HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
A LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR.
A valued friend, says the Isat New Orleans Bulle
tin, and who is also a distinguished citizen of this
State, has forwarded the following communication,
which, at the present moment, will, no doubt, be
perused with general interest.
The letter from General Taylor, is written with
the same modesly and delicacy of feeling, which
have so eminently characterised every thing we
have seen from hia pen.
It ia sufficient, we hope, to 6et at rest all the doubts
as to hia acceptance of the nomination for the Presi
dency, which have been expressed by those in whom
Mthe wish was father to the thought."
West Baton Rouge, La.,
May 15th, 1847.
Wk. L. Hodok, Esq.:
Dear Sir: I send you, annexed, an extract of a
letter, which I have recently received from General
Taylor; and as it shadows forth the feelings and
views of the General, on the subject of the next Pre
pidency, in a manner which can do no violence to
the feelings of any one, I have determined to have
publiahed that portion of it, which relates to a sub
ject, in which his name has been very generally as
sociated throughout the country for some time past.
I do ao, with the more readiuess, because it is emi
nently calculated to give proper insight into the real
character of this eminent man. Please let it have
a place in your columns.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully.
EXTRACT.
uIn regard to the Presidency, I will not
say that I would not serve, if the good people
of the country were t-o require me to do so,
however much it is opposed to my wishes, for
lam free to say, that. I have no aspirations
for the situation. My greatest, perhaps on
ly wish, has been to bring, or aid in bringing,
this war to a speedy and. honorable close. It
has ever been, and still is, my anxious wish,
that some one of the. most experienced, tal
ented, and virtuous statesmen of the
country, should be chosen, to that high
place at the next election. I am satisfied
that, if our friends will do their duty, such
a citizen may be. elected.
" I must, however, be allowed to say, that
I have not the vanity to consider myself qua
lified for so high and responsible a station,
and whilst, we have far more eminent and
deserving names before the country, I should'
prefer to stand aside, if one of them could
be raised to the first office in the gift of a
free people.
"/ gofor the country, the whole country?
and it is my ardent and sincere wish, to see
the individual placed at the head of the na
tion, who, by a strict observance of the Con
stitution (be he whom he may) can make us
most prosperous at home, as well as most re
spected abroad
OO-We are indebted to Messrs. Brooke, Sliil
lington &. Co., for a copy of Graham's Life of
Taylor. This spirited production is illustrated
with wood cuts. Out thanks are also returned
to these go-ahead gentlemen lor three excellent
caricatures,?Scott's taking a hasty plate of
soup and Santa Ana on the wing, A set-to be
tween Polk and Webster about the origin of
the war, And Polk's attempt to crush Taylor
by appointing Scott to supercede him. They
are rich.
One of the very best Weekly papers we re
ceive is the BalUton Spa, N. Y. Journal, edi
ted by J. Oakley Noyne. It abounds in choice
selections and is edited with good judgment
and great spirit.
The public interest absolutely requires a
speedy enlargement of the Erie canal in New
York, say the Albany papers. The amount
of produce is so great that half of it cannot be
got through, without long delays and heavy
freights?all which fall on the consumer.
It turns out that Com. De Kay has been the
block in the way of the Macedonian's not get
ting freight in New York for Ireland. He is a
man in whom people have no confidence. He
has had in his life, ample time to learn this
fact, and it is a wonder that he did not disco
ver his unpopularity. But we are the last to
know ourselves.
0U- Gen. Dromgoole is said to have left his
whole estate?very large?to the children of
Dugger whom he killed in a duel.
CO-The stock of the Richmond and Ohio
Rail Road is being slowly but surely taken up
in Virginia.
Six miles of the posts of the New Or
leans and Mobile line of Telegraph are already i
?P. ?
Jalapa contains ten thousand inhabitants.
Mr. N. P. Tun?the celebrated?arrived
at Vera Cruz yesterday, says the Eagle of the
I lib inst., with despatches lor Gen. Scott and
Commodore Perry. The Commodore came up
to day, and held long conversations with Mr.
T. evidently very confidential, ami often m a
tone of voice and with a manner which indi
cated communications and sentiments of no
ordinary importance. Mr. Trist is the govern
ment in Mexico, lie goes with the train to
morrow to meet Gen. Scott, and will doubtless
give him ample instructions for the eflectual
prosecution of the war !
'They (the Bemocrats) claim to bo a Party
principle, and ?.ll support no man for the Lb ef
Magistracy falsa upon, or berating m regard to,
the fundamental principles
What are their principles 1 The possession of
p >wer, the division of the spoils of office, and a
squandering away of the people's money. No won
der these Tories, who impudently call themselves
Democrats, will go for no man who will not be true
to their fundamental principles.
Let the veil be withdrawn.?Tory Union.
Aye, it will be drawn, and that too, by the
brave hand of John Minor Bolts. So put your
house in order, Mr. Polk. Your deeds will all
be brought light.
If the W bigs had not idled and maliciously
wasted away the last session "' Congress
tliey had passed the len regiment bill when it
was submitted to them?the Mexican
mighl have beeu closed W
The Democrats had a majority of seventy
in the last House of Representatives, and 7 in
the last Senate, and yet this brasen-faced organ
of the New England Tory Office Holders has
the hardihood to charge the Whigs with the
delay in the passage of the Ten Regiment
Bill!
The Tory Union says that Mr. Polk coped
successfully with English Diplomacy on the
Oregon question. Aye, aye?by planting him
self on 54 40, and then backing out to 49 !
Qrj- And still they come. The Raleigh, N.
C. Star has unfurled the Tavlor flag to the
breeze, and says it will keep it there till Decem
ber 1848. Huzza for old Zach ! Nine cheers
for the "Subaltern of Buena Vista," "The
Thunderer of the Battle Fields of Mexico! !"
Quite an excitemcnt, says the Vera Cruz
Eagle of the llth inst., is droduced amongst
the unacclimated this morning, by reports of
the appearancc of (he vomito. Two deaths
have occurred during the night, and both are
attribuled to that dread disease. One victim
was a French lady, and the other Mr. Smith,
the sutler of the Pennsylvania regiment. Both
were in full health two days ago.
Gen. 8cotts proclamation to the Mexicans of the
llth instant shall receivo our attention to-morrow.
It is a manifesto of our government, and shadows
forth our future policy with regard to the conquered
enemy.
The Zicatecana will not hoar of peace with the
United States. _____
The government, it appears, has ceased all direct
communication with General Taylor, and conveys
all its orders to him through General Scott!
- The notorious Isaac Hill has sold out. His paper
goes over to the ranks of the old Tories.
Mr. Grund in his letter to this day's Baltimore
j?un says, thst the terms of peace which Mr. 1 rist
will offer are kas onerous than those which were
offered after the battle of Monterey. A few more
battles, then, and Mr. Polk will give the Mexicans
all they ask!
Qcj-The Virginia Free Press wishes to know
whether any of the Polks have gone to ihe
wars? Not one. It is not in the nature of
the family. Theii field of glory is in fine, rich,
fat offices! The have to much of old Zeke's
blood in them to relish the battle field.
OCJ-The Notlh Carolina volunteers have been
decimaled by disease on the banks of the Rio
Grande.
An explosion of the fire damp occurred near
Pottsville, Pa., on the 25th inst. in the collieries
of Messrs. Rogers, Sinnickson & Co. by which
Frances Kinley was severely, perhaps fatally
burned, and Daniel and Peter McMenemy very
severely injured. Considerable damage was
done to the gangway, cars, rail road, &,c.
Gen. Scott has written to the Mexicans to aban
don the guerrilla warfare, and make peace like 'good
boys.'
The Mexican Congress has refused by s vote of
44 to 33 to even consider the proposition of inter
vention offered by Great Britain between Mexico
and the United States.
O^-Poor General Cushing! While walking
with a lady in Matamoras, a few days ago, he
fell and broke his left leg! The gallant Gene
ral's fate is a lamentable one, tor he has fallen
pierced, not by the enemy's lances, but by her
glances!!
fc*-Old Madison counlv, Kentucky, always
famous for her love of what is honest and true,
presents an undivided front for the "Subaltern
of Buena Vista," as they style Gen. Taylor.
There is not a vote in the country that will not
be thrown (or him?Whigs, Democrats, Polko
crats, Tories, Natives, all, all !!
CO-Captain Blanchard of Louisiana has de
clined the commission of Captain in the Volii
giers, which the President offered him. The
gallant captain is not to be caught with chaff,
while such a man as Cushing is made a Brig.
General.
j. TO THE EDITOK OF THE UNION.
The Union Caricaturing the Catholic*
of Mexico.
The Unum, a few weeks back, in a leading
article on Mexico, travelled so far out of its
proper sphere, as to call the Catholici of that
country, "Priest-Ridden." We are none of
those who believe that the abuse of auy sect
of Christians, is promotive of either morals or
charily among men, and hence our objection to
the offensive character of tlie article in thegov?
ernment organ alluded to. We fear that much
ignorance obtains in this country about tbe peo
ple of Mexico, and that both their physical and
religious qualifications are much underrated, if
not absolutely misrepresented by designing men
now in the pay of Mr. Polk, for objects un
worthy a great nation like ours. But the able
Protestant correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
Public Ledger in Mexico, writing from Jalapa,
throws some light on this subject, which mav
seem to dispel the darkness that the Union like
too many others of the same school, labors un
der.
"As I informed you in my last, the citizens
of Jalapa are intelligent, well-plad, handsome,
and orderly, and superior to any Mexicans I
have yet seen. If they, or indeed, any of the
Mexicans are "priest ridden" (the words of the
Union) their burdens are the lightest, and with
al, are carried with the most grace and cheer
fulness of any yet imposed upon mankind by
the church. The truth is, the priest and the
Church have their place ; both are respected,
but neither blindly followed; and I am. more
and better satisfied at every stage of our ad
vance, that few of the popular notions of our
people in relation to this country and its inhab
itants are correct. The pretended tourists of
Mexico have madesad blunders in almost every
particular of their descriptions, and their errors
convince me that they have never been here."
L.
QC^-An officer who sailed up a river on the
coast of Guinea, furnishes the following pic
ture of the face of that horrible country: "We
are thirty miles distant from the sea, in a coun
try altogether uncultivated, overflowed with
water?surrounded with thick impenetrable
woods, and over-run with slime. The air so
vitiated, noisome, and thick, that our torches
and candles burnt dim, and seemed ready to
be extinguished j and even tbe human voice
lost its uatural tone."
Ccj-Fifty-five soldiers died of disease, chiefly
diarrhoea, in the month of April at Vera Cruz.
0C?-The Zacatecas Journals give the list of
killed and wounded at Buena Vista. They
exceed five thousand. What terrible work our
little band had to do to save itself!
The Union is very severe on Mr. Grund,
the Washington correspondent of the Phila.
Ledger and Baltimore Sun. It calls him an
"ignorant, unprincipled writer," and says that
his letters revealing the designs of the Admin
istration are "atrociously false"?are "speci
mens of partizan calumny in its most rank and
shameless form." For our part we must differ
with the Union about Mr. Grund. W^e regard
him a) a very learned writer, and his epistles
as the true mirror of the designs of the Ad
ministration !
The good people of Montgomery, Indiana,
met in Convention on the 15th inst., and nom
inated Gen. Taylor with three cheers for the
Presidency. Stop that ball, father Ritchie!
The Maryland State Temperance Conven
tion will meet at Baltimore, next Wednesday.
We hope our Whig friends in Maryland will
not suffer the question of Temperance to affect
their votes in the approaching Congressional
election, for we see it is the avowed purpose of
the Temperance men to raise it.
The ship S- E. Howell sailed from Baltimore
yesterday with 160 soldiers for Vera Cruz.
The sand-bar in the Chicago Harbor has been
apppropriately named "Mount Polk."
{K?~Louisiana?God bless her?continues to
send relief to starving Ireland. Natchitoches
remitted $GOO, and the free negroes of that town
$03!
From present appearances, it would seem
probable that Mr. Polk wishes to shut up old
Zach in garrisson duty at Monterey. He is
not, we presume, to visit the Mexican capital.
Very well. The people will give him a pass
next year from the scene of his exile, with fa
cilities to visit the capital of the United States.
Near 1000 troops left New Orleans on the
30th for Vera Cruz.
Graves are but the foot prints of the angels
of eternal life.
Black silk sacks are quite the rage with the
ladies of Philadelphia city. The fashion, no
doubt is borrowed from the East, where the
Turks have the credit of puttiug their ladies
into sacks for any, every, and no offence at all.
Mr. Green," sa:d a tolerably dressed female
the other day, entering a grocery in which
were several customers, "have you any fresh
corned pork."
"Yes, ma'am."
"How much is this sugar a pound ?"
"One shilling, ma'am."
Let me have," she continued, lowering her
voice, "hall a pint of gin, and charge it as su
gar on the book!"
God has made no one absolute. The rich

The world is a magnificent building; all the

A suicide of a married man in Philadelphia,
on the 26th, and of a tingle lady in N York.
The Editor of the Hickman Ky. Standard
must be a great wag. A few weeks since he
made the fallowing grave announcement in
his paper, which was copitrd every where hy
the press and commented on with great feel*
ing.
"A young Lady, whose name we have pot
been able to aajaptain, came into our dwelling
two days ago and has since remained with our
family. She has not spoken a word since her
I arrival, but she weeps almost incessantly."
Six weeks after publishing thi above, our J
waggish brother relieves public anxiety by this
admission:
"We have since found j>ut her name, and
can guess pretty well^where she came from."
Miss Lucy Hannah is a bouncing girl, and
I when she gets a little older will call \is father.
! A little girl of Philadelphia died on Monday
evening from over exertion in 'jumping rope.'
It seems there was a trial of skill going on with
the party as to who could jump the longest
without resting. The deceased flushed with
a desire to excel, took the rope and sprang
lightly over it for some minutes, and though
her companions begged her to stop, continued
on until she sank to the ground and expired.
Mothers ought not to allow their children to
indulge in this sport to excess.

The Anti-Renters, with the New York Tri

upon the subject is better than going to break
each other's head.
j A man fell* in one of the streets ol New
York a day or two since, under a stroke of apo

than 15 minutes. This is worth trying, for it
is recorded as a fact.
