HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
READ AND REFLECT!
Last evening our Reindeer came in puffing and
blowing, and looking a* iaugliing as though peace
had really been conquered, and on examination of
the uews brought, it appcara that it has been coin
quered all to the heel!
The steamer J. L. Day left Vera Cruz on the l'Jlh
inst, and arrived at New Orleans on lite 21st inst.
The Captain says that information had been received
at Vera Crux, that Gen. Scott and Worth with the
main body of the army had advanced as far as Rio
Frio without opposition, and there met by a deputa
tion the City of Mexico with propositions of peace,
which Ueueral Scott instantly refused to accept, and
that lion. Scott had announced his determination to
inarch upon the capital without delay. The Capt.
of the Day likewise says, that it was believed that
the Gjvernineut of Mexico would agree to auy
peace which Scott might dictate rather than let him
occupy the capital. This is all the say so of the
Captain of the Day. There is no oliier evidence of
the truth of the statement. We are of opinion that
it will turn out like the late rumor of a deputation
having waited upon Scott at Jalapa.
The Day, however, brought more probable intelli
gence ill the fuel that tho Governor of Tampico was
daily in expectation of an attack by 1,500 in the vi
cinity. Oil the night of tho 12th inst., there was
an insurrectionary movement within the town, but
it was promptly put down. On the 10th inst., our
pickets were driven in, and on the 16 h a party of
nnchcros at tucked the pilot station. Tho barque
Mary landed two huudrcd volunteers at Tampico on
the 16th inst.
SKETCHES FOR THE PUBLIC.
No. X.
Wamiinuton, June 27, 1H47.
As it i? pretty certain that the popular branch ol
tlio next Congress will l>e Whig, many speculations
are entered into as to whi will be the officers of the
House.
It is generally conceded that the Speaker will be
eit'iei Mr. VinWui, of Ohio, Mr. Winthrop, of Mas
..achosoliK, or Mr. Thompson of Indiana; all throe
good wings and trim !
'I'he next office, in importance, is that of Clerk
Who will get it? Shall it be given, by a Whig
majority, to a capable, meritorious, ami deaciving
Wing, or to a capable Locofoco, like Mr. French, the
present ificumbciit ?
II is understood that Mr. French counts upoucer
tain succcss piovi 'ed the Whig inajjrity shall not
be over leu vo'es! Sundry Whigs arc absolutely
named as certain to vote lor him! Can this calcu
lation be well-loiuidodl Is there a Whig elected to
the next House of Representatives, or who cxpects
to lie elected, who would vote for B. B. French's re
election as Clerk, and thus be willing to dash to the
ground the very lirst fruits of a Whig triumph??
Tho idea is not lor a moment to bo entertained !?
Mr. French has been a Locofoco Clerk iu the House,
subordinate and chief, some twelve or fourteen years
?placed there as, and for being a Locofoco, and a*
a Locofoco there retained. Ho was retained as
Principal Cleik by a Whig House, through an un
fortunate spat in the ranks of tho Whig member*
and a cortain well-remeinbered coalition which was
entered into with tho Locofoco member# on tho oc
casion ! Shull anything of the kind hapi?oii ,Jor be
permuted a sccond time ? Nous verrons ! If there
is any advantage in having a Whig House then it is
necessary and proper that the Clerk who stands in
such confidential relation to the body, should be a
Whig also!
Mr. French's talents end good business habits, as
a clerk, are freely a lmitted ; but there are Whigs to
be found who would fi.l the station in every respect
as well as Mr. French, and whose claims upon it, in
the event of the House buing Whig, would be far
superior to his. This every one must admit. How
then cau Mr. French find good ground for the calcu
lation thatsomo, or even one, of tho Whig members
will vote for him ? He may entertain tho idea that
the game played iu rogard to tho Clerkship of the
Houso for tho 27th Congress will be repeated so that
ultimately some of tho Whig members, through di
visions in their own ranks, will bo induced to give
him their support! But if he does entertain this
idea, he is doomed to bo disappointed. The Whig
monibers, if they have tho majority, will meet to
gether and make a s lection of a suitable and a capa
ble man for clerk?and that man, when selcctod, they
will uuauiin u*ly support! Mark the declaiation !
The mumber wtio will not do thin is no Whig !
STRAIGHT-OUTS.
The coming Presidential election bids fair to
be distinguished l?y the utter disorganization
and breaking up of the Democratic party. On
every hand we hear and read of whoio cohorts
of straight outs making their way from under
their old Democratic banners over to the great
Whig army of the Union. The flag ol Z\ch
aryTatlor, having been hoisted by the Whigs,
has been the signal for this general breaking up.
According to all appearances, it has scarcely
begun. General Taylor will not be permitted
to win the great battle of 1848 by a meagre
majority, but he "Will be lifted into the Presi
dency by the almost unanimous vole of every
State in the Union.
But the most remarkable desertion from the
Democratic ranks, so far, is that of Mr. Rice,
who is the Taylor candidate for (Jougrcss in
Alabama, against Bowdrn, the regular Polk
nominee.
flThis patriotic individual does not content
htiusell with deserting his old colors, by say
ing, that it is his supreme pleasure to do so,
which he has the right to declare, but be bas
published lus reasons for his course. The?e
reasons we reprint, for the information of the
thousands of straight outs who aio even duw
ready to boll, and who have already bolted.
They cannot be refuted. To these reasons the
intelligence of all Democrats who love the
Constitution more than President Polk and his
loaves and fishes, will readily add the late Ex
I eculive Mexican tariff, which alone is sufficient
to drive every honest Democrat in the country
to the support of General Taylor, aud for ma*
king which we hope Mr. Polk will be punish
ed in the mode prescribed by that very Consti
tution which he has so flagrantly broken. But
here are Mr. Rice's reasons for marching
straight out from the old Democracy :
1st. Getting our country into war with Mex
ico, when it was as easy to avoid a war wilh
Mexico about Texas, as it was to avoid a war
wilh Great Britain about Oregon. Failing to
use the same prudence to avoid war with Mex
ico, as was used to avoid the war wilh Great
Britain. The President's consulting the Senate,
before taking atiy decisive step towards Great
Britaiu, aud taking decisive steps towards Mex
ico without consulting either branch of Congress.
2. The attempt to tax coffee and lea, ou the
miserable and unfounded pretext that it was
necessary to carry on or support ihe war! ?
(l'he speech of Andrew Johuson, a strong
Democrat in llie last Congress, Irom Ten nets
see, exposes fully the injustice of such a lax.
aud shows that Jackson, Van Buren, Polk,
aud divers oihcrs, taught him to oppuse such a
tax, and also shows that many millions can be
raised by taxing the wealth and luxuries of the
country, without touching such necessaries as
coflee and tea. He also slates a position which
1 fully approve, in these words : ?? He urns for
giving the 1'rcsident money aiul men; he was for
taxing the wudth of the country to defray the ex
penses <>j the war?the common man hud Iq do
thejigliting, aud the rich ought to pay J\/r it.")
it. The failure lo reduce the price of public
lands, when ihe Democratic parly had the Pre
sident and majorities in both Houses of Con
gress. Uniting ihe proposed reduction of the
public lauds, in the same bill with the odious
tax^pn coffee and tea; and thus losing the re
duction oi the lauds by pressing the coffee and
tea lax willi it.
4. The attempt to make Thomas H. Benton
Licuteuaut General, and to give him command
ol all our forces in the field ; thus placing a
me.re politician in command ol our gallani and
experienced generals, ofiicers and soldiers,
when Gen. Taylor was gaining every baltle,
and adding unsurpassed lusire lo the fame of
his country.
5. The passage of what is commonly called
ihe Ten Regimeut Hill?by which ihe freemen
ol this country who may go in those regiments
are deprived of selecting ihcir officers, and have
to go under ofiicers selected by the Prosideut.
This monarchical, kingly, and anti republican
bill, was opposed by several leading Democrats
in the two Houses of Congress. And amongst
others, il was strongly opposed by ex President
Sam. Houston, ol Texas, distinguished for his
military ability as well as his stern republican
ism. He offered au amendment, providing,
among other things, that the ten regiments
should consist of volunteers, instead of r?
craiis, or regulars, and giving the volunteers
ihe right lo choose their company and fieJd
ofiicers. A similar amendment was offered in
boih Houses of Congress, aud voied down.
6. The encumbering the resolutions of thanks
to General Taylor aud his ariny with an unne
cessary and improper amendment, the effect
ol a part of which was lo insinuate that he
had nol done his whole duty at Monterey.
7. The refusal of the House ol' Representa
tives to pass a resolution calling on the Presi
dent lor proper informalion concerning Sauta
Anna's returu to Mexico, without any distur
bance Irom our uavy. Why did a majority of
the House refuse to call on the President, to
let the people know all about the matter of
Santa Anna's return 1
