letter in the n. Y Tribune, favoring the re-
adoption of fiogging in,the navy. He enlist
ed in the service for few months last sum
mer in the Japan Expedition, and comes to
this conclusion from observations made at that
time.
We never saw any such letter in the Tribune,
and are 10th to believe Taylor has written any such
If he has, it is all we want to know about him
4 man must have precious little head and consid-
erably less heart to advocate any such system.

"Why should we longer be vassals to these cas-
tern lords The West is abundantly able to sus-
tain press in every respect adapted to her wants.
She has both the writer's and the readers. She
has the capital, the skill, and the industry to
accomplisha this object. If she fails in it to a
degree, it is because her patronage is divided, part
going to support her own press, and part to the
building up of those princely Nabobs of the East

UNION SENTIMENT.

We copy from the Fayetteville Observer, whose
esteemed editor was present at the late Southern
Convention, the annexed gratifying notice of that
distinguished body:
"It is a subject of gratifying reflection that in
all the discussions in the late Southern Commercial
Convention, and in the speeches at its dinner, not
one sentence inimical to the Union was uttered.
The discussions frequently took such turn as
would have brought out disunion or secession or
notification sentiments, if such had been entertain
ed, or would have been tolerated if expressed In
deed, Senator JONES, Of Tennessee, especially,
several times gave utterance to the most impasson
ed eulogy on the Union particularly at the dinner,
and others frequently spoke Of its benefits. To all
which there was manifestation Of dissent but
the most enthusiastic applause. These, amidst a
thousand Delegates coming mainly from South Ca
ro!ina, Georgia. Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana are notable facts. So may it ever be-"

THE NEBRASKA QUESTION.

Satisfied that an impartial selection of speeches
in Congress this exciting question would place our
readers in possession of all the arguments of principle
and expediency which ability and research could
bring to bear upon it, we thought it unnecessary to
continue to occupy our space with communications
the subject, especially anonymous ones, and there
fore time since declined the insertion of con-
siderable number which reached us from various
quarters. Having received one, however, from a
prominent citizen and subscriber in Virginia, with
his proper name accompanying and sanctioning it,
we consider it due to him to give his able commu-
nicaton place, which we do in the preceding page
