locotoco paper, mad
the following comment. "zachary Tay
lor offer up prayer to God for the preser
walton of human life. IT'S blasphemy AM
seems the very mockery of hell"

WThe Blue Hens Chicken Of last

WThe Blue Hens Chicken Of last
week comments severely upon that law OF
this state which forbids colored persons
from other states from coming into the
state under a penalty Of twenty dollars for
the first offence = to be sold for sue
ceoding one, SC II was reminded to do
10, BY the fact that two colored men from
Wilmington were short time ago, arrest
ed at this place and fined.
The Chicken calls upon lis 10 denounce
the law. We have only time in this con-
neXion to make this remark: that tl.at
law was enacted by the shareholders OF
Maryland to prevent the colorcd
emissaries of abolitionists in Delaware and
beyond that state, from interfering with
their slaves. All, or nearly ali the laws
Which bear with severity upon HE blacks,
have been occasioned by the mtermedling
of these northern men; who, while pro-
Tossing TO be the friends of the negro, are
his worst enemies.

DISCLOSURES OF TIE CUBA MOVEMENT

DISCLOSURES OF TIE CuBA MOVEMENT
The New York Express of Tuesday eve

development, which it is not at all i'm

crnment Is fully appraised of such particu-

INVASION OF CUBA.-Srs7HIors MoVE-
Meetings are nightly held in this
city, some secretly, and some more public
ly, and organizations OF very extensive
character are forming for some secret ex-
petition, Of which no one engaged but the
leaders know anything. Several bodies OF
men numbering over an hundred each,
have organized themselves into regular
military divisions, and have entered with
the coalition, which is now assuming a
shape too formidable to Le overlooked. On
Monday evening large number Of these

meeting was called to order by Col. Carr,
a large number enrolled their names on
the promise of seven dollars a month, and

young men who are out of employment,

sons, ripe for any exciting adventure; in

have been in Mexico, who showed as great
a relish for this expedition as they did fol

The MOTIVATION FOR CoNCEEss.-As
we last week stated would be the case,
Hon. Alexander Evans was nominated by
reclamation, by the Convention on Thurs
day, as the Wing candidate for Congress
in this THE 5th) Congressional District.
Known fayorably through all the Dis
trict as gentleman Of strict integrity and
the first order OF intellect, there is no ne
cessity that we should recommend him on
the ground Of Qualifications. His private
life, the ability with which he canvassed
the District two years ago, his course and
reputation in the last Congress, all attest
his fitness for the station, and should rally
around him every wing in all the counties.
In the unprecedented mist of the future,
we know not what is hidden, but so far as
we can now form an opinion, he will re-
ceive, as he did two years ago, a majority
of the votes in every county. According
to our judgment he will have heavy ma
jority in the District, hut in order that no
unforeseen cataStrophy-no untoNard Cir
cumstances may possibly cause US injury,
we recommend that active eyertions bc
made by all the wings in every section OF
the District. We know Of nothing that
can lose him votes, we fear nothing-we
believe his election sure--but We would
have it made dcubly sure.

From MINNESOTA. The st. Paul MIN
nesota) Register, of the 2Sth ult., mentions
the arrival there of Col. Mitchell, the new
ly appointed marshal Of that territory, and
speaks Of him in the most complimentary
terms.
The same paper states that the Stock
bridge Indians, a portion of the Leni Le-
nape or Mohican confederacv, have sold
their lands, lying on the Fox river, WIS
consin, and in their agreement with the
government have the privilege Of selecting
two townships at any point west of the
Mississippi. They number in all about
three hundred, and are entirely civilized.
The rumors that had been circulated Of
difficulties with the Winnebsgo Indians
proved to be entirely unfounded.
Intelligence had been received of a fire
at Sunk Rapids, which destroyed the store
of H. M. Rice. containing 200 barrels Of
flour belonging to the Winnebagoes, with
$500 worth of goods. There were also &c
kegs of powder, which exploded.

A CLOSE CoNGREss.-W believe the
Wings will have the next Congress by a
majority of one, if Maryland stand firm
very small majority certainly, but still
sufficient in an emergency. Every friend
of the Administration-every one who
would give Gen. Taylor the slightest op-
portunty to carry out any measure he may
wish to, should support the congressman
favorable to him. Every Taylor man in
this District, without fail, should support
Mr.. Evans, else the object they may have
had in view in voting Tor Taylor be not
carried out.
