Gen. Taylor's Pledges and Promises.

whatsoever may be said OF the promi
SEES made BY Gen. Taylor, or how much
soever his letters may be perverted by
his opponents, With view to political
capital in order to re instate themselves
in power, the President owes duty to
his country and to those who elected
him, superior to all personal considera-
ton. That duty he appreciates and
nothing will interfere with the discharge
Of it. The policy of the Wing party is
his policy, He knows no other, and ev
cry question lying in the constitutional
line of that policy, will be met with firm
ness and decision characteristic ofthe
man. The same unninchag of determi-
nation OF purpose to face duty wherever
it may lead which prompted the expires
sion, 81 ~jHbe at Fort Broun to-morrow
i'll hrc,' will carry him as triumphan,ly
through his presidential career, as 1t did
through his Mexican campaign Pledges
and promises may be perverted by de-
signing and artful enemies, but the strict
integrity and firm determination OF the
man, will pursue its course straight for
ward. Gen. Taylor declared himself a
Wing, and we have no fear that his Off
cial action will in any respect belle tn e
declaration. He will keep his pledgea
as they were made. He has no enemies
to punish; but he has duty 10 perform,
and he will perform it. suffer who may.
That duty consists in part of Kidding the
government Of a swarm of office-holders
who have abused their trust. That he
will faithfully and fearlessly discharge
that duty, this course Of policy during
the last two months affords the amplest
guaranty.-Doiy .Neus.

The DEDrCATIoN OF TIE OnD Fellows
HALL AT WLMINGToN.-Somc thirty or
more members of Cecil Lodge I. 0. O. F..
of this town intend to visit Wilmington on
Monday, to participate in the ceremonies
of the dedication ofthc Odd Fellows Hall.
This Hall, the Philadelphia Ledger says,
is decidedly the handsomest building in the
State of Delaware, and cost $4,000.
The Delaware Journal of yesterday thus
refers to the dedication: "This spacious
and beautiful building will be dedicated on
Monday next, on which occasion there
will be, should the weather be good, the
largest and most magnificent display ofthe
kind ever witnessed in this city. 1t is ex-
pected that very large numbers (some say
200O) of the fraternity will come from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and elsewhere,
bringing their beautiful ornaments and &C
companied with fine bands of music. The
dress Of the odd Fellows is very orna-
mental, and their banners rich and attrac-
tive, and when moving in order they pre-
sent most gorgeous sight. The route
that the procession will take has not, at
the time we write this, been fixed upon
but doubtless it will be of such length as to
give our citizens generally, an opportunity
to witness the brilliant spectacle. Should
hp. went hpr bn f,yorohIo 4bo nr,4;o,, ,,.Jl
be delivered in the City Hall yard-if not
favorable Asbury Church will be chosen.
Great preparations in this city, as well as
in Philadelphia and Baltimore are being
made to render this display in the highest
degree splendid and imposing, and we
have not doubt that every high expecta-
ton will be realized, and we feel warrant
ed to promise to our citizens and the peo-
pie of the surrounding country the most
magnificent pageant ever witnessed in our
town"

ORIGINAToRs OF THE New York RI

until the originators of the riot are
brought to light and justice.
1T is we'll known who wrote, printed

be no difficulty in ascertaining where the
money came from"

The Late Major General Worth.

The death ofthis gallant officer, whose
military career is one of the brightest
and bravest in American History, must
excite sorrow throughout the country
Returning lately from New Orleans to
his command at San Antonio, Texas, the
first almost that we hear of him again
is his sudden demise by epidemic chole-
ra He was in the 55:h year of his age,
and had escaped death while intrepidly
leading to victory in greater number Of
battles than generally has fallen to the
lot OF an American officer to be engaged
in. General Worth was distinguished
soldier in two wars.-the war OF 1912,
in which he fleshed his maiden sword
and won bright laurels for his brow
was one Of the most brilliant heroes Of
the Mexican war, and terminated with
much success the Indian war in Florida.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives the FOL-
lowing sketch ofhiscareer:
''He entered the army. in the artille-
ry service. as private soldier. during
the martial feverthat ragged in the north
ern States in 1912, during the cam
'paIgn in Canada. He slgnalized himself
BY his soldiery department and sallantry
and was soon made a lieutenant, in
which capacity he again gave promise
of his future laurels, in the military
skill and daring he displayed. A, Lun-
dy's Lane he was badly wounded, and,
for his services on that bloody field, as
we'll as at Chippewa, he was brevetted
fist TO captain and then TO major. He
won, during his military career, no less
than four brevets on the field Of battle.
On the field ofPolaklaklaba, in Florida,
where he commanded and gained a VIC
tory over the Indians. he was brpvetted
brigadier-and again, major general
in Mexico. in one of the most brilliant
campaigns that ever attended the march
OF an army.
ellis services. as brave and judicious
officer, were always acknowledged by
the commander in chief for in nearly all
the battles of Taylor and Scorr. Worth
led the advanced assau'ing divisions. At
Monterey he carried the principal for
trrsses. He assisted to lombard Vera
Cruz, and was appointed governor ofthe
town after It's capitulalion. At Cerro
Gordo he took an active part led the al
vance to Purbla, distinguished himself
highly at Cherubusco, fought the most
sangu,nary engagement Of the war at Mo
lima. ana carried lis point though he
lost nearly half his men. and at The storm
ing ofCnapultepec and San Cosme dis
