And whereat, The late Silas Wright in his modest but beautiful letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Signal, in the following expressive language, portrayed what ahould be the lee ling of every civilian of the present day, who ha been nimcd for the Presidency. -"I never,' aid this pure patriot, "Va?ve been vain enough tu aspire to this high office, and it I had desired it ever so strongly, I am tint so blind not lo ee that I he present period present no opportu niyf for such a candidate I should be. My acqnaintuuee with ithaa long aince satisfied me that no man f-huulJ aspire to it who has not stronger hol! upon tho feeling of the people than I have; and that if ohuined, it give to such a man neither pleasure nor honor." And whereat. Major General Zachary Tsy lor, the hero of Palo Alto, Kesacca de la Palms Monterey and Ouena Vista, baa that strong hold upon (he feeling of the people which will ee cure his certain elevation In this distinguished post which will give lo him both pleasure and honor, as cowing from the uuboughl suffrages ol the freeman of America; Therefore, Ketolvcd, That this meeting does hereby nominate as it candidate and the candidate of the people for the next Presidency, Major Gen ZACHARY TAYIiOR, and that each individu al member of it hereby pledgee himself to use all honorable means to e fleet hia triumphant e lection. Jletotved, That a the only constitutional mean ot preserving- lo the people their inhe rent right lo vote tor the man o( their choice is through preaideatial electors, it ia the firm de termination of the democratic friend of Geo. Taylor in Pennsylvania, to nominate an electo ral ticket, and they recommend the same course to he adopted in every Slate of the Union. Rrtulved, Thai it is earneally recommended that Itoiigh and Ready associations be formed in ever county, lowichip, ward and district in the State, whose peculiar province it shall be to oroniote the election of the Nation' favor ite.

The Mexican account of the postures of af fairs in that country, which are to be found in the lata Havana pneerr, give confirmation to llu opinion expressed by us a few day. ago, that the prospects of peace are by no means en cotirsging.

Other Generals were also, in various parte of the country, nrgauiz.ng anli- , peace anti Santa Anna parlies. There is said to be, also a coalition of eight Stales to oppose any treaty of peace with Ihe United States. Iu these complex and difficult circumstan ces, Santa Aona ruui-t certainly, it bo baa any idea ol making a peace at all, throw himself u pon our army for aid and protection.

Salisbury sharges Jeass Miller, the present Secretary of State, Henry Pelrikeo, his deputy, Jacob Seiler, one of the clerks, and others connected with Gov. Sbunk's administra tion, with having written these articles, which he says be can prove by the original manuscripts handed in for publication. Mr. Miller, Mr. Pe- triken, and Mr. Seiler have published a state ment, in which they deny snott emphatically that they ever had anything to do with Ihe vile paper, arid that the srtirles are hot if) their band wri ting. To Ibis denial Col. Salisbury makes a long reply in the North American of Monday last, in which he brings forward as proof a statement un der oath of G H. Morgan and Augustus Sprig man, who were ths publishers ef the Democratic Champion, and who aay that Miller, Pelrikeo and Seiler brought the original articles to their office for publication. . James B. Crangle, who also had been one of tha publishers, confirms the atstement of Col Salisbury, and states that ths Champion was started at lh urgent request of Jese Miller, II Pelrikeo. Jacob Seiler and o There. Henry Sprigman, a brother, says he sav the wil idea in the office, arid read them, and they were in tbe hand writing of Miller, Petriken and Siler. 'The whole transaction certainly pre sents a curious bUtory in the political annals of Pennsylvania. We beard tbe whole history of these papers at Harrisburg last winter, and have always bar? oar' own opinion eoncerning1hem Mr. Miller ami Mr. Pelriken were both bitter and oncompromising opponents ol Mr. MnMeR' berg's nominatioa ; bat they have both positive ly and most emphatically denied that they ever wrote an article in that or any other paper, a- gainst Mr. Muhlenberg. The parties are, there fore, at iesue, and the public will have to draw their own conclusions from tbe evidence before the people. - To Pat-tibcm; A writer m ttie Uostoti 1 Courier, wbe is net in fcvor ef Qen. Taylor for the Presidency, comes, nevertheless, to the fol lowing conclusion, in rtrereitcs to him, in thai connection : "From a pretty extended observation, I am in duced to believe that the chance in favor of ths eleciis of Geo. TsyWr are greater than those of the Demoetrtie candidate, whoever he may be. and that the Democratic candidate ha a rnecb greater chance thae the Whig. And my reasons for this belief sre these : Ths pnoule im the North knd West, of both the great parties, are tired and irk of the party warfare of the last sixteen yesr. They want change, and tie old isines being worn out, they wish lor new one.- Gen. Tsytof , relusing to be a forty candidate, ia their man. II has acqnitred a fascmatirrg popularity by h force of ekeamstsnce sed his military success,, which Ucrease rather 1hae slimioishes by the prolongation of the war, and will be con firmed if Ihe war should now cease. His popu larity is great, not only in the whole West, but in New F.nglatt-t-even in Massachusetts, after you travel fifty miles from Boston. It is eseles to attempt to reason at to the why and wherefore with any body, or to ask what particular principle are expected to be promoted by his electioo. . Tbe answer would generally he, from one of bis partisan, that he cares little for sny pledge, sa he believea Ihe General to be an honest man, and he ia willing to trust to him to do right." It aeema to be here assumed that Gen. Taylor i not to be tbe nominee of either of the party convention. This may be a hasty assumption. But, at any rate, a Lord Nelson once said, when overlooked In the official bulletin, being a young officer, "Never mind, t ball oon have a bulle tin of my own." So it may happen that if Gen. Taylor should be unnoticed by official conven tions, he may have in due time a convention of his own. He has one already, in every gather ing of the massoe of Ihe people, on any of the or dinary occasions ol life. ttatt.

Mr. Buehinsn, in his Berks ronnty letter, lakes ground against tbe Wilmot Proviso, and thinks the Missouri com promise line should be adopted as Ihe limit of slsvery in all newly acquired territory. Mr. Dallas, not to be behind, in a speech recently at Pittsburg, also lakes Southern grounds, and thinks, in lbs acquisition of new leiritory, no thing should be said about slavery, but to let ths inhabitants of such territory consult their own tastes and interests in the matter. Now both Mr. Buchanan and Pallas are candidate for the Presidency, and find it necessary to remove this stumbling block, which interpose such sr. insu perable barrier between Northern democracy and Southern slavery. The late Sitae Wright was sn open advocate of the Wilmot proviso, as are al most all of ths independent democracy of the free states. Gen. Taylor, though a Southern man, will givs no pledge in favor of the extension of the limits of slavery.

The Washington Union of Saturday night, in sn editorial in relation to our recent triumphs in Mexico, thus foreshadows ihe course our gov- erno.enl will probably pursue, should peace not lake place from present negotiation: "" u We believe that our government and our people are unanimous in the opinion, that, if our propositions for peace be now rejected, there is no longer room nor encouragement on our part lor the policy of conciliation. We must offer the olive branch no longer. - The wer must be resumed at once, and with near vigor. Its bur dens must be thrown at once upon thecorxjnred We must levy severer contribulione. .. Its pre sure must be severely fell ; and while wa con duct our military rweratiooe with that strict and crupuluu regard to the la we of war which be comes free and Christian people, and which an American army ean never forget, our ene my must yet be made to know that to him the continuance ol Ihe war, which be electa, ia on ly Ihe continuance ot calamity, and ktet, and humiliation Dy such a course alone ean we luipe to secure a peace, if Mexico ahall prove, by tbe detest of tha preaunt negotiations, that her agreement to negotiate ia only a treachsr- on pretence to gain time for new measure of hostility. L.lsnlnnt llasamnwn. A late number of the N, Y. Spirit of the Time published a beautiful tribute lot he memo ry ol those gallant officers of the 1st Dragoon w ho fill in delcnceof thoir country in Ihe pre sent war. It is from Ihe eloquent pen of the Urv. Letndcr Ker, a Chaplain in tho Doited .States army. Tha gallant Lieutenant Mam mond, of thisKtale, lio fell fighting in Call for n is, is ihu noticed : ' The last on thi ' Jit ' Lieut. Thorns C.

The prr sent year will contrast aingularly with the last in this respect. Then, for weeks pre ceding tbe election, nothing waa heard but the note of preparation for the contet . The nUy drum and the ear piercing fife , made the air re sound with their daily and nightly mmic, fl .g fluttered at-all the political rendezvous, lantern and fireworks illuminated Ihe night, orators ri valled Ihe rockete in the brilliancy of their flight', and ihe public generally wss lully arou sed to Ihe importance ol the great question that were lo be decided by iu ballot. .Now, within wo short weeks ol lies dsy when the Governor o the Stale ie to he elected, with Ihe legists- ureand county officers, not a single mass mee ting ha yet been held, not solitary cheer wakened '.he echoes of old Independence Hall, not a lying placard disfigured the walls at the corners, fireworks ere unexploded, snd orator re dumb. Wheiicnall this apathy, and what re Ihe agiUtor about that Ihey are not stirring up the people! Have the latter grown tired or the eternal din and resolved to sis y quietly at home until the day when their voles hove to be deposited. We hope so, lor we believe that our elections would be all tha better conducted if Ihey were free from the excitement and passion. which usually attend them. When men are left to their own eool judgement, they generally act rightly PubNc tdger; Mom like Gen. Washington is Gen. Taylor When Gen.

A conduct in conformity wim thi resolution would enable me to act with a tide reference to jutlite end the public gotd." When Gen Taylor was written to on the same subject, his answer ws ss follow : "If elected to that office, it muit b by the spontaneous will of ths people at large, and with out agency or pledge i my part in any particu lar.

W.MiiM.iToN, Sept. 37!h, 184f. Another day ha na'd without bringing any intelligence frem ttie Sonth, and the hope ef Ihe friends of peace begin te be at a (mall ditcomf. But the probabilities tre still in favor of peace. Were there anything ecidedly eppoted to it, the new would certainly hare reached here; for bad news, "yen knew," always travel fast. A I before informed yon. Government keep a steamer waiting at Vera Cist to communicate the first tidings ewe way or another. Had any thing drride.1 ' orcurted -anytbing fUt would warrant the termination of tbe armistice and the renewal of hostilities- we should certainly know it. The difficulty consists, probably, ' with the Conres t hence thn neeeity of granting them time beyond thi I apprehend nothing serious. I have heard an opinion expressed that Santa Anna i cgsin playing us foul; but that I csn hardly believe. This however, t think may be put down at certain, that if Santa Anna do not succeed in obtaining a majority for a treaty of peace with the United States, bs will try lo lake the popular side of tbe question, and avail him- self of the first fsvorsble opportunity to put him self in a condition to oppose ut again. The life of that min exhibitt so many instan ces of low cunning, base treachery and cruelty, that nothing ought to surprise us eoming from him, while we ought always to be prepared for Ihe worst. Let ut only remember how- be treated hit benefactor, tturbide, who had first raised him from a Captain to a Colonel, and whom, on his re turn to Tuspan from Italy, he cruelly butchered in presence of hit wife, without even to much at a court martial. W ought never to loae sight of the drgrsded and demoialixed race we have to deal with, and put twice the caution in our dip-, lomacy that we use in strategy or on tbe field of battle. The presence of General Atmstrong leads to various conjectures. All I can say ori the subject is, that it is nt connected with the postal arrangement contemplated to be formed with England, and that it may possibly lefer to Ihe Mexican war, should it go on. I do not believe that General Taylor will ask leave to come home ; but should he do so, (which is most impmpable.) the man that fought nnder Gen. Jackson at the battle of Now Orb ant would, perhaps, not be an unworthy successor nf tbe old hero. Tbe probabilities, however, are that ' Old Rough and Ready" will serve as long a tbe war lasts, and that Gen. Atmstrong will re tern to Liverpool, where he it to deservedly popular with all elates of society. tsoo.ooo 6.000 a.38Tdo 6 000 30.000 300,000 30 000 DO 000 5,000 510,000 50,000 800 3.000 645,000 OK'KKVr.R.
