handful of men, consisting of but four thousand
raw recruits and FIVE hundred regulars, in hostile
country, surrounded by an exasperated population,
ready TO rise IN rebellion and strike at him the first
opportunity, when the sagacious Santa anna, per-
ceving his deenceless and perous condition, at the
head of a powerful and well disciplined army,
quadruple his numbers, made forced marches across
the desert from the city OF San Louis TO surround
and CAPTURE him, and thus regain all that had been
los. in former conflicts. Upon that trying occasion,
when the heart of every American patriot throbhed
with the most intense anxiety for the fate of TayIo
and his devoted little army, Santa Anna, flushed
with pride and the certainty Of an easy victory,
ordered him to suuender-then it was that his re-
ply, General Taylor never surrenders," became
immortal and when she respectfully declined to
accede to his proposition" decision upon which
hung the most momentous consequences to himself
and his country, it fully vndicated him as man of
most nhexible hrmness and the glorious result of
that battle which electrified the nation with thrill
of joy, illustrated his sound Judgment and solid
wisdom, which laughs to scorn all his revilers and
traducers.
With an honest heart, sound judgment, and a
firm purpose, surrounded by cabinet composed of
gentlemen Of sterling worth high abilities, and ad-
minisrative talent, imbedded as he is in the affec-
tons of his countrymen, and Judging the future by
the past, predict that the administration of Gen.
Taylor will be one of the most brilliant and pros
porous that we have ever had.
A TAYLOR DEMOCRAT
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-06-25
From the Dela,oare Republican.

REMovALs.-The Locofoco papers extremely
savage upon General Taylor for the removals from
Office which have been made. The most vile cpl
thets are applied to him, and he is not only de-
nounced as being incompetent to discharge the du-
ties of his station, but he is charged with violating
his pledges. In proof of this charge they assert
that he declared that he had "no friends to reward
no enemies to punish'' This is msrepresenta-
tion-General Taylor never used those words. He
said in the second Allison letter, which the Loco
focos have garbled to suit themselves: g have no
private purposes to accomplish, party projects
build up, no enemies to punish--nothing to serve
but my country"
poses, he deems Unnecessary to call around him new
men, who will lend him their aid ard use their
offices to thwart and defeat his efforts. The follow
ing were the opinions of the editor Of the Union on
the Oath of July, l845 if they were correct then,
they correct yetthe mere fact of the Presiden-
tial chair being occupied by another man does not
change their nature; we commend them to the
public:
'The removals which have been made have been
imperiousy called for by decided and irresistible
public sentiment. Other removals will doubt be
necessary, and will not be prevented by the
less clamor of the Wings. Justification of a mea-
sure is uncalled for when overwhelming popular
approval sanctions it. An Administration placed
in power by the voluntary suffrages of the people,
and ndustriously engaged in carrying out the will
of that majority, securely rests its confidence in the
honesty and in diligence of the Masses and in the
present is in no danger of being diverted from
its purposes by the interested revlings of bitter OPP
ponents."
The tune is now changed the men who four
years ago went for rotation now go against it; but
we can inform them that the Administration s'rests
It's confidence in the honesty and intelligence OF the
masses, ana Is IN no danger of being driven from its
purpose by the interested revilings of bitter oppo-
nents.n

Upon the opening of the Federal Court in New
York on Tuesday morning, PREscorr HALL,
Esq, United States District Attorney, arose and
addressed the court as follows:
Ii has been practice in this court, when events
OF public and solemn nature have occurred, to
manifest its sense of their importance by suspend
ing for the day It's ordinary business and avoca-
tons.
An event of this nature has lately happened.
James X Polk, distinguished citizen of the State
OF tennessee, and so recently President of the Unit
ed States is no more!
The melancholy intelligence has Just reached us,
borne on the swift wings of that electric messenger
which IN an instant conveys to all parts of the Re-
public udings OF sorrow as well as of public Joy
That an individual has been President of the
United States is evidence enough that he is no or
binary man. To receive the suffrages of millions
OF American freemen is ample proof of merit in him
on whom they are bestowed.
Mr. Polk received this demonstration of public
regard, and during the period of four years of great
change and excitement at home, and of war abroad
so administered the affairs placed by the Consti-
tuition under his charge TO respect for him.
self among his felow-citizeps, for his country the
enduring regard of the whole civilized and nteli-
gent world
He has gone down to the grave in the fitness OF
his career, and before the period which should, as
we hoped, have numbered his days. He has joined
the band of lustrious men who preceded him; but
one Of whom elected to this "great Office" now sur
wives TO look back upon the of his distinc-
ton.
An event of public moment has, therefore, oc-
CURED, of sufficient importance to justify me, one
of the law officers of the Government, to call upon
this court to manifest It's regard for the memory Of
the deceased President by some act which shall en-
dure upon its records-and therefore move tina
this court do now adjourn, and that the of its
adjournment be entered upon the minutes.
The motion was granted by Judge Belts, with
appropriate remarks; and he directed Mr.. Hall
Mr.. Cutting, and Mr.. Shepard, to draw up appro
pirate resolutions, to be recorded by the clerk.

Accident. ON the ws.,sr. Rivers.


We pride ourselves on having fleets of
commercial steamers on our rivers in the
West, outnumbering those of half the Eu-
ropean world; and we pride ourselves on
having, long before the value of steam
was at all known to commercial enterprise
on the other side of the Atlantic, had hun
dreds Of steamboats, in operation on those
rivers; but we forget the humiliating fact
that, notwithstanding our long experience,
steam navigation in the West is attended
with greater number of accidents than
occur in any other quarter of the world.
It seldom happens that we take up week
ly record Of occurrences in the West,
without meeting with heart-rending de-
scription of some steamboat explosion
Collapse" as it is termed; the word
CRATES the ear, having SO long been associ-
ated with death and human agony of the
worst kind. So frequent have these acct
dents become, that they scarcely call forth
a passing remark; the evil appears to be
viewed as inevitable. 1t is high time,
therefore, that the subject be thoroughly
looked into.
There being no unknown physical prin
ciple in steam which places its agency in
any manner beyond our control, we con-
fdently appeal to the engineering talent
of the country to apply preventive against
these sad accidents, whether caused by
collapse Of the fues of the boilers, or by
actual external explosion. Apart from con-
siderations of humanity, it's reproach on
our mechanical skill and our boosted science
in these matters. Indeed, the constant
explosions on board of the Mississippi
steamers have made us by-word with
other nations, who ascribe to ignorance,
or at least to Indifference, these frequent
accidents. We insist, then, that something
! ought to be done, forthwith, to abate these
fearful casualties. We shall recur to the
subject till it receives, from the power COM
potent to apply an adequate remedy, the
attention it deserves. 1t is the mission OF
this Administration to cultivate the Cen
nobling arts of peace" What higher-ob-
ject can engage the attention of the Ma
tional Legislature than the removal Of an
evil-not difficult of remedy-and which
now fills our western valleys with widows
and orphans'

COALITION OF THE BARyBURNERs AND
LOCOFOCOs.

On or about the 18th of August, 1913,
the Union informed its readers that Mr..
VAN buren, had become the candidate of
an "unhallowed combination" and of
disgusting coalition" between the Glib.
erty men" and the Barnburners, to "gra-
tify his ambition or to satiate his revenge. :"
"The Democrats of the State of New
York." said the Union, "have every mo-
tive that can animate high-minded and in.
domitable republicans to cast out these
fdctious Barnbvners who would sacrifice
the Union 10 their passions These men
are worse than Wings. They are not only
opposed TO the Administration, but they
are building up a northern party-fatal,
as it may prove, to the Union itself-to
attain their miserable objects"
"lt is amusing, as well as disgusting"
says the Union of the same date, ''to see
the fanatic JOSHUA LEAvITT congratulate
the Abolitionists upon the Union of VAv
buren, and ADAMS"
So again, few days afterwards, the
Union said, "The influence of GrDDrNGs
is said to have turned the scale in favor Of
the New York apostate. GIDDrNGs and
b. +. BUTLER are said to have wrung
each others hands on the public platform,
in the presence of the multitude, until it
seemed that they would wrench each
others arms from their sockets"
Having thus prepared the way by giving
the Union's own account of the disgust
ing coalition " Of the Barnburners and the
Abolitlonsts, for the purpose of building
up new northern party on the "most mis-
chievous Of all distinctions in a confederacy
Of States "-and after having exhibited, in
the striking deineation of master pencil,

LDUIsT

The New Orleans papers of the 18th
inst. bring Us the most cheering accounts
of the opening Of the campaign in Louisi-
ana. On the evening before, an immense
gathering of the Wings had taken place at
the depot Of the Pontchartrain railroad, al
which Cen Declonet and Mr.. Kenner, the
Wing candidates for Governor and Lieut..
Governor, and Mr.. Conrad and Judge
Jackson, Congressional candidates in the
LIST and I'd districts, made able and effective
addresses. the Fillmore Rangers were
out in full force, and were every where
checred on their march to the depot with
outbursts Of applause. The gallant young
Wings Of Louisiana are coming up to the
business with resolute hearts. We are
mistaken if they do not make a crerasse
in the Locofoco representation from that
State.

cool, not only in physical but in mental sense.
Avoid all excItements Be calm and equable of
temper. Dismiss every peevish or fretfu thought.
Have care with regard to your diet and clothing.
BE cheerful, attend to your regular pursuits, eat
wholesome food, and a sufficient quantity and avoid
only those articles that disagree with you. There
are many persons who are in the habit of getting
excited with little reason. They will worry them
selves into passion about a matter that has no i'm
portance whatever. They will fume and fret at
trlfes. All this is wrong and unwse at any time

GEN GOLFERS PARrr.-The Ohio State Journal
has letter from member Of Gen. Golfers party.
ION its way to ST. Francisco,) dated at the Blue
Prairie, 9th May. This, says the Journal 'brings
the gratifying intelligence that the members
are, without single exception, in good health
and excellent spirits. The party is thirty in num-
Der, and is escorted by two companies of the United
States Dragons, containing $50 men. They are
mounted on fine horses, with good saddles and
equpage, have each rifle and pair of United
States holster pistols for their defence The mem
bcrs Of the party are mutually pleased with each
other, and with their principal, and so far have en-
Joyed their journey extremely. They are in the
highlands, where the air is pure, so that thew nre
beyond the cholera, have had no symptoms, and do
not deem themselves IN danger. They find the gras,
sufficient for their horses and the large train Of
mules which accompanies them, so that all are in
thriving condition The letter states that from wba,
they have been able to learn there is no ground for
apprehension of danger from the Indians"

"KEEP CooL."-This is a common expression,
but a result not easily attained with the thermome-
ter at $50. The benefit that may be realized in
excessive warm weather, by pursuing the following
course, cannot well be realized but by trial Of it.
In the day from and after 7 o'clock, shut both the
windows and doors Of your house, and in the eve
ming and night open to the greatest practicable ex-
tent.
The philosophy Of it is this. When the air is
heated by the sun and by the reflection from the
earth, houses, &c. il should be excluded and when
the external air has become cooled to lower tenn
perature than that within the house, at evening
and night, then the windows and doors should be
opened.

will have the kindness TO notify us Immediately,
and 10 notify also the postmaster at the office where
the paper is deliverable If the fault is IN our office
it shall be remedied.
One of the gravest objections urged by
the opposition press to the course pursued
by the Government in arresting an infrac-
ton of our neutrality laws, seems to be
that General TAYLOR interposed to prevent
the sailing of the "United States" before
he was nstigated to do SO by Mr.. Bile,
the Danish Minister. The Union has re-
peatedly laid stress upon this fact, and at
tributed the subsequent remonstrance Of
Mr.. Billie to the suggestion Of Mr.. Clayton,
or some one else in the interest of the
Cabinet Hence we infer, that the oppo-
sition deem it quite excusable in the Gov
eminent to wink at violation of the neutral
rights of the country; nay, aid and abet
such violation, if it can be done without
exciting the suspicion or provoking the in
reference of the representative of some
foreign prince or potentate. According to
these expounders of American law, Gen
eral TAYLOR should have folded his arms
and held his peace, whilst notorious
breach of faith was being committed, until
instructed in his duty by diplomatic
agent of one of the crowned heads in
Europe! This point is seriously made, as
though the Intervention of foreign am
bassador added to the force of our own
statutes, or impaired solemnity to the obi
CATION of an oath.
1t is feature in this affair, that the
President, as soon as he ascertained that
a foreign vessel was arming in our waters,
in defiance of the public law, interposed
his authority to prevent the contamination
of the wrong, without waiting to be in
structed in his duty by the resident Min
iotCl vi DCuiudIh. Anu lllls ldCt 10 HOW
urged against him as an offence. These
exclusive Democrats, who affect to be the
only advocates of freedom, and set them
selves up as the special guardians of popu-
lar rights, insist upon it that the President
of the American people should have re-
fused or neglected to enforce the laws of
the land, until he was moved thereto by
the representative of his Danish Majesty!
After Mr.. Bile demonstrated in be-
half of his Government, the Union insists
upon it that he did so upon a hint from
the Secretary of State-an insinuation
which could lay no claim to respect under
any circumstances, but which their cor.
respondence shows to be entirely gratui
:ous; for Mr.. Clayton distinctly states thai
the President interfered in the matter
before the Danish Minister interposed
showing plainly that it was no part of the
purpose of the Government TO conceal the
fact or rest its justification upon Mr..
Bille's despatch.
The Union informs us that Mr.. Bile die
not take any step in the matter until twelve
days after the order for suspendi,g the fit.

circumstance is set forth with such typo
