Were he ten times an Emperor, theservices you have rendered your country would entitle you to see h:nt! I am here, by appointment, to see him at 2 o'clock. Accompany me. and you shall see him !"

The usher did the message, and Mr. -Pi - 0k left the Ca binet and gave audience to the two distinguished Officers." 'The slisnwful treatment Col. May has received at the hands of the present Administration, has caused a deep feeling of indignation throughout the whole country. Gen. Cairidon has been instrumental in getting up a locofoco meeting at Harrisburg in favor of Gen. Taylor, for the next Presidency.— Gen. C. is a shrewd man—he Ends that Pennsyl vania is lost forever to free trade Locofocoism— and is now paving the way for coming over to the Taylor Pirr:vr,tind advocating Whig principlee.— fn lan we reecived a number of political lessons from the lips of Gen.Cameron,and then he was one of the moat devoted friends of Henry Clay to be found in the State.. We have always believed him to be a democratic Whig at heart, although policy and political advancement has caused him to hang upon the skirts of Lacofocoism.

The garrison of Jalapa has been brolien 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 entitely cloied. Gen.

The Governor was informed of hi, arrival, and imme diately took measures for his arrest, but so far without success.

He is suppiised to be in some one of the vaults or recesses of !he Cathedral, which is surrounded with soldiers to priventany commu nication with, or egress iron) its interior. Our readers will learn with surprise that all the troops ordered by Government to reinforce Gen. Taylor, with a view of reiarching on San Luis Potosi, have been ordered- to Vera Cruz to join Gen.

But when we come to com pare locofocdprofessions on the war and locofoco. practice, .they will be foUnd widely different.— Locofocoism can vapor with acmuch noise of steam as Santa Anna himself, in a pryclamation; but when bard knocks are required, many of its adherents are inclined to - dhow theirknowledge of the Mexican language by exercises in the art of ttvamos." • We are led to these general remarks-4or there are individual exceptions, and we know some truly brave locotoco soldiers—by - noticing in the Corydon (Ia ) Gazette, that; during the last Con gressional cants.. in that district. the Hon.
