Taylor's Pledges Exposed. .
THE POSITION OF A NO PARTV MAX DEFENDED.
The following letter, says the Wash
ington Union, carries force with it, be
cause Its main statement is true. General
Taylor could never have been elected
without the vote of the Taylor democrats,
and he could never have obtained their
votes without the pledges which he gave.
We call the reader's attention particularly
to the correspondence which passed be
tween Mi. Lijpard and General Taylor
during the camlaign. The General's let
ter to Mr. L. las been frequently publish
ed, but Mr. Is letter to the General is
now for the fit time given to the world.
This letter shjds light upon the General's.
It shows whv the General wrote his let
ter, and hoivjt is to be interpreted.
Phadelphia, May 22, 1849.
"Will youardon me if I make bold to
say a few yrds with you in exlanationof
the reasonswhich induced me to support
you for thofllce of President of the Uni
ted States' These reasons may also give
some ideqpf the motives which swayed
hundreds!!" thousands of your fellow-citizens.
I am n politician. I never yet asked
for an ope, and certainly shall not ask
one at yur hands. In speaking to you,
I do notay claim to any political influ
ence, am backed by no clique: I con
trol no pdy of voters: I only speak to you
as a cipen of the United States, having
no infjence beyond my vote, and the
truth hich I utter.
In he year 1847, w hile a member of
the limocratic Association of the county
of Biladelphia, I began the first of a se
ries f four works upon the history of
Mejco. That first book of the series
was intended to comprise a history of
yet campaigns in Mexico. While wn
iin that work, I became vividly impressed
wui the frankness, the iron common sense
thi unwavering sincerity of your charac
ter. Sick of the warfare of parties, I
lo)ked to you as the man who had been
cled by Providence to put an end to the
Mercenary bitterness of this warfare, by
suming the position of "Washington
jot with parties, but in the hearts of the
people.
, And this idea of your character, embo
died in the work to which reference is
, made, was diffused by its pages among a
class of voters entirely distinct and separ
ate from the whig party: a class of voters
who, imbued wilh the progressive spirit of
Christianity, are opposed to the principles
of the whig party, as embodied in the
history of the whig corporation of Phila
delphia, and who are in favor of judicial
and national reform who advocate the
freedom of the public domain and the right
of labor to the harvest of its toil. This
idea induced me to desert my party asso
ciations, break party lines, and advocate
Zachary Taylor as the candidate of the
people.
In the month of April, 18 18, your chan
ces for the presidency were vague and un
certain. The whig politicians in Phila
delphia at least the most prominent of
them all fairly laughed at the mention of
your name in connection with that high
office. When the Baltimore Convention
assembled, it was the earnest hope of
thousands of the Democratic masses that
you would receive the nomination at the
hands of the representatives of the Demo
cratic party This hope proved fruitless.
But at the Whig Convention, assembled
in Philadelphia in June, 1848, party lines
were finally broken: the very spirit and
front of the Whig party were crushed.
Henry Clay, balloted for in the name of
the Whig party, failed to receive its votes,
and Zachary Taylor, nominated "in the
name of the people," was presented to the
people without any other platform than
his independence from the spirit and tram
mels of party."
Doubtless, you have often had descri
bed to you the scenes which marked the
history of tins June Convention the dis
may of the Whig politicians of the verita
ble Whig school the curses, both loud
and deep, with which they breathed your
name the tliree-fold sacrifice of Whig
principles, Whig platforms, ami Henry
Clay, at the feet of Zachary Taylor.
Nominated at this convention amid the
ruins of Whigism, and nominated in the
name of the people, the Whig party did
not dare to claim you as a veritable Whig,
ot the true Whig stamp, nntil the 5th of
July, 1848, when news came to Philadel
phia that Hon. Bailie Peyton had, in New
Orleans, solemnly endorsed you as a
Whig, and placed your feet somewhere
amid the ruins of the demolished Whig
platform.
I his statement gave inexpressible pain
to thousands of your friends in Pennsylva
nia. Well aware that you had not been
nominated as the candidate of any party,
certain that you could not by any chance
oc ciecipu ;n tne name or on the platform
of the Whig party, your friends I speak
oi tne masses, who loved you for vour
self and for your independent position
rcceivea tne statement ot Mr. Peyton with
an emotion that was not to be mistaken or
evaded. They felt that either Mr. Pey
ton was in error, or that Zachary Taylor
had falsified his often-repeated pledges.
Under the influence of this wide-spread
feeling, I made bold to write and send to
you the following letter. Its very abrupt
ness of style indicates the sincerity which
impelled its composition:
Philadelphia, July 5, 1848.
General; Will you regard a word from
a friend as impertinent or obtrusive? It
is after a great deal of reluctance that I am
induced to trouble you again; but having
faith in you now, a3 I have had ever since
I pledged what literary reputation I pos
.Jerw to you in my book "The Legends
f Mexico, or Battles of Taylor" I mike
bold to say a frank word to the general of
the people.
This is the case. With thousands of
Democrats in this State, I depend upon
your declaration "that you would in no
case be the President of a party, but the
President of the people." On this ground
the Democrats ot Pennsylvania will vote
for you by hundreds and thousands.
But we are now told that you are ex
clusively the Whig candidate, to be run as
a Whig, elected as a Whig, and under
Whig issues.
If this be the case, the State of Penn
sylvania will be lost to Taylor and the
country.
I do not believe this to be the case.
Those who think with me in this country
do not believe it. But to set the matter
at rest, will you answer this letter with
one line? and with mat line the Demo
cratic hundreds and thousands of Penn
sylvania will move in a body for you.
General, do not reject this appeal from
a man who loves you for your battles,
and the moral grandeur displayed in them;
but loves you, first and last, because you
have taken the position of Washington
not with parties, but in the hearts of the
people.
And as for the line, say simply: " am
still the candidate, not of a party exclu
sively but if a ca?ididate at all, the can
didate of the whole people.
GEORGE LIPPARD.
Here, General, was the whole case,
plainly stated in a line. You are here
told that if the attempt was made to elect
you as a YY hig, and upon the Whig issues
the State of Pennsylvania would certainly
be lost to Taylor and the country. At
that time, with thousands of Democrats, I
believed that your election as the candi
date of the people would subserve the best
interests of the country. And what was
your reply to this letter, which appealed
to the best feelings of your nature? On
the 9th of August I received your answer,
which I annex:
Private
Baton Rouge, (La.) July 24, 1848.
Dear Sir, You letter of the Gth inst.,
asking of me a line or two in regard to my
position as a candidate for the Presidency,
has been duly received.
In reply, I have to say that I am NOT
a party candidate, and if elected, shall
not be the President of a party, but
the President of the whole people.
I am, dear sir, with high respect and
regard, your most obedient servant,
Z. TAYLOR.
George Lippard, Esq., Philadelphia Pa.
This you well remember, was after you
had accepted the Whig nomination, in a
letter which said nothing at all about whig
principles.
The publication of your letter of July
2 i created a great excitement
among
the
people and the politicians.
Whig papers in New York denounced
it as a "locofoco" forgery. The North
American, in Philadelphia, (once the or
gan of Henry Clay, and now the northern
organ of the Secretary of State,) seized
upon the word "Private," and in weary
columns assailed the person to whom the
letter was addressed, as the betrayer of
your confidence. Other journals, how
ever, which circulated among the masses,
hailed this letter with unqualified appro
val, and placed it at the head of their col
umns as "the great creed and watchword
of the Taylor party."
I must frankly tell you, that had you
not made the declaration embraced in this
letter, I, for one, could not have advocated
your election, nor given you my vote.
Certain it is, that without this declaration,
(soon followed by your Charleston letter,)
you could not have gained the vote oi
Pennsylvania, famous for her old Demo
cratic majority of "twenty-five thousand."
What was the result of this letter, and
of the excitement immediately consequent
upon its publication? The Whig party in
Pennsylvania forthwith dropped the very
name of Whig. They stored it away
perchance under the sepulchre of Girard s
squandered bequest, maybe under the ru
ins ot some broken bank but you well
know, and every reader of the papers
knows, that in the late campaign the battle
was fought, not under the name of Whig,
but under the united names of "Taylor
and r lllmore.
The Democrats were asked to vote for
you as the Independent candidate the
candidate of the people as the man who
had no mends to reward, no enemies to
punish in fact, Zachary Taylor, who, in
case of his election, would not be Presi
dent of a party, but the President of the
whole people.
And wilh your letter in my hand, I ad
dressed thousands of my Democratic fel
low-citizens, and, on the security of your
unbroken faith, stated that you could not,
in any event, become the President, much
less the creature, of a party. Upon your
own solemn declaration, I honestly advo
cated you as "the President of the whole
people."
I did not for a moment indulge the
thought that you could ever become the
centre of a mere party administration.
Had I been told by you, that you would
ever become the head of an administration
made up of Whig politicians, I could not,
in any case, have advocated your claims,
nor would you have received the votes of)
a hundred Democrats in Pennsylvania.
Now, General, the smoke of the con
test has cleared away. You are the Pres
ident. Elected upon the faith of your
solemn pledges, you are at the head of the
government.
nave you iuinuea these pledge
your own heartcall back ttfi jron pUr,
pose, mat ciear-souled lntfo-rity, which
bore you through the cajPn9se Gf Buena
Vista survey the faces f vour cabinet.
and the faces of thoVZTznn3 0f VQUr
cabinet, who now storm the White House
for the spoils of office. Answer me!
have a right to ask an answer. You
pledged your faith to me, an humble citi
zen, and I believed you, and told my fellow-citizens
that you had never broken
your word, and could not forget to-morrow
what you pledged to-day.
Was that letter of July 24, which I
bore through Pennsylvania, only a cun
ningly devised fable? Was it your inten
tion to send me lorth to the masses of the
people with a lie m my mouth? To
vouch for your "independence of nartv"
in October, to find you in May at the head
of a mere cabal of a party? Did you
make a dupe ot me, so that 1 might be
come your agent in duping and swindling
my fellow-citizens into the trammels of
the whig party?
You know that the Whig party of itself,
or by its own issues, could never have ac
complished your election. You know
that the Whig leaders, fresh from the
slaughter of Henry Clay of that man
who has for twenty-four years sacrificed
to Whigism the best instincts which God
implanted in his nature could never have
elevated you to the presidential chau.
You wem elected hy Democratic votes.
These votes were secured to you by the
force of your independent position. They
were not bought with silver, gold, or the
hope of office, but won to you by your
pledges.
And now, sir, you will allow me to ask
you one or two questions:
In what part of your administration are
these Democratic votes represented?
Among the army of office-hunters who
now besiege the doors of the White House
how many of your Democratic supporters
can you discover?
Sir, the truth must be told; and as I
supported you earnestly and sincerely, I
will speak the truth -with most uncourtly
frankness. -1
Your election has been fruitful only in
discontent and dissatisfaction. Elected in
the name of the people, you are surroun
ded by advisers chosen not even from the
manhood of the Whig party, but from the
veriest hacks and trimmers. These ad
visers seek to entail upon the country, on
a colossal scale, system of error and
misrule, such as disgraced the age in the
shameless expenditure of the Girard be
quest by the Whig corporation of Phila
delphia. Had you been elected as a Whig, and
upon the strength of any known Whig
creed, I would not complain. Is it not a
painful thought, that you, the man of the
people, should sit there in Washington as
the leader of the mere fragment of a party
as the embodiment not of a Whigism
like that of Henry Clay, which states its
principles and fights its battles m the sun,
but of a Whigism which works in dark
ness, gathers strength by unholy coalitions
and builds its power upon broken
pledges?
And now, sir, as I wash my hands ot
the last traces of political I aylorism, as I
state my regret that I ever acted the part
which your pledges made me act, you at
least must admit that I never served you
with the hope of office that I have al
ways been among that humble band who,
working well and long for you, under the
impression that they also wonted for the
good of their country, could neither ask
nor accept office at your hands; for those
hands which were free at Buena Vista
free in the late campaign are now tied
by the trammels which have been lash
ioned from the very ruins of the Whig
party.
GEORGE LIPPARD.

THE FRENCH NEWS.
The closing meetings of the National
Assembly were taken up by discussions
on the Italian Question, in which the Min
istry finally obtained a majority of 38.
It would seem from the statements made
on the subject that M. Odillon Barrot did
not give any instructions to Gen. Oudinot,
recommending the occupation of Rome at
all, and it had been determined that the
expedition should proceed to Civita Vec
chia and there remain as a moral check on
the advance of the Neapolitans and Aus
trians, and only to march onward in case
of absolute necessity.
I he ministry were not, however, unani
mous in this; and it is feared that Gen.
Oudinot was influenced in his conduct by
the advice of a certain faction, of which
M. de Fuloni is the head.
On Saturday, in reply to an attack by
M. Flocon, it was stated, that as soon as
the government heard that the Russians
were to interfere in Germany; they' wrote
at once to London, St. Petersburg, Berlin,
and Vienna. They considered it a cir
cumstance which must be deplored.
They would endeavor to annul it by dip
lomatic means, and if they should fail the
government would then apply to the Na
tional Assembly lor its advice and counsel.
In consequence of a vote of censure by
the Assembly, M. Leon Fouches, Minis
ter of the Interior, resigned his portfolio
into the hands ot the President, and it is
said that several others of the Ministery

ITALY DEFEAT OF THE NEA
POLITANS.
The Austrians entered the Papal States
on the North, and Marshal Winpain
threatens with fire and sword, all those
who resist him. .In the South, the Nea
politans were advancing for the same pur
pose, but the Romans met their vanguard
at Albino, and defeated them. The Nea
politan force consisted of a body of 10,000
troops, and after a short conflict, threw a
way their arms and fled.
The Romans have taken 50 prisoners
and 2 pieces of artillery, with which they
entered Rome on the evening of the 5th
inst. ;
Request of the Pope to withdraw the
French Troops from Rome.- Pope Pius
on hearing of the resistance of the Romans,
is said to have declared that he would not
return to Rome at such a price, and to
have sent a message in consequence to Na
ples, and to Gen. Oudinot, to induce them
to withdraw their troops.
Reinforcement to Gen. Oudinot.
In the meantime Gen. Oudinot has been
reinforced by many thousand troops, and
he has now probably a new appointed ar
my of 20,000 men . under his command,
but the enthusiasm of the Romans is rais
ed to the highest pitch, and if a single, or
combined attempt to bombard and take
Rome by storm could be made, the defence
of the city by means ot barricade, and by
the courage of the people - will be so well
maintained that the Austrians are by no!
means certain of success.
Wn Jmvfi before us most frightful details
of the priests being dragged forth by the
populace, from their hiding places, and
put to death. Their bodies have been
hacked into the smallest pieces; and thrown
into the Tiber.
The combined powers of Europe will
scarcely be able ever to set up his Holiness
ao-ain on the throne of the Vatican. The
tide of feelimr has overflowed him, and the
Romans seem now bent on excluding sa
cerdotal and political authority.
Intelligence by telegraph has been re
ceived from Gen. Oudinot to the 13th inst.,
at which time there was a strong probabil
ity of the French troops being permitted
to'enter Rome without opposition. In the
de'spatch, the General says, "Serious pro
positions of submission are made to me.
Already, the authors of safety to the Ro
mans, the 700 French prisoners at Lome,
were accompanied to Palo, with all possi
ble joy.
A letter in the Times announces the
landing at Finimiso, of a Spanish force,
which was marching towards Rome.
A Tixh attempt is being made at Paler
mo, to et up an. armed resistance against
the Neapolitans, but it appears of doubtful
success.
ULTIMATUM OF THE PEOPLE
The Austrians had not entered Bologna
at the date of the last accounts, they had
possession of some of the gates, and the
surrender was hourly expected. The
Bolognese defended themselves nobly.
They had offered to acknowledge the
Pope, on c ondition that he would consent
to dismiss all the Priests from his govern
ment, but the Austrian commander replied
that subjects could not be permitted to
dictate conditions to their sorereigns.
At Venice Radetzky had gone further
than this. The Venitians asked for an
armistice, in order that they might obtain
the mediation of France, to which they
had applied. He answered that the Em
peror is master, and would never permit a
foreign power to interfere between him
and his rebellious subjects.
AUSTRIAN DEFEAT.
The Austrians were repulsed on the 8th
inst., in an assault, and the Venitian6 ac
counts stale that they made a sally and
took 800 prisoners, which needs confir
mation. The Emperor of Russia reached St.
Petersburg from Moscow on the 1st inst.
1 he troops had already marched into Gal-
lacia, en route for Hungary, to the assist
ance of the Austrians. Their force con
sists of 120,000 men, and 350 cannons,
and 25,000 cavalry.
Gen. Bern is well prepared to give them
a warm reception in Transylvania, and
there will be work before it is over.
Gorley has posted about notices that
whoever refuses to take bank notes shall
be branded.
GERMANY.
Russia has followed the lead of Austria,
and withdrawn her delegates from Frank
fort. The other principal powers will
doubtless do the same.
The Grand Duke of Baden has been
obliged to fly from his capital.
In Elberfield, Dusseldorf, Hager, Ose-
luim, and in all the market towns in Rhe
nish Prussia, the insurgents had erected
barricades, and made the Constitution a
pretence for tumult.
COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE
GERMAN STATES AND AUS
TRIA. At Berlin a sort of Congress has asscm
bled, and Baron Gagern's scheme of two
German Federal States has been revived,
a double confederation to be the basis.
Austria consents to a closer connection
with Germany. The German States and
Austria are never to wage war against each
other. They are to form a defensive al
liance, and a foreign war may be carried
on by either power. If this power does
not succeed in proving to the other that its
interests are materially involved in the dis
pute, the Emperor of Austria and the
King of Prussia, as hereditary chiefs of the
new German r ederal States, are to ap
point Commissioners who are to act and
advise as the Executive power of the two
Governments. The scheme has now re
ceived the attention of Europe, but its re
alization depends on many contingencies-
Morc California Particulars.
DIAMONDS AND EMERALDS FOUND.
We learn from the New York Tribune
of Wednesday morning, that Mr. Parrott,
our consul at Mazatlan, is now hi" that
city, having left Mazatlan April 10, and
come overland through Mexico.
He reports having met with companies
continually during his overland journey.
The road to the Pacific is lined with them
and they are all, so far as he saw, doing
well.
There were four or five vessels at Ma
zatlan and two or three at San Bias, for
California. The price of passage varied
from $50 to $250, according to the ac
commodations. Mr. Parrott's visit to the placers was
undertaken for the purpose of informing
himself, and his revelations are even more
astonishing than any which have previ
ously reached us.
The limits of the placers toward the
south arc constantly being extended by
new discoveries; the northern districts,
owing to their remoteness from civiliza
tion, have not yet been fully explored.
The earth, in some places, have been dug
to the depth of 0 feet, and the proportion
of gold found to be quite as great as on the
surface.' The richness of the dry diggins
is in some places almost incredible. Mr.
Parrott estimates that the amount of gold
vLich wjlbe obtained the err"- 77
thirty million dollars. " ' Br1
But the richness of California do n
consist in gold alone. All the preciou
metals are there found, in greater or le
profusion, as well as the rarest and molt
valuable jewels. Two mines of silver t
but few persons, who jealously keep th
secret. Platinum is also known to exist
in considerable quantities.
A rough diamond, nearly the size of i
hen's egg, has been found by one of the
miners in the Sacramente Valley. Geo.
Vallcio, who was Mr. Parrott's informant
says that it was brought to him by the
finder, who demanded $180,000 for it.
Emeralds of large size are frequently met
with, but their value is scarcely known.
Three or four new quicksilver mine
have been discovered, one of which, a very
rich deposit, lies between the vallev nt
Santa Clara and San Joaquin. The For-
bes mine, however, is the only one worked i
as yet. The extent and value of these '
quicksilver mines is not equalled by any
other locality in the world. .
Beds of coal have also been found near I
the coast, but cannot of course be worked i'
under the present state of things. t
Mr. Parrott informs us that in the Sierra
Navada, to the north east of San Francis
co, there is a volcano in active operation.
On the 3d of March the heaviest snow
storm in the memory of the inhabitants
took place.
There are but 50 women in the town of
San Francisco, 20 of whom are Amcri
cans. The price of lots in the town is, as be
fore stated, enormous. The sales took
place, however, with litde regard to the
title of property, and as there are two or
three separate claims upon a great part of
it, this may lead to great difficulty in the
future. Sometimes the same land is sold
to different parties by two Alcaldes.
Ihe U. . sloop of war Dale, which
sailed from San Francisco for the U. S- on
the 20th March, has $200,000 in jrold
dust on board.
Nearly the whole of Capt. Sutter's 40,-
000 bushels of grain rotted in the fields,
for the want of somebody to harvest it.
The price of flour at the diggings when
Mr. Parrott left was $30 per lb., though
at San Francisco it was down to $10 per
barrell.
There was not much sickness at the
diggings, except scurvey and a few cases
of fever. Tbere was also some scurvey
at San Francisco, owin lo the want of vege
table food, the cultivation of the sou being
entirely neglected.
