Truth and Eloquence.
- As much diversity of opinion prevails in regard
to the political opinions of Gen. Taylor, some of the'
Federal papers of the south have made a proposi
tion io our Derimemtic friends to unite with them iu
support of him, 'as ti common caudidaie fur the Pre
sidency, without distinction of party. •
The Nashville iLoion'; a sterling democratic print
takes up the subject, and discourses 6 the following
spirited strain : -
" The- Whigs sometimes say to us, " we are wit
ling to take up Gen. Taylor without, yegard to hi,:
principles: now, why cannot you deittortats do the
Same?'' We answer: "You %kings leave nothing
on earth' to lose. Your old principles are all swept.
away. You dare hot COW' before the: people of
;Tentiesscc the itdvocates of tariff, bank or distribu
tio. Havir ' , no principles, you may safely pro
mise to go for any man. But we have principle.,
which have been established after having fought
you for them for many . years, and we cannot. risk
their loss. The game is not equal, when we risk
everything and you nothing." We will, have no
thing to do with the Whigs as a party. We will en.;
ter into no alliances with them. We have whipped
them on every issue they have submitted to the
people, and we eau keep them whipped on those is
sues. If they ehocise to renounce their errors, and
come over to .oursirle. we will receive them into
our party, when they show proper evidences of re
pentance. But this coming into the party by the
lack door, stealing onr men and our principles, and
pompously claimitig them as their own—we can't
stand this. Before putting on our livery, they must
acknowledge themselves sorry for having worn that
of. the bank and protective tarilE
In these reinarks, we have expressed our own
individual feelings only. Many democrats may
differ from us. But believing, as we do, that the
matter will finally be satisfactorily settled—that the
candidate of the democracy at the nextPresitieutial
election will get the , votes of all those who now call
themselves democrats, and of half those who now
call themselves whigs-4any . difiremnees of opini
which we may now enteiiain must not be permit
ted -at this crisis to disturb. the harmony of the de
mocratic party."
Our nelations with Merle*.
A communication appears in the Democratic Re
view for June, on the subject of our relations with
the Mexican nation, in which the writer seems to
speak "as Ole having authority," in regard to the
plan our government intend to pursue in the pm_
miss*. It sets oat with an averment that the infor
mation it contains in reference to the intentions of
the administration, comes from a mince at the ca
pital, which entitles it to great confidence. The'
important part is contained in the following, Ftra
graphs •
" We believeiri the first place, that the, rulininis
-Itration is willing to.rnake to Mexico every possible
concession in point of form, and to allow the defeat
ed party in the war to prescribe its own rule of di
plomatic etiquette in settling the preliminaries of
peace. It has for this purpose, clothed Gen.l: 4 4.'ott,
the commainrer-in-chtef of the .American',lrmY.
with power to treat with the authorities he may find
itt,Mexico and sent Mr. Trist . the second, officer in
the State Department down to aid and instruct him
in carrying nut the views of the President. Ntiv,
should the Mei:inane desire or consider it a specihl
mark of attention,- Mr. Buchanan, the distitk=ished‘
Secretary of State, will himself go down and ne,„..ri
tiate in the cite of the Aztecs.
As to the cession of territory demanded of the
Mexkans, the administration will not claim it as a
forfeit, but offer to pay for it, so as to acquire it by
purchase. We *ant a clear title of it, and the ad.
ministration corbiders purchase the very best of all
The expense 'Odle rar we would not claim from
the Alexicans: and the which she owes
our citizens, will lv , assumed by the zovernment of
the United States. We shall then claim no money
fmnt Aleijco in any shape, and :ire-wining to accept
land in payinent of our just demands. • •
As to the territory to be ceded or sold to ai by
Mexico,are are of opinion that° it will comprise .
more than Upper California ,afixl New Mexico. and
that our government will not inri.-; as a condition
of peace, on the right of way across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec : -but rather make this a subject for
~,FuEstequent friendly negotiations between the two
sister republics.
The carry hieof these measures may requite

The last Bnulford Argus has a column or more
devoted to the Nlexican cause, by reiterating the

ists groan bitterly if a word is - uttered against any
'off:4:er m the army, who is of their party, they are
incessantly busy in traducing, and villifyiag every

thong:la breathed, that the otailitary conduct of- a
devil favorite was not Chi fly the Thing—teat a ca
pitulation was not duly weighed or carefully consi
dered, and they are ready to pour out denunciations
and slaughter upon nny one who dares to question
the immaculate purity and perfection of all that a
federal officer may do. But when a - democratic offi

the chamelion. They are ready to pervert his ae

Federalists desire a change, for no. other -met son than from the-belief that any change will do them'

OWD ettanipg, and so involved by their political
treachery. that they eagerly covet any change in
the hope that it will open an avenue. for thercoo
escape from the corner into which they are driven.
But if we understand the character o'ithepeople
of Peunsylvania, they will not suffer their interests
and happpness to be bandied about by politicians.
in order that such a man may get into power. and
this clever fellow, and that broken nabtib, and that

aiding professed and confirmed politicians in car
rying out their schemes of selfishess and ensile
eon. SUch valuable citizens have certain fixed
political principles which they, faithfully support.
and when the time arrives for them to vote, they
discharge this important duty with care and discre
tion. The Federalists may < strive, but their efforts
will be fruitless to seduce tjae ..people from their at-.
lachments to Gov. Shenk.. They are hi favor of
republican principles, and 'they have presented for
their sutfrazes one, who. as the Executive. -of the
State, has :sternly adhered to them and measured
his political course by there. Under his adminis;
j tration. the evil consequences of an mdiritited bank
ing sy stem have been averted by his unwavering
firmness and. democracy. lie was assailed on ev
ery side by the friends of privileged corporations,
and bills, whose real (lesion and object were con
, coated. were repeatedly presented for his ratifica
tion : but he resisted the Influence of the former
and. promptly vetoed the. latter. In acting thus,
Gov. Shank rout - inner& enmity of these men
who were disappointed, but tightened the bond of
affection cone ung him and the people. Bitter
and deep, lasing to and even beyond the grave.
were the animosities which Gen. Jackson created
when he. demolished the roiled States Bank ; but,
for one enemy, he gained ten real friends among
the people ; and when he died, you could read the
history of his life in the faces of the living menta
-1 meats that attended his funeral in every city in the
I Union.
Under his administration, that reproach of reprt
diation has been wiped away, and the credit of the
.State has been restored. I - thee...lading/the eelum
nies on our honesty which were east upon its'from
abroad. we have reinstated the old and established
reputation of Pennsylvania,• brought our debt to its
pa r value by the punctual payment of the semi
annual interest, And afforded the most amplq assn
ranee of the continued stability and solvency of our
Treasury.
Under this aillninistration the. State has risen to
a high degree of prosperity, when a temporary hes.
itation in our manufacturing operations might have
been anticipated in consequence of the mmlifica
non of the tariff Our farmers command the high
est prices for their grain : iron and coal merchants
are reaping satisfactory Profit's ; the laborer is ade
quately paid : and every industrious man is re
ceiving the reward of his work. This happy con-.
dition cif ailiiirs existS under a Democratic admin
istration tlrat has rigidly carried out Democratic,
principles and measure, against which the Fede-'
ml party have continued to protest, and to.the en
tire falsification of their prophecies Of ruin. The
Federalists predicted ruin. and the wish wag father
to the thought when they portrayed the deiti i station
which was to follow the success of Democratic
measures. Where is the ruin they predicted ? Is
it io the groaning rich) and theseady barn ? Is it
in the roaring iron furnaces—the populated coal
miner—the noisf machine shops and our crowded
highways and seaports ? All that pretended de--
premtion of ruin was a scarecrow. They sent mes
sengers,to every factory to kriow how many hands
had been dischar g ed for the purpose of anticipating
and furring difficulties and' emixwriumments. In
spite of all their oflorts, they failed, as they always
will. " Fail" is stamped on their foreheads, and
the next election will be a political Buena Vista.
The Federalists have been forced from every po

The most important intelkence brought by this

The train left Vera Cruz on the night of the 4th

twenty-five miles, it was attack - rd by a large party.,
of guerillas. The place was well selected for the
purpose by the Mexicans, being represented as a
defile, broad enough for a single waaon only. It
is said. too, that slight works had been thrown .up
by the Mexicans, to obstruet our advance. -
The attack was made upon each extremity of the
train, and upon the centre at the same time ; the
principal point, how4ver, being the wagons, which
were supposed to edotwin the , speoie.

every Democrat in the Senate voting, against this
tax, and Henry!Clay, the "embodiment,". and nine
other tederalistS voting for it—lnnother fact:that dare
not be denied.
When tku bill was under consideration, - Jai. R.
Chandler, 1i;54.1,, -the accredited mouth-peace of
Federalism, sat d, ill speaking of the Tax, on Tea,
Coffee, Sce.,
"We are aware that, by castom, tliAße articles,
once tsuperiluitics, have become sontething like
necessaries ollife, although it is probable that a
new direction of taste o:mating will hereafter
reduce those articles nearer to their former stan
dard."
The Balihnote American, another month-piece of
Federalism, in, speaking of the 'l'aritl Bill said
The prhtective features of Fhe law appears to
he stmndennuLth. It would Mice been. better for
r •venue if a didy had bee' laid on TEA and Cof
fee.-
Thus t it will be seen that' TARaTram; Tea and
Coffee :has always been • ono of the leading and
fivorite measures of federal. whi.ngery—but now,
when i: has been barely suggested to lay a tempo
rary duty as on these articles for WAR PURI'OF.I.
the Feendists sucnot like so many vipers, and
dettou ce the measure as one of the most vile acts
to phut er tl - people,' :that could well euter .the
e
mind o an—althouti their eundihate for the
i c ,itti
Presidency urged the tax, inJime of mace, as one
indispensably necessary. i • •
The tlikvuAnn which has taken place on this
question will, however, do more to disabuse public
opinion on 14e subject of the Tariff than any thing
that has-come up sinew 1840. .It .has compelled
the.lederalists to admit that a TARIFF is a TAX.
This is where We have teen wanting to get them
roe! - a long time. Whilst the Federalists now. look
Mimi the 'Cara on Tea. and Coffee, for war poi
pots, as an awful outrage, they go iu neck and
heels forhee the Tariff of 1842 which puts. a heavy
Tariff (TAX) upon almost every itilek consumed
by the FARMER. MECHANIC, and WORKING
MAN, whilst gold Jewelry, rich laces, and eletrant
wines and carpets, used by the rich, are suffered to
come into the country almost free of. tax: We
have got Cooney just where xte want him, and on
this issue we are ready to meet him ou the stamp,
in the paper and at the ballot-box. i
The Democrats are now, ever have been. and
ever will be opposed to putting a Tariff on tea am!
coffee—mul they are oppose} to taxing the work
ing man to' keep up a rich leafing aristocracy,
hence their deadly hostility to the laxing features
contained in the Tariff of 18-12 on the usual neces
