"General Taylor has authorized a publication in the New Orleans pipers, approving entirely and unequivocally of the action of the Louisiana delegation in the Philadelphia convention." If tlrs he true, it only proves that Gen. Taylor has "surrendered" to the behests of the committee from New Orleans, who waited on him to request Iiim to retract the letter which he sent to that city, immediately on tiie reception of the news of his nomination as the whig candidate, and in which e ositively disclaimed the action of the Louisiana delegation in his behalf. The person to whom this letter was sent for publication, was induced to withhold it from the public eye, until the committee should see the General, but nevertheless its contents became sufficiently known to make it the subject of comment by the New OrWns papers. The Crescent of the 22d ult. thus spoke of it : " There was a rcrnor generally current in our rity yesterday, f-'unded, ns we understand, upon very good amhoiity, thit It-t t j r 1 Tailor had expieed himself in a manner which wu d mnifet any tiling but sti-f iclion, on hi part, with hc ciuise puisued by the Louisiana delegaüm in the Philadelphia Whig Convention. It is said that he utterly repudiate the expose iui of hi f?hng and wishes, a et f -rth in the pajer read by the delegation, and deflates that it wit miilr without any authority from him. He also deine Mt. Con id' tiht t f xpliin 01 set firth hit opinion in the maimer in which it was done by that gentleman. We do not know whether tins rumor is entitled to implicit cieder.ee ; we give it a t run. Whether it be true or false, we shU piobably know in a day or two frm Gen. Taylor hi-nself, (it it is not Uktlv that the cent'emeu who composed the del gatnm will allow thnr conduct to be question ed in the public mar r er in w hich If ha teen, and will be, without an attempt to justify their course by the authority cf the (.eneial, if tbey have it." Tim Mercury of the 23d, notices the same letter as follows : "It is now ret down as a fixed fact that the Old Hero of Boen Vita,on leceivin an account of the proceedings of the 1'hÜadelphia C imntion, immediately sent a let'er to thi city for publication, d-nyin that iht Louisiana delegation hat any autnotity whatever to declare that be wa Willing to abide the decision of th Convention, and withdraw his name if not nominated by the Whig party. It is also Mated, but we think the tepoit erroneou, that he will not accept the t ominati n of paty, tut will adhere to what he ha avowed. an1 be the candidate of the people. The popularity of fleniy Chy mou; the gieat mas of the whig CoiiMdeied, and the tiong oj po.ition of many leading men to (len. Taj lor. in consequei ce i f hi independent declaiaiions, we ate inclined to think that he Would not hive teen humiliated by the Phi! idelphia convention, weie it not for the statement m.de by the Louisiana delegation. Judz Saunders it reported to have said that it wa Gen. Taylor's opinion that hi friend in the c m vein ion weir b -und to abide by its i!eciiu aid nuppott the nominee, and that he believed they had the riht to withdraw ins name, and that he would cheerfully aequiesre in urh withdrawal. The iudepei dent eleciois of Maiyland and leveral other members of the Couveution, as they have since declared, deemed this sta'emeut inconsistent with the uft-iepeated declaiation of (Jen. Taylor, but lelyinjj on its accuracy, supported his numiuation ptii.cii ally on account of his reputed repaid f r paity. So ne of the mnst prominent whip in New York have declined tendcun their supott to General Taylor until he would have acceptrd the nonunation and expresed his willing ess to be the candidate of the patty. It can then be im pitied what commotion woul I be cieated by the publication i.f a lettet fain Cen. Taylor, still Kneiting his independence of paity. and liclaimin any connectioD with tbe l'hiladelphia Convention, 'iiis fiiends in this city hare tbe-.t-foie, veiy widely, withheld his comuiunicaiion from the pub.i-, until they vill have an nppmtunify of remon-trutn-i with him, for which pur pt.se, wc aie informed, seve ral of thwise ones' left for Baton Kuue lt evening. If Gt-n. Taylor ha wiittu a k-tter as stated, we do not thi ik he will wi'tdiaw it Lr any political consideration, or that he can be influf nte t to d ary act uot in stiiet accord ance with hi avowed Mincipies and sense of rieht. We must have some public exi.iesiion of his sentiments in few days, and until thru must wait patiently fur tbe truth.' The t. Louii Union, jf the Hist, received news of the letter, and commented upon it in this strain : Gr. Taylor Iiimi'taü.f. Wuioocsr iw Tboüblc Yetciday,on the auival of the steamer Alx Scottt the whigs bei were 'brown intu cieat cominn' in. It was immediately n ied about the city that Gen.

We leain fiorn gentlemen who came on the Alex. eutt, that the politicians iu New Orleans were gieatly excited, and that Taylor letter was the universal topic of convention. On the irceipt of that letter, the ftiend to whom i' was intiusted. call d in a number of whig Li convolution, and tiiey decided to withhold it from the public eye. A committee ras theo sent, of which Bailie Peyton was a member, to see the old soldier tod ioijit upon

bis char ging his determination. Tbe letter written by him denied that (he Louisiana delegation had any authority whatever for the statements they made in the Philadelphia Conventionthat he had authorized them to pledge him to abide by the decision of that body, and to withdiaw, if not nominated. As the statement of that delegation was conideied very e tTective in securing his nomination a sort of "pious frau 1" of Whigjjery the whis of New Orleans weie unwilling that the trick should be exposed. This news put whi;geiy here in gieat trepiJation. But the old General did not content himself with sending a letter to be published in New Orleans. He sent a similar one to Washington ; but it seems th&t the whig leaders were no better satisfied with the latter than the former, for they have not dared to publish it. The contents of the Washington letter also leaked out, however, and the subject was spoken of by the correspondents of eastern papers. A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, writes, June 24, as follows: 'Gen. Tylors letter of acceptance was received in town this evening. I hate not seen the communication, but I learn he reiterates hi former independence of party and de dares, that notwithstanding his selection by the IVhig Convention, he must consider himstlf the candidate of the masses. Tiie correspondent of tho Pa. Ledger, June 25th, said : "There is a rumor in town, which, indeed, carries with it so much of pmbability, that it is generally believed, that Gen. Taylor' letter of acceptance is not such as the great whig paity expected from him, and tint breathing that devotion to whig principles to which, after many unsuccessful efforts, it was hoped he would be moved by giatitude. Gen. Taylor acknowledges no obligation of any sort, and though accepting the nomination, does not accept it as a paitian, bound by partisan doctiiues tnd rules. So then the democrats have a regular and an independent candidate, and the whigs a regulai caudidate, who is at the sane time independent multunx in parvo aud ia addition a great expounder ofiEsop." The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun also notices the reception of the letter. Now in the face of this positive testimony, from distant and different quarter, who can possibly doubt that the position first assumed by Gen. Taylor, was hostile to the designs and action of the Whig Convention 1 No man of common discernment, certainly. There can be no doubt that Gen. Taylor was disposed to maintain the ground of neutrality which he has heretofore repeatedly said in his letters he should stand upon. Upon that ground he made the whig surrender to him ; and if he has now, at the solicitation of the whig committee of New Orleans, changed his attitude, he is weaker than we have supposed him to be. Of this change, we need some better evidence than is afforded by the above despatch. We have no doubt of one thing, however, that the whig leaders will gull the public if they can, even if it should require the suppression of Taylor's letters to accomplish that end. OrSince the above was in type, we have the N. O. Delta of the 2Gth. It gives an account of a public meeting at which Balie Teyton reported the result of the committee's visit to Gen. Taylor. According to the Delta, Mr. Teyton said "Fellow citizens I do not rise to address you in a set speech. I have just arrived from the home of Zachary Taylor. (Cheers.) A committee of your fellow ci'izen waited upon him. We found the old man as cool and collected as he ever is on the eve of battle. Gentlemen, I will not detain you, but proceed at once to read the document which I now h"ld in my hand, and which we have been authorized to publish to the woild. Here a profound silence at once ensued, and curiosity and anxiety weie plainly visible in many countenances as Mr. P. proceeded to read the following statement in a loud and distinct voice: "We ate authorized by Gen. Taylor to say that the coune of the Louisiana delegation in the Whig Convention, lately msembled at Philadelphia, meet with his entire, full, and unqualified approbation He not only never doubted, but never intimated a doubt that bis honor aud reputation were safe in their hands. (Signed) DALIE PEYTON, LOGAN HUNTON, June 23d, 1S4S. A. C. BULLITT. The above statement is in the hand writing of Gen. Taylor bimself, which is of a peculiarly slirT, heavy and maiked character. The reading of this document being finished, loud and prolonged cheers tent the air, and countenances, before anxious and disttessed, were instantly radiant with smiles and exultation.' We have no time for further comment, than to say, that it appears from the above that Taylor has sw rendered, sure enough ! What will not men do to get into otfice !

Ö7-In a sketch of proceedings at a recent whig meeting at the East, we find the following : Mr. TuoMrsox, of la., who opened, in the course of Iiis remarks, said, the irhigs hare snne doicn into the ranks of the people and taken a candidate. Gono down into our ranks,' remarked one of the hard fitted, near mc; I think we are as high up as you are. " Dick was evidently expecting to play off the forum humbug of 1340, but it seems that at least one of his audience was a little too smart to be gulled by him. "Down into ihe ranks of the people," forsooth! Dick has evidently as contetnptibls notions of the people, as Taylor has of volunteers. Insane Hospital. Agreeably to notice given to the Commissioners of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, in October last, Dr. Jno. Evan9 resigned the office of Superintendent of that Institution, on the first day of July, inst., and Dr. R. J. Patterson, for a number of years first assistant physician in the Ohio Lunatic Asylum, was appointed to the place. A portion of the institution will be opened for the reception of patients, about the first of September next. 03Wc learn that John Bkolt.ii, Esq., recently tle yery able associate editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has been elected President of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad. No better man could have been selected, both as regards the interest of Ihe ockholders and the public accommodation. 07-The ,4Clintoninn," published in Clinton county, has been discontinued for want of adequate support. The editor takes leave of his readers in a bitter valedicfoiy, in which he says "We have regularly published our paper we have toiled day nnd night, and what returns have we received 1 The sneers and scorns of contemptible idiots, and tides of abuse from miserable wretches, whose only avocation is slander, and whose souls fester in the rottenness of their own corruption."

A CARD. 1 have seen in the published proceedings f the convention at Utica, New York, that my name is put in nomination for Vice president of the United States, on the ticket with Mr. Van Buren.

The State to which I belong was represented in the Baltimore Convention; the vote of that State was given to Messrs. Cass and Butler; they were nominated ; and as one of the citizens of that State, that nomination immediately received my cordial concurrence and suppurt, and will continue to do so. I have long been the friend, personally as well as politically, of Mr. Van Büren, and under other circumstances, would be proud to have my name associated with his in nny way ; but the acceptance of this nomination is impossible; and I have to request the members of tho convention, and the public, to receive this declination as my nnswer, nnd to excuse this mode of mo king it bring the only mode which the wont of a communication from the convention leaves open to me. HENRV DODGE. Washington' City, June 10. 18 IS. 07-Calhoun, and some of the other ultra slavery propagandists, in the U. S. Senate, have recently shown some disposition to come down a peg or two in their arrogant and audacious demands. Perhaps the movements of the Barnburners have had some effect upon them. If so, very well; and jut in time! The people of Oregon had passed a law against the admission of slaves in that territory. The Southern Senators, therefore, refused to give a territorial government to the people of Oregon, unless the right should be conceded und declared in favor of slavery in Oregon and all other territory, acquired and o be acquired. Month after month has elapsed, whiie the people of Oregon were suffering from the murderous assaults of Indians, and nil action of Congress has been delayed, in order to enable Southern Senators to carry all their points relative to "niggerism." It seems that the signs of the times have at last convinced them that they were demanding a little more than the North would be willing to yield; and now they evince a disposition to accede to a proposi tion of Mr. Bkk;i;t, to make the Missouri compro- " I mise line or tili deg. .hl mm., the basis of amusting m 0 ' J 1 the question ot slavery not only with regard to Oregon, but all other territory.

More Whig Kcsponsc. 0OAt a recent Whig Convention in Ashtabula, the banner" whig county of Ohio, the following resolutions were peosed: Resolved, That the whig party of this county has

ever been a party of principle adhering to principle for the sake of principle, and to men because of their principles. Resolved, That we have heard of the nomination of Gen. Zachary Taylor ns a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, by the Whig National Convention, with profound astonishment, and we here to-day proclaim again our fixed will nnd purpose not to support the nominee of that convention unless he shall place before the country his assent to the National Whig Platform of 1814, and his further pledge of opposition to the extension of slavery over soil now free. The Ashtabula Sentinel, a whig paper, also contains the following parogrophs : The Sentiment of our County-. We have taken some pains to ascertain the "views f our whigs, in relation to the nomination of Gen. Taylor. In some eight of the strong whig townships in the south part of the county, there are but three Taylor men. A greater unanimity of 'he feeling of determined opposition to a candidate was never known, than is felt to the success of Gen. Taylor. In the remaining townships a corporal's guard cannot be mustered in his support. We know that some politicians predict that this sentiment will chnnge, nnd that our whigs will he whipped into a servile submission to this last edict of the slave power. But we assure them that they have entirely mistaken the spirit of our people. Genekai. Tayi.ok. The nomination of this gentleman for the presidency by the Philadelphia National Convention, we regard as a total dihandment of the whig party. It matters not in what way it was effected, whether by fuir means or foul, the consequence resulting from it will be the Fame. Ninetenths ef the whigs of this county, nnd of this section of the State, will repudiate the nomination with loathing and disgust. They see iu it the last crowning attempt of the slave power to fasten upon the freemen of the north a policy which in the end is to make themselves slaves. It is a final experiment upon their endurance which party leaders have had fair warning it would be in vain to attempt to impose. In making this nomination, the long cherished principles of the party have been discarded. The candidate selected for our support does not represent our sentiments upon any of the great questions at issue between the political parties. The Meigs County (Ohio) Times, an able whig paper, says : We have no hesitation in saving that in no rnoHA Hl.n CIKLTMSTANCES CAN TaYLOK IttCEIVE THE SUT10KT of tiie vtiu;s of Ohio ; we mean, any thing like the strength of the party.

The Versailles Flag, speaking of the recent whig meeting in that place, has the following : "A resolution was offered by the I Ion. Dr. H. J. Bovvers, that the convention rutify and concur in the nomination of Gen. Zachary Taylor for President, which brought the Hon. James II. Cravens to his feet, who gave the convention to understand that the passage of that resolution would lay whiggery upon its cooling hoard in less than no time. Other delegates modestly hinted that they would leave the convention in disgust if such a resolution was passed, when it was voted down by an overwhelming majority of sixty-three to twelve thus showing the popularity of the no-principle Whig nominee, of the great Whig parly in Ripley county."

After long misgiving and repeated postponement, the Taylor whigs of New York city have at hist, upon the call of their general committee, held what they call their Ratification Meeting. As the details of it are given in the New York papers, it seems lo have been 0 farce broader, noisier, and more flatly nnd desperately unsuccessful, than could have been anticipated even from the deep disgust with which General Taylor's nomination is now known to have been received in that quarter. From the 7Vibune's (whig) account of the meeting, we extract the following : An addreos and resolutions are aaid to have been adopted,

The poor unfortunate creature was so roughly handled, that it was supposed death would ensue. The friends of Ireland, held a large meeting in New York, on the evening of the 20th inst.

Ttie. School Law. A long communication from our correspondent Liberty," has been for some days upon our table.

We have been unable hcre'of re to find ro un for it ; nor can we now publish more than a third put of it. We wish some of our friends could take a glance at our table, they would see the necessity of brevity in writing communications. Wc have alt the time, m re than fair times as much matter ns we can publish. "Liberty" replies to two other correspondents who have contested some of his positions, and then proceeds ns follows : 'Lok at our situation. A a State we re deeply in delf. Have the pepte forgotten how we weie windled ly n-nie nf our gieat men. Most any thing that was thuituht popular could p9 tiie legi-lattne a od uceire the ignatute vf the Governor, whether it was c;iin!iiu'i"iial r nut ttule tut little tiifleifiue wi h many f them; shall we suflVr another unjust and a wicked tax to come upon us before we have half paid our wicked State debt; coulJ it be possible that out inductions people muld be o numb in their understanding that they would Miller another LuaJm to curne up on themselves.' We have to ie(ect our be nalon f lat esion for laying this rchod scheme n the table; the lionse was ufluenred to pas it without citisiJerittg r knowing the i justice of it; do you bear in mind that we had to pay our Legi-U'uie for canting u into debt and bankruptcy ; ani now we have to pay thern ain fr taxing us to pay this wirke J dtbt ; we ouht never to suilci our Le gislator to lax us for any thing mjre than Its own suppoit. Charten may be granted that by fubciipiion any public impiuvt-ment may be completed ; but taxii g ought neier 10 be tolerated to gratify one patty at the expense ol the other.

His language was that he must firt learn what are the views and opinions of Gen.

A writer in Hunt's Magazine says, when he commenced trade in this country, many years ago, he sold English chintz prints for 7" rent a yard, and a servant girl received for wages fifty cents per week, and paid S 1 for a dress pattern ; now a girl gets 1 to $J per week, and yet can purchase a first rate article for a dress nt eighteen cents per yard. This change he ottnbutes to the increase of population, improvement in machinery, particularly the invention of the spindles, competition, manufacturing our own goods', and substituting capital for credit. A Radical Party. The Gc rret Smith party tako the ground that slavery may be aloliI, d by Congress, in both States and Territories. It goes for fre oil, an inalienable homestead ; against the liquor license system, secret societies, &c. ; for universal sutfragc females included ; for low postage, the election of postmasters, and all other officials, and against governmental interference, in support of tchools, making roads, or doing ai y thing else that the eop!e can do) without such aid.
