What portent, are These !,

Under the head of Principles, not Men,o we find an article in the New York Mirror upon the bgotry of party, and particularly of the whg party of that State, from which we copy the following
 Perhaps in no State in the Union is the spirit of party bgotry carried 10 so cruel an extent as ia this; and nowhere Is the curse of demagogasm more powerfully exercised keenly felt than in the Empire State. There exists al Albany poli- tcai "Junto as active, as tyrannons, and as wick ed as tine inquistorial tribunal of the Jesuits.
 It Is organized for the undsguised and unholy purpose of gratifying the inordinae ambition oi one man, who is struggling to attain the highest pinnacle of human power-the presidency of the greatest republic the earth. To be considered a whig in New York, it is necessary to swear alegi- anee to this "central power" and
 "StOOp to kiss Young Malcom's feet"
 No matter how consistent a mans political course may have been, nor how disinterested the motives of hls political action, he is not Ahig, unless he believes that Seward is a god and Weed his patron saint
 If he happen to be applicant for office he shall not have even the humble position of a deputy census taker, unless he will promise to lay nest egg for Seward in every house, and circulate the Seward ticket for 1852. If he publish newspa- per- he shall not have line of the State's adver. using, naess he will swear to support !" Weeds candidate in his columns. He may have been an "orlglnal" friend, early and ardent supporter or t'enerai Taylor; he may have spent thousands oi dollars, and of hard labor, in helping to bring whig administration into power--and yet i, shall be counted as nothing. as "infnitely worse than nothing" unless he will fall down aud wor- ship the idol which this self constituted Jaato" have set up.
 But we are happy in the belief that such state oi things Is not Of endless duration." The st- mosphefe is filled with murmuIs not loud. but ceep and we begin 10 smell rebellion in the camp. Men will not always submit to be branded as " no whigs' merely because they cannot believe in the !" infinite greatness" of Seward, or the mmac ulate purity of Weed. Principles, not men, will hence forth be the battle-cry of the Union.
 This looks as though rebellion was brewing in tue ranks of the faithful, agains, the Seward and Weed jnnto at Albany. We verify belieye the election of General Taylor will result in the total disorganiEation of the whig party. as i, most ces. sainly will in the disered, of its chisf.--tU

Take Care of the Dimes!

Everybody remembers General IayinT's refusal to take any letters out of the posoiiee that were not prepaid; and that he actually refused the letter from he whIg eonven,ion announcing his nonina- ton by the assembled wtstom ol whigety. Every body knows how that letter was seR 10 Ihe gpne al postothce at Washington as refused letter, aud how the general sent afeF the said ettet and with deep sigh handed the dimes to Uncle Sam s postal treasury; doubiRg in h,s mind if that nomi- nation worth the p,eces of sioer he gave for it.
 Well, the New York Mirror, New York Herald, and New York Day Book were probably the first newspapers that minated him for President and as matter of course sent him copy oftheir papers; aud now the subscription for the year being up have forwarded hun the bills tor payment
 The President tells them that he has read their papers with pleasure and proA. but declines paying on the gronnd that he did not onier them. The Mirror praised hila because he nrrer surrendered True, he never surrendered the cash. The Herald praised him for his sublime simpiictty-but alas he is hot now sHbimeiy simple enough 10 hand out tte cash. The Day Book forwards it's account, but the General does not send anything to place to his cred en the Day Book.
 T'he Day Book says:
 [" But President Taylor won't pay them eight dollars that he owes for the Day Book, though he has owned his signature that he took it out of the office and read t with great satisfaction and pleasure; and though he sad il Tor wrapping paper to he grocery in Baton Rouge at four bits a hundred, can be proved on legal evidence. When his bIii sent hin, instead of paying 1t k. sn '' honest man" he rep,ed by a mere ,eer o hanks and by the way ol adiing insult 10 injury, sent the Day Book the same letter. word for Mold. which he addressed, al he same time, 10 tue New Yoik Herald and the Mirror; thus lntimating that he con sldered the Day Book to be on the ssme level with those papers," Cleveland PiandeaieI.

 GeatiemeH:-We have briefly to inorm you tha, intelligence has been received here that the Indians have made an attack upon the settlement of Indian liver. Elan by the of Barker, (brother-in in- law 10 Russell the Inspector al Indian river) Was killed n his field, and Russell shot through the arm in two places the house of atiis, another settler was basHea, and Bafkef's and Russeit,s houses sacked. Most of the settlers took vessel and have arrived at St. Augustine in very destitute and dis ressed condition. Intelligence has been he'd to W ashington. Yours, &c., b.
 ST. AUGUSTINE, July IS, ls49.
 To tte Ei,tors of the Sarana.dh Repa6iican-O Thursday evening last 18th inst party oi Indians made their appearance al the settlement on Indian river, and .illed Mir. John Barker in his field, and wounded Major w. F. Russell, the collector, and burnt the dwelling of MT. D. II. Gats. This created great excitement in the whole settlement, and there happening to be small sebooneT-rg ged boat on the river, of about four tons many of the settlers as could possibly !" stow '' themselves in her put oui immediately to sea. and made their way for this port where they arrived this morning. after suffer lngdreadiuly from exposure and want. The follow. ing are the names of the persons who arrived here viz: w F. Russell and daughter, W. E. Davis anC lady, Mrs. Walker and three children, Mrs. Burnham and four children, Mrs. Stone, Messrs Thoma. Hite, D. II. Gatiis, M. Navarra, M. Mcleod, Jame, P. Lightburn, William k. Tomb, and two others and five negroes.
 These individuals made their escape in tn, greatest possible hurry, having left many friend. and relatives, not knowing what has been their fate Thus it will be seen tha; what has been long apprehended has now come to pass, viz: that the Indians would break up the settlement on Indiai Ier, and perhaps engage in another general Indiaf i war. This occurrence Is most amenabie, as tbest worthy pioneers have been struggling hard fol several years, to provide themselves home, ant now are unceremonousy compelled to abandon at their hard earnings. It IS now to be hoped that th, authorities at Washington will see the necessity o at once sending sufficient force into Florida as vii oveTawe the Indians and prevent further difficulties Expresses were despatched to New Smyrna saG Tampa Bay to-day by Col.

CoHpiimeRtGry.--Th Freeman's Journal. of New York, Irish paper, indHlges in the following complimentary strain, in consequence of proposi- ton to invite the Pope to this country:
 "No sooner than that inipracticable absurdity should occur-sooner than the consecrated foot of the vicar of Christ should bear him 10 a soil where more than half of the public press would insult him, and more than half the remainder would ex- haust themselves in efforts make political capital out of him; sooner than he should come to d land where more than one-haf the Catholic population, ignorant of the etiquette that distinguishes even The poorest peasantry of Catholic land. would Eape at him with their hats or sit in his presence with their heels up in the air, we would excaim with the Cercle Catholique' of France, Rather We will go to you; our arms. wealth, our lives are al your services; yes, we love you far than we love our country or oar homes; are ready, al sign from you, to chase out those robbers from the patrmony Of st Peter. and 10 establish your throne in the Vatcan; bot, Holy Father, to not aifiiet our Catholic hearts by eing you ia land which is So unworthy of you, and which Is too i:ttte advanced in tho of the christian cviZa- ton to know how to receive you beeomingiy."
 IL strikes Us that people who love foreign poten- tate, spiritual temporal, better than they love their country or their homes. can hardly be re- garded as among the most trustworthy citizens oi the republic. We honor The ingenuousness which could avow the truth in this case; for Roman Catholics have often denied their paranout attach ment to Rome; but we fear that such confessions @ g*e some coier ;o the charges of potcai agits- tors who have made a handle of assertions, which the Freeman's Journal now frankly substaniates, as Tar as it's own disposition is concerned -.
