• Our object is not so much to

render service to the cause of Democracy during
the coming eMvAts.' The .Federalists are putting
forth eitrat%linary efforts to defeat the Democratic
nominees - for Governor and Canal Commissioner.
It will lie the aim of the Reporter to meet them
and give them battle-at every "pass" on the mule
they are marching—to refute their calumnies and
inconsistencies, and 16 place them in their true

General Taylor's Democrat.
. .
The Federal_organ of this county, of last week,
-makes allatlfooted acknowledgment that Gen. Tay
lor is "as gooda Democrat as there is in the land."
Of course there ends all support or countenance from
the Bradford Arens. That print is-too. deeply im
bued with the taint of Federalism to 'think of sup
porting a Deniocrat. For ourselves, we adniire the
character of Gen. Taylor, and especially the mod
e Sty, ability and good taste displayed in his official
despatches. That he is a' man of .Worth cannot .be
be doubted; and, if his political principles are such
as we hope to find them,and such as the Arius de
dares thMn be, and should he be made the Candid
ate of the Democratic party, we shall yield him our
cordial support,—taking it.for granted that, the par
ty shall first 'be satisfied titat the principled of Gen.
Taylor fully,itarmonize with the Democracy 'Of the
country, in regard to the great cardinal principles of
w
t.
ave so long and steadfastly labored to main-
The
i e subjoined' sentiments,- from the Democratic
Union, are so appropriate, in this connexion, that
we adopt them, as doctrines recognized by every
disciple of Jefferson. • .
Federal principles will continue to be 'as objec
tionable to the people, under whatever name they
may be described. The Federalists are very anx
ious to get rid of this odious appellation, and pro
fess to be exceedingly indignant when it is applied
to them, but so long as it is appropriate and they
persevere•in advocating anti-republican doctrines,
we intend to call. them by their significant party
name. '
They cannot be called " Democrats," because
that title belongs to our party, and they might as
well steal our birthright as deprive us of this cha
racteristic patty designation. They would be much
gratified to take it from us, for many Of the most
bigoted of their party believe tigkt our success is to
be accounted for by the magic 'of the word, 'and
have so contemptible an opinion of the intelligence
of the mass,' as to imagine thatthey are too igno
rant to think, and follow with blind instinct as the
hound does the tainted track.
• The night of ignorance is rapidly passing away,
and the common school system and the penny press
are distributing knowledge in the family circle OT
the humblest citizen iii this land, and every one is
able In read and understand. But Unfortunately for
the worth of Federal principles, the more enlight
ened the people become the more 'exception do
they take to-them..
They can , rearcely be called Whigs from a parity
of relation t 2 the position which the Whigs of the
Revolution' held, although they are very properly
so - designated by a figure of speech, as is some
times said " focus a /mime/aide." The people who
are now the Democrats, were then the Whigs, and
supported the cause of the colonies, and the present
Whigs are descended from the tongs of the Revo
lution. • To be satisfied of this seek the few aged
men who remain, who participated in the stirring
events of those days, and a s k th e m w h o were th e
tortes, and they will tell you that the ancestors of
such and such families, present prominent Whig
families, with of course honorable exceptions.
Men have changed their politics. There are
some Federaliits in the ranks of the Democratic
party and vice versa ; but the great body of the
NVllig party are descended, or forrneda part of the
old •Feder) party. They avoiv the 'same princi
ples and occupy the same relative position.
Federal Slander..
We took occasion, a few weeks ago, to warn our
readers that a concerted movement would be made
by the federal press in the approachhig campaign
to open the floodgates. of slander and abuse, upon
the democratic candidates for office. The game,
we see, is already commenced. The Mexican
"Argun," of Saturday; contains an article purport
ing to come' froin the Pittsburg American, which
for low, vulgar scurrility, and depraved thought and
sentiment, we think exceeds anything *5 have
seen, even from the federal press. We doubt whe
ther the Pittsburg American ever published or saw
the article. We,are inclined to believe it a gross
forgery. The American, we thought, had some
pretentsons to decency and respectability, & is pt b.
fished in the neighborhood of Gov:•Situnk's 1: 6 34'

of these houses in this city, and that it was neceS,

Merin midi Repeal. 4
Repeal, Rpeal, was to be the walchwent of the
Federal party, until the odious tariff of 18.16 should
lie demolished ; and that of 1842 restored. We hare
been waiting. anxious to see the magic words "frrin
and Repeal'' displayed on the banners, and at the
head of the papers of the federal party, but we have
looked in vain. •
Farmers, you who have been selling your whet
at Iwo dollars a bushel, your Rye and Corn at one
dollar, and a ready market at your door at that,
what say you! Are you prepared to join the Fed
enilists in denunciations against the Democratic tar
iff of 1846, and seek fey better prices and better
prospects underTthe old law, framed expressly for
British monopolis!s, If so, vote for "Irvin t Repeal."
Lumbermen, pin who, under the present tariff
law, have been realizing from twelve to thirty dol
lar a thousand for your shingles and boards, Do
you desire to be relieved from high prices and pros
perous times, and return to a tariff for the protection
of the rich, exclusively? If so, vote for "Irvin and
Repent."
All .who were duped by Federal trickery in 1844,
and afterwards made to believe that the tariff of '46
was a great monster coming to destroy our towns,
lay waste our fields and cast a withering blight and
mildew upon all the prospects and best interests of
the laborer and the husbandman,—you have now
seen its effect.. If they are such as wait predicted
by the Federalists, and you desire to change back
to the old British tariff of 1842, then vote for Irvin
and Repeal.
• TAYLOR ccusto.—A meeting of Democrats was
held at Harrisburg on Saturday, the 26th alt at
which resolutions were passed in favor of Gen. Tay
lor as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
The President's Tour.
The President left Washington on Tuesday 24th
inst. at noon, with Mrs. Polk and niece, Attomey-
General Clifford, Mr. Burke, Commissioner of pat
ents, Mr. Appleton of the Navy department, and
several other personal friends, who are to accom
pany him on his tour. He was accompanied to the
ears by the Heads of Departments and their faMi•
'lies, and by a large' concourse of citizens.
The President and suite reached the outer depot
near Baltimore, in a splendid car, fitted np espe
cially for their accommodation—in one hour and a
'half. A national salute, from the junior artillerists
of Baltimore, welcomed him to , the Monumental
City. The welcome was renewed in person, by
the Mayor of Baltimore, (Mr. Davies) and a com
mittee of Aldermen, and the President's party were
forthwith transferred to carriagers;--the President to
a baronehe drawn by four white homes, and escor
ted by a splendid military force, into the city and
through some of the principal streets to the Ex
change .Hotel—wham magnificenteccommodations
had been provided. The reception is described as
a brilliant and effective meant, and enthusiastic
in a high degree--the masses of the people, the
military, the city councils, the " Old Defend ers,"
the public schools,
licei &c., all uniting in the tribute
of iespect to the Chief magistrate. The streets
through which the preemie:on passed, were throng
ed---the windows; the hbensops and every com
manding pest occupied—whilst the national banner
every where floated in the breeze.
The president then received the citizens gener
ally, and retired about half past nine o'clock. About
midnight he was serenaded by the splendid bands
of the Independent Bine*, and of Capt. Voiaturr.
When th e President and suite arrived in Philadel
phia, he was escorted by a lareti eerncourse of mil
itary and citizens in procession, through some of the
principal streets, to the residence of Vice President
Dallas. Oil Thursday he visited Indepetidence
Hall, ,where he was received and welcomed by the
mayor and City Authorities,.
No demonstration has equalled it since the mem
orable reception of the lamented Andrew Jackson.
Party lines were dissevered ;
.private differences
forgotten, and personal feelings sunk in the gener
al joy. The good citizens of our fair city commin
gled together in one common brotherhood, as free
men, as patriots, as Americans,to welcome r to hon.
I or, and to extend the hospitalities of the city to his
Excellency, the President of the United States,
who holds the highest, the most exalted public sta.
-non known upon' the haitbable globe.
With all praise be it said, the cipposition_with the
true spirit of emulation, embarked upon this later.
eating occasion. They, vied with the Democrats in
rendering unto the Chief M%tistmte of the Union
those compliments and • civilitieS, which his high
and dignified position eminentlY entitled. him to,
and it was the frequent subject Cif remark, during
the day, that a umversaldesire to do homage to an
officer who has condueted - limself, in the adminis
tration of his public functions, in such a manner,
as to warrant the kind and disinterested regards and
esteem from his fellowcitizens, was signally ap.
parrent. His Excellency will, doubtless, hereafter
recur to this visit to Philadelphia, with emotions of
pleasure, and feelings of gratitude, for the generous
nv-alry, and the general hospitality manifested by
our good citizens in welcoming the nation's chief.
The splendid steamer "George, Washington"
(handsomely decorated"with the national ensign,
and accompa nied

ments exp ressly to bring hither the President from
Wilmington, left the wharf at Dockprecise
ly at twenty-three minutes of 8 o'clock. The mom
mg was cla: r, cool and pleasant, and the trip upon
the water deliOtftd.
The route of the President, from Wilmington,
and through the streets of Philadelphia, was mark.
ed by the indications of universal joy and hoepital
ity. The. shores of the Delaware, and the Imes
of the city, were filled with people ; and the roar

The New Tat papers are filled with the most
enthusiastic acccants of his conlial receptifiat in that
city. We have only room for the following, from
the Sun
The reception of the President yesterday, wasin
every respect la most brilliant affair. New . York
turned out nobly for the occasion, and an earnest
enthusiasm pervaded all classes. The welcome of
the Common Council Committee, the introduction
and welcome of the Mayor, with the President's
response, as in fact the wholei official proceedings
of the day reflect the credit upon all con
cerned. The fir e weather permitted the
whole city to ptuticipate, and to our recollection,
no individual has received a. more general and
hearty welcome to our city since the visit of Gen.
Jackson. It was a grand—a sublime spectacle !
A spectacle which might well lift up and thrill the
heart of any nian living. The Bay, Battery, Castle
Garden. Broadway and other streets through which
the President and procession passed,were all dense
ly packed with eager spectators—the windows, bal
conies and house tops were covered with as many
more, and the brilliant .cortege defiled through the
city, extending over three miles, loud huzzas, white
handkerchiefs, boquets and - smillMgfiaces greeted
the distinguished visiter. The military never made
a finer display, and as troop after troop eweptalong,
we could but feel that our country backed by bet
gloriousinstitutio.ns and such noble men as these,
had a proud destiny before her. What honor so
lofty can the imperial thrones of the old woddeom
mend, as that which yeeterdy saluted the Chief
Magistrate of the United States. Free and appose
neous, it was the beating of the national
ward its self constituted. head. Kingly

elastic macaws and respect impress him on whom
it wad conferred. It will sustain his heart and arm
in the conflict of care and toil for the Republic,.
Let no one think the let of such a man easy or en
viable. Bitter mid often ill appreciated are the
burthens of thosei who guide nations. standing on
it perilous height, they bear the world's weight, as
it were, and their only real reward is theconscious
new of having done their duty, and the applause of
those whose destinies are committed' to them,—
Above all - rulers, the President of the United States
is the guardian of a fearful and peerless trust. Del
egated by millions of freemen, to defend their in
terests and sustain their rights, his post is one of
care and danger, and when faithfully fi lled, hi/sea
ward should be iheir thanks and admiration. Such
were the laurels yesterday offered to the President
—laurels greener than bay, and brighter than the
diamond. May he continue to deserve there; and
the American people never refuse their Veal*,
when it is !eon by exalted merit in the service of
the Republic.
At eleven o'clock, Saturday evening:, a fine Ger
man Brass Band assembled under the windows of
the President's room at the Astor House, and sere
naded him until midnight when the curtain of si
lence dropped over the scene, closing the festivities
and excitement of the day—a day that will be long

President Polk, independent of errors, which all

trip of the steamboat Hero was' attended with en

delighted with oar River scenery. The reception
of the President at New Haven reflects credit on
the public spirit of that city. The streets were
crowded with horsemen and carriages, the win
dows were filled with ladies and the troops made
a very handsome amearance. At the State House
thousands were :presented to the Presisdent, until
oppressed by fangue and the increasing crowd, at
the suggestiotafithe Mayor the President mounted

mitted that Cot Mi's command was wed by the
gallantry of Capt. mm's parti.'
Capt. Bainbndtpewparty continued their march
to Vera Crux, where they arrived in eafetY•
lin the meantime, Capt. Thiperu's party having a.
Imig return trains to guard, and being threatened
by a large body of lacers, halted at Fe,
where they were charged by a greatly supenor
force, which they gilbmdy repulsed, killing n*iy

It wite said, however ? that some of our wa,,dotis,

On the day Capt. Bainbridges party left •Mcln

force of 800 men and two howilzers, and pushed ,
On towards the National Bridge. On, approaching
the Bridge, Gen. C. occupied the heights command
ing the Bridge t from winch the enemy had fired on
Capt. Bainbndge's mrty, wherh he was attacked
by a large force of the Mexicans posted on the
ridges and in the chapparal, and some hard fight
ing !imp carried on for several hours—the Mexican
loosing more than 100 men, and Gen. Cadwallader.'
losing some 15 killed and rime 30 or 40 wounded;
the Mexicans were repulsed.
The Bridge was successfully passed by Gen. • !
wallader, who was on his way la Jalapa.
The 'animated loss of Co l . Mclntosh's party was
about 84,000- The road for miles was strewn with
empty boxes and bacon sides, which had been cap
tured by the enemy. ! •
There was a great deal of dissafisfisction in the
army fngg the command which had charge
of the tram: ere will be a atilt of inquiry on
the subject.
The ' at Jalapa has been broken up by
order of Gen. Scott, and all the sick and govern
ment stores have been sent to Perote Castle, so
that this line of communication is entirely closed.
Gen.•Soott has had a road opened from Pemte to
Taman, from which, in future all oil 'stores and
men will be sent, in preference to the old road.
The success rif the attack on Mclutrah's command
has given great confidence to the guerillas, who are
swanning as great numbers duiniii the country,
and attacking all our parties, large and small. •
It was chiefly owing the gallantry of Capt. Ben
nett, the Paymaster, that the ipecie wagons in
charge of the party were saved. Be Was in one of
them himself when the wagon was attacked, and
fought like a tiger. . •
