GEN. TAYLOR AND THE UN1oN.-The remark
made some days since by the President, says
the Richmond Republican, that while he was
President she should do what he could to pre-
serve the Union, but, when it should be necces-
sary to employ force to maintain the Union,
it would be no longer worthy of preservation" ;"
is characteristic of the man of sense who now
occupies the Executive chair. We saw with
disgust, during the late crisis, several Northern
journals invoking the President to resort to
force. They mistake the character Of this
government, the character of its people, and
the character of the Executive, who make such
appeals. The only binding power of this Uni
on is the mutual good will of its people We
rejoice that the clouds are passing from the
political sky, and that better feeling indicative
we trnst, of returning friendship, is springing
np1in all parts Of the country. &

L1oNs AND BEARs.-Joseph F. Harding, of
Westfeld, Massachusetts, now in California,
in an account the San Joaquin country, says
that the plains back Of his rancho are covered
with thousands of wild horses, elk and deer
He states that bears weighing 900 pounds are
frequently seen passing up and down the river,
and also that lion had passed his camp within
twenty rods distance. The Springfield Re-
publican says the wild horses is passable, and
that il can bear the bear story, and though we
have no idea that Mr. Harding intended to lie
on the lion, we suggest that the animal he saw
was the elephant in disguise. The account,
however, we suppose reliable, but we believe
this to be the first lion noticed in those lati-
tudes.

PLAQUEMHNE:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL "a, 1850.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CoUNTRY.-We
think it will be admitted, says the Richmond
Republican, when the present storm OF sec
tional and political excitement saal have passed
away, that Gen. Taylor has performed his part
with signal frmness prudence and success, in
election to the Executive Chair. It has
been admitted even by those whose strong
personal prejudices have led to rigid censor
ship of the man and ali his acts, that the for
egn relations of the country have been con-
Quoted under his administration with great Dig
nifty, decision, honor and happy results. In the
affair of Pouissin we see the present Govern
ment is keenly sensitive to the slightest insult
or wrong to the nation, and indeed the COM
plant of the Democratic organs for long
time was that the pugnasity Of the government
would involve the Republic in difficulties with
all the powers of Europe. On the other hand the
suppression Of the interferences with Cuba,
proves that the administration is as just as it is
patriotic, whereupon, with singular inconsistent
cy, these opposition journals charge the Presi-
dent with trucking to foreign powers. The
truth is, he bps but pursued the middle way of
honor and honesty,-he has been moved neither
BY favor nor fear in his intercourse with for
egn nations His course upon the sectional
controversies at home, has been equally high
minded and dispassionate. Gen. Taylors re-
concentrations have emanated from the pure
est, most enlarged and most disinterested pa
triotism.
