Subject to the decision of the Whig National
Convention.
The Tory Uuion admits that General Taylor will
break up the t try party organization. Nay, air, he
has already done it!
The Tory Union boasts of the popular enthusiasm
in favor of the war! But the same paper boasts of
the popular Enthusiasm in favor of Mr. Polk, who
maJe the war!
Governor Shurik, of Pmnpylvaniu, hus pardoned
one John Coggins, found guilty of horse htealing.
Hour natural for the lories to tympath ze with their
brethren of the Coggins family, for Coggiua is, from
the nature of this offence, a freebooter, aJiafe a plun
derer Of other men's substances, alias a tory !

Two years more, says the Pittsburg Telegraph,
"Will rid the political world of the greatest humbug

There is nothing in the whole course of this active

Always excepting the rcceni Tory victory in the
Old Dominion!
Th* French Steamers.?The Courier des Etats

Q^/Capt. Cutter, who is known^to fame as the
author of the most brilliant poem of the age?"The
Song of Steam"?commanded the Kenton Rangers
in the battle of Buena Vista, and behaved himself
most gallantly throughout the action.
The tory Boston Post charges the Whig |.arty
with the design of taking advantage of the 'compre.
hensive and vigorous military policy of the Admin
istration. Ha, ha, ha! !! He, he, he ! ! ! Ho, ho,
ho! !!
(C/1 A few evenings since ao a lady seventy years
of age, was turning the corner of Fifth and Walnut
streets, Philadelphia, on her way to a daughter's
residence^ short distance below, she was assailed
by three boys* one of whom had the audacity to
dash a handful of mortar into her face, covering one
eye completely, and causing the most intense an
guish. The mortar, entering the eye, endangered
the sight, and though she has since been under the
hands of the most eminent physic.an, the danger is
not considered as passed.
(j^Thcy have an illumination in New York to
morrow evening in honor of the victory of Buena
Vista &(\, and Saturday will bo kept as a day of
mourning for the gallant dead who have fallen in the
war with Mexico. The shipping is to display flags at
half mast, the churches are to be opened, the bells
are to toll and business generally is to be suspended.
This it a proper thing. May the prayers offered up
on that day for a peace be speedily realized !
Q^/*The Tory Union is terribly distressed because
the friends of General Taylor advocate his election
upon different grounds?the Whigs because he is
? staunch' Whig and the Neutrals because they con
sider him a? a no-party man and the Democrats be
cause they regard him as a sound Democrat. We
sympathize with the "obsolete abstraction" of the
Union in his sorrow, but we do not see any way to
p revent the sovereign people from electing General
Taylor, and from dning it on just such grounds as
they are pleased to assume !
It is fortunate, says an eye witness, there were
few Americans at Vera Cruz when Scott and Perry
drew up their forces around it, for I know not how
or where they would have found a refuge. Cer
tainly not at the hands of their own countrymen. I
but atato what I saw, when I declare that the four or
. five citizens of the United States who were driven
out by the bombardment, wandered from vessel to
vessel soliciting shelter, and were everywhere refus
ed, if they did not preface their request by the dis
play of the omnipotent dollar.
A vulgar and doting mother, expatiating on the
domestic qualities of her daughter to one whose re
gard she desired to attract, says : "Oh, Mr. Cresley,
could you see my daughter engaged in her house
fcald duties f She is almost perfect in the kitchen.
She even peels potatoes with a pecooltar grace !"
"Madam," said Crenley, gravely, "would tha't I
were a potatoe !"

? T. H. L.
TORY TRICK UK V.
The grand effort of the Tory party, just noW, is
to make it appear, that the Whigs are not serious
in their advocacy of Gen. Taylor for the next Pre
sident, that they design merely to avail themselves,
as a party, of his immense popularity, and then to
drop him and take up somo other candidate more to
their liking.
This charge comes with bad grace from a party
that is notorious for this very policy of using a man
for parly purposes and then dropping him and tak
ing up any other person who can promote its pur
pose of plundering the public treasury. It held on
to Mr. Van Buren through all Mr. Tyler's adminis
tration with a bull dog tenacity, hut when it found
that his election was not achievable, it unceremoni
ously dropped him and took up Jam s K. Polk.
But is there any ground upon which (he Tories
m iy even ostensibly base their allegation that the
Whigs purpose to ajopt the Toiy policy of expedi
ency in this matter of General Taylor and the Pre
sidency ? None, in the least. There is not even
the shadow of a basis for their accusation.
The Whigs in their primary meetings, and the
Whig presses generally throughout the Union, have
declared their preference for General Taylor as the
next President.. They have done so with a deep
felt sincerity that cannot be mistaken. Every day,
every hour, this feeling is spreading and taking
stronger hold of men's hcaits. It has already be
come an irresistible feeling; and yet the Whigs
have no intention of throwing aside the ordimry
party organization, which, with them, is not to dic
tate what the Whigs of the Union shall do, but is to
give form and embodiment to their preferences, by
declaring to the world what those preferences are,
and which is to put in motion the proper machinery
for carrying into effect their will. The Tories see,
with half an eye, that long ere the time arrives for
the assembling of the National Whig Convention,
there will be but one voice in the party, and, that
voice will be for the invincible Taylor; hut they are
animated by the vain and desperate hope, that, if
ihey can in any manner fix upon the Whigs the
suspicion of a design to touse the Hero of the battle
fields of Mexico for party purposes, they will be able,
in some degree, to arrest the defection which is daily
going on in the ranks of the Democratic party threat
ening its utter dissolution. But no such base idea
as thut of using the name of the merciful Hero ol
Monterey, for party purposes has entered the minds
of the Whigs. They treat with the scorn and con
tempt it deserves the imputation. It is only worthy
of the source whence it comes. The Whigs knou
Gen. Taylor to be a Whig, to be a sound statesman
to be an honest and a good man,?they know him
to be the greatest General the world has ever pro
duced, for he has fought four battle.-*, the like oi
which is not to be found in the annals of war, ani
he has written their histyry. The Whigs knou
him to be a man who loves and reveres the constitu
lion, and whose ambition it will be to sustain no:
overturn constitutional government. They are in
earnest, deep, abiding earnest in their desire to make
him the President. It is the Whigs who have saic1
that he shall l>e President, not Gen. Taylor who hai
said, I wish to lie President. No, No, Messrs, To
ries, who scribble for the Union and its satellites,?
your effort is in vain. Honest Democrats by the
thousand will vote for the old Hero. There is nol
a leading Whig statesman in the country wh > does
not glory in Zachary Taylor and whj will nol stand
in the presence of such a man as Chief Magistrate,
with the proud satisfaction of knowing that he is u
m n-in all things, a statesman equal to the best ol
them. Quiet your fears, Messrs. Tuiies, the Whigs
are for Gen. Taylor now and forever. When Mr.
Polk made this Mexican war to make himself Presi
dent a second time, he forgot the maxim, that when a
civilian makes a war in a Republic, the war makes
bis successor out of the Hero of that war. Gi>(l, in
his kind Providence, hath raised up Zachary Taylor
one of his brightest and noblest creatures, out of this
cruel war, to restore this Republic to its pristine pu
rity and glory, and no earthly power can prevent his
elevation U) the Presidency. Cease then your vain
opposition, and bow to the popular will.
Who shall any that nothing good has come to us
from Mexico ! Not the ladies certainly, for .he
Mexican cactus has supplied to them the prettiest
mtterial for bonnets that even Yankee invention has
yet thought of employing. This material is the fibre
of the plant?fine as silk, lustrous as silver, and
atrong as any thing need be. The bonnet, when
made up, ia called the Cicilian ; why the word
"Mexican" was not adopted we do not know. The
lady editor of the Boston Transcript gives it her
unqualified approbation ; and it has, moreover, the
superlative merit of being easily cleaned, with only
soap and water, and coming out from the process as
beautiful and durable as ever. Higijins of N. York
are the makers, and they are all the vogue in that
city.
A young man named Charles H. Smith, aged
only 23 yeara, was hung, or rather tortured, alowly
smothered and worried to death, at Hickman, Ky.,
on the 20th inst., for the murder of Abraham O.
Tyler. A small cotton rope was placed around his
neck, which broke when the drop fell. The victim
lay stretched on his back for aome minutes upon the
ground iu great agony and apparently dying. But
he recovered sufficiently to again ascend the plat
form. This time the sheriff went to the other ex
treme, using a rope or cable so large and rough that
the noose would not tighten ! In ten minutes after
le was swung off, the tortured man was still kick
ng, apparently in great agony. Horrible ! This
n a civilized community and in this age !
It ia idle to attempt to arrogate the glory of thia
iventful war to this or that commanding officer.
Tory Union.
People of the United States, hear you that? Mr.
folk bids you to give to him, not to the irate old
Tatlor, the glory of this Mexican war.
Letter from Gen. Taylor.?We understand!, says
the New York Mirror of yesterday, thnt there is a
letter in town from Gen. Taylor, written in reference
to his nomination for tho Presidency, in which he
expresses a preference for Henry Clay over every
other candidate yet named, and for Crittenden and
McLean next. But notwithstanding, that these are
hia preferences over all others, he still candidly
avows that he is not indifferent to the will of >the
people, and rather intimates that he will feel himself
. bound lo accept the Presidency it the people t-hould
I persist in thrusting it upon him. So, let us hear no
more about his declining the nomination. He is
not one of the sort to shirk his duty.
The Boston Post says, in reference to the deter
mination ol the people to make General Taylor Pre
sident, that it takes two to make a bargain. These
tories are such inveterate political hucksters, that
they cannot believe it possible for a President to be
elected without a bargiin being struck between them
and the candidate, and without attributing to the
people sordid motives. But 1848 will teach them
that the people are not so corrupt as they imagine
them to be.
The boundary line between Massachusetts and
Rhode-island, which has been in dispute since 1791,
was settled a few days ago by the commissioners ap
pointed to establish it.
The Indiana papers are calling upon Mr. Kenne
dy, late M. G. from that State, to niuater his corn
cob Regimentf.(under the recent call of the President
for more volunteers) with which he boasted while
in Congress he would whip Mexico if she dared to
go lo war with ;is, but they call in vain. You ne
?ver will catch Polk, Kennedy, Ficklin, Thompson,
Buchanan, Marcy, Ritchie, and that tribe going to
the battle-field to fight in the war of their own crea
tion ! - ,
The following are the recently appointed mem
bers to compose the Levy Court of this County :

R. Belt, John Cox, Robert White, Lewis Carbery.
'But what, at last, (says Mr. Webster at the late
dinner in Richmond) are military achievementa 1'?
It is true they have fixed the fate of nations, turn
ed the tide of human affairs. But, after all, what is
their end but to establish free government and pro
mote public prosperity V
It is a terrible resort, but it becomes necessary in
the order of events. Our government is any thing
but free, and our affairs any thing but prosperous.
This war has produced a Zaciiaht Taxioh. His
, elevation to the Presidency is necessary to re-establish
f free government and promote public prosperity. It
, will be thi end of this work.
The 'obsolete abstraction' of the Tory Union, af
ter violently denying that General Taylor is a Whig,
' is forced at last to admit that the Whig presses and
' Whig committees, who have nominated the old He
ro for the Presidency, would not have taken so de
^ cided a step, except, upon sure information, that he
j was a staunch Whig. Stick a pin there !
, The Tory Boston Post says that the Whigs con
. nect business with politics. To be sure they Jo, and
t it.is right thoy should, to counteract the wicked
, measures of the Tories, who make a business ofpo
, litics !
I I he tory Boston Post asks what the Whigs mean
? to do 1 They mean to give you and your party a
Buena Vista threshing in 1848, and make Zachary
? Tailor the President of the United States, Are
' you satisfied, sir ?
( Capt. Duffer company of dragoons will sail,
with a full compliment of men, from Fort Hamilton
for Point Isabel, on Friday next. There will depart
at tho same time Captain Wilder's company of the
r 10th regiment of Infantry. The last detachment of
Capt. Temple's regiment is rapidly concentrating at
Fort Hamilton, and will be fully prepared to move
on the 19th instant.
One hundred and ten Tory members of Congress,
says the Albany Journal, voted a censure upon Gen.
Taylor, for bis merciful capitulation at Monterey.
This insult was intended to so depreciate hia fitness
for the chief command, that the people would sanc
tion the appointment of Benton as Lieut. General
The effect of it, how. ver, was very different from
what was intended. The vote designed to disgrace
the old soldier, will fasten infamy upon its authors.
By insulting and endeavoring to supersede him,
says the Albany Journal, the administration hoped
Gen. Taylor would resign ; and by withdrawing all
bis regular troops, they hoped he would retreat. But
he would neither resign nor retreat. If he had done
either, he would have been disgraced. Doing noi*
ther, he will be President. The fowlers are destined
to be caught in their own snares.
We noticed, savs the Steubenville, Ohio, Herald
of Saturday last, a poor servant girl about sixteen
years of age passing up Market street yesterday,
bare footed and miserably clad?not sufficiently so
to protect her person from the 'pittiless peltings' of
the storm, being doubtless parentloss and friendless,
without mental improvement?a slave, she is oom
polled to toil on in the drudgery of some opulent in
dividual, without an equivalent. We have thought
it but illy beaomes us to talk of 'Southern Slavery,'
for there is a slavery here?a slavery of rank?of in

?Here; too, as with you,, the restless tide of
General Taylor's popularity is oveiflowing
every thing. 1 know him personally and es
teem him highly, and with him for our candi
date we shall sweep the tory scoundrels off
the political board forever.
To the Editor of the National Whig.
Kih ! I am much obliged to you for the compli
ment. you are pleased to give in your paragraph re
Iming to me, published 011 Monday last; but I beg
you to correct ihe statement which y> u make, that I
have received the appointment of Postmaster in N.
Orleans. I have not received that appointment;
have not applied for it; and have not entertained any
intention to apply for it.
Respectfully. your obedient servant,
WM. (JARKY JONES.
Washington, May 5, 1847.
(?/? Speaking of the gigantic prospect of builJing
? canal act- ss Tehuantepec, the New York Courier
says: ' But what excites our special wonder, is, that
an administration and a party which can find no
warrant in the Constitution of the United States for
making a canal round the Falls of St. Mary for in
stance, can aee no constitutional difficulty in under
taking buch an imperial work in a far distant land aa
! any ship canal between the two oceans must be."
Quoting the endorsement of the Tehuantepec
project by the Union, the New York Courier say. :
"Here are no misgivings a/to constitutional power,
no limit of strict construction; and the very press
that applauds Presidential Veu>s on river and harbor
bills within our own acknowledged limits, can see no
evils, nor wrong, nor violation of strict construction,
in the great and magnificent project, which, it says,
with so much seeming satisfaction,'is receiving care
ful consideration at the hands of the administra
tion.'"
Otf- All the Tories of this State in the House
of Representatives, Boyd, Martin, and Tib
baits voted for the resolution ot censure upon
Gen. Taylor. Tibbatts has received a commis
sion from Mr. Polk and is about to join the
! army in Mexico. We hope, says the Louis
ville Journal, his c.ueer will be more glorious
than that of the old veteran whom he deems
worthy of censure.
Ocj-The Uniontown Democrat in some good
remarks on advertising says, in reply to busi
ness men of the old school who denounce ad
yertising as a humbug, that "it is better to be
a humbug than a bug that can't hum at all."
{jej- A Democrat of Monroe, La., writing to
the Charleston Mercury, s\ys, that he cannot
stand the intolerance of Ritchie the great whip
pet-in ol the Tory party and his masters anv
longer. He is not alone in his refusal to sub
mil to the old man's Hectoring*. Ecce Virgin
ia Elections !
OCj-Like master like man, is an old but a true
saying. Polk forgot to mention in his lastmesj
sage that one Zachary Taylor stormed and car
ried Monterey under circumstances of illus
trious mercy. Com. Perry likewise forgot to
state that Lieut. Hunter captured Alvarado
and Commodore Stockton in his recent des
patches entirely forgot even to allude to Gen.
Kearney or his soldiers in the battles of Cali
fornia!
Some of the federal whig papers, indulge in
the habit of applying the term " tory" to the
democrats. This application comes with a
peculiarly good, grace from the organs of a
party'which has enrolled among its members
all the lineal descendants of the tones of the
revolutionary, and the blue light federalists of
the late war l?JYorrislown Register.
The above comes with a peculiarly bad
grace, says the U. S. Gazette, from a paper
which is sustained by federalists?that advo
cates the old federalists of 1812?that sticks lo
Mr. Buchanan, who never had "a drop of
democratic blood in his veins."
The excuse that Sanla Anna could hftve re
turned to Mexico without Mr. Polk's admis
sion, would, if admitted, says the Albany Eve
ning Journal, justify almost any act of treason
or outrage. Arnold might have said that if
he had not accepted tfoe price proffered for the
betrayal of his country, some one else would;
and as an act of treason was inevitable, he
might as well be the traitor as another! But
neither Arnold nor Judas was vile enough to
add to their infamy by so pitiful an' excuse.
iTlie latter but wrougt out an inevitable result.
Nevertheless it would have been 'beller for him
that he had never been born.' 'It must ueeds
be that offences come, but wo unto him by
whom they come.' To seriously urge it
would be to add ridicule lo infamy.
