f,aI. Iener.nn nnri..

We observe mary of the whiE papers are aai,er ing their disconsoiae followers with the belief that the administration willreccivs cordial spppot, lron the eminent and distinguished democrat whose name heads this article. They promise themselves b,s aid and eountenance a the Senate from the fact tha; he was the son-in.law of General Taylor. What req son have they for inc belief which they express may be seen from the following extract ci letter giving an aceoaat of the tats State Democratic Convention held at Jscksou Mississippi addressed to the edaor of the Ohio Ssatssmaa.
 The convention was then addressed by Col. Jef- Ferson Dsvis-,he gallant leader of the Mississippi rifles at Buena Nista--a son-iE-law ofCsenetai fay lor and now one of The United States Senators from this State. His personal Fieniship laT GeRi fAy- is well known; but there IS perhaps man in the Senate or elsewhere who will take stronger grounds against the measures of the existing slghi Aeaded & mnis,ration, stand up sterniy in reouke of Ils hAgrant violation Of piighted faith. In common with all men. whose bread IS not dependent upon office, Col. Davis feels that ihe national character has been disgraced by the ialsifcation which the Taylor cabinet had made of the seductive promises Of the whg party and it's candidates, daring the pre- l sidential eontesH and his immense iniiaenee with the people of ths State will be actively exer,ed to render i, sure tha, the popular voice of Mississippi at the next election, shall go forth in stern eondem- nation Of the President and his federal advisers. Colonel Davis is vet comparatively young man of eminent talents. and of high promise. He was among the "bravest of the btaye'' in the late wal with Mexico, and by his skill and valor turned the tide Of victory favor of the Amercan arms on ths bloody field of R1ena Vista. For this distinguished man the democracy have higher hoaors in store. Il he remains true and faithful to our glorious creed 1 as he undoubtedly will. He has too much sagaciiy to sacrifice his bright prospects by giving his sup port 10 administration composed 0i the most aitfa proscripiive and odi whigs ia the country, even II General Taylor be nomibaly al Is head The whlg leaders who eohsoiing themselves with ihe
 idea that this administration IS 10 receive support or eoantenanee from any democratic senator, will find themselves shockingly deceived. On the eontfary,
 he democracy in the Senate will present an nndivi- ded front against the party in power, and will in a probability receise aid occasionally trom senators heretofore claimed as whigs in all measures of JasI and reasonable opposition.-h hiSsfssipPiaa.

 In commenting upon the recent bunder com mitted by the Secretary of State and the Cabinet, ia the matter of the steamer United States the Pro- videuce Herald thus indignantly remarks: "We feel ashamed for Taylor and his cabinet. when we chronicle this base subserviency, this coniemptble, in the Old World. Europe is on fire with a spirit of repubicanism Whole communities, whole na- ;ions are rising up against the tyranny of thrones. Sword meets sword in the conflict fer liberty; and blood flows t were rain in the streets, in defec of thes rights- The glorious mon, who have sw to have liberty or death, and inscribed Democrat notices upon their banners, turn their gaze to 1T own favored country, and ask, If not substantial aid, at least sympathies in their struggle In- stead of if. so far as the government is concerned, they meet a cold, harsh, bitter rebuke. All sympa- thy is denied to them; and tine administration tra- vels out of its way 10 trample upon their glorious cause-to express it's regard for monarchy, aud it's devotion 10 king ship and tyranny-to the despots who trample upon the necks and the rights of the people.
 Thank Heaven, the American people have little respect for this monarchy loving Taylor Repubii- can administration.
