The improvement of the Harbors and Rivers must
be a party question, cry the Harbor and river Polk
bm. Nonsense! The Whigs are all for this po
licy, and all that remains for those of the opposite
party who are for it, ?s, to help in making a Whig
President and a Whig Congress, and all things will
then go to their mind.
J. R. Ingersoll, M. C? is out in a strong letter

sincerity.

meeting and gave his reasons for leaving hi* old

GENERAL TAYLOR'S WHIGGERY.
The Boston Atlas and Hut National Whig again.
The Alias desires the National Whig to
being forward the evidence that General Tay
lor is a Whig.
The Atlas knows, as well as we do, the
legal rule in the production of evidence?that
no one man can speak for another, even if that
one man knows what that other man knows;
but, as we presume, the Alias intended to ask
us for the names of the witnesses, by whom it
could he proved, that Gen. Taylor is a Whig,
we shall cheerfully accede to its request.
And, first of all, we biing on the stand the
Hero of Buena Vista himself. His letter to
Colonel William Taylor, of Point Coupee, in
Louisiana, and recently published in the New
Orleans Bulletin, contains the highest possible
evideuce of the General's being a Whig '? io
the back-bone." Colonel Taylor is, and always
has been a Whig; and when the old Hero
speaks, in that admirable letter, of the certain
ty of " our friends" being able to achieve a
victory in the next Presidential electiou, ii
will be easily seen that he means our Whig
friends. Bui, in addition to what we have heie
stated, we submit to I he Boston Atlas whether,
from what it knows of the character of Col.
Hodge, the editor of the New Orleans Bulletin,
it can for a moment suppose lhat Col. Hodge,
one of the most uncompromising Whigs in
the country, would endorse that letter of Gen.
Taylor, if he did not know him to be a Whig?
But, the time has not yet come for General
Taylor to speak out his political sentiments.
He is no seeker after the Presidency : it is the
Presidency that is seeking after him, to fill it,
when the preseut unworthy incumbent shall
vacate it. That Qeneial Taylor will tell the
American People his political sentiments, with
all ihe frankness for which his character is so
remarkable, we know ; and we therefore hand
in his name as a witness, upon the voir dire,
to the Atlas, and through the Atlas to the
Whigs of the north. His credibility, at lea*t,
is unimpeached and unimpeachable. We will
uke thus much upop ourselves to say in ad
vance : tli?t the testimony will satisfy the most
fastidious Whig, and will command the votes
of every Whig in the country, and of hundreds
of thousands ol Democrats too, who only de
sire an opportunity to break loose from their
old party associations, to unite with the Whigs.
But it is not lo the published writings alone
of General Taylor, to which we point as con
taiffi/fg ample evidence of his Whiggery. It
is to his m'mtd ye R/oyld direct the attention
of the Atlas, for proof of The old Hero's obe
dience and reverence of the Constitution and
laws, which is the corner-stone of all Whig
gery. His whole course through life, and
especially in the Mexican war, shows him to
be a true Whig. As the Atlas and its readers
8re family wiifi Jjjs pWb|jc acts, we wiH not
stop to detail them, except to say (hat we be
lieve it in the beautiful harmony subsisting
between his writings and his public acts, which
has won the love and admiration of the whole
country.
We nf?n refer the Atlas to Mr. Clay, Mr.
Crittenden, Mr. John M, Clayton, Mr. More
.head, Mr. Crozier, Mr. Jos. R. Chandler, Mr.
George D. Prentice, Mr. Thurlow Weed, Col,
James Watson. Webb, General Clinch, Mr.
Jyslice John McLean, and Col. Baker. We
have selected these najfles out of thousands of
others, who are ready to testify to the Old
Th'uulerer's Whiggery ; nay, who have been,
an^ are now, testifying with loud voice that
he is a Whig, in heart and soul. Does the
Atlas fjeliepe l|)af fftpse distinguished Whigs
would, for a jpomeni, permif top possibility of
an inference that they countenanced, even by
silence, the elevation of a man to the Presi
dency who was not sound to the core in
his political principles ? But many of these
witnesses have already spoken out, and spo
kpp boldly, top, iif testimony of General
Taylor?s Whiggory, while others fyave seen
their jbest and most intimate ffiends take decid
ed ground in favor of the General's elevation
IP the Presidency as a Whig, and no opposing
voice has been heard, no doubt has even been
raised by them. It never could be, in the na<
ture of things, that so many pre-eminent men,
so many public presses, so many thousands ot
Whig voters, could be thrown so far forward
in the support of a man of opposite principles
to them. Some warning voice would have
been heard. Qup Clay, if pa one else, would
have indicated through his friends the truth in
the premises?had not Taylor been of the true
faith. Even the Atlas itself is impressed by
all these considerations and facts that he is a
Whig, occupies the Clay ground on all
public questions?but it wapts moje proof, and
calls on us to produce it. As we have already
said, we cannot speak for Gen. Taylor, though
we know him to be a Whig, and we consider it
a singular circumstance that the Atlas does not
kmv tlfis fftct tpo. Surely ihe evidences were
quite as accessible to the Atlas as to the Na
tional Whig. They a|re and ever have been
accessible to every Whig in the country. We
could tell the Atlas where these evidences are,
but that would be assuming that the Atlas was
not a Whig journal in the confidence of the
party?a position which would be doing injus
tice and wrong to that leading paper. We take
it that, if it really is in quest of information
upon the subject under discussion, it has been,
and is, from neglect of availing itself of pass
ing events in the Whig parly, rather than from
inability to get at their knowledge.
But be these things as they may, we have
given the Atlas the names of the witnesses iu
this case more to gratify the reasonable reqnest
of (hat paper, than with a view to enlighten its
intelligent editor and readers,?we have slated
what we know 10 be ihe 'fact?and we now
leave this part ol the subject, being well as
sured that when the principal witness shall be
called on to speak, his evidence will triumphs
antly vindicate him and the Whig people, who
have in advance proclaimed their determina
tion to make him President.
We shall in our next, essay to answer the
Allan' question as to General Taylor's position
upon the acquisition of Mexican Territory and
the connexion therewith of the institution of
slavery, and in our answer thereto, we shall
strive to speak what we believe to be the opin
ion of a large majority of the Whig party.
Oc>-l lie New Orleans National very justly
says if a man wants to kill himself off with
the sovereign people, let him abuse Zachary
Taylor, and he will be just as certain to 9iub,
as if he were a pig ot lead thrown into the
bosom of a pellucid lake.
The W higs ol Monroe co., Mo., have re
solved, that, as Mr. Polk did not think General
Taylor worthy ot having his name in any part
of the message of 1846, the name of Zachary
Taylor shall appear ai the bottom of the mes
sage of 1849. Amen.
The Ohio Statesmen published in Columbus
and edited by Sam. Medary, Mr. Polk's man
in Ohio, renews the proposition to rob the
Mexican churches, and recommends that it be
forthwith executed ! J!
IQ3! be Pittsburg Iron manufactories, last year,
worked up two and a half millions worth of raw ma

(O* The Democrat* have called a meeting in the
Park, at New V ork, on Saturday, to nominate old
Zack for the Presidency. They intend to invite
Mr. Polk to be present, aa he will be in New York
on I hat day! Do stop that hall, Mr. Ritchie.
(?j* Patrick Daly, an frishratjn, was last week
refused lodgings jn Albany, New York, for feijr that
he had the ship fever. He was allowed to seek a

?E]r* The President left Baltimore at half-past G
yesterday morning, fbr Philadelphia. He parted
with his wife at the Depot. She went waotwaid in
the Cumberland train.
0C5" The President arrived in Philadelphia all
safe aud sound yesterday in due course of " mail,"
and took lodgings with Vice President Dallas. He
is to leave for New York to-morrow morning.
Army Buii-^We saw on Saturday, saysjho
New Orleans Bulletin of the 17th instant, in
the possession of oue party, $16.1,000 of bills
drawn ,*t, Monterey, by the Quartermaster of
General Taylor's array, on the Quartermaster
at this place. The party who brought these
billB to this aity is an English agent, who paid
for them in specie, for the pressing wants of
General Taylor'a army; and, on presenting
them here, he learns that no funds have been
provided to meet them, and the only settlement
he can obtaifi is in qew bilja on the North,
payable after the 1st of July ? The amount of
these drafts was required for immediate remit
tance to England, and every business man can
readily imagine how great might be the incon
venience, or how fatal the consecjueuces, to a
mercantile house, i^ having even a much less
sum than this large amount withheld, or re
tained on Its way, even under ordinary circum
stances, in commercial affairs.
The Indianium at Buena Vista.?Surgeon
Chamberlain, in a recent letter to the editor of
the Sunday News, relates the following inci
dent, as illustrative of the power and influence
of General Taylor over the troops under his
command. During the retreat of the Indiani
ans, General Taylor, riding up to the rear of
the retiring regiment, thus addressed them :
"Men, soldiers, fellow countrymen: I fought
for you and our country before you were born.
I fought for you when you were boys. 1 have
fought for you since you were men. Now, I
want you to light a little while for me. Will
you do it f"
"Huzza for old Zack! Turn out! To the
death lor old Zack!" was shouted by more than
two hundred of the gallant fellows, (for such
they subsequently proved themselves,) who
immediately rallied under an officer, and fought
bravely during the rest of the engagement.0
