The present and last Administrations

Ono cannot but be struck with tho contrast be-
tween the attitude occupied by Gen. Taylor's Ad-
ministration, in regard to questions Of foreign pol
icy, and that of the late government. The general
complaint with the enemies Of the Administration
is that Gen. Taylor will disclose his policy and
define his position, both upon foreign and domestic
questions. "What do you mean 10 do with the
French AFFAIR."" "What about the Mosquito king?''
care you for or against the Monroe declaration
These the ncessant inquiries Of his political ad
versarics Their curiosity seems 70 be as pcrpleY-
ing and III timed that of Santa Anna, who de-
spetchcd message to Gen. Taylor, in the midst Of
the battle of Bucna Vista, inquiring "tohat he
,rdntedr' The old hero sent him back word that
he wanted PEACE. We have doubt that he is sriv-
ing for the object now, though If il cannot be
secured upon a permanent basis except by a resort
to the "lsst arguments" Old Rough and Ready
will not be the man TO take fright at the aterna-
tive.
We admit, Gen. Taylor docs not come out and
say what is the American demand, and that he
must obtain that nothing. His course Is just the
reverse of the last administration. With them, II
was the "Whole Of Oregon or None" inscribed
even upon the banners of the preceding Presiden-
tial contest and boldly proclaimed in the lnaugu-
raj Address of the President The ELAINE and inn
potent conclusion of all that blustcr has made a
mortified nation heartily sick of all rash and vain
glorious declarations The country has assurance,
from the character Of Gen Tayler and the wisdom
of his councillors, that he will "demand nothing
but what is wright and submit TO nothing which is
wrong" If he is slow and deliberate in coming To
his conclusions he will be equally slow in relinquish
ing them when formed II he deals in no bravado,
IL fs because he is one of THOSE men who prefer ac-
ton rather than words, and who, once assuming
position assumes itin good faith and from thorough
canviction, building his policy upon an immovable
rock against which the winds and storms OF battle
will beat In vain.-Rich. Repub.

Defeat OF Thompson.

The loss Of tho 18th district, second Tenth Le-
gion Of Democracy calls forth variety of explana-
tons and anathemas from our political opponents
The Union gives the following extract Of a letter
from Wheeling, dated Nov. 10, lSfg:

After the return of Irwin from the hospital, the
conduct of the captain, and especially the mates
and the threats proved, soch as, in the opinion
OF the commissioner, justified Irwin in seeking his
safety by leaving ths ship He was not, therefore,
deserter in the law, and his second Imprisonment
was unlawful. But in this the captain had no
agency. He was not on board, and in his absence
the mate acting with the full powers Of the master,
had sent for the soldiers and caused the imprson-
ment
For this act the mate might be crimnaly liable,

orders of the captain it could not attach TO the cap

AT the last dates from New Orleans, the
bodies of individuals killed by the explo-
sion on board of the Inflated Louisiana
were yet being found. This was the most
tragical accident that has occurred upon
our southwestern waters for many years.
Besides those whose bodies have been
identified, there were many lost whose
names will never be ascertained. Perhaps
at some more or less remote day, we shall
see advertisements in the newspapers ask
ing the whereabouts Of this or that man,
who, when last heard from, was vending
his way to New Orleans But there will
be no record of his departure thence. He
may have been blown piecemeal by the ex-
plosion, or have gone down with the wreck.
An advertisement of this kind is too often
the only obituary notice which the stranger
and the emigrant ever receives.

The Danville Democrat says: "Hon Robert j.
Walker, late Secretary Of the Treasury, has been
recently on visit to the iron and coal regions of
this State. He examined the Montour Iron Works,
at this place, on Monday last and on the same day
paid flying visit to Northumberland, his native
place. On Tuesday he returned to Pottsville on his
way home, in company with Thomas Chambers,
esq, at whose instance he was induced 10 view the
extensive iron operations in this region 1t is said
that he has altered his free trade notions az far as
regards adj valorem duties on iron and COAL and
that he will lend his influence in favor Of moderate
specific duties on these staples Of Pennsylvania if
bill Of that kind should be brought before the next
Congress. Thus it is that speculative theory will
give way TO practical experience"

FLoGGING IN THE MAYA paragraph
has been going the rounds of the press,
and which was republished in the Republic
yesterday through inadvertence, stating
that torty.tour thousand eight hundred and
thirty lashes had been inflicted on board
the United States ship Independence dur
ing one trip; we have the most unques-
tionable authority to say it is without foun-
dation. The citation of Commodore STEW
ART as authority for the statement is alike
gratuitous use of his name, as well as a
piece of gross injustice to the officers who
had charge of the Independence during
tie trip in question.
