GEN. rAYLoR,s DEPARTURES.

/ The President elect left Baton Rouge OF
Thursday the 18th Of January for his planta.
ton on the Mississippi, whence he was to en-.
bark on the lst INST, on board the Steamer
Tennessee for Nashville direct.
| On Tuesday the ed OF January, the old
hero's personal friends in Baton Rouge call
ed upon him to bid him adieu, on the oc-
casion Of his departure for the scene of his
new labors. The interview is thus described
by correspondent Of the New Orleans Pr
cayune
The General received his visitors with his usual
Kindness Of manner, and an animated conversation
ensed mainly confined to matters of personal inter
est such az usually takes place between neighbors
and intimate friends. After having partaken of a
glass Of generous old MADEIRA, the General was, at
the instance of many present, addressed by J. b.
Thorpe, Esq., in the following language:
General-I have been deputed by your fellow
citizens TO bid you their adeus this interesting oc-
casion. 1t is with painful emotions that they have
assembled to say farewell In parting with you,
nothing reconciles them to their loss, except the full
knowledge that you are needed by your country else
where. Believe me, General, when | say, tina, you
will leave behind YOU, in Baton Rouge united com
munity OF personal friends, every member of which,
young aud old, joins in heartfelt prayer that you
and your family may In your future home be blessed
with long life, continued health and unbounded pros.

SERIOUS MATTER--IF TRUE.

If the President has done what the recited
protocol in to-days report Of the Congress
sona proceedings sets forth, without the
consent Of the United States Senate thereto,
the House Of Representatives will be called
on to perform painful duty, the neglect Of
which, for one moment, would be evidence
enough Of the loss Of constitutional liberty in
these thirty States. But we cannot believe
that Mr.. Polk has done any such thing as
is herein supposed-at least, we shall not
believe il until he confesses that he has done
so II would be a monstrous usurpation,-
usurpation without any possible excuse to
support it. Unconstitutional as in our opln-
ion, many Of his acts were in the matter OF
the Mexican war, yet he always had some
plea, some excuse for them He never went
beyond debatable ground but, in the pres
ent case, il it be true as charged, he has gone
entirely beyond the pale Of law and constr
tuition, and has subjected himself to impeach-
msnt for the highest offence known to cur
institutions But, as we have already said,
we do not believe, that he has done any
such thing as alleged. Nothing but his own
confession will convince US that be has been
guilty of such gross act Of usurpation.
1t nav be, that Commissioners Sewer and
Clifford may have taken upon themselves to
dispense with the treaty act Of the Presi-
dent and Senate, and that the President is
ignorant Of the deed. II so, they had the
example Of Mr.. Trist for disobeying instruc-
tons and negotiating treaties without the
consent and authority Of the government O
the United States. The treaty-making pow.
er went vagabonding about Mexico in the
person Of Mr.. Trist, and the President ant
Senate approved and confirmed his acts.
would not be strange, if IT be found tina
Nlessrs. Sewer and Clifford took upon them
selves to do all that this protocol enumcrates
