This letter has-taken thetfolcral party and pre'
by surprise :in some placits it is boldly attacked :
in others it is pa.s,ed of er with a silence hid icative of
the deepest disappointment and mortification, while
the more' desperate denoonce it as a forgery.—
•One thing; however, is. certain. The positive re
fwial of the thstinonished General, to bcrcn:ne the
catididate of the Federal party. has proved an ef
fectual damper upon their enthusiasm. It not only
forever prevents him from aecepting a nomination
at Ali r hands : but it mom. than indicates a hostile
leg to that party, on some of the leading ques
tions of the day.
The effect, of this letter will be to remove Geri.

GEN. Pii.unr has greatly ilirringuished himself
in fighting the Guerrillas. on the mad from Vera
Cruz to Mexico. and the Federal papers are now
trying to injure him by stories, in regard to Lip
want of Gener4ship.

Modern " whigs". seem to have bet little' relish

to the enemy in the last. war, adhere to them like
plazie spots : white at many efitrts are tried to
shield them from the effects, old with about as
mueli saves , as. the thoummil newly invented

want of correct judvrteitt, its llteir opinions of the
honesty and capability of the people ; or if they
would insi-a pi t the justice of their federal principles,
they mi.ett escape the contems of tryiug to sneak
out of the. responsibility. It is as met+ in vain• for

N' effort to ayrcipria.e to them-elves the name

char:. in seariment ; and as vele.trreatly . de Apise
Cie litieral aid progressive domino of "equal
rights," now as tl. ey did in the days of the elder Ad.
ions, They seem to be aware that their piaci*s
are held in detestation by the great mass of the
people. hence;,they try to conceal their deformity--;
yet the long eais , will occasionally wick out. It is
not oxen that they more unwittingly expose thetil
selves that 'was doae, recently. in an artiele pub
lished the Athens Banner. Ga.. said to be a Dent
ocratic paper. a' u l copied into the Bradford Argus
of last week. The Argus reTartlis the article as tri
umphant evidence that Gen. Taylor is not a Demo
crat. It tlatly asserts that the old Generab •• is a
member of - the Ink , party, and, of Coarse an un
lit represcotaive of Democratic principles, - It is
alleged in the article alluded to, that • the farthpst
the General ever went in favor of Demcicracy, was
to intimate thatja President should enforce a "strict
observance date ConAitution.” ' . •
The Argus, admitting this difference, copies the
aeicle as an admission, by a Democratic paper.
that General Taylor is not a Democrat. No man,
therefor. it is admitted, caa be a Democrat. unless
he is in favor of a strict observance of the Consti
tution—that no man entertaining wino . . or Federal
principles can truly represent Democracy. Why
will not our neighbor Argus always keep this dif
ference before the people ? Why will it of tell
the people that the right to establish. a Nlional
Bank. and a thousand other projects of national en
terprise are grounds of difference between the two
parties, as to the power of the government. under
the Constitution.—That tbe Democratic . party are
for a strict road/whoa of that instrument, - while the
Federalists as they ever have been, are foi a liberal
construction. or drawing power from it by inference.
Let this difference, and the honest ditk;rmice be
tween the two parties,upon all impoitanbquestions,
be kept co:lSt:may and fairly before the people, and
the feVral party would be' spared the miserable
necessity of seeking refuzeips..
The Presidency.
. We notice a movement in several states for the
next Presidency, We are yet unable to leant whe
ther it is a piovement of one or both parties - for the
same man. This quelion is now undergoing dis
cussion between thoseimmediateljeinterested. One
side. avers it tp be a Detnecratic movement for Gen.•
Taylor, because the Gen. is a democrat die other
side aXers it, to be a whig movement, and that *the
Gen. is a whig of the old school. This is the issue ;
a very plain one too; but we suppose the is.sue in
filet, is only between the combatants, and with them
it is a question of great irnportince, neither more
nor less, than if the Gen. is elected,- who shall have
the spoils. We apprehend from the anomalous
char:tom of those concerned.- the blending of sn
Many hues, streaked or striped, that there will be
no difficulty in adjusting all difficulties, on thebasis
of sWare and share alike : and the candidate baptized
the 1 - People's candidate." But whether Gen. Tay
ler will countenance such a scheme of rascality,
there can be but `rare opinion. It seems to us that
hj trill promptly rebuke the conspiracy; that he is
a man of such sterling integrity and fervent patriot
ism, that no set of men ran peak° game of him. It
is impossible for any. man to be elevated to the Pre
sidency, who has no settled 'convictions as to the
principles on which the government should be ad
ministered. No party, nor the pimple irrespective
of party would agree to this. If Gen. Taylor con
sents to Ire the nominee of the whig awhig party, or the
democratic party, it in either case, amount to
a clerlamtit.e of principle: If. howexer, he can suit
neither party, in order that he may be acceptable to
a portion of both. they must know his principles:
otherwise they have no common groUnd to occupy.
or meet upon. Let us wait the development of this
matter. It must be made‹and when made. then it
will be time enough to canvass the Gen.'s' claims
to democracy or whit.. , gery. We think the General
has served his country too well, and is too deserv
ing to be bamboozled about by hn.-kster politicians :
and if some of those who have been itulifiifigable
to nominate him tints prematurely, is any. indica
tion of the company tire Gen. keeps, *we have our
private opinion of his stripe. Our public opinion
is. that if the Gen. should be judged,. by some of
those who art anxious to keep 11:s company, that
he would be very much abused.
Gen. Taylor's name, however, is 'bamboozled
about by politicians in this state, in mare than one
way. We have looked on with kurrittsement, at the
sangnine exertions of the whip to make capital otit
of the General's Ulaggery„ for the fall election...—
They took it for granted that the people would go
blind fit Irvin. if it could only be made out that the
same party which were in favor,of Hrevesv FRANK
Saralt were opposed to Irvin and Taylor. Of course
the people would go for W. Irvin, because he is a
whig. and so is the Hero of Buena Vista. But it
turns nut like the old woman's bread, which a-as
all dough.: The Geri. has written a letter by which
it seems thatle is as much a democrat at whig,
with no pn-tension to either. - SoMr. Irvin must gi;
along on his own hook, rte vre presume the Heroof
Buena Vista prefers he shianid do. -

TUE MF.XIrAN W tß.—Opiniong of the Spanish
Preti.—The N. 0. Patria, of the 3d inst., publishes
an extract from an editorial article, in the Madrid
Herald() of the 26th April, on the subject of the war
between the United States and Mexico, which is
not a little interesting, from the candor and ability
with which it is written. The writer. afbor com
mencing on the victory (ns the Mexican to-count
made it appear? at Angostura or Simms Vista,
which the Mexicans, under Santa Anna had obtain
ed over General Taylor, news of which had just
Nen received, expresses his conviction, that not
withstanding this temporary Faeces:4, 'Mexico was
doomed to fall in the struzgle, and her name to be
razed - from the list of nations. It is, aecordin* to
him, a wax of races, which could only terminate
in the cc mplete overthrow of the Spanish, by the
victorious Anglo-Saxons. Lamenting, as a descen
dant from the contrnon stock of Spaniards and Mai
cans, this sad destiny - of the ancient kingdom of
Montezuma, he says nothing else could ,have been
expected, seeing the constant occurrence of revo
lu:ions in that unhappy country, whose natural ef
fect was to unsettle men's mind, and revolve the
whole social system into its primeval demotes,
causing the total neglect of every thing calculated
to raise the standard of intelligence and industry
therein.
The clergy are severely reproved for their selfsh
ness, in not parting with a portion of their immense
wealth to support the national cause. • The course
of the United States is then commented on. The
writer points to the rapidity with which this coun
try has increased in every element of commercial
and political :realness ,' The European nations are
warned against our gigaraie power, which is rapid
ly aeqUiring such extraordinary size, that the most
powerful nations in the Old Continent are but
figures in comparison. The United States, accord.
ing to the Spanish editor, is destined to acquire the
dominion• of the seas: she will monopolize the corn
metre of the world : and no human power can pre
vent Cuba and the West India group of islands
from falling into her power, since they will there
by obey the force of niesistable • attraction.—N. 0.

"A gentleman now in this city, just from the

which - t deem wdrthy of repetition. - The gentle

Ready" in conversation. when they were interrupt
ed by the appearance of a young officer who hand.
ed the old General a bundle of newspapers., "Here
is one. General, that has your name up for the
Presidency." "Let me see it, sir." The old Gen.
looked at it for some minutes, scanning it with
seeming interest. "Take it away,. sir," rid the
old hero gyoffly, " I don't believe in it—no one
can support me who opposes the war—he's worse
than a Mexican !'"rhe Editors of the North Ameri

The New Orleans Delta of Sunday, the 27th
June, announces the receipt of Mexican papers
holm the 30th of May i o the sth June inclusive, and
:rives the follower , brief synopsis of their contents.
Gen. Arita has been arrested and confined. Gen.
Almonte was still in prison.- On the Ist June all
the natives of the United States were ordered to
leave the city of Mexico for the states oflalisco or
Morelia, or they would be dealt with avoordinto

mand of the lines of defence of the city. Bodies
of the National Guard are said to be on their way
and constantly arriving from the adjoining states,
mid it is believed that from seventeen to twenty
thousand troops will be concentrated for the pro
tection of the city. The papeta are tilledovith ac
counts of great feats performed by the Cuerrillas.--
Tbe - Mexamns have certain information that Gen...
Scott cannot expect reinforcements to a Itreater ex
tent than two thousand men .and money -to the
amount of $200,C00, and nothing more. They
therefore think it doubtful whether he will march
to the capital, and falk loudly in that city of march
ing out to meet him. There are - but.6,000 Ameri
cans, they say. frOm Vera Cruz - to Puebla, who
lord it over a population of a million of inhabitants
which the two states contain. This they say can
be believed only because it is seen. -
The letter of Santa Anna withdrawing his resig
nation is published. The following' paragraph will
show its character" During the time since I gave
in nu resignation. I have received singular tokens
of the confidence of all classes and of all persons
the most influential in society. All have besoruzht
me not to persist in my intentions., I see iw them
a determined purp(w.e to force mystp remain, found
ed in the necessity of preservifrr the .present state
of things without innovation, in order not to endan
ger the fate of this populous city, and ,on the mo
tion the excitement has been very general, and
even the troops in, the garrison and inept numerous
oi-the people, have been constant in their
solicitations and their prayer.

The Mexican Congress had postponed the elec
tion of President. to the 25th of November, and
-Made Santa. Anna Dictator: The preparations for
the defence of the Capitol were of the }Host thorough

A letter also states that Gen. Alvarez is between
Perote-and Puebla, and is making great exertions
with a view to attack and dtroy Gen. Cadwalde
His force is reported to be 5000 men and increase

Gen. Cadwallader, it will be recollected, let

bably hear of this Mexican force before reaching
Perote.
He will no doubt halt untiljoined by Gen. Pil

joined will no doubt be able to :trace their way to
Gen. Scotts head quarters. z,..

Mr. Kendall writes to the Picayune under date.
Puebla. June 14th, that prospects pf peace are fur
ther off than. ever, and that our government will be
compelled to take possession of the whole coun
try and govern It too. The Picayune, with regard
to this news, says—
" The news by the N. Orleans which will be
found in detail in our columns to-day is the most
serious, and consistent that ace have received for :
many weeks.
It is now no longer doubted that General Scott*
march upon the Capital will be disputed .with no
inconsiderable determination for Mexicans.
It is supposed that he will be resisted in force at
three several-points between Puebla and Mexico.
The Guerrillas, too, are becoming bolder in their
anacksi ;von bialies of men•rnoving along the roads.
IndicaEons of obstinate resistance are rife on every
quartet, nor can any presage of peace be drawn
from any souree rinses there be comfort in .the
adage, that the'darkest hour of the,night is just-be
fore day."
