Situational tUljig FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1847. VOl PRJUIOBjlT, IN 1: aoao, MAJOR GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR. OF LOUISIANA, sum isiaiB? OF PALO ALTO, RESACA DE LA PALMA, MONTEREY, And Baena Yista. Subjwt to the decuion of the W hig National Convention. OUR COURSE. , Th* National Whig, a paper published at Waah ?Oftoa, far the expreaa purpoae of advocating the K^'k* *er*' 'VK u<1 which bears hia name "? ?f ita column*, haa underneath it -Sub ject to the deciaioo of a Whig National Convention,' ?odiew might go on and enumerate many other*. We Motion this aa a ationg cuae, because the paper waa commenced for tho aole object, apparenUjr, ol having the General made tho Whig candidate. We clip the above paragiaph fiom thai able Whig papar, the Boston Atlas of the 8th inst, for the purpose of correcting au error into which it hat fallen. The National W hig was not established for the express purpose of advocating the claims of Geueral Taylor to the Presidency, or of having him made the Whig candidate. It was estab lished for the express purpose of speaking the majority voice of the Whig party upon aJ> great questions of public policy and of expos ing without fear or favor the corruptious of the P*?y in power. When we hoisted the Taylor flag, it was, because, from the best lights be fore us, we believed he was the choice ol a t**e majority of the Whig parly for the next1 Presidency, but in coming to this conclusion, we were bound as a good Whig to submit our judgment to the decision of the Whig party in Convention assembled, and we accordingly announced our responsibility to that body. But when we raised the Old Thunderer's ban ner, we were convinced he was the choice ol n majority of the Whigs of the Union, events in the Inst six weeks have more than sustained ? t? ?ar opinion and we sincerely believe that when the time comes for the Whig party to take party ground, it will find itself with one accord for ray lor. Was it not so with Clay in 1844? General Taylor, in our humble opi nion, has no claims on the Presidency. No man in the United.States has any. Bat the Pre sidency has claims upon Taylor, and Clay, ^'Ister, and McLean, and hundreds of other eminent Whigs. The People are the maker* of their President, not the politicians. When we began our career, we believed the Whig Peoh.b had decided in their hearts that Taylor should be the next President, and as we determined in the outset to endeavor to fol low the Whig People, we raised the Tsylor flag, subject to the decision of that people. The Atlas cannot point to a single passage in the National Whig since its commencement advo-! eating the choice of General Taylor by the people for the next Presidency on the ground of his superiority to other Whigs upon Whom the Presidency has claims. We have always treated the question as one at the dis- j position of the people, and we have only en- i deavored to show that they hare made a good J and a proper nod a noble choice. We have ?constantly sought todevelope by all the means wuhjn our tench, the character and principles ?of(General Tsylor, and we are now engaged >p publishing his Memoirs, being satisfied, that the more intimately the country will come to know him, the more intensely will it love him na n man and as ita Chief Msgistrate. From this central point we are enabled to see many things in the working- of the public mind, and especially of the Whig public mind, which our cotemporaries are excluded from ?oeing, and we can assure the Atlas, aud ail onr brethren every where, that the Whig party are moving as a unit to rally under the flag of ihe Hero of the Mexican battle fields. It is like one vast army moving forward to the scene of operations, and one voice controls it and dispo ssa it la our opinion the feelings of men are ?for the consequences of the operations of their judgments?a theory, we know, in opposition ?o the eommoo one on this point?and hence, we regard the public feeling in favor of Gen. Taylor as the mere echo of the popular judg ment, that he is eminently fitted to preside over ihia free people. And we are persuaded too, I *thnt the materials upon which the public mind *as made up that judgment in his favor are Ample, are even more than sufficient. Gen. Taylor has preseuted himself before the world in some of the grandest characters of man It does not require an age for the exhibition of ?*ese characteristics. A day may suffice to ahow them. They are the power to command, to lead mas* of human beings to victory, to inspire con Monce in those he commands, to plan and ex ?onte, to be merciful io war and to hate war, to write the history of his actions with the sim plicity and purity of truth. What mora is needed ? All other things io this life follow the possession of these rare qualities. But, as w* have already said, the People, the Whig ptople are to decide for us. We obey their voice. We believe that voice is for Taylor. We await the action of the Whig Convention to give form to that voice, and shall be guided accordingly. Mean-time, we hold that it requires no prophet to predict the result. Zoehory Taylor will be President the United States in 1849. We return our thank* to tha Philadelphia North | American, ths Piftsburg Commercial Journal, and tha Washington National Inlalligancer for inserting, according to our request, in lhair advertising columns, oui advertisement respecting tha Daily and Weekly Whig. Will tha North American and tha Journal ba ao good ae to insert tha N. B. of tha adveuue ment also 1 Tha authoritiaa an potting a mixture of oU and tar upon the elms on the avenue to aea if it will not prevent the aecent of tha insect which every year da atroye the leaves of that Uae. We fear it will do no good, because it is pretty wall understood that the eggs of (hie ruinous insect ate deposited by a wingrd insect upon the leaves, and are hatched in loco. The Baltimore Sun thinks that Mr. Polk has fair ,y earned a eummer vacation. We think he has clearly earned a vacation for the reet of his life from the Presidential office. At all evenU the people will grant it to him in 1848 whether he will or not. The June number of Robbin's Pennsylvania Law Journal is at hand. It is full of interesting natter. The index to the American Reporters is worth twics the price of the number. The New York Courier's Washington Corres pondent eaye that Upper California ia a tint qua non in our negotiations for peace. ^ qJ- Aaron V. Brown, the present Democratic Governor of Tenneeeee who is trying to be governor again?which he will not ba?admite that Mr. Polk let Santa Ana in, but excuses him by ea*et ting that it was an error of the head, not of.the heart. A* it could not be an error of the letter, seing that he ie not in the possession of a heart at all, of course it must be the head that is in fault. A Braxns correspondent at the New Orleans Bul letin is of opinion that the government will not per mit General Teylor to make any forward movement, or do any thing el*e hereafter, except to mount guard in the Rio Grande country. Zaneeville flour ie now ehipped from New Orleans to Rio de Janeiro, end bids ftir to rival the Galleg > and Haxall brands. The Tennessee volunteers on their arrive! at Nashville were received with such a fury of joy, that nobody thought of programme of precession or any thing else.

Mery Wilkes which took out 18 emigrants last winter from Now Orleans. Every thing was quiet in the colony. They were preparing to form a State and to declare their independence. The industry of the colonists has made the black soil of the African shore bloom with wholesome cereals. If the friends of negro liberty, with the Tappans at their head, had expended one-half the energy end money, they have j thrown away In their foolieh scheme* of home abol ition, in sending colored emigrants to Africa, there would now be a 8tate with half e million of inhabl tants on its coast, which would drsw millions of free negroee to it and gradually and surely extirpate sla very in this country. Rodrocksville P. O. in Pennsylvania has been changed to Monterey.

The New Orleans Bulletin tella us that the election of a District Judge in Mississippi ores recently decided by tbe excitement tha* aiose on the subject of the contested will of a de ceased person. This is transferring the deci sion upon legal cases almoat directly to tbe people and making them the real judges of the disputes between themselves. *~ C. M. Conrad, late Senator, is spoken of as tbe Whig candidate from the 2nd District in Louisisna. Messrs. Green & Co. have established a Type Foundry in New Orlenns?the first that has yet made its appearance in that city, to the great rejoicing of printers. They have just erected a splendid flouring mill in New Orlesns, in the heart of the city, and driven by steam. The Orleanors' can now have sweet flour all summer. If unsnimity at public meetings, and hun dreds of them at that, be any sign that the S.

The city authorities of Baltimore have re duced the city taxes from 70 cents to 693 cents on the hundred dollars. Small favore, fee. In spite of the war the Mexican Congreas has found lime to erect a new State out of the State* of Mexico, Paebla and Michoacan, to be called Guer rero, with Acspulco for its capital. An editor oat West thinks tbe story of Tantalus being physically thirsty, while water wee alweye flowing up to, though not reaching his lips, is sll moonshine. He supposes that that worthy was a politician?en arrant ofioe seeker, el ways wanting ?never getting office, and that after old Charon had tarried him to Hedee, he applied lor offce to the shades of the departed, and wanted to administer to thstr estates. The Old School Presbyterian Assembly re cently convened at Richmond, recommends a season of general humiliation before Almighty God, and of confession of sins and of prayer for iheir forgiveness through the merits of the ?ver blessed Saviour, and for the restoration of peace to our Republican land.
