TO OUR READERS We expected, when we undertook to re smite the Message by telegraph, to lay it be fore our readers yesterday meriting, in our re gular edition, at the usual time ; but such was the great length of the document and the state of the atmosphere, that, although not a mo ment was lost from two o'clock, Taeaday, *hed it commenced to arrive, up to the close of its reception, we did not receive it all until two O'clock yesterday. As we had made no preparations to publish a paper ir respective of the message, our readers most excuse the late bow of our issue, as it was -governed by circumstances beyond oar con ant. 1;:r We must ask the indulgence of our readers for the lack of the usual variety and quantity of matter in our columns to-day. After all the hands connected with the es tablishment had been kept on their feet and busily employed for nearly thirty hours con secutively, in getting out the Message, we could not ark them for further exertion. To morrow we shall be all right again' Tux formation of a "Taylor flepublican Association," u has been recommended and attempted by some of our Whig friends in Philadelphia. seems increasingly objectiona ble the more we reflect upon it. Although, as we said before, we do not understand the exact design of this movement, and have not been made acquainted with the motives which have originated it, yet we must enter *or protest against any measure which ap pears to be calculated in its nature to weak en the influence and efficiency, if rot destroy altogether, the glorious Whig party with which it has been our pride and pleasure to be associated for so many years. Any movement designed to cage the name, or any of .the great and leading prin ciples of the Whig party, to be successful, must disband the present effective organic' a don, and scatter its elements to the winda—, thus wantonly throwing away the herculean labor of years, and ruthlessly destroying as' fair a political fabric as has ever been reared I in the country. The Whig party, as now sorunimted, num bers in it's tanks the true republican and con servative feeling of t? country. It in the bulwark of our institunona, protecting them from the dangers of concentration, through ignorant and blind devotion to party and person, on the one hand, and a destructive and levelling spirit on the other. Divide up and amalgamate pasties as you will, which seems to be one object of the Philadelphia movement, the members composing them will in time seek their natural and educa tional abut . ' ies,..aed two parties will always exist, of characteristics similar to the present Whig and tooofoco organizations. Why, then, disturb the harmony of exist- log relations—especially just as the public mind has become acquainted with Whig' . principles, and has been disabused of long and embittered prejudices What good can it do—what object of general welfare will he effected by it I Will it not throw us back for years, and compel us to commence the work of building up a national conservative party, favorable to safe social progress, over again! HA MM AND MATTI= AI WASlLlBiarolc—hal ef .effort is to be made to settle the question of shivery in the new territories, daring this session. A letter says that the tree milers are;determined to main mitt tbe freedom of the soil fitim slavery in Cali kiroill; but wield. perhaps, Lewis New blesico to the disposithm ofTexas, whose eltdros to that ter ritory may receive a failirble consideration. If the Southern democracy'ailpept these terms, It is mid the free sailers will be initialled—and the two wings' dthe pony may again harmonise. On these carms,! and on these only it is said will the free Goiters of New York ever consent to fight side by ode with the Hookers. It le rammed then Henry Clay is to return to the U. Sates Senate. Mr. Clay has himself said that he will be a candidate for the sent made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Crittenden. and filled tempo rarily - by the Governor , s appointment of Mr. Met. ealf. Every ;one will rejoice to see him back in the place to which he has formerly gives so much vace, dignity and Interest. It Li pot down es certain thw.

They have two daughters and s .,] believe one son living. One of his daughters was marr i ed to Cal: Jefferson Davie. She married against the consent of her menus, and for a number of years the old General never exchanged • word with her husband. At the ciege of Monterey, however, chance pieced them cl ose ly together, and the cp. partnnity was Mixed by Col. Davis to restore the goodtbelinp whirl Grimmer e.sisted between them. Satisfactory eipbsuations were made, both shook hands, by gams were ktrgotten, and the two are now happily reunited in the hoods of friendship.— Mrs. Davis died some years since, much regret ted by all who knew her. His other daughter, well known as "Miss Betty," end wbo, it is presumed, will be the presiding gen ius of the White lionise, is n beautiful girl. It is generally 'supposed that she will become the better half ofgalhou Colonel Bliss, and that they are en gaged to be married, and have been so for some time. Col. Bliss is perfectly at home in the old General's Imam he eats there, and is always treat ed by him as a son, and he looks op to General Taylor as a father. The second daughter living, is married to Dr. Wood, of the United States Army. residing In Baltimore, A abort time after the Genetsl wee nominated by the whig convention in Philadelphia, he received comber &letters from distinguished urging him to travel to the North, In order to pro mote the chances of his success; but he turned a deaf ear to all ef them. One day he was asked why he would not do so, when it was evident that it would help him in being elected. To this he made a characteristic reply. "Sir," said ha, would not solar degrade myself as to go as far as that ferry, (pointing to e ferry close by,) to influence the public choice, or to secure my election. I have never solicited the nomination, and oever aspired to the Presidency. lithe people elect me of their own free choice. ray humble services will be at their disposal. If they elect some other candidate. shall not be in the aligtuast degree mortified." It is supposed, by those who are competent to form an opinion on the subject, that Gen. Taylor will select Mr. Crittenden, of Kentacky, as Beene. tart , of. State or Attorney General. He has been heard, on many occasions, to express himself in the highest terms of commendation of that grualemsn's talent and ability, and it is believed that several letters have passed between them within a short time.

We have received the Santa Fe Repuiheart of the 1804 of October, from which we are able to condense a good many instils of interest: A aerially of New Mexico has been taken, Goat which it appears that the population of the Tent tory—rwt including the county of Valencia—is 32,228; of which 2S, 151 are classed as whites, and 4,057 ea Indians• The Seputilican contains the proceedings of a Convention of delegates of the people of New Mex• leo, "to form a coristitallon and apply to Congress for a Stem or Territorial Govertimem, and to do mich other Irma as to them may seem for the inter est of the people." A majority of the Convention were Mexicaas. ANTONIO Jose MANTIN, of Taos, was elected President, and J. hi': Ginumos Seca, Lary, and the business of the corivenuon was trans. acted mainly through an interpreter. The only offieiel set of this body was the adop• lion °fa petition, on behalf of the people of New Mexico, to the Congress of the United States, in which they ask Go the speedy organisation of a Territotial r *.ivil Government, for New Mexico. They repellent that the organic and astute laws, promulgated by authority ofthe United States Sept. tember, 22.1.1849, with some tew alteratious, would be desirable to them.

The Eagle sayer Mr J. Walker, an Ameriean. residing in the Co. loop, in engaged in teaching school among these Hollanders, we believe in the village of Zeand.— This village was founded under the superinten. entice of Rev. A.C.Van Raalte. The school house is of logs ; some 25 by 35 feet, and is used as a place of worship, Mr. Walker's pupils are manly adults., learning the English language. There is also a school there where the Hollanders are educated in their own tope. The village of Zealand yet in embryo,containing from 75 to 100 houses, and bide fair to become a large and flourishing city. The country, which-but a year and a half wince, was a dense, unbroken wilderness, the abode only of the Indian banter and wild beast; where the white man never 'ventured, except cawasionelly; a daring and adventurous trapper, ts fast becoming a garden of tke
