Gen. Taulor's Pllrnoses

We believe that there are now very few persons
OF any party i'll Washington who doubt the opln-
ion expressed by Senator Jefferson Davis, in the
following extract as to Gen. Taylor's views re-
garding the Wiimot Proviso:
Governor Poindexer addressed public meeting re-
Gently in jackson, Mississippi. In the course Of his
speech he asserted that President Taylor would certau-
ly approve the Wilmot provso in the California bill
whereupon Mr. Arthur drew forth letter which he had
received from Jefferson Davis, in which the following
passage occurs, going to show that Gen TAYLOR fril
veto the BILL should it before him with the pro,
viso
" have little doubt now of the passage OF the VIII
mot proviso, or some equivalent measure. Dickinson
will vote against it, Cass will not vote for it ; and Thu
Is, believe, the whole opposition which will be Offered
by the Senators of the n-saveholding States But
my observations here have destroyed my hopes in Con
gress, they have, the other hand created some con
hdence that the President will veto the bill AS have
often told you, his heart with and he believes the
measure will be destructive to the Union which he car

will cast precedent and Northern advice lar from him
and meet the emergency becomes his station and
