Taylor for violating hii solemn pledges, by.saylng that Jcffer soh| the apostle of Domocraoy,.waa guilty oY a sim* ilar piece of rascality, If.even this assertion could bo supported by proof, it would furnish no excuse for Gen. Taylor—.it is an old saying that two wrongs cannot make & right. But, we deny that Jefferson, previous to hjs election' .tar the Presidency, ever do* dared himself a “ no party man,” or that ho had “no friends to reward and no enemies to punish.” Ho teas a parly man—the leader of the great Democrat ic party. Jefferson, in common with the Democrat ic party, of that day, opposed many of the leading measures of Adams* administration, and after his election ho. effected the repeal of;many ; . of the most odious measures.of the previous Federal dynasty. And yet the Herald has the face to compare General Taylor to Jefferson !- A most unfortunate compari son. It is no comparison at all. Jefferson was on active politician—Gen. Taylor never even voted in his life—so ho said—and previous to.iheelceticn, ho assured us that he knew nothing of the great qqesr tiona of the country—that in case of his elevation to (be Presidency, he would be the “ President of the people, and not of a parly.” All his professions of no-partyism wore gammon, and before the people he stands convicted of falsehood. ' The Federalists had better acknowledge at once that the professions they made before the election were for the'purpose of ceiving the people, and that they’ were all false. In the language of the Louisville Democrat : “ Let the Tayloriles come out now and confess that when they made these professions they lied or were mistaken; that the. Democrats wero right in the policy the Whigs denounced; (hat the Whigs aro now only following a good example; that (hoy will never say any more about proscription for opinions* sake; and let them ask pardon for what they have said.— Lot them do this, add they have full permission to go ahead and Hit every office with a Whig. Let us have no more mouthing and disgusting bypberisy on the subject.** SCANDAIj BEARERS. Among other duties of all good citizens, is that of pointing out and, correcting, if possible, the evils which have a tendency to corrupt tho*moruls of the people, or to interrupt the harmony and welfare of society. Among the most prominent of these in tho present day, is that of slander— and wo are nut a little surprised that it has boon allowed so long to pass unnoticed by the press. It is an evil of great j magnitude. Murder and homicide are punished witii i death and Imprisonment, while slander is licensed for j special damages. | The obligations of government towards tho citi zen, consists in the protection of his life, limb, pro* : petty, and reputation: Ho who deprives another of tho three former, suffers death .or imprisonment, while hoi who blackens (he reputation of his neigh bor, and renders him an object of scorn and contempt among his follow men, is permitted to escape with a small tax upon his purse, or perhaps entirely free.— Since, then, (he law Is week in its protection of rep utation, it becomes every worthy member of society to aid in subduing (hb evil whioh unjustly affects it One of the greatest blessings of life is that of enjoy: ing the respect and confidence of our fellow beings. Social intercourse is a cherished privilege, and to be drprived of it unjustly, is quite as severe as being robbed of property. Our «ara have been repeatedly assailed with the! envenomed arrows of scandal, and bar senses disgus ted with the depravity which marks the slanderer; Restrained by no sense lnsinuates him self Into the.;company of others, and seises an occa. sion to attack bis victim when resistance is impossible. It is the worst kind of meanness,and instead of being encouraged, or even tolerated, it should be repudiated hy every member of society, and tho seandalizcr pul to shame. We have even seen those wiio are “beau tiful and fair” addicted la this practice, seeming to lake delight la communicating cor\ftd*ntially lo every one, soino idle story, which operates to tho disparage, raent of others. Who can but look upon tho slanderer with dread and disgust, as something loathsome and dangerous ? Gen* Taylor against Duelling* The Federal papers of this and other northern Stales, have been very loud In u cracking up” Gen. Toy lor, because of hi# refusal to ro*appoint the two Midshipmen who hod been engaged in fighting a duel. The Federalists assured us that Gen. Taylor would “ have no duelling men about him," and ult that. These papers forget to 101 l their readers, how. over, that George W. Crawford, Ef-q., Ocn.Tuy tor’s Secretary of War, is a professed duellist, and that he killed William Burnsides, Esq., representative of Columbia county, In the Georgia General Assembly, in a duel. Explanatory* The New Hampshire Patriot ventures the fol lowing as the why or wherefore” of ihe numer ous removals from office in tit is Stale, It is undoubtedly the only reason in ihe posession of the advisers of the knan who has “«o enemies Jo punish dispensing with the services of so many |of our democratic postmasters, notorious as they are for their **honesty, capacity,.and fidelity:” Numerous postmasters in Pensylvanla have been removed, and it appears from lellerwrilers 1 that a “ pretty general sweep ” is to be made I there. Tills is very probable. No Stale furnish led more gallant soldiers to fiuhl (heir contry’s battles In the war which made' Taylor President, I almost all of whom were Democrats.

When 1 take a retrospect of tho conduct of the whig party before the election, 1 am induced to osh myself, how can honest men belong to it 7 Soon aftir Mr. Polk was inaugurated Presi dent, a man in (his section failed in business, and tho hue and cry raised among the whigs was, that "if Henry Clay had been elected President instead of Mr. Polk, tho gentleman would not have failed." Soon after this occurence another, fuller/, and the whole cause of his failure was attributed to the in efficiency of Mr. Polk. ■ Wo have a number of whig* in this section of country, who have recently failed In business, but we have not as yet heard them at tributing the cause to Gen. Taylor. .■ ' It is something very singular that thsy did not fail during Mr. Polk's administration, for truly their whole lime was nearly occupied in crying "ruin, ruin." I uin sure they promised us good limes, provided they would succeed in electing General Taylor. .Well,they did succeed,but they hove not . succeeded in giving us the good times they promised So, Mr. Editor, as it has always been the Federal rule, to cry ruin and distress during Democratic ad. ministrations, why do they not cry ruin now 7 It would just be as consistent for them to exclaim ruin now, as it was so soon after Mr. Polk's inauguration. O! consistency, thou 'art a jewel. They go for pro tection—yes, protection for protection,—they will ere tong wish that (lie question of prelection had never boon mentioned by them, as Clay did in 1841.

So powerful is this groat party at present, that if the elections for Congress in Pennsylvania and other Stales had yet to be hold,, the administration of Gen.

Our city continues to be tho theatre of excite ment and lawless violence. In consequence, of the announcement that the Government had armed five hundred French special constables, a fresh impulse was given to the already inflamed spirit' of therebels. A party of aboutSO English gentle men encountered a body of-lhese armed constables in the street, when a row ensued, in'Which sever al shots were fired by b )th sides, and two persons wounded, but not mortally. After this occurrence it was thought best, by. the government, for the sake of peacf, to disarm the constables, which was immediately done. , , A meeting was held yesterday afternoon, on the Champ de Mars, at which the Hon. George Moff at presided. Petitions were got up to the Queen, to recall Lord Elgin, and to disallow, the Rebel* lion Indemnity Bill, The hotels and garrisons are all under arms, and cannon havo born placed in the streets, to overawe and suppress any further attempts at re bellion. At 6 o'clock P. M., tho streets are all quiet, and the row fur the present is apparently qj an end. ' Rumors from (tpper Canada state (hat the in fection has extended to* Kingston,.

The elders of the Mormon church likewise received two thousand dol* J® y® and a printing establishment from this deputy high priest, Warren ; and although their votes were not counted by the authorities of lowa, they will doubtless be brought before a Whig House, of Rep. resentatives, and an effort will there bo made to. use them in depriving a Democrat of his seat in Con gross.

Allen as, Collector of the Customs or Revenue Agent in California j " Among the list of appointments which wo pub lish ibis morning, our renders Will observe that of Col R. T, Allen, lute of llid Kentucky Military Insti tute. Wo trust that Clio report may prove incorrect; but If it is true, we fear Gen. Taylor his been outra geously imposed upon. If the report concerning, sbmoof Col. Allen's rccchl transaction!) arc trim, be certainly should be the lust man appointed to a rc. sponsiblo slation ; and wo think ilbehouvcs ihu Pre sident to institute inquiries at once in regard to Col. Allen's character and standing. The questions, **ls ho-honest 7 Js hoTiithful," should bo M.iliafuciorily answered before any commission is given to any body." Tho Commonioeallh t a leading * Whigs paper In Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden's organ, thus alludes to the appointment of B. B. Meeker as one of tho Min nesota Judges. Ho is a nephew of Truman Smith: Wo do not know, and wo cannot hear, of any per son in Kentucky, who has over proposed, or even -thought of Mr. Meeker for. such nn office, lie has not the reputation as u lawyer.which might bo sup posed to bring him within the range of such nn ap pointment, and common fame docs not speak flutter, ingly of his mental or'moral qnalifio.itions Tor It.— We afty, then, we think, there has been sumo impo sition practised upon tbo Prcsidcat-aiid his Cabinet about this matter-* w No Friend* to Ueword, No Enemies to Pan* lalu* If Taylor was emphatic in any one of his many and repeated declarations, ilwas in this,-that he “ had no friends to reward or enemies to punish ;** equally so in the one that ho was not •* tho candidate of a parly," or that *• he would nbl turn out of office any one because ho was a Democrat," but that tho lost of his subordinates should be, “ fs hi honest, is he faithful, is he competent 7" We knewi and so wc warned tho people, that these were gull*lrape to catch thein, and then louse them "to the host advantage." Wc foil that It Was a fircc, a miserable pretence from end to end, —a rotten device, to deceive and de lude tho unwary and unsuspecting. - Every person is beginning to realize tho fact, to see a man, by reckless subterfuges secure power, to pervert it. Every solitary pledge or duul.inilton of tho kind above given, are as solemnly falsified as they worcVscomingly, solemnly given.. Proscription is stalking lliu land, and holding up, in exultant triumph,its hands, {coking with tho blood of Us victims; Its aflronlry almost hides tho foul hypocracy of Its author. But above all, the falsifi cation of that which was considered the lending de claration of Taylor," is ho honest, is he comp< tent, is ho faithful," involves tho worst tcrpilude. ’No, only arc officers turned out with reckless rapidity, but no nge, character, service," qualification, *'faith fulness" or*‘hionesty," can rrqnUothc furious demand. As a single instance nut of many, weeito Mr. Dium, of Oroonsburg, who was appointed by Mr. Jctfurson, in 1804, to tho Post office—held it ever since, under nil administrations—was tho father of (tic gallant Captain Drum, one of the''most accomplished and useful officers in the ormy,;wlio fell at the gates of Mexico, ol tho liuud of his artillery, mortally wound ed, ond who afterwards died—ho was removed be cause he was a .Democrat, for no oilier reason could bo assigned, and o rabid Federalist—one no doubt, too, (hut denounced (he war—now fills (ho place.— Bul tlio worst feature In all this is nut (he removals only, but tho oppoinlmohls.
