Mr.. Miles Taylor and the City of New Orleans.

DESIRE Messrs Editors the part of many citizens
to know something Of Mr. Tayor's position upon the
question of removing the seat Of Government to New Or
leans This Of the most important questions to be
decided at the ballot boz in our election on the 9Th Of
next month and It is fit that our citizens should know
Mr. Taylor's opinion upon It..
1t is well known that in tho Convention which formed
the Constitution of 49, Mr.. t., who was a prominent
member Of voted for the odons clause which drew the
proscrtiys circle Of sixty miles around the city and
spoke usvor Of IT. In order among other reasons to re-
the officers of Government and the Legislature from
the corruptng influences Of the city tits Of course
desirable to know whether he has changed his views on
this subject and whether his recent and intimate
acquaintance with citizens has removed from his
mind extraordinary and bitter prejudice with which
1t was then filled ~ 5--.
As ainterrogatoriesn to be the order of the
day would beg leave respectfully to ask that gentleman
whether in the next election he will vote r or against
the removal OF the Government to New oreans End if
against it, BIS kind enough his reasons for his
opposition further to state whether the reasons
pressed in his speeches in the Convention still continue
operate with him. >
large portion Of the city lies within the District in
which be aspres to Congressional honor if he thinks
the influence exercised by his of that por
ton to be corruping that the of Government
should be sixty miles away from Them they desire to
know IL. Iy =E INauREs.

&.
There will be q mass meeting Of such of the
citizens Of New Orleans as favor the doctrine
that !" Americans should rule America y on
Washington Square, Third District, this epen-
ing, commencing at o'clock. lns
We anticipate noble, an american demon
stration, this evening, and when we say this We
can say no more. We do not expect it to be
particularly noisy or enthusiastic. We desire
to see no spasmodic outbursts, that die away
with the subsidence of the violent effort which
gave them birth. Let all be cool, calm, dispas-
sionate, determined bear themselves as be-
comes brave and Intelligent men---who know
their rights, and knowing, will dare the hazards
Of the cannon's mouth for their maintenance.
Eloquent and able speakers will address the
assemblage. The first men Of the State will be
there to utter words wisdom and patriotism,
to conjure their fellow countrymen to come
to the rescue Of their native land in this, Its
hour of peril this, its crisis, where as much
is really involved as was involved in the result
Of the War Of Independence.
