We notice in the proceedings of this
body, that at an early day Of its present
session, the Hon. J. Gillespie, of Madison
county, offered a resolution which was
adopted, that the Governor be requested to
procure suitable block of stone from some
Illinois quarry, and to have the same pro-
perly prepared and forwarded, at the ex-
pense Of the State, 10 be placed in the
Washington Monument, in progress OF
erection in This city. This is an example
worthy OF emulation by every State in the
Union that has vet made no similar provi-
sion.

By the arrival here yesterday of the steamship
Ohio from Havana the 2lst inst, we have received
files of the Gaceta, the DiaTiO, and the Faro Indus
trial To the date Of her departure.
The Diario of the 18th gives an account OF a dis
aster which occurred the splendid brig Gessoria,
OF Barcelona, which was ON the point OF laundering,
through injuries received during tempest, ON the
18th ult, in latitude $50 NJ, and Coz l5 W., me
ridian Of Cadiz, when the American brig Sabine.
Capt. Warren s. Doane, hove in sight. With great
galanry the latter sent his boats and rescued the
Spaniards, when their vessel was going down. The
Sabine from Halifax bound 10 Jamaica, where
she arrived on the 30th ult.
There is nothing OF local nature in these papers
10 interest our readers. They are too generally
barren of news, and in this connexion we will APP
pend the following extract of private letter from
Havana, just come to hand by the Ohio, and which
we have been permitted to use
% Our newspapers here are free To give us infor-
nation relative to balls, festivals and other plea
sures, but regards politics the censorship is in
exorable Whilst the Government is occupied with
the pretended American expedition, our journals
fill their columns with theatrical criticisms, notices
of the opera, and such triles. The island however
is in state of the most profound tranquility The
Spaniards here lead purely material life, and al
though history speaks highly of their patriotism,
to live without labor of any kind. However, do
not think this state Of things can last long, your
country affords 30 fine example to the nations,
that they will at length comprehend that man
should live irce--and when they once strike for lib
erty, woe to the conquered But must quit this
subject, which is too exciting for feel that give
utterancc to sentiments which spring from heart
alas too sensible to the attractions of liberty.

The Opposition and the President.

In reviewing the topics which have
been discussed for the last four or five
months, we find that the Opposition jour.
mails have been mainly occupied with the
arrangement of President TAYLoR's policy,
foreign and domestic, and the defence OF
the Locofoco defaulters. These subjects
have furnished the staple for abuse and
denunciation; with how much reason and
good sense, very little consideration will
make manifest.
First of all came the outbreak with re-
gard to the war-steamer United States.
Whole broadsides were filled with articles
against President TAYLOR, and in support
of the views Of Baron RoENNE on this
subject. The organ of the foreign lega-
tions IN this city, for weeks together, la
bored 10 persuade the American people
that the envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary of the German Empire
had been very harshly treated, because
he was not allowed to use our navy yards
to arm, equip, and fit out vessel Of war,
TO be employed against nation with
which the United States were at peace.
True enough il was that the laws which
President TAYLOR was sworn to execute
required him to exact bonds from the par
ties in interest, for certain specified ends
but the performance of his duty in thi.
behalf was represented by the foreign or.
gan as an act of dscourtesy and outrage
We believe that the American people, anc
all the foreign parties concerned, are nov
satisfied that President TAYLOR was right
but the Opposition presses are still harp
ing on the war-steamer United States, anc
still abusing the Administration for then
alleged ill-treatment OF the envoy anC
minister Of the German Empire.
The Rey affair came next. When this
outrage was first suspected, President
/ TAYi OR took immediate measures TO vim
dictate our territorial rights. He demand
ed and obtained the return of the abduct
\ ed individual, and the case Of the Spanish
consul awaits the action of our judicia
tribunals. Every thing was done that Tho
occasion required; promptly done, rightly
done, and successfully done. But wher
/ II was known that the President had taker
decided measures on this subject, and wa
determined TO INSIST upon the surrender o
Rey, the foreign organ raised cry o
alarm. 1t was not prepared to say tina

What then is the amount of the fierce

What then is the amount of the fierce
outcry that the foreign organ has made
against the American people, because they
have seen fiji to elevate to the first office
in their gift a man s'with very limited
education''--who has "had no opportu-
nifty to acquaint himself with books, much
less to acquire knowledge Of law and
ethics" "who never filled civil Of
tice"-who was never ga justice of the
peace, State representative, represen-
tative in Congress, or judge"-and
whom the foreign organ knew in advance
would be therefore utterly unqualified to
discharge the duties of President? The
American people thought differently from
the foreign organ, when they made Gen
eral TAYLOR their Chief Magistrate. They
thought there was nothing in the duties of
that office which demanded the training in
civil affairs which the foreign organ deems
indispensable, but that it was enough to
select man of talents, virtue, integrity,
and patriotism. In reviewing the present
condition of the country, as far a. it has
been affected by the acts of his Admins
tration, in witnessing the fortunate solu-
ton of all the questions which have agita-
ted and interested the country during the
last six months, in spite of the mos. bitter
and unprncipled opposition that ever as
sailed government, we believe that the
American people are ready to reafiirln the
propriety of their original selection. There
is wisdom which no books can impart---
the wisdom of honest intentions and up
right purposes. There is confidence
which no SANDERS or vituperation can
shake-that of an intelligent people in a
man whom they believe to possess that
wisdom. But, when that wisdom is
crowned, and that confidence is estab-
lshed by uniform SUCCESS in diplomacy
no less than in arms, how idle is the effort
to disturb BY libels and lampoons the
faith Of the people, or the character of the
man of the people!

Major T. S. BRowN, Engineer of the Erie Rail-

salary of twelve thousand dollars year, with adj

Dedham Mass on Monday, advocating
a union with the Locofoco Hunker- OF

county senators. This almost caps the
climax Of FreeSoil degradation. II the

The editor of the Lynchburg VA Pa
triot, among other judicious and appropri-
ate comments upon the affair of Monsieur
Poussin and the Secretary Of State, makes
the following remarks, which we should
like to see the foreign organ republish and
answer. But we shall see no such thing.
Ii does not accord with its tactics to per-
NIT its readers to have fair view of any
subject, where an unfair one can best an
swer its purpose. Its mission is TO oppose
TO the hitter end the whole conduct of the
Executive, whether it be right or wrong:
'The disavowal by the French government of the
conduct of its minister places the Locofoco apollo
gists and defenders of that functionary in an att
tude peculiarly unenviable. IL will be recollectcd
that the Democratic journals throughout the coun-
try, with scarcely solitary exception, took sides
with M. Poussin in his controversy with Mr.. Clay
ton, and condemned his dismissal by President
Taylor act of unnecessary harshncss, wholly
uncalled for by the character of the provocation.
Every species of apology that the most fertile inge
nuity could suggest, in behalf of the discarded
minister sedulously paraded before the eyes Of
the people, with the view of exciting their synpa-
thy in his favor, and of casting odum upon General
Taylor's Administration In the eyes of Demo
cratic editors, our Government was IN the wrong
from the inception of the controversy to its termi
nation; and had France viewed the matter in the
light with these patriotic gentlemen, she would
have been amply justified in demanding PREPARATION
at our hands, and in making our refusal TO grant IL
ground Of mortal quarrel. We are, therefore,
curious 10 what these Locofoco sympathizers
will have to say when they learn that the French
government has wholly disavowed the conduct of
NJ. Poussin, and thereby virtually recognised the
propriety of the action of our Government. So ul-
ira was their zeal in behalf Of France that they
went bow shot further in defence Of her minister
than the French government itself, IL now APP
pears is willing TO go; and in their ctious hostility
TO the men who administer our government
they did not scrupe to palliate and excuse in
suit TO the whole nation, which France even under
the excitement necessarily growing out Of the dis
mssal Of her representative, has felt herself bound
to dsavow.
owe publish, in another column. several ex-
tracts from the English papers in reference to the
difficulty between France and the United States
and it is worthy of special remark that, notwith-
standing their cmbttered prejudces towards this
country and it's institutions, and their well known
disposition 10 ridcule and dcnounce indiscrmnate-
y all our public acts, yet no blame is attached, by
any Of these journals, to the United States Govern
ment for its dismissal Of the French minister This
single fact speaks volumes In behalf of the wisdom
and propriety of President Taylor's action in the
matter"

WASH N GT0N:
MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5. is4s.
The wheeling Congressional District.

The Wheeling Congressional District.
Our advices lead us to believe that the
result of the special election to be held in
the Fifteenth Congressional district, Vir-
ginia, on the 9Th instant, will depend
upon the Wings of Ohio county, and es-
pecially Of Wheeling. Thus believing,
we would anticipate with confidence a
glorious victory in that district, were we
not admonished by repeated disappoint-
ments that our party is often neglectful OF
its interests at time when they are most
in jeopardy. There is no city west of the
mountains more deeply and Immediately
concerned in the success of Wing prin-
ciples than Wheeling; and surely the
Wings of the Union have right to expect
from their brethren of that place the dis
charge of their whole duty at the APP
preaching election. There never was
more >taked upon a single contest. We
cannot ask the Wings to do impossible
ties, but we may tell them that they are
expected to do what they can. If Hay
mond is beaten, it should not be through
the apathy Of the Wings of Wheeling.
We have been persuaded that full Wing
vote there will secure his election. But
whether it does or not, our friends should
strengthen the Administration by showing
solid and determined front at the hour
of trial If those most concerned in the
prevalence of sound opinions waver or
turn aside, at time when an exhibition of
zeal and strength is most needed, it will
discourage their friends elsewhere and as
sure their opponents every where. Even
if defeat were certain, yet at such a crisis
the Wings of Wheeling should show by
their acts that they are ready when want
ed. But confident as many are that the
issue is in their hands, the country ex-
poets them to come up to the work with
steady purpose and willing hearts. Viii
they not do so Should Mr. Raymond
be defeated under circumstances which
made it apparent that the Wings of Wheel
ing might have elected him and would
not; and should the majority in the House
of Representatives in Congress, as is not
improbable, be decided by the result, we
shall moi envy the feelings of those OF ouI
| friends " no refuse their aid at such con-
juncture. 1t is not that we apprehend a
I IL
friends, but it is to warn them against the
apathy and negligence which has SO often
been fatal to our hopes. The Wings Of
the whole Union are looking to theil
brethren Of Wheeling with trust and hope
let them not be disappointed. Do wha,
you can, and, whatever the issue, you will
have the applause Of the country and the
approval of your own breasts.
