Mn EprroR:-Is there more true unerring sign
that whig statesman stands high in the affections
of the people, and that the opposition party are a.
fsid of his influence, popularity and talents, than
read in the loco foco press their blasts Of caum
ny, vituperation and hillingsgate abuse9 The vi
pers bite at steel when they assault such men, and
their venom does not poison. The locofoco papers
and particularly the Union Of this city, have ahus-
ed, traduced and slandered our efficient and worthy
Cd Assistant Post Master Gen'l, in manner dis
gushing to any person who has the least feeling Of
honor a spark of even charity for his fellow. II
is hard lot to be obliged to bear up against the
chilling blasts Of poverty, with family to support,
but to politicians with foot in the gravel
stoop to such low scurrilous slang Clsing language
that would disgrace common s'hrothep') and as
sail private cha, ter, it would seem to me that
they at loss for words to give ent to their
disappointments, and forsooth why? Because shy
honest capable should succeed to Offices Of pub
lie trust and emolument! The "howl," ofthe loco
focos is still heard but the wings heed it not, and
when the next "Circle Hunt,' comes of in $50, the
Taylor party will be in at the "Death of the whole
ia attack upon the enemies of country, and the
"wolyes" will be all 'skiued'' or badly rounded.
have been in this city some few weeks and have
had opportunities Of seeing and hearing much ofthe
feelings and opinions Of both wings and democrats
who have had business with Col. Warren, and they
oil give him credit for his untirng industry, great
business habits and capacity, also for his decision
in matters appertaining to the duties Of his office.
Every person feels at home in his company, he is
always to be at his desk, and is decidedly one
of the very best officers under the government.
Now these opinions are the result of all the abu-
sive slang heaped upon him by the selite'' democra
cy2 such as .Co'iamer- Morbus,'' "Afeniap 3Rloody
Butcher,'' ssWarren of Debt paying nooriety,' etc.
etc. trust that Iowa will not forget that he halls
from that syoung, proud and growing State,'' and
her people will wish that they had had few thou
sand more such wings as Col. F,tz Henry Warren!
In regard to the Old Chief at the head of this Ma
ton, the Wolves may snarl and growl, but they cam
not turn him from the sseven tenor of his way.''-
He has hunted some Of them down, and will doubt
less scrippic' few more. Have you noticed with
what forecast, prudence and patriotism he has pro-
ceeded in relation to the affair OF the steam ship
sold to the German Government? In relation to
recognizing the Independence of the late Roman
Republic and Hungary Providing law and order
for California, and afforded succor and aid to emf
grants from the United States? In respect to Indi-
an outbreaks on the Rio Grande and Florida? His
course in reference to the descent upon Cuba9 And
lastly in reference to the French Minister NJ Pous-
sin, who wrote an insulting note to this Govern
ment few days since, and was promptly told that
his Passports were ready, and that this Govern
ment would not hold any intercourse with him
and would no longer recognize him as minis
ter of the French nation! Always cool and ready,
Gen'l Taylor will faithfully guard and otect the
interest and honor Of this country, despite all the
vile calumnies, outrageous ridicule and abuse of
the locofoco press.
will write you again, occasionally. In my next
will give you few instances of the non-proscrip-
ton course Of the last administration, and show
you that they were guilty Of what they now ass1il
US with, and to a much greater extent. Yours,
WING.
