Wantoxsess oftheTories. The tories in the Baltimore Convention were fully aware that the whig would nominate "Old Rough! and Ready," whose motto is'never surrender. It was therefore in mere wantonness of tpirit that Ihey selected to oppose him, oue who ceT er did any thing but surrender." CQr copy the following from the N. Or leans Picayune, of the 2Glh ult. It will be seen that it puts an effectual stop to the absurd rumors, recently put afloat and so industriously circulated: Gen. Tatlor. The undersigned, whose names are affixed to the card hereto appended, make this publication at the special instance and request of Gen, Taylor himself. From Buudry articles which have appeared in several of the public journals of the city of New Orleans, Gen. Taylor is given to understand that persons claiming to apeak for him, have produced the imnrecsion that be is not satisfied with what Judge Saunders and the other members of the Louhlaca Delegation to the National Whig Convention, who acted with him, saw fit to do and say in that body in his (Gen. Taylor's) behalf; and that he repudiates such acts and saying. Did these rumors and reports affect only himself, Gen. Taylor would not trouble the puMic concerning them; but as they affect, whether so intended or not, the good report and candor of gentlemen whose partiality for him has made them objects of re proach and suspicion, he feels constrained by a sense of duty and ju3tice, to authorize them to be met by a distinct and peremptory de nial. "A CAnn. We are authorized by Gen. Tay lor to say that the course of the Louisiana Del ecation in the Whig Contention lately assem bled at Philadelphia, meets with his entire, full and unequivocal approbation. That he not only never doubled, but Lever intimated a doubt that his honor and reputation were safe in their hands. Baue Beytos, Logan Huxtox. A. C. Bullitt." "June 23, 18 IS." The Van Bikes Meeting. The Cincinnati Signal, the Democratic Barnburner organ in Cincinnati, gives the following account of the Van Buren meeting recently held in that city. It will be seen that it was almost entirely com posed of Democrats. Cass stands no earthly chance of getting the vote of Ohio. The Ratification meeting on Saturday even ins. was a elorious outpouring of the Demo cralic masses. Thousand upon thousands were there, and a more enthusiastic, yet order ly assembly, we have never seen. It was the largest public meeting that has been held in Cincinnati for many years, and the repeated and deafening cheers lor our noble and standard bearer. Martin Van Buren, evinced the hold which lie haa upon tht People. One thing was noticeable about the meeting Of the officers and the committee, all of whom have been straight-laced Democrats heretofore. more than half are young men under thirty vears of ace.

1 How the Moset Goes. We clip the fol

lowing paragraph from the iScw York Express: Senator A. P. Bacby's nomination to the Court of Russia, or as.it is - here designated, "the courr of honorable exile. has bee u con firmed by the Senate. 1 Mr. Ingersoll, his pre decessor, recalled at his own request, has been in Russia about a year, aud received for this. as outfit, 69,000; infil, 62250; office rent and extras, 62,000, and, sat a year s salary, 69,000 total, 622,250, nearly equal to the salary of the President of the United atatea. And puttine to this Mr. Bdgby'a outfit, &9.000, we have an expenditure of 631,250 for the Russian mission in about a year! Now take the Mexican mission outfit to Messrs. Clillord and bevier, 618,000; salary and extras for three months, say 67000; iulit to Sevier, 62250 total, 627, 250. Thus we have, tor fifteen month a diplo ma tic service, a craud total of 619,500, exclu sive of the salaries of secretaries of legation. Mr. Bagby has had, in addition, the cood luck to procure a place for one of his sons at Wen torn i. Ma im s Van Buret's Nomination Its Consequences The Cestiaktt or Genebal Tailor's Electiox. The Locofoco party made the Mexican war; the war brought up the W 11 mot proviso as a practical question; the Wil mot proviso has caused the nomination of Martin Van Buren for the Presidency; and the nomination of Van Buren renders certain the utter prostration of the Locofoco party in the approaching election. It is thus that a deed ot stupendous guilt has resulted by a direct 1 r . T. 5 - . 1 - 1 1 cnain 01 consequences 111 uie signal pumsn meut of its euilty authors. We find all the Kastern papers full of speculation as to the probable effects of Mr. Van Bureu's becoming a candidate, for the Fresi dency, but none of them seem really to enter aina doubt that it insures the defeat of Cass by a perfectly annihilating majority. The eener al impression at the East is that Cass will no net a solitary State in the Union. Even his warmest friends scarcely attempt to hide thei utter despair under the guise of their furious ravings at Mr. van lijren, I ne ico:oco party iu New Yoik, in the "five New England States, in ftewr Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylva nia, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, am -II L .1! 1 I L Tl Misconsin, win oe umueu oeiween an iu . a m a 1 ren and Cass, so mat uen layior will carry those States almost without a contest. As for the South, he will sweep through it as vie toriously as be sweps from the Rio Grande to Uuena v ista. We believe he will be elected by a majority utterly without parallel in the whole history ol cou tested rresutential elec lions Such at least are the present indications. We now strongly lucline to the belief, that b.'fore November, the Locofocos will virtually yi.dd the contest, and, that the best of them will unite in Gen. Taylor's support. We con gratulate them that they can support him without doing violence to their own feelings?, know ing as they do that he is a good man aud a patriot, one who has rendered glorious services to his country, who is pledged to be President of the nation and not of a party, and who would not break a pledge to save his life. Lou. Jour, Gen. Tillow's Wound. We learn from an officer who was within a few feet of Fillow, when he tumbled to the ground in one of the battles before the city of Mexico, bellowing like a calf with a pretended wound, that the ditch digger received no real injury, and that a man 01 ordinary nrmness ana ueierminauon would have continu. rtat the head ol his troops. Three days after the battle, Pillow's leg ex hibited no traces ot a wound ol any ktud there was no contusion, no abrasion of the kin, uor scar of any kind. It see mi to have been merely lively apprehension ot a wound which disqualified the redoubtable Tennessee pettifogger from remaining at the head ct his division. If Mr. Polk ever sends the name of his pet to the Seuate for confirmation we shall have some queer revelations. Buffalo ExMost Revolting Chime. A crime of most abominable and shocking character has recent ly come to light in the town of East Bloom field. Ontario county. A brute by the name of Solomon Davis, ravished his own daughter, fourteen years old, several months since us ing violence to effect his hellish purposes. From that time till some weeks ago. this cri minality continued, when the condition of this hapless girl revealed to her mother the fact of her deep disgrace, and, when pressed todis close the party to whose artifices or power ehe had fallen a victim, she fixed the infamous crime upon her own Lühe who hadr threaten ed her with death in case she exposed him. Davis has been examined before justice Stiles, and committed to the Ontario jail to await his trial. Albany hxprut. Sxags and Sawyers. We understand that Gen. Cass has met with favor in at leas, one section of the West. The snags and sawyers i f the Mississippi river have held large and enthusiastic meetings, at which 'hey have de dared that they, iu convention assembled, re cognize in the nominee of the Baltimore con vention, a distinguished advocate and champi on of their best interests, and that they, most heartily approve of the resolution adopted by said convention which declares that the Con stitution of the United States does not confer upon the General Government the power to improve the navigation of the rivers of the West, thereby infringing upon the rights of fold settlersr"and they conclude by recominen ding the said nominee to all their friends, big and little, or other rivers who are deadly foes to commerce. Slad.lianntr.' OCTTbe Morris Jerseyroan tells a good story of a well known character vho frequently figured on juries in New York. Whilst on a jury, so soon as they had retired to their room to deliberate, he would button up his coat and tum in" on a beuch, exclaiming. "I'm for bringing in a verdict for plaiotiff, (or defendant, as he had settled in his mind, ) and all cretion can't move me. Therefore, as soon as yon have "all agreed with me, wake me up, and we'll go in." - . CC5"In the hurry ol a daily business, little mistakes w jll unavaidably happen now and then.

. From the Pittsburg Gazette. GENERAL TAYLOR'S CHARACTER. Mr. Crittenden's speech to the friends of

Taylor and Fillmore, at Murry'a Yard, on Fri day evening, was almost wholly an eloquent, warm-hearted eulogy of the character of treii. Taylor, public and private. A few of the points commented on, are as loitows : e ao not pretend to give the exact language.) GENERAL TATLOR IS A WHIG. This, the speaker said, he declared from his own knowledge. He is a Whig, a good Whig, a thorough Whig. 1 know him to be a Whig, but not an ultra YV nig. All his political feel ings are identified with the Whig party. GEN. TAYLOR IS AN HONEST MAN. On the uprightness of Gen. Taylor's charac ter, Mr. Crittenden dwelt with great earnestness, as a trait which he knew, felt, and admir ed. He said he was emphatically an honest man, and dehed the opponents of the old sol dier to bring ought agaiust him, impeaching his uprightness, iu all his transactions, during a public life of forty rears. His appearance , . . . - , t . ,. ana manners Dear tne impress 01 sucn sterling honesty, that peculation, meanness, aud ras cality are frightened from bis presence. Oen Twigo, who has been on the habits of intimate personal intercourse with him, said to the speaker lately, that there was not a man in the world, who bad been in the company ol General Taylor five minutes, who would dare make an improper proposition to him. Dishouestv flees lrom his presence. GEN. TATLOtt IS A MAN Of CHEAT ABILITIES. His whole military life gave evidence of this. He never committed a blunder, or loit a battle. There is not another man in the ar my who would have fought the battle of Buena Vista but General Taylor and not another who would have won it. " Examiue the whole history of exploits, in their details, and you see the evidence ol far-reaching sagacity, ami great ability. OEN. TATLOR IS MAN Or LEARNING. Not mere scholastic learning he has never graduated a college but his mind is richly stored with that practical knowledge, which is acquired from both men and books. He is a deeply read man, in alt ancient and modern tmtory, and in all matters relating to the practi cal duties of life, civil and military. He is in timate with Plutarch, said the speaker a Plu tarch hero himself, as bright as ever adorned the pages of history. Gen. Gibson you al know aud love Gen. Gibson one of your own Pennsylvanians, a man whose reputation for truth and honor was proverbial, and w hose word was always the end of controversy, so implicitly was it relied upon uen. Gibson has told him, that he and Gen. Taylor had en tered the army nearly together, and had served together almost constantly, until he, Gibson retired, and that during that time, they hac sat together 011 seventeen Court Marlials; many of the in important and intricate cases, aud in every single instance, Zachary Taylor has been appointed to draw up the opinion of the Court a brilliant testimony to his superior abili ties, and ripe learning and practical know l edge. GEXERAL TAYLOR S IICMANITT AND SIMPLICITY Or CHARACTER. Gen. Tavlor is a plain unassuming, unosten tatious, gentlemanly man. Then: is no pride no foppery, no airs about him. He possesses the utmost simplicity of character. When 111 the army he fared, just as his soldiers fared rat the same food slept under his tent, and underwent similar latigue for lb months in Mexico, never sleeping in a house one night. a a ins numapitv, kindness, ana simplicity 0 character won for him the love of his soldiers They could approach him at all times. He never kept a guard around bis tent, or any pomp or parade, lie trusted his soldiers, and they trusted and loved him in return. Not a drop of his soldiers blood was shed by him, during the campaign. All the blood shed under his direction was shed in battle. We hear of no military executions no judicial fchedding of blood. His heart moved to human woe, and he was careful of the lives of his soldiers, and humane to the erring, and to the vanquished foe. He is kind, noble, generous fueling a mend ol the masses there is 110 aristocracy about him he is a true Democrat. He wil adorn the White House, and shed new light over the false and lading Democracy of the day which has far gone iuto its sear and yellowleaf he will bring iu a ttue vigorous, verdant relrcshing Democracy. GENERAL TAYLOR PROSCRIBES NO MAX FOR OPIX ION SAKE. He is a good and true Whig, but he will pro scribe no man for ditTereuce of opinion. He hates, loathes proscription. He loves the free independent utterance of opinion. He has commanded Whigs and Demcrats on the fiel of battle has witnessed their patriotie devotion, and invisible courage, while standing together, shoulder to shoulder has seen them figlrt, bleed, and die tdgether, and God lorbid he should proscribe any roan on account of a difference of political sentiments. He wo as soon think, said the speaker, of running from a .Mexican ! GEXERAL TATLOn S POSITION. Some object to Gen. Taylor, said the speaker because he is lrom the öouth, and is a slave holder. Are we not one iteople? Dor you not love the Union? Have 1 not the same rights, asa Kentuckian to all the benefits of our glorious Union, that you have as Pensylvanians? ear? one people from '.he Atlantic to the Pacific; from our most Northern Line to the Rio Grande, we are one people it is all my opinion 11 is an yours. 1 nere is no countrr, there never was a country, like this. Rome, in her mightest days, never possessed so vast and splendid a country as this so grand, so great, so glorious. Our destiny is as glorious as our country, if we hold together, and do not suffer sectional prejudices to -divide us. We speak one language our identity is the same we are one consolidated people--and our success has hitherto been glorious unprecedented. Shill uiru uiviuc 111 ireiing; io, no: io matter where our men is from, if he js an American. Gen. Taylor in his feelings .kuows no aouth, no North, no Last, no W est. He is an American. Where has he lived? In his tent for forty years- His home has been for fort) years, under the starsand stripes of the Ameri can Ft'a! the flag of his whole country. He is a national man he has lived everyuhere. wnerever me nag wavei! lie is not a Southern man he is an American He proscribes no one, either of the North or South, aud will you proscribe him, for the accident of birth and home? He condemns no man for the institutions of his State. Will you condemn him? He is a kind, generous, noble old man a true American in heart. gex. tatlor's habits. lie is a temperate maiv he never drank a bottle of spirits in bis lite. His habits are exemplary. ccn. Taylor's inflexibility of character Finally, sain the speaker He is a man you cannot buy a man you cannot selln man you cannot ware and a man who never surrenders!

From the N. O. Crescent, June 2S. LATE FROM MEXICO. Concerning the attempted revolution of the

notorious Jaurauta, which we noticed a few ays since El Siglo Diez y Nueva,of the 17tli,. says: Ibis morning the Government received an extraordinary express from Guanajuato, stating that Gen. lanezhad left Guadalajara with bUJ men to join Geu. Minon, and that both would be put under the orders of Bustamente. 15y this means it is believed this Vandalic revolution will be extinguished and its authors sca verely punished. In the same paper we find an address of the iuca.ancommiS5iontrstotne n uunew their allegiance to the central adthori7' ! All of Gen. Patterson's division and the 4th Ohio and the 2d Illinois are now on the road to Vera Cruz. Gen. Worth with bis divi&ion slopped in Puebla until further orders, and Gen. Kearney, with his division in Percte. Ihe object in stopping these two divisions was lo avoik crowding Jalapa, and to keep them w here there was a sufficiency of forage and provisions. - . Gen. Butler and staff, Col. Sevier and suit, and the Commissary and Quartermaster Gens. arrived here at 1 o clock to-day having left reote this morning. I believe the General and Col. Setier will leave to-morrow or the next day for New Orleans. They left Mexito on the 12th, after the city had been surrendered to the Mexicans. A gentleman who left ttie city at 12 o clock on the iztn, says mat me;

A rumor liaving been circulated that La ega, who ha 1 command of Chapultapec and the Citadel, had made overtures to sell those fortresses to the Puros. Considerable excitement was occabioded, and a vigilant watch placed over him. a t 1 AnumDeroi American deserters, mostly teamsters, who had organized on the road for the purpose of robbing passengers increased thei number to such a lorce that they were embol dened to attack haciendas and small towns. In this, they were very succestful, and had .t ..1..-. . f t 1 : rr . places; but. as they were organizing to attack! and rob a village, a large - party of lancer who had been in pursuit came upon thein, and sud denly,, too, that they were thrown off their guard two-thirds killed and the half of tinother third taken prisoners. Information having been given to Uin. Kearney, he placed pickets on the road, and in one ui 'ht succeeded in capturing those who had escaped the lanceros. They are now iu the cas tle of rerote. If this party had not been sur prisedandtakfn.it would have been the nucleus around which would have formed one of the most desperate and formidable robtiog parties of the age. . Chappabbal. AMERICAN COURTSHIP. An English paper gives the following ac count of American courtships: You know nothing in the old country of going ahead. If you only saw one olour young fellows setting off to pick up a wifetit would wake you up amazingly. There you would see him perhaps in a harvest alternoon with his wayon aud best learn. lie arrives at her father' door--leaps out start right in. Miss is knitting in one cornerewing a napkin; father iu t'other pulling a new handle in his axe. "Good aliernoon, both," says lhe young man. Good afternoon, Fred," says bolh in return. "I say squire," says Fred,tlie old lady is in the kitchen, with a something in her head she wants to be t tiling jou of you had better start." Still cutting away at the handlehe squire gets up and leisurely bows himself out of the room. Now for it'.1 says Fied. 1 say Miss, its all up with me. Up with you; how's that? says Miss. Why,' says Fied, ihere aint no fun in natur in a feller living by bis self in a house as big as a shaker's meeting, aud nothin in it barrin plenty furniture iu tho rooms, the kitchen chock full of hams and ingin nuts; the cellar over lhe lid with cider; aud nothing else in ihe universe but the live stork out of doors.' Well, what else would you have,1 says Miss, aint that enough, you goney V EnoughTsays Fred, no! iheie aint a wife in the lot.1 'Ay! that's queer,' says Miss with a blush. No, it ainf,' says Fred, a critter must begin some time 'to be married. I've just taken a thought that way since the Inuse is fixed. But I've often thought o' you, Miss! Oh! there, now, my dear, don't look frustrated,' says Fred, in a soothing lone, I haint got h mey wotds; but I've got a heart, you may depend, as warm as a cooking stove.' ' ' 'Tdl ! you're bold,' says'Miss. Well, iheu,' snys Fred, 4tut aim no. You wont say that ugly wordf Won't I ?' says Miss. Well, then,1 says Fred, 'will you- siy no when I ask you right off?' To be sure I will, and keep my. word, loo gomerall." MThen,' says Fred, with a solemn voice. "Miy, my sweet one, will you refuse tne?' No,says she according lo promise. There you are!' said Fred triumphant ,jr Takenthe biit. So I'll slep along and tell father.' . All was settled right off; and Fred goi a pretty wife.tbe next week, to finish the lot. An indirect way of getting a glass of wa ter, at a boarding-house, is lo call for a third cap of tea. The man ol true resolution does what he resolves, if for no other reason than because he has resolved lo'do it.

A Doo Story. A gentleman of the name of McLaffin, Residing in Rockingham county, N. II. a few yetrs ago, possessed a dog that was remarkable for bis sagacity. He one day (old the dog lo go and find a handkerchief which his child had lost in a distant field while picking berries. The dog started off with his usual alacrity, but in the course of an hour or two returned without the handkerchief, looking as crest-fallen as

though he had been caught in a neighbor's sheeplold. The master cuueu nis ears sharply, and told him to go and try again, and not come back until he found it. The j d ff . ;,h apparcnt . reiuc lance, while iho master followed at a distance behind, and uuperceived. Ihe dog went to wards the field where the child had picked the berries, and sat down on his haunches, held down bts head, and appeared lo be in a deep brown study. lie sat iu this attitude for perhaps half an hour, when he suddenly jumped up with a peculiar yell of exultation, and started for one corner of the field. Here he stopped for a moment, and then commenced trotung around the field, coin? about three feet from the fence the first time, about six the gecomj aQ(j lhus conlinuing ,0 near lhe raio 1 j: -i.. n . die at each succeeding circle. He went round the field about twenty times, when h Jumped up into the air villi a loud yell of iriumpn, pickeu up iuo iiauueituiei, uu stated for home.

One day, when he was expl-in'ng the second head, he got a little waim, and came down with such a thump upon the Bible with his hand that the ensuing slip fell over the edge of tue pulpit, though unpcrceived by him self. On reaching lhe end of the secom head, he looked down for the third slip, bu alas! it was not tobe lou:id. Thirdly,1 he cried looking around with great anxiety. After alliule pause, u I lurdly," again he ex claimed, but still no thirdly appealed, "Thirdly, 1 say my brethren, pursued lhe be wildered clergyman, but not another word could he utter. At this point, when ihe con gregalioa were partly sympathizing with his distress aad rejoicing at euch a decisive in stance of the impropriety of using .notes in preaching, which had always been an uupplir tiling in the Scotch clergy, an old woman rose up and thus addressed the preacher: Mlf I am nol mistaken, sir, I saw thirdly fly out the east window, a quarter of an hour since."
