The. Gazete , nnder this head, a t t e mpts
to convic t
us halting "lost all cOnfideece" in the Democratic
patty, and ofhaving shown that, in the Mexican war,
- "the Deineeracy have run away almost as fast as they
vol4itteered. " The editors • base the arguments on
whielkhey make this attempt, upon two articlesthat
,etigilli n appeared in this paper. One of these, wan
tluttintroducing an extract from the letter of Mr.
which we say, "a little observation and
_ in
itupiny.would have demonstrated to :him the Cacti
'thgiairemendow, majority of the whole volunteer
fotrije n , and has been from the commencement of
:the 'Wei, compoaed ofDemocrats."
Oar tither article was based upon a statement
nn =4in:the Dubuque Express, in which we said that
• demiii.is f iV.iot the regular army is composed of natives
of I eland ; two-thirds: of the entire army are natives
7 f or,othercttuttries, and hut one third are natives of
States 1 , 3 In this article we stated, that,
/' ofthe *bolo number of deserters, nearly two-thirds
are natives of onr own free and happy country."
Fronl these premises, the Gaiette arrives to the sage
. .. - ierai n sinteloo, , that we have charged the Democrats
with being deserters; for, say the editors,
trl#Slossi majority o n fthis one-third are Democrats,
the conelusion with us, is, that the Democracy have
,ctstretway 'almost as fast as they volunteered, to go."
Titbitnay be a fair, legitimate, and convincing argu
-meet; to the minds of the editors of the Gazette and
its - esintletsH,:. The young "Whigs". especially, may ,
grasp at it With all the fervor of youth; but we thtnk
: that more mature minds, and even *hose of its own
n ' pasty , whn think deeply, will look upon it as a very
vial ,view of the matter; and that it is certainly
Wartirt °illy conclusion that may be fairly arrived

-. mitittly ; -awl recommend that they shall study the
second elementary, division of Arithmetic a little
mnie r fullyibefonii they dispute at all with their
atti&insa, on the general subject embraced under

(We have nothing further by Telegraph, and we
are not sure of the correctness of some portion of
the above despatch.)
The Convention next proceeded to consider a re
solution offered by Mr. Lowry," that this body now
proceed to elect the Congressional delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, presented by the several de
legates presedt frOm those districts," &c,, pursuant
to the resolution previously passed.
The resolution gave rise to much exeitement, the
Buchanan men declaring that they had been cheated
on Saturday, and would nut allow themselves to be
cheated a second tune. Wilmot, Penniman, Lowry
and others, spoke at some length. A motion was
made to postpone the resolution, which was that—,
ayes 61, na' 64. The reports of the Delegates
were then received, as follows: (Here correspond
ent has omitted the list. We shall publish it to
morrow.)
A dispute arose,on the question to admit those
delegates which have not been objected to , and On
an amendment, that those be admitted, who had the
majority of the delegates present , from such Con
gressional district, to recommend them ; and, third
ly, on an amendment, that each' elector and dele
gate, recommended by a unanimous' vote, be admit
ted, one at a time. The queatiou,-with the amend
ments, was not disposed oriat the hour of the ad
journment.
The Taylor *Sate Committee. --
We published the names of the gentlemen com
posing this committee ts. Dita days ago, says the Penn
sylvanian, as a matter l orreconi, and to " preserve
IWO record" of Tayloilim in Pennsylvania, take
great pleasurein laying before the public the fol
lowing manly and sensible letters of Messrs. Mon
tznsano and SIMI!, of Berka county. Mr. M. is a
son of the Into lamented H. A. Montratnatta, and
of course a consistent republican, and Mr.G. Shan
is ono et the most staunch and vigorous Democrats
of gallant "Old Berks." It is well remarked in
the'se letters to the chairman of thn,Stato Committee,
,that so long as Taylorism had the semblance of u
Democratic movement, they felt disposed to favor it,
but like good Demotrats, when they found it mixed
up with chicken-hearted no-partyiam, Federalism,
and worse than all fanaticism, In the shape of Na
tivism, they could have nothing more to do with it.
All geed republicans will join with us in thanking
Messrs. M. and S. for this exposition of Glair po
sition :
h 2, M

papers thHatarc the late Tay
lor Convention, assembled at Harrisburgh, has ap

pointment, and repuest you to hate ny name :with
drawn.
As long as the Taylor movement ware Democratic
one—as long as I believed General Taylor to be a
Democrat—l was his candid and sincere supporter.
The course I advocated at all. times was, that if he
were a Democrat; it was the of the Demo.
ciiiic party to male him italeader, as they had done
with Goma! hellion. The correctness of his prin
, ciplea was, however, an indispensable pie -requisite.
Theletters which bare appeared since that time,
as well as the ahandonmfint of a Democratic organ
isation, are sufficient to . .:onvince all that General
Taylor is not with us. However much, therefore,
I may admire the man, I cannot consent to abandon
'my principles for his sake. A Democrat I ever
have been and ever will be.,
The use of my name in the'recentConvention was
entirely unauthoriied. For - some time I. bad seen
With regret that.the assurances Thad received, that
at the proper time General Taylor would announce
his principles to be- those edits "Democratic party,
were not destined to be verified. - I therefore with
