We have already told our readers that Il might be
that events would see General Taylor placing his ad-
n,jnistfation in the hands Of the Democratic party
for Incidental protection" II not Tor support In
deed ever since he tried his prentice hand In the bu
siness OF Cabinet making, there has been a kind OF
suspicion In certain quarters that such Is his own
desire This suspicion as yet, has been barely wills
pered. Phil Psnasyiranidn, (Den)
And you told your readers--ii We remem-
Der arght--when General Taylor was left
at Buena Vista by Mr.. Polk with handful
Of raw troops, that it might be that events
would see the old hero placing himself in the
hands Of Santa Anna for incidental profec-
ZION, il not for safety, and that such sus-
picion was whispered after he had tried his
prentice hand at capitulation at Monterey
yet, you proved to be false prophet, What
you told your readers about him at Buena
Vista was just as likely to have taken place
as what you have told them about him in the
above sillv paragraph

We wish to do Mr.. Smith full justice; and, there
fore we do not hesitate TO say that he has llade the
very decision which became him; and, in fact, that
he has more truly appreciated his position, by refu
sing cabinet appointment than the President did by
offering ii to him. Union Of yesterday.
Full justice indeed! 1t is no justice at all
to Mr.. Smith It is an insult to him, which,
we are sure, Mr.. Smith hurls back into the
teeth Of the Union, with the scorn it merits,
He wants no justice from any quarter, that
reflects upon the integrity, purity and sound
Judgment Of the Chiei Magistrate. He de-
clined the honor with grace and dignity,
that were only equalled by those which ac-
companied its offer. The whole cores
pondence serves to elevate the already lofty
patriotism Of both gentlemen. The Presi-
dent not appreciate Mr. Smiths position!
Why, the very offer Of a seat in the Cabi-
net was the highest evidence Of his appre-
citation Of the position of Mr.. Smith.

ALLIANCE OF AFFGHANs AND SIKHs.-The Lon
don Morning Chronicle, in its summary of the news
from India, by the advices from Bombay to the 18th
and Calcutta to the 9Th February, has the following
paragraph:
Clutter Singh paid visit to his sons camp soon
after the action of the 18th, but it seems did not
long remain there. The Delhi Gazette represents
him as incapacitated by personal infirmity from
taking active part in the military operations,
and says that in consequence, he has placed him
self in charge of the civil duties connected with
the rebellion" Mohammed Akraim Khan, a son of
Dost Mohammed of Cabool is reported to have been,
for considerable time, in the Sikh camp. There
have also been rumors Of Shere Singh having been
joined by large bodies Of Affghans; but although
we have reason to believe that considerable num-
Der of troops from Cabool have made their appear
ance in the hill country beyond the Jhelum, we do
not think authentic information has been received
of any portion of them having as yet crossed over
to the left bank of that river The next fight with

man he was upright, honorable and exemplary in all
the relations of life. firm faith in Christ, his Re-
deemer gave the GROWING grace to his character.

suits: "This much l know, that annexation has
positively been resolved on-that Sir H. Lawrence is
to be the Lieut. Governor of the Province, and that
the portion of the Puniaub to be annexed is to be

Der Pass, skirting the hills down to Pot Kangra

rison and that Peshawur and the country across
the Indus is to be given TO Dost Mahomed. We
are net to take either the Huzzara country or the

SUFFERING IN CAFE BREToN.-The Halifax On.
S. Sun of the Both ult. contains extracts from a
letter recently received at Halifax from Sydney, on
the Island of Cape Breton, giving an account of an
act of cruelty the part of the Mining Association,
which has legal monopoly of the coal business of
the Island. The statement is, that several persons
living in the neighborhood of the Bridgeport mines,
and being in state of utter destitution, dug coal
upon their own lands, and carried it to Sydney for
sale, to obtain the necessaries of life. On being
discovered by the "hunters F" Of the Mining Asso-
citation, the men were arrested and imprisoned on
charge of trespassing upon the rights of the Asso
citation. The letter also states that the mines at
Bridgeport were on fire, and had been burning for
some time, threatening extensive mischief to farms
which were over where the mines had been
worked. Two lives had been lost, persons having
entered the pit, unconscious of the fire, and been
suocated. 1t was said, at the date OF the letter,
to be so hot at the mouth of the pit that no one
could approach il.
