The fate.uf Mr; King was ninsi heart-rendering.
He was, says Mr. Taplin, a man in the sprin grime
of life, of cultivated mind, and of the most engaging
manners. He had been married but two weeks pre
vious to his departure on the expedition, and was
only a short time with the company ere he had
gained thefriendship and esteem of every member.
When Fremontts party had first lost their horses, a
company of four men, of which King had been ap
pointed leader, were despatched to the se dements
to procure succor. Sixteen days after thifir depar

Williams, Breekenridge and wither, scarcely able

them no choice, and it was done in sell-p otection;

consequently in Congress. Should the elections yet to

soil ingin, or ,independents. Bnt should we not be as
successful in the states yet to elect as we predict, and as
the results in Connecticut and Virginia warrant us in
claiming. for all useful purposes the Administration is in
a minority still. The free-soil men catineverbe brought
to vote with the whigs on an administration measure.
Their contempt for the President and his cabinet, is
equal if not greater than that of the Democrats. What
then has whigery gained
.by the election of Zachara
Taylor? Nothing.! absolutely nothing! There is not
~st nip:mire they can pass—no te law now in existence
llliev can touch. 'Nay howled incessantly about the
t ' •
I iniquity of the TarliT of kIG, and they aro now in power
nt the White House. but the tariff must remain as it is!
Thu independent Treasury they have denounced for
years, and when they came into power eight years ago
on the hard-cider tide, repealed-It as aon as Congress
could be convened in extra session. But now this men
sere must remain, a constant witness of the wisdon of
the Democratic party. The distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands among the states has formed the ma
terial, in times past, for constant appeals to the pockets
and cupidity of the people, but thiS, too, will find no
more fitver with Cougrese under the administration of
Gen. Tudor than that of his Democratic predecessor,
James K. Polk. Isi'short, there is not a whig measure—
not one of tao cardinal principles for which that party
has so long contended, that can he adopted
° under this
administration! What then has whigery gained in the
election of Gen. Taylor? What have they accomplish
de by 'itheir cunningly devised and stupendious swindle
of no -part is n i? Nothing, save and except the loves
and the fillies appertaining to the Presidential office. '
And this they enjoy with the fact staking them con
stantly in the face that it is obtained at 'the expetnie of
broken pledges on the part (tithe man they have elected.
Will this repay the hissed of the party for all the toil
mid money spent in the election lost fall? Will this re
pay those who 'honestlyebelieve that a protectiv'e tariff
is lice°. a iry to the welfureof i the country—that a nation
al Bank i. absolutely reqiiisite to regulito the currency
—and that the distribution oijite proceeds of the public
lands is culled for by justice and sound policy? We think
not. What care they whether „John Smith or John
Jones holds the petty office of village-:post-master: Very
little we la', e . it. What care those wings - who .were
neatly opposed to the elevation of a military chieftain.
but who consented to cast their votes for Gen. Taylor,
because they were told it would secure the enactment
of the measures they deem of such vita: importance,
whether Goy Johnson or Senator Cooper has the most
influence tit Washington? Very little! As essential as
they deem such measures however, they can note rest
assured that they aro lost, end they have no one to-thank
hitt these same whiz leaders for it. We thank them for
it must heartily. As soon us the Demiicratic camp-had
been captured, they fell to quarrelling, about the spoils,
while the routed D.tmocracy, ever watchful for thd knc
cess and perpetuity of their measures. commenced In
thrit cvlu.une, and propetv o M another struggle.
The result can be soon in Connecticut, and Virginia,
and a wing administration, era it is in power six months
will be in a hopeless minority. What then have the
whirs gained? A few petty offices, and they at the ex
pense of proken pledges!
