FREE SOiLERS LOOK OUT !

The following is the annunciation Of General
Taylor's determination, in his official organ, the
National Inteligencer, March 81, 1919 =
"Shoud the free Soil party, or any portion of
1t, hereafter be detected in any act evincing
deliberate purpose to prevent the formation OF
any civil government in California or New Mex
leo, so to keep up the agitation between the
north and the south for sectional party objects,
the President may find it to be his solemn duty
to frown Indignantly on that, as not m rely the
first dawning, but the perfect day. ofan attempt
to ALLEVIATE one portion oil the Union from anoth.
err
The New York Journal OF Commerce, one of
the most ardent Taylor papers in the country,
says of this announcement
cit disabuses the country from the long uncon-
tradicted allegation, that Gen. Taylor would
sanction the efforts of the free soil faction or ap-
prove OF the Wilmot proviso."
With what military air this "Order No. -
is written 1T any free citizenb "DETECTED'
in exercising his political rights according to his
own judgment and pleasure, "he President may
find it to be his solemn duty to fro,cn indig-
nantly" upon him. Now we have no more
sympathy with the free soil party movement
than any other man, but when the President of
the United NStates threatens TO frown upon any
portion OF our citizens for constitutionaly exer-
cisng theirpolitcal rights, however erroneous or
mischievous we may conceive their opinions and
actions to be, we think it proper to ren ind Gen.
Taylor that he cannot ride his office as be would
"Old Whitley" just as he pleases; and govern
the people OF the United States simply by his
will, as he would an army OF soldiers. Tue peo-
pie have 'senhsted' HIN under the articles of
the constitution, where his duties and powers are
strictly defined, and if he transcends thenlhe is
subject to be dealt with by the people. whose
servant he is, not master, according to tfIr SOW
ereign judgment, in such casea made ant provi-
ded. What comment is this upon the son u-
reference with the will OF the peoplelwhich
the wings promised for their canddatebeiore
election! To carry out their views, as cypress.
ed through their representatives, was III he
would seek to do, they said. But now,ge are
informed, if the expression OF that will 10 not
agree with his Interpretation OF propriey, he
''may find it to be has solemn duty to from in
dignaatiy"-in other words, punish to te ex-
tent of his power those who do not acas he
judges proper If this be not coming sretty
near to "drum head law" we do not undestand

THE COMET MEDAL. We were indebted to
the kind attention OF President Everett this morn
ing Tor a sight of the beautiful gold medal, re-
ceived from the King OF Denmark, and awarded
to Miss Maria Mitchell, of Nantucket, for the
first discovery OF Telescope Comet, on the Ist
of October, l847. The medal is of pure gold,
over two ounces in weight. One side is the head
of the present King OF Denmark, with the sim
Pile inscription, "'Christianus VIII, Rex Dania.
On the reverse is the figure of Urania, the
muse of astronomy, as depicted in ancient works
OF art. She is in a sitting position, and holds
globe in the left hand, and stylus pointing 70

is the inscription:

Tin the edge of the medal is the name Of the

quisitely cut, and the whole execution of the
medal is chaste and aristical. We congratulate
our fair country woman upon her success in the
noblest field Of physical science open to human
research. That she, on the little secluded isaad
of Nantucket, should have been the FIRST to de-

CONNECTICUT ELECTION. The leegraphc reports
to the Boston Atlas state that Waldo in the Hartford
and Tolaud District, Cleveland in the Windham and
New London District and Booth in the New Haven and
Nilddesex District elected Congress in The place
OF three Taylor men, Booth is an original Free Soil
man. Waldo and Cleveland were first nominated by
the Democrats but having adopted the Buffalo platform,
the Free Soil men nominated them also. In the Lilch,
field and Fairfield District the Taylor candidate is
probably elected. There is probably 10 choice of
Governor. The Taylor claim the Sen te and hope
for the House, but the information we have makes ii all
most certain that the house against them lfso there
is no knowing, yet, who will be governor.
This result will show Truman Smith and his CO works
ers the consequence Of Taylorizing the Wing party.
The people Of the North will never standt They have
made up heir minds for Free Soil and Free Democracy,
and Hunkerism has had its day. The honest portions Of
both the old parties will see, that the Free Soil
platform is the only place where good and true
consistently stand because that party is The only which
holds oul principles worthy of contendng for or tina
offers any reasonable chance for ultimate success.
BY the Hartford Courant OF yesterday, and accounts
from other sources the Geographic reports confined
Butler the LitchGed district the only Taylore cleo,
ted TO Congress. There is choice of Governor and
both branches ofthe Legislature are yet in doubt.

POLITICAL sANCTIMoNY.

No form OF cant is more common than the az
fectation OF reverence toward the popular forms
of religion, by political editors and office seekers,
an investment OF political capital. The recent
illustrations OF this hollow sanctimony amo1g
pro slavery presses and servile dougafaces OF the
North, are peculiarly rich and instructive
These men have the highest regard for the sa-
credness OF the Sabbath, "the holy Sabbath 'and
ii Mr.. Patrey writes letter, or Mr. Giddings
sits in his place in Congress on Sunday morning,
as a service to the holy cause Of Liberty, they
are Mortified at the profanity OF the abotionsts
and Free Soil men; taking care TO forget the date
of Mr.. Winthrop's reply to Mr.. Paltrey, and
that every other member OF Congress is exposed
to the same censure with Mr. GiGdings, except
that many Of them were using the "holy time"
in the service of Slavery, which he was employ
ing for Freedom. Generals Taylor and Scott
maykill Mexcans by the thousands, and blow
up churches, with their congregations, on Sun
day; armies may march, or the new President
may travel on Sunday, and the solemn quiet may
be broken with the roar OF cannon and shouts OF
the multitude, at his reception, with no shock to
this sensitive piety; but word Spoken or deed
done for humanity on that day, is greivous sac

curry. Jealous Taylor paper:
The Dissertation Qf The Sabbath by Giddings
and Root, 'iree Soil leaders of the House, calls
down the severest censure on all hands. These
men deserve to be piloried for turning the House
OF Representatives in to bear garden during
the session of Congress but especially should
they be execrated for setting such sinful ex-
ample to the youth OF our country as a fist fight
on Sabbath morning."
Not only Is no censure intimated against Foote
and Meade, and other Southern DULLES, who
were to blame in those disgraceiul scenes but
either through malignty or objectionable gno-
rance,the responsibility is all placed on the heads
OF men whose only guilt, as our readers know,
consisted in bearing patiently their insults, and
threats, and blows.

izing on fate. There was the Sultan, an
eastern despot, the ruler Of mighty king
doms and the arbiter Of the fate Of millions
al his fellowcreatures ; and face 10 face,
few feet distant, one, in rank and condi-
ton among the humblest servants of a far
distant Republic, and yet, as little as life
has to cheer, would not change positions
with him, unless could carry with me
my faith, my friendships and my aspira-
tons.
My feelings saddened as looked upon
the monarch, and thought of Montezuma.
Evidently like a northern cline, bis year
Of life had known two seasons Oily, and
had leaped from youth TO imbecility. His
smile was one of the sweetest ever look
ed upon--his voice almost the most me!o-
dious | had ever heard; his manner wa.
gentleness itself, and every thing about
him bespoke kind and amiable DISPOSE
ton.
He is said to be very aiFecticnate, 10 his
mother in especial, and is generous 10 the
extreme Of prodigality. But there is that
indescribably sad expression in his conn-
tenance, which is thought 10 indicate early
death. A presenfiment Of the kind, min
gled, perhaps, with a boding fear Of the
overthrow of his country, seems TO per-
wade and depress his spirits. In truth,
like Damocles, this descendant of the Ca

Through him, the souls of the mighty
monarchs who have gone before, seem 10
brood over the impending fate Of an en-
pire which once extended from the Allan
