He has party attachments, but it is as an American, deeply, fervently enlisted in whatever is promotive of the national prosperity, or beneficial to the States, that he Is known to l.is countrymen. Whoever is contrasted with Washington must suffer more or less in the comparison, yet it may be safely mid that General Talor, In mora respects than one, closely resembles him. L ke Washington, he is plain, direct, ami honrst; simple In his tastee and republican tn his habits. And like him, he is brave and jut, and generous and humane. He is certainly not as great as Washington, but, as we have just shown, he has all his modesty. The resemblacce dots not stop here. Washington declined to give any pledges, and announced his intention "to go into the chair cf State under no pre-engacement of any nature or kind whatever." General Taylor has repeatedly declared, that if elected at all, he must be untrammeled wilh all ebligations "except those which tha Constitution and the high interests of the nation ntlaree most seriously and solemnly demand."

General Talor positively rffiirms that. Presi.ienl cr the United States, he will have "no private .. . purposes to accomplish," and"no enemies to pumsh."

r , readers a letter from the Hon. Thorns Corwin, i In favor of the election of Gen. Taylor. His We have the measure or uresentintr to otip reasons for his position, are good and sutisfactory. Corwin is one of the greatest men of the ageand although his course relative to the Mexican war will never be approved by us, yet we never attributed .o him any but honest molives. To see, hear, and know Corwin, is to love him. A difference in one matter cannot , lear iroin ns our admiration 01 the man. e take back nothing we ever said of him we have nothing to take back. Not approving of his war doctrines, yet we have always said he was the greatest man of the age greatest in moral dignity and purity great in popular oratory and second to but few in the hearts of his countrymen. It will be seen he is for Taylor. The letter is a(Wre8seU to James M. Clements, Esq. of this addressed to James M.

He has proved himself i wonny of every Public trst confided to him, jand t,,at nink is a reasonable guaranty that he will not fail in this. I know the non-slave-holding States objsct to Gen. Taylor, that he livfs in a slave State and owns slave. Did not Mr. Clay live in a slave State? does he not now 7 Was not Mr. Clay a slaveholder.' Yet we were proud to vote for him, and I would new do more Bnd ,ncrifice mor to Plac him in the Executive ! rnair lnan 1 would for ny man in America. And so would thousands or the purest and best men in the free States. Thus, this ohiection is not insuperable, as we have seen. The nonslaveholding State, should ask this question: Will the man proposed, (whether he live in free or slave State) use his power for the extension of slavery to territory, where it does not now exist? On this point, what is Gen. Taylor's power? No more, I answer, than yours, unless he should exert it through hi. veto. Will he do this? I answer, according to his pledges he cannot. He has said in his letter to Capt. Alii-on-"The neran,,.-.! r ,l. :.j::.i...., who may happen to occupy the executive chair, vr.u.vu VI I1IUIV ll.Uitl 1 ought not to control the action or Congress npI " 1uea,ions of domestic policy, uor ought his I objection, to be interposed, where questions or question of 'domestic policy'?

And all know that this has been "acquiesced in by the people." Thus, then, it is clear, that the peopie, if they wish to restrict slavery to its present limits, have only to elect the proper men to Congress, and their will, will be law, uncontrolled by that so much abused veto power. Indeed, the doctrine ol Gen. Taylor on the subject or the veto, as laid down in the letter above quoted, (intended for publication and therefore to be considered a pledge) is in my judgment, of more value as a principle, in our system, than any which has been advocated by the Whigs, since ; me revolution. 1 bis despotic power, by its use and ahuse, has for the last few years, extended iui ij rannicai grasp to every, even the minutest question of legislation. It has ranged, uncon trolled, over our whole system, ofdomestic policy, from the establishment of a Bank, down to the erection of a harbor at the mouth of a creek. Every act of the Congres. or a free people, has thus been made to sqnare with the judgment or caprice of ONE MAN. Such a government is an accurate definition of a despotism. It is true, it only continues for four years in one hand; but it is none the less a despotism while it lasts, and if it ia In h. ..I j ... .1 j . ..s .B , lransler 0I ansoiute HAW., '.... ,1.. 1 f . ... r-., io nauuBoi one petty tyrant to his successor. An honest man, as Gen. Taylor is aomiuea to be, with such opinions and reasonable intelligence, which even his enemies concede. can not make a bad, or dangerous President. I have been asked how can voir, who denounced the Mexican war, vote for its Hero? My an swer is to me, plain and obvious: Gen. Taylor was an officer of the regular army. He took his commission when a youth. He contracted to fight when and where his country called, and to obey the orders of his superiors in command. The President was commander-in-chief. He or. dered Gen. Taylor obeyed. He acted as Scott and hundred, of other, did. It as, and is, the view of their duty, taken by all officers of the army and navy. It is a very different qne.tion with volunteers. The government re1 quests It does not, cannot command a citizen, to volunteer hi. services, in a foreign war. The government can compel the militia "to repel invasion," bnt It cannot force beyond the United States line, a singe man, except he is in the regular army. In the speech, for which I have been so much condemned, by men who never read it, I took this distinction. It i. too obvion. to escape any one, who chooses to think. I intended to say a word concerning Gen. Cass, but I have not the time, and need not tax your patience further. I will only add, that in my judgment, hi. view, of public policy, are more pregnant with danger to the Republic than those of any prominent politician ever yet promulgated in this country and if carried out, as I fear they would be, should he succeed, would fata' to tbe baPpic of the people, and end ol f "na "nexafon of all " Pula' r. iraugtit with evi s, in my udirnr quite too J ent, say

Our readers are apprized that one of the most 1 important of those nnectinna wh;.U .- . 1 - wmieumes ; arise to try the strength and durability of onr Tt . J 1 - , union, was in the Senate of the ITniiH r.. the 13th inst. In the formation of this committee every sectional interest was consolted and represented, and each of the political division, had an equal weight. We may easily supdosr that ih. mi es on ,;urin, the J ,ou'uf " ..,, llll3 nut-anon could be settled , ... . . ' ' ' ! lllit Cri.in la f ll,.

This committee, however, yesterday reported a bill which we sincerely hope will put this question forever at rest. This bill Droooses to i , i M eemments for the territories of Oregon, California and New Mexico, upon uch principlesof universal justice and constitutional rights as it is hoped will chalenge the approval or every calm and reflecting mind. The bill provides for a Territorial Government Tor Oregon continuing still in force the laws which have been passed by the present temporary Government, nntil the Legislature, created by this act, shall pass other laws in conformity to the wishes and interests of the people whom they will represent. As it regards New Mexico and Calafornla, it provides for each a government such as that first given to the Michigan Territory; but at the same time restrains those Territories from passing any laws on the subject of slavery, freedom of religion, or impairing the right of the United States to the unoccupied lands. Whatever rights of property are to be enjoyed by persons removing to those territories, derived from the Constitution ami laws of the United States, are to be refered to and decided by the Judicial power of the United States. Hence it is apparent that the rightsand claim. ! of the North and the South on the subject ef slavery are reserved; and, without giving the sanction ofthe United States to the extention of the territory in which slavery will b. recognized , the future character of those States will depend on the character, the habits, and the wishes of the people who shall heaeafter form the State constitutions for those Territories. We sincerely trust that this scheme, proceeding as it undoubtedly doe. from the most patriotic motives, may put an end forever to a question, from the agitation of which alone the enemies of onr great and glorious Union derive any hope of succeeding in their insane purpose.. 'Wo Principles." There was a loud hue-and-cry in the Locofoco ranks in 1840, and in 1844, because the Whig had no platform "no principles." The same cry is now again vociferously sent np. When Gen. Harrison was nominated in 1840 no reso lutions were adopted. None were passed when Mr. Clay was nominated in 1644, and the Convention that nominated Taylor, following these precedents, passed none. The Boston AOs. and New Jersey State Gazette say that the omission shows wisdom. "We want our President to administer the government according to the Constitution, not by the rule of caucus resolutions. We wish him to be untrammelldd in the exercise of hi. high trust. The Convention that nominated Mr. Polk passed resolutions declaring, among other things, our right to the whole of Oregon, which came near involving us in a war with England, and would have involved tt. in such a war, had the President not repudiated the die turn ofthe Baltimore Convention." The locofoco convention, adopt platform, which their candidates are compelled to regard as imposing superior obligation, upon the Pre.dent, obligations greater than hi. oath to suppc rt the Constitution. Hence spring many of the evils of . mal-administratlon which afflict the country. An M. C. in Limbo. Iu the U. S. House of Representatives, on the 13th, the Speaker ordered Mr. Henley, of th i.
