History OF TIE SHIELD OF STARS AND
sTRlPES.-A correspondent OF the Nation
al lnte!ligencer writes that he was lately
shown the armonial BEARINGS, in colors, Of
the H'nshin:tn family, lately brought over
rom England. He was so struck with
the resemblance TO the arms OF the United
States as to infer that the similarity was
intended as compliment to Washington.
The same correspondent has an indistinct
recollection OF hearing it said that the arm
OF the Union were arranged by Francis
Hopkinson.

GEN. TAyLoR'S SpEEcIlES.-Eilorts are
being made to ridicule Gen. Taylor on &C
count Of the responses which he has been
compelled to make to the addresses of his
fellow citizens at various places on his jour
ney. 1t is said that he is no orator; and
because he has not the gift Of eloquencc,
he is charged with being ignorant. There
is a want of cantor and honesty in those
who condemn him on such grounds, OF
which they should be ashamed. inability
to make eXtcmporc speeches is no evidence
of intellectual deficiency. Some of our
greatest men who have ever lived have
been deficient in oratofical powcs. Wash
ington, Franklin, Addison, and host OF
other distinguished individuals, failed to
shine as orators, but were recognized BY
mankind as among the best and the ablcst
of the human race. Gen. Jackson was nc
speaker. President Taylor has spent most
of his life in the discharge of military du-
ties where he had no opportunity to i'm
prove himself in oratorv, however he may
have cultivated his mind. We look upon
such objections to the President as puerile
and contemplate. Let "the tree be Judged
by its fruit If he be no speaker, he may
possess all the qualifications for the station
he holds-at least, let his actions be the
objects Of scrutiny, and not his want Of elo-
qnencc.
General Taylor IS travelling through the
country for information to see and Judge
for himself of its resources and its wants.
He is kindly received every where by men
OF all parties, who express to him the plea
sure which his presence affords them. He
cannot but reciprocate this feeling, and
thank them in such terms as he can CON-
mand. Whether his style Of speech be
fluent or otherwise, is unimportant, as the
sincerity of his desire to serve the country
faithfully cannot be doubted.
Party spirit may be of service to the
country when INDUCED in moderation-it
may make rulers cautious in their course,
and careful in their adherence to law; but
it should be directed to Legitimate purposes,
and not criticisms on oh-hand speeches.
When small objects are selected for attack,
it shows that there are no important ones
to assail. lBalt. Clipper.

the country by the Tariff Of 1915. Had
the 10, 300 tons Of railroad iron for which
the New York and Erie Railroad Compa-
ny recently contracted in England, been
made at these Rolling Mills at Trenton, it
would have distributed at least 100000
in that community, among the laboring
men and mechanics. But under the inf
cnce of the present Tariff, and that the de-
preston abrod, the company could purchase
their iron cheaper in England, and the
consequence|is that the laborers Of our own
country are deprived of the employment
which it would have given them. Such
is the practical operation ofthe present
Free Trade Tariff. Let the honest yeo-
many Of the land arouse to their true in
terests, and once more record their verdict
against its further continuance.

The brig Adam Grey, arrived here from
Havana, in s days passage, confirms the
statement brought by the Falcon, at New
York, that Rey was in prison, acknowl-
edged that he was abducted, and that his
declaration to the contrary was made under
threats.
The Delta saws that the men cole cted
at Grand Island, in the Gulfof Mexico, for
the mysterious expedition alluded to in the
Presidents Proclamation, does not exceed
300 in number. Gen. Twiggs has ascer-
tanned that tn. y had not single stand of
arms amongst them.
The Mobile Advertiser in abiding to
the same party says:-"We understood
some days since that they then numbered
about 100 men, armed, equipped and uni
formed, under the command of Col White,
who commanded the expedition to Yucca
tan. The rank and file, it is said, know
nothing of their destination, and the supe-
rior officers are perfectly close upon the
subject. General Twiggs is still at Pasca-
goula."

The justice ofthe above sentiment, we
presume, but few will question. 1t is,
however, too generally the opinion that an
Editor is pack-horse, made for the sole
purpose Of manufacturing great men out of
small ones, and entitled to no consideration
in return. But we think that an Editor .,
like every other man of proper feelings,
should befri end those who befrlend him:
and if his profession is not worthy the
support of political aspirants, his influence
is not worth having about nominating and

1yA correspondent of the Daily News
in giving an account of General Taylor's
Journey from Bedford to Somerset, relates
the following dialogue between the Presi-
dent and a Locotoco who met him on the
Allegheny mountains:
Loco.-[Walking up to the President
''Gineral how d we do!-Pm glad to see
we, but l didn't vote for we, cause Pm 4
Dimocrat."
Gen Tay'or.-Pm just as glad to see
you for all that; came here to see Wings,
Democrats, Natives, and all, and am glad
to see all.
Loco.-You said you would be the Pres
ident of the people, and not of a party,
and that you wouldn't be proscriptive; but
YOU v'd turned out the Dimocrats and no.
body else!
Gen. Taylor.-Who else would I turn

your party, and I, of course, desired an
equalization. If should let your friends
have all the places, and the Wings none,
it would be prescribing the Wings
Loco Your right, Gineral; l never
thought OF that. b'lieve the Dimocrats
did have all the places that's fact! They
first got 'em from Gineral Jackson.
Gen. Tayfor.-Yes, my good friend,
they've had possession Of them for nearly
twenty years; and they ought to be salts
fled with their half hereafter.
The argument was conclusive, and the
Locofoco could not escape; SO, with more
honesty than is possessed by those from
whom he drew his complaints, he 'con-
fessed the grain,' and owned up.
The whole affair ended in general laugh,
and the L9cofoco at parting, shook the
President by the hand, repeating, "you're
right, Gineral; "you're right till the car
riage rolled away.
