WHIG NOMINATION

WILLIAM T. GOLDSBOROUGH,
Or UO?CHC8TEE COUHTT.
Mr. William J. Stsples of N. Y. hu received the
appointment of Consul to Havre, in place of Mr.
Bsabi.*, deceased.
Col. Rutherford, of Arkansas, formerly of Tenn.,
baa wceived the appointment of Choctaw Agent, in
p|?M of Major William Armatrong deceased.
Here are Locofoco appointments, notwithstanding i
the stupendous declaration of Mr. Polk on his recent
tour to the North, that he ia the President of the
People and not of a pert; ! We are requested to |
eay that Major Arnold Harrie, spoken of in our last
in connection with the Choctaw Agency, waa not an
applicant for the office, and could not have accepted
it if Mr. Polk bad tendered it to him.
COL. DONIPHAN'S SPEECH. j
We subjoin the following extract from the j
epeech of Colonel Doniphan, at St. Louis, on
the occasion of the public receptiou of him and
bis brave comrades. It is matter to he ponder
ed on. The country may well ask of the Pre
sident?why are these things 1
" Fellow citizens I What have we gained by
this war 1 Of Gen. Taylor I can safely speak, j
having been thiough all his lines of operation.
Me has gained four distinguished victories?
perhaps the roost brilliant victories that hare
ever been gained on this continent?and yet j
he has gained nothing. Wby is it that the i
efforts of our army are like the efforts of a |
fevered patient, who spends all his strength in
spasms, and as soon as they are over, is pros
trated? Alter the brilliant victories which they
have achieved, they have been forced, for want
of men, ammunition, money and conveyances,
to lie idle until the enemy have been able to
gain strength anew, and then the battles have
lo be fought over again. In our victories, uo
thing hae been gained. Suppose Gen. lay lor
remains where be is?will be have gained
anything ? He has been there ever since last
September; and unless souie belter means are
afforded hirt, he will remain theie until nest
October I The expense ol this war is enormous.
1 have been told that $1,000,000 a week has
been paid to sustain the war, and yet General
>a 'h? very position where he was
eight months ago, and there he must lie.
"AlthotVgh I have not been over General
Scott's line of operatious, yet it is clear that
he cannot sustain himself from his want of
means. He may take the city of Mexico, but
he cannot sustain himself then?take it he may,
but it is impossible for him to keep it. For
Santa Auaa, although he was stoned when he
went to the city of Mexico, from some cause
has gained new strength, (some have thought
that it arose from Gen. Scott's proclamation,)
and he will soon have an army auflicient to
cope with General Scott."
One of the returned volunteors says, the modus
operandi of testing u bairel cf Government crackers
in Mexico, was in Ihia wise : The captain threw a
crackor upon the aand in the evening aud ordered
his men to surround it?K it did not make its way
before morning it was pronounced genuine.
The Locofocos claim for their measures the
high pricM which havo been given for produce. One
of their measures therefore must be the potato rot,
a* nothing has resulted more to advance the price of
breadstuff*.
Governor Bebb of Ohio refuaes to be a can

move, decidedly.
(rj. Mr. Polk, eaye Prcutice, in his speech in N.
York city, aaid, "the people are the true sovereigns
of the country." And yet Mr. Polk, who, in his
modesty, professes to regard himeelf as the servant
of them "sovereigns," undertakes to prohibit the
said "sovereigns" from exercising the liberty of
speech upon the subject of his official acts.
?13- Mr. Polk said in his New York speech that
he was determined to "knew ne party but the coun
try." During the lato session of Congrsss, aays
Prentice, thia President, who "knows no party but
Ma country," pot forward the vile* of his partisan*
in the House of Represent ativea to Jnaist on his
right to have the army commanded by a political
General of the Locofoco party.

UQh The Washington Union publishes a let
ter from Cincinnati acknowledging that Gen.
Taylor is not the author of the Signal letter
which beaia his name. Tne Union's corres
pondent says that it is in the handwriting of
Major Bliss. Thus is one of our arguments
fully sustained, that the letter iu question could j
not be from the pen of the old Hero, owing to
the utter dissimilarity of style between it and
his acknowledged productions.
The Washington Union's Cincinnati corre
spondent asserts that the Signal Taylor letter
bears General Taylor's signature, "and no
mistake j" that on a comparison of it with bis
signature in the possession of the artist Mr.
Atwood, its genuineness is proved. We await
further developments I
Th? Whigs of Missouri have decided to
bold a State Convention on the first Monday in
April, 1848, at Boonville, to nominate Col. Doni
phan as their candidate for Governor, and to select
Rough and Ready Electors for the next Presiden
tial Election. This looks like going to work in
earnest. Rough and Ready Electors.' Think of
that, Mr. Polk !

The Administration has different names Aw its
various armies. One of them it calls ita ? army of
occupation," another its "army of invasion," and a
third its "army of exploration." Its army of office

"army of depredation." |

Ocy-Mr. Grund, of the Baltimore Sun, pre
diets that General Scott spent the 4th of July
in the city of Mexico. We hope he did.
OO-Mr. Grund informs us, in to day's Balti
more Sun, that the President did not wait for
people to shake him by the hands on his recent
tour, but (hat he seized them by the hands and
gave them a hearty shake. This accounts for
Mr. President's great enthusiasm during his
recent visit ?
Mr. Polk says, in all 'his speeches, that he
must positively refuse a second term. We as
sure him, says Prentice, there is no danger of
his being troubled with the people's importu

being elected iu 1848 as General Pillow has?
and there is certainly a pretty wide " ditch"
between him and the Presidency.

" Wo would just state," says the Harrisonburg,
Va., Republican, one of tbe be4 Whig papers in the
8tate, "that Gen. Taylor's rtal friends are aware of
what they are about, and ask no dictation from his

parties who can consistently support him, so to do,
and to thus let the Pol kites know that they scorn

TO THE PUBLC
THE subscriber having learned than an attempt
is being made to injure the reputation of his
MINERAL WATER by the circulation of a spu
rious article purporting to be his, he is therefore un
der the ncceesity of publishing the following certifi.
cates, and respectfully calls the attention of the Fa
cu'ty and Public to the subjeet.
A. FAVIER,
Manufacturer of all hinds of Mineral Wafers,
Wa?iiinoton, June 19,1847.
Sm : In conjunction with several other members
of the Medical profession I gavo you, mrmo years '
since, a certificate of the good Quality of your
Mineral Water. With {a commendable jealousy of I
your own works, lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect, you have
Hguin applied to me for an analysis of several speri
mens of Mineral Water, purporting to have been
made after riillereut methods or by different persons,
Ike particulars of which were not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color of the bottks.
I have examined the several specimens submitted, I
and find as follows: The water in the while gla*8
Miles is freo from all impurities; that in the green
boti let* contains a sensible quantity of sulphuric acid,
which >? evident to the smell and taste, as well as to
the proper chemical tests. From & recent inspec
tion of your process, I was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access I
to the water were lead and sulphuric ac!d. Of lead
f find no traces whatever in any of the bo tiles; tbe
amount of sulphuric acid present in tho green bottles, |
though small, is objectionable, and must l?e regarded
as au impurity, as the Mineral Water profess to be
free from all such admixtures. I therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot
tles sent to me was pure, and in my opinion saluta
ry, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for a common beverage.
CHARLES G. PAGE,
Professor of Chemistry, National Mtibial College.
Mr. A. Favmo.
Washington1, June 24, 1847.
Sin : Upon testing the water left with me by you,
wbicb was in the some kind of bottles mentioned by
L>r. Page, I have only confirmed the result of the
analysis made by that gentleman.
THOMAS P. JONES,
Mr. A. 1'ivm. Prof, of Chemistry.
Washington, Juno 19, 1817.
This ih to certify that the water analyzed by l)r.
Page, fiom tbe white bottles, was made by Mr. Fa
vier's apparatus, at his establishment, and that in
the green bottles ceuw from another establishment,
where it was manufactured.
