WHIG* NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND,
WILLIAM T. GOLDSBOROUGH,
Or DOKCHBSTER COUMTT.
The sound American doctrine on this subject is,
thiit each American nation should determine the
form of its own government for itself. In this view,
the resolution of the admirtietration not to obstruct
? the return of Santa Ana to Mexico w*s well judged.
Washington Union, June 24.
Pray, in this view, would not the non-intcrfer
ence of the President in the government of Paredes
by permitting Panta Ana to return to overthrow it,
have been monconsistent with this sound American
doctrine, and even better judged t

. He (the President) comee forward, of his own
accord, to strip his virit of all objects and all perso
nnel a?pirationn.? Washington Union, June 33.
It is well he docs, but this self-divesting process
is nothing to the public skinning which he will re
ceive in his vifcit to Tennessee in 1849, or which
may be in reserve for him by a forced march, per
haps, next winter to Columbai.
' We hold the Presidency, in the hands of a con
scientious man, to be the least enviable post in the
'?world, and that no honots can compensate for the
careq and responsibilities.
[Washington Union, June 23.
Well, if Mr. Polk be the cpnscientious man you
*sy he is, and if no honors can compensate for tho
cares and responsibilities of the Presidency, let him
' prove the sincerity of your declarations by resigning
" that troublesome office. Our word for it, it will be
the first act of his life about which there will be no
dispute. ) Every man, woman, and child in the
country will rejoice at it.
"Had I postponed (my visit) beyond the present
summer, it is not probable that any olher convenient
-opportunity to make it would have occurred during
the period of my term of official service, at the close
of which I shall retire to private life. And I hope,
' ?ir, to retire, leaving the administration of my coun -
try [the Executive office?] in the hands of a [more]
?worthy successor; and that country which has hon
ored me so much, I truM to commit to [to leave in
the bands of ?] that successor prosperous and happy."

OEJVERJIL TAYLOR
?AND OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. '
The Boston Atlas and the National Whig oncc
more.
We remember, that ihe ablest articles which
appeared in the conteBtof 1844 against lugging
into the canvass for President, our Foreign
Relations and the questions that might arise
in their course, were published in the Boston
Atlas. If we had a copy of the Atlas by us,
we should certainly draw upon lhat fountain for
sound arguments against Party Conventions set
ting up (his or that foreign question as a party
lest. The course of the Baltimore Convention
in makiuy Texas and Oregon a party watch
word, was indignantly denounced by the Alia*.
We came near being plunged into a war with
Great Britain by the action of that Convention,
and it can l?? proved that we are now waging
war with Mexico in consequence of the deter-1
mination of the Democratic party leaders then
declaring that the boundary of Texas extended
up to the Rio Grande, and that Mr. Polk ought
lo be elected because he agreed vyith the Con
vention in that mailer. We now inquire of
the Alias whether it intends to abandon the
wise ground occupied by it in 1844 and rush
into \he very error now which it properly de
nounced then ? Does it intend to force a ques
tron of foreign relations into the Presidential
arena in 1848? Does it purpose to take from
the proper authority the treaty-making power,
and to vote for no man for President who will
not in advance pledge himself to make no
treaty with the public enemy except upon such
and such principles ? Is it Whig doctrine, is
it Whig practice to invade the constituted de
partments of the Government, snatch their
power from them, and, by carrying questions,
which belong to them by the Constitution,
before the People at the ballot box, lie up the
hands of the delegates who may be selected to
administer the Government ? We rather think
that this is Democratic doctrine, Democratic
practice. We are sure, that il is only neces
sary to present the sutjecl in its true light lo
the Atlas to convince it, that the position taken
by it is a wrong one.
Suppose we go into the next canvass upon
Mr. Berrien's Resolution to receive no Mexi
can Territory under any circumstances and
elect our President upon thai question. Sup
pose?what is quite a supposable case -and
which we fear will be precipitated upon the
country by Mr. Poik, before lie leaves hi$ pres
ent position?that our President comes into
power and finds our foreign relations so com
plicated by his predecessor, thai it will become
necessary, absolutely necessary for the Senate
to advise the President to make a treaty with
Mexico for the acquisition of territory, or that
it will become necessary for the President to
make such a treaty to avoid a worse evil.?
What would be the position of the President in
such an event ? The very possibility of such
a state of things should be avoided?is the dic
tate of wisdom. The evil of dragging our
foreign relations into parly politics is already
seen in the actions of President Polk. Il would
be felt quite as seriously in the case supposed.
It is one of the grand doctrines of the Whig
party, lhat each department of the Govern
ment should be left free lo act under the Con
stitution, so as to meet emergencies. Can
there be a question, which requires more per
fect freedom in the President, in the Senate,
and in the House of Representatives, than this
Mexican question? None, that we can ima
gine. What may have been wisdom when
Mr.-Berrien offered his resolution, may be fol
ly in 1849. The history of our Indian rela
lions is perfectly illustrative of our Mexican
relations. The Indian policy of the United
Slates has ever been against the sentiments of
the American people, and yet we went on and
are now going on reducing them, driving them
westward, taking their lands under pretended
treaties, wronging them whenever necessity
demanded and often when there was no neces
sity, 8tc. &.c. What would have been the po
sition of our Executive in this matter it the
non acquisition oflndian Territory had elected
our President ?
We know that Gen. Taylor, upon the abstract
question of acquiring foreign Territory, in the
present status of the Union, occupies the
ground held by Mr. Clay in his Raleigh Let
ter, but as we said, yesterday, we are not per
mitted to speak for General Taylor on this or
any other point, as his witness. He is and
he will be his own witness. Our knowledge
of the fact is sufficient to influence our own
course in relation lo him upon this subject,
and we have no doubt that the Atlas will find
that he is right upon this abstract question long
before he coines to. speak his sentiments for
mally upon it. ?'
But the Atlas wishes to know whether if he
is in favor of acquiring any of the Territory
of Mexico, lie is for or against planting the
institution of slavery upon it ? And Jiere again
we must leave General Taylor to speak for
himself. It is not good that is ever tolerated,
but it is'evil.' When the fjord of Life came
into the world he tolerated coil of all kinds
The enil of slavery in Judea he permitted,
tolerated. There'are'pryiciples of human con
duct which he then taught, that are all sUffi
cient, in due'course of rime, to extirpate the
evil' of human elavery. Till that ?ra comes
about,"we must tolerate slavery. Our forefa
ther* were placed precisely this position.
They found slavery in the 'original States.
They tolerated it. In its presence they, con
summated our ipteMmt Jflbrious Union, made
our ever glorious Constitution. That Union
has been preserved, that.Constitution has been
I " the branch of our vine," for more ih.o half
a century?and all in the presence oI the evil
ol human slavery. We have risen from a
small family to a mighty nation of twenty
millions of people in the presence of this ter
nble evil, gtyall it be said, nay, is it possible,
that the present generation is not capable of
j perpetuating the liberties transmitted to it, be
cause the evil of slavery continues to exist iq
?he Republic? Shall it be said, that we are
incapable of managing the question of acquir
mg/ree territory from the public enemy, be
cause part of it borders upon the slave States?
frhall the evil of slavery, when it is at the pre
sent time far lees in every respect than it was
i ty years ago, now sunder our glorious Union,
upon the question, whether it shall be planted
"? lerr,tory (hat is already inhabited by ? free
people, if any of that territory should be ac
quired ? Is the wisdom of our ancestors ail
buned with them in their glares ? God for
bid ! Indeed, what in the beginning of this
Presidential war appeared to us a huge cloud
overshadowing the whole heaves, has gradu
a ly disappeared as the name and fame and
glory of Zachary Taylor have risen. At one
lime, we began to fear, because there was no
one voice, which could say ? The Union shall
But now- ?" " l?Pe -gain.
I he Whig people with one accord are rallying
abound a chief whose whole life, whose whole
character are a pledge that he will make a con
stitutional President. The Democracy too are
bursting the bands of ancient associations, and
flocking to his standard.
He will make a President who will not sit
himself above the Constitution but beneath it.
He will be governed in his administration of
the laws and the execution of the Constitution
by their "paragraphs"?not by his own will.
Such a President the country wants in the cri
sis which awaits it in 1849, and such a one it
will get, as sure as the sun shines, for God has
not deserted us in our need.
If the Mexican qhestion be not settled till
general Taylor is the man of all others
to preside over us/and guide the helm of State.
Lveiy Whig in the country would have confi
dence 10 Henry Clay, if he were Pres.dent
w ieo the territorial and slave questions should
come up. Henry Clay has confidence iii Gen.
Taylor in such a crisis, unbounded confidence
in him. What more do the Whigs of the
North want ? If they want more, let them
j watt till Taylor himself shall speak, but they
will not wait till then. The rushing multitudes
are bearing the good oldhian to the Presidency
on uplifted shoulders, and the Whigs of the
North, are too much Americans not to unite
heart and hand in the elevation of so pure a
patriot, so sound a Whig.

ONE DAY LATER FROM MEXICO.
BY OCR REINDEER EXPRESS.
Nothing very important.
We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 9th,
and from Brazos to the 13th iustant.
The train under Col. Mcintosh was attacked
by 1,800 Mexicans, 23 miles from Vera Cru^.
The assailants were quickly dispersed, but
they rallied again, aud got a large number of
pack mules in the second attack. After a
severe conflict, the Colonel entrenched himself
behind his wagons, and despatched a courier
to Vera Cruz for reinforcements. On the 7th
instant General Cadwallader marched to his
assistance, with full 700 men. Nothing further
from the scene of action. The Mexicans were
led by a Spanish priest. Dr. Harney, the
brother of the Colonel, received a wound in
the action, and it is believed that some thirty
of our men were killed and wounded.
The horse thieves among the Mexicans were
so bold as to cariy on their depredations even
up to the walls of Vera Cruz.
The garrison of Vera Cruz was reduced to
forty men on the 7th instant.
The vomito continued its ravages.
A Spanish paper ii? published in Vera Cruz, j
which calls on the Mexicans to make the in
vaders feel the strength of their arm, and the
spirit of vengeance. Why does Col. Wilson
allow this, in a place where everything is
under martial law I
The measles have broken out among our
troops at the Brazos. General Taylor's new
levies are gradually moving forward to head
quarters.
And this is all that our Reindeer Sunny
brought us this time. We think Sunny could
have spared himself the labor. However, he
deserves credit for his desire to astonish the
natives.
