IEYSUMORED CA BINET CHANGEB.-A letter
from Washington to the . Richmond Inquirer,
predicts that Secretary Marcy Will go Minis
ter -to Russia; avd„tbat Gen. F. B. Pierce, of
New Hampshire, will succeed him in the
War Department; also that as soon as these
changes take place, Mr. Gillet, now Solici

OLD Zacii !—Two more letters have ap
peared hom Gen. Taylor within -a week, in
;the first of which he expresses his readiness
to accept the nominatLon of either the Whig
or Locofoco National Conventions, or -both,
if they think proper to tender it, but he will
not be pledged to the party views of either.
In - the-other—letter—he—respectfully-deeferes

Poor, pestered old Buena Vista! We firm
ly.believe that he 'gill ere many years be
made the President of the United States;but
he cannot justly complainif the Whig Na
tional Convention declines entering his neme
for the great stakes of 1848.
. THE N EW ORLEANA EVENING MERCURY of
the sth inst. gives us an insight into the
character of the instructions under which the
Commissioners and Plettipotentiaries of the
of the United States have been sent to Mex
ico. That paper states that the lion. Mr. Se
vier publicly declared, in reply to citizens of
New Orleans as to the policy by which he
intended to be governed in the negotiations
with Mexico, that 4 :he would write no.deng
letters, nor endure prolimged negotiations,
and if he could not secure a peace speedily,
40 would at once resume a hostile position.—
Therefore, (says the Mercury,) the country
may expect on his part immediate and effec
tual action. •
HEAVY Fuses rN rerrsaurte. —Five terribly
deetructive fires occurred in Pittsburg on
"tVednesdly, consuming from thirty to forty
houses antL.stables. The five fires were
raging in different parts of the city at the
same time, producing the utmost consterna
tion; as the belief was general that it was
the work of incendiaries. The loss must be
immense.
Fortunately there was no wind, or else
hall the city would have been destroyed.
KENTUCKY.—The Locolocos of Kentucky
have at length found a candidate tor Govern
ori in the person of Lazarus W. Powell.—
The Louisville Journal says that the same
Mr. Powell was in 1844 the Locofoco'candi
date for election in his district. In the course
of his labors, he went to Litchfield in Gray
son county, and made a speech. In that
.speech he indulged so . freely s in hard swear
ing, that the grand jury ' indicted him for pro-
Polity and he was actually convicted and fined!
THE WESTERN ; WHEAT Cppp. —Accounts
from the States of Michiaan, Indiana, and
Wisconsin, speak favorably'of the prospects
of the wheat crop there. li promisee a good

Chicago Tribune says: "We have convers

TO THE PUBLIC
The various and conflicting reports which
have been in circulation as to my intentions
with respect to the next Presidency, appear
to me to furnish a proper occasion for a full,
-frank and explicit exposition . of my feelings,
wishes and views upon that subject; This
it is now my purpose ro make..
• With a strong disinclination to the use of
my name. again in connection with that of
fice, I left my residence , in December last,
under it determination to announce to the
public, in some suitable lorm, my desire not
to be thought of as a Candidate. In niy -ab
sence, I trequelitiy expressed to different
gentlemen my. unwillingness to be again in
that attitude; though no one was authorized
to publish my decision, one way or the °lb-.
er, having reserved
. the right to do so myself.
On reflection 1 thought it was Clue to my
friends to &insult therriltre . 1 took-a deci
' .eive step .. Accordingly, • itLin:the course of
the last three months 1 have had an oppor
tunity of conversing folly and freely with
them; many of them having, addressed to
me the ritrougest appeals and the imosrear-,
nest entreaties both verbally and Written to
,dissuade' me "from executing my intended
Purpose. They represented to me that the
Withdrawal of my pante would be fatal to
their success, and perhaps lead to the disso
lution of the party, with which / liaia been
associated, particularly in the free States; that
at no former period did there exist so great
a probability of my election, ill would con
sent to the use of my. name; that the great
States of New-York and Ohio would, in all
probability cast their "otes tor me; that New
York would more certainly bestow her suf
}non upon me than arryother candidate; that
Ohio would give her vote to no candidate
reriding in the Slave States, but to me; that
(il l
there i a better prospect than has heretofore
-at any t me existed, that Pennsylvania would
unite with them; that no candidate can be el
1-Cere- ithout the ' concurrence -of -two of
these three States; and none could be deci
ded pan on whom all of them could be
united; that great numbers 'of our fellow-citi
zens, both of native
.and foreign . birth, who
were deceived-and 'therefore voted agatest
me at the last election, are now eager for
an opportunity of bestowing their suffrages
upon me; and while there is a strong and de
cided preference for roe, entertained by the
great body of the Whig party throehou( the
United States, they, the blends to whoni
refer, at the same time are convinced that I
am more available than troy candidate that
could be'presented to the American people.
"I do not pretend to vouch the accuracy of all
these representations, although -I do-not en
tertain a doubt that they have been honestly
made, and are sincerely believed. '
It has beep, moreover, urged to me that the
great obligation under which I have been
hitherto placed by a large portion of the peo
ple of-the United States, the full force of
which no one Gan be more sensible of than
I -am; , -demands that -I Should not • withhold
the use of my name, it it should Ira required,
and I have _been reminded of frequent de
clarations which I have made, that while
life and health remain, a.man is bound to
render his best services upon the cull of his
country.
Since my return home, I have anxiously
deliberated upon my duty to myself, to my
prinaiples, to my friends, and above all to
My country. The conOict between my un-'
affected desire .to continue in private file, as
most congenial to my feelings and condition,
and my wish faithfully to perform. all .my
public duties, has been painful an embar
rassing If I refuse the use of thy name,
and those injurious consequences should en
sue which have been so confidently predic
ted by thy. friends, t should justly incur their
reproaches, and the reproaches of my own
heart; and if, on the contrary, I should as
sent to the use of 1 . 4 name, whatever the
result may be, I shall escape both. I have
therefore, finally decided to leave to die Na
tional Convention, which is to assemble next
June, the consideration of my-name in con
nection with such others as may he present
ed to it, to make a selection of a suitable
oandidate for the Presidency of the United
States; and whatever may be the issue of if,
its fair and lull deliberations will meet with
my prompt and cheerful acqiiiescence. It
will be seen from what I have stated that
there was reason to anticipate thUt t would
decline giving my consent to the use of my
name again as a candidate for the Presiden
cy of thwilirlted:-States. ()Wing, perhaps to
this as well as other causes, many of my
friends and felolw-citizens have avowed
their preterence for, and directed their atten
tion to, the distinguished names of other cit
izens of the United
. States. I take pleasure
)n truly declararing, that I have no regrets
to express, no
. complaints, no reproaches to
make, on acconnt ot,any such preferences,
which I am fully persuaded ate•founded on
honest and pat tone con v iet ions .
HENRY CLAY.
ASHLAND, April 10, 1848. .
It seems pretty evident from the COMO of,
publio opinion.as shown in the appointment
of delegates to the Philadelphia Convention,
thatlir. Clay's friendi will have a power
ful controlling influence 'in fat body, and
his nomination. may be therefore regarded us
almost "manifest destiny." In that case it
behooves the Convention to look carefully
about for the, best and strongest name for
the second place on the ticket. The Bug
gestiontas been made by a prominent Whig,
and if it is practicable we for one should
most cordially 'approve of it, to nominate
.Gen, WINFIELD Scoir
,s; the Whig can did ate
for the Vice Piesideney, While tt e friends
:orillenry Clay are clinging to him with
that !ineVer-iiii:die". feeling, Which All not
abandon the hope of his election, the hearts

in riatron by the proceedings of the Court,

iiThp' •extraordinary picture is presented, tot
the trial, fpr military misdemeanor, of the
Commander-in-Chief of a victorious army,
in the capithl of, an enemy captured by his
skill"—a commander arrested by a •Presi;
dent who seems to be incapable of appre
ciating the difficulties of his 'position-7(la
unities magnified by his imbecility, or some
thing worse—and which the General, over
came by- his great genius and his dauntless .
courage. It is one of the marvels of this
war that such a man, who might naturally
have hoped, Ariel' having triumphantly en
countered tne:fatigues and perils of an rirda
ous campaign, in the very heart pt a foreign
country, to haveeeturtied to his native land
hailed' by the plaudits of his couptrymen,and
. greeted by the thanks of his Government,
uNide has apprripriated to itself the glory of his
Vieds—we say it is one of the marveis of the
war, that this victorious teneral' finds him
self "a prisoner at large" in Mexico, ar
raigned, before a CoutL of: lnUttiry, all :his,
juniors, and one•at least OT them a Soldier
only by courtesy, "badgered by his subordi
nates, and stripped of command by his,con
stitutional superior." But strange as is this
spectable, we predict that Gen:-Scott: will
come forth from 'the Ininace into-which•he
has been cast by his enemies, powerful as
they are in station, Without the smell of foe
upon his garments."' •
The army correspondent of the N.VreF
cent writes to that paper in the subjoioed
IMEM
"It is beyond doubt that the President hes
treated the General badly. A Brigadier Gen
eral broke open his despatches to Taylor, at
Monterey, and their ihiportance being buz
zed about, the bearer, a gallant officer of the
army, was overtaken and killed at Villa
Grande, the despatches sent to Santa Anna,
and he advised of 'the withdrawal of the
regular troops, marched at once from San
Luis to Encarnation, and shortly alter fought
Taylor at Buena Vista. For this high of
fence of opening a
.public document, Gen.
Scott preferred charges and sent them to the
Secretary of War. But no court was ordered.
After the capthie of the city, he deemed it
necessary for the good of the service, to arrest
three officers of the army, and again sent
chart!es to Washington.„Thstime he hoped
urt Martial would be called, but he was
mistaken., One of the
. arrested, who had.
preferred charges against him, was released
without a trial, whilst a Court of Inquiry was
ordered to inquire into the charges preferred
by the one released.. Under the eircum
stances, can you wonder that Scott feels
chagrined? Can you wonder that the proud
spirit which bore him from victory to victory
in this valley has been partially. broken,and
the firm step which was wont to tread the
earth, so proudly, has been changed to the
slow pace of the disconsolate? . I confess
that my heart bled when 1 saw Winfield
Scott standing before the 1101171, fl 81'48118r (to
use his own language.) I could scarcely
realize, the fact. To see him there amongst
those -he had accused, "scrambling for ins.
(ice," impressed me with a feeling I cannot
portray. I thought of the last six months, of
the great services• rendered his country, and,
for the moment, thought applicable the say._
ing, that " Republics aro ungrateful." I
thought of the battles in this valley—from
Contreras to the Nanonar Patrice—of the time
when things looked the darkest, and he
showed himself to the troops—what cenfi•
donee it inspired in them, and how cheer.
cully they v:ould move forward to attack the
foe—sanguine of success when he directed.
I contrasted those times with the present,
and it was painful. I never Saw him look
sorrowful till then. IVhen Churubusco was
being stormed, and he had sent his body
guard to the fight, and when the only ie.
serve regiment—the Rifles—were ordered
to the support of Shields; then, when the
last were disposed of—when the hardest had
to fend nfl—there was an anxiety in his lace,
but, nought like sorrow. I soon had the
pleasure, then, to see him smile, for the le•
gions of Santa Anna had been put to flight
by his well directed columns. But there
was nothing of that sort to change the coun
tenance in the Court of Inquiry. He entered
it sorrowfully, and left it without a change.
It is true that his lip would curl with disdain,
occasionally during the progress of the trial,
but then it would again resume its melan
choly."
Is not such treatment as this—treatment
which has destroyed the happiness, and
broken the health of this great General—al
culafed to arouse the indignation of the Am
er:can people against his persecutors ? Shall
IVINFIELD SCOTT be sacrificed to such
machinations?
CLAY AND VAN BUREN.—The Whigs of
New York celebrated Mr. Clay's birth day
by a public dinner. It was ari enthusiastic
iiffair, and went off with great eclat. Mr.
Van Huron, who happened to be sojourning
in the city, was invited to be present. He
addresged the follotving letter to the Com
mittee. It is alike 'honorable to Mr. Vrut
Buren, and due his eminent friend, that he
should thus step acroso the narrow - eon fiiniti
of partizan` animosity, 'and bear testimony to
the gallant bearing and lofty virtues of a
political opponent. This
.letter conveys
a moral, which may be studied with profit.

To you who.understand the matter so well

The Redoubtable Pillow!
If President Polk's Court of Inquiry-has
failed in its' iniquitous scheme to blast the
character of Gen. Scott, it is nevertheless
likely to result in a very effectual "uaing:Op"
of the valiant corn-field hero, Gen. Gideon
LPillow—the man who boasts that he made..
Polk the. nominee at Baltimore. -The N. 0.
Bulletin in spiaking of . the .proceedings of
,
the court, says— • •
"Major Gen.. Pillow's case then came on
the carpet, and certainly it opens rich, par
tieularly•as regards the Leonidas letter, the
original draft of which was at once clearly
brought home, not only to-the knowledge of
Gen. Pillow, but that heactually handed-the
unsealed manuscript, with interlineations in
his own handwriting '
16 Mr. Freaner, (Mos
ung)• addressed, and to be.foiwarded to the
Delta, stating that he wished it. sent off, so
as to give the first 'impressions. He alter
wards wanted' to withdraw the document
from Mr. Frearier, but the latter refused to
part With it."
By the last arrival from Mexico we have
Mr. Trist's testimony. That of Mr. Freaner
was bad enough.. That of Mr. Trat is con-:
clusive—it. is overwhelming. It must be
remembered that Mr. T. was, and still is, for
his commission seems never to have been
revoked, 'ft 'high 'diplothatic futielibbary and
the confidential agent *tif-the President, Gen
Pillow% friend i and it appears that he wan
even i•prejailiced" hr Gen. P.'s " favor,"
having been "placed upon very intimate
personal relations" with him by the Presi
dent,' and preserved * those relations until
shocked into contempt by who! he calls "the
unimaginable and incomprehensible base
ness of his character," and the discovery of
a "scheme of villainy,"—"a scheme of im
posture for passing himself oft upon the
country fot a skilful and able general,"—and
an attempt even to render Mr. Tfist himself,
"an accomplice and tool in villainy." What
Mr. Trist alludes to drill be found in the fol
lowing answer, made to a question by the
Court of Inquiry, which. we. take from-the
reported proceedings: .
.''The scheme of villany to which 1 allude
was a scheme of imposture for passing firm
selloff upon the country for a skilful general
rind able commander. The wayiu which I
was to be an accomplice-in that game—a,
tool iiilt—and,be led thus to deceive the
country and do injustice towards individuals,
was this: availing himself of 'the relations
established between us by the. President,
(alluded to' before) and of the character
which I cad enjoyed i with tho e who have
known me for great disdretion, he would
make me the confidential depository of his
views. in anticipation of events, 6.0 that, in
case of failure in the operations which took
pine
. tW .. should be a living witness, and
boun&toicome forward awsuch at his call to
the fact, that his military genius had pene
trated through the whole thing, arid that he
hail been opposed to everything that failed.
This game was pli.iyed by him throughout,
as l'alterwards on reflection perceived."

" OLD TIMER" ENTHUSIASM !—The
Philadelphia N. American says, We
have before us an old copy of the United
States Gazette, which gives an account
of various meetings held in different parts
of the country in honor of the triumphs
of the French Republic 'in 1792, and
particularly, the retreat of the Duke of
Brunswick. At Carlisle the bells were
rung all day, the Court House illumina
ted at night, with bonfires, transparencies
and inscriptions e such as «Let Man be
Free," e].Tyranny is about to Cease."— .
We presume our citizens have an equally
warm syitipathy with France now, but
as France in . 1792 did not realize the
•expettatien of our fathers by a long shot,
we wait, more coolly, but not less hope
fully, the result of the soberer and less
bloody revolution of 1848,
SOLDIER'S LAND WARRANTS.—We God
the following card from tho_Hon. J. E.
BRAM, member of Congress from this
district, in the last Chambersburg Whig.
Those to whom it is addressed will do
well to remember its precautionary Bug
'
gestions:
Messrs Editors :—Ha vi - ng learned that
derinin - perscirie are engaged, in Franklin
county, in purchasing from the represen
tatives of. soldieis, who have died in the
service of their country in Mexico, their
rights to Military land bounty warrants,
for comparatively small sums of money,
I deem it proper to state to those interes
ted, that all sales or transfers, going
to affect the claim or title to any such
bo_unty right, which have beek made
prior to the issuing of 'the warrant, are
declared null and void..by..the act of Con
gress. .1 caution those. in' my District
who have claims on the Government.for
land warrants; against parting with them
to speculators, who have spread them
selves throughout the country, and- who
are seeking to take advantage of the ne
cessitous and of those who are ignorant
of the law. I will cheerfully give the
necessary information to those entitled .to
warrants to enable them to procure the
same, and attend to the business in this
city, gratis.
