known, and when it certain that the clouds OF pop
ular dispeasure rapidly gathering over the admin
isation, General Taylor made. through his organ, the
Republic. personal appeal to the gallant people Of Mis-.
sssipp. whose bravery saved him from defeat on the
bloody field of Buena VISTA and to his fellow citizens
Of Louisiana. who, he said, were the first to rush

Rio Grands, to rally and save his administration
from impending overthrow. Mississippi responded by
msjorities against him varying from ten to twenty
thousand. and Louisiana was equally deaf to the
