We wen- permitted the perusal of a private letter the other rhiy, from this distinguished statesman, to one of our leading citizens, in which he declared his determination not to take nu active part in the present canvass; but when the day of election comes, he will g 'o tiie polls and vote according to the best light in his possession at the time. The whig papers are congratulating themselves that Clay voted for Crittenden, though his son voted against him. Put Crittenden and Taylor are tint, and it is doubtful if the 44 unavailable " votes for the available."

There is no dependence on the Whig party, for that party is now u terly disorganized in the Northern States. Nothing but great ellort, and plenty of it, can sive Ocneral Taylor. (Jcneral Cass's chances are beginning to look up, as Poik's prospects did four years ago, and from causes somewhat alike." The correspondent of the Pa. Ledger says: Some of the most enthusiastic Taylor men, previous to the Philadelphia Convention, have entirely disappeared from Washington, or have retired from politics altogether, at least for the present. They seem to wait for the millenium, und avow their disappointment iu not being able to run Za chary Taylor as an independent candidate. They have no faith in parties, and recede from the nomination in the same ratio that the ultra leaders are coming to its support." flENT.r.Ai. Lane. There is one fact connected with (Jen.

A letter in the Courier des L'tats states that the Sardinian ambassador at Paris, had received a communication from Florence, announcing that on the 4th of July, Pope Pius IX, was struck with an attack of apoplexy, and that his condition excited serious anxiety. The fourth of July last seem to have been fatal to several of the great men of Europe. It was on that day that Chateaubriand died. fjT 'I lie Poston Daily Whig has changed its name to llostan Daily RtpubUccii. The editor snys that the principal reason for the change is, that the name Whig has been appropriated, by the new Taylor party which was formud at Philadelphia, and it is a serious injury to his business to retain a name, which is claimed by the supporters of Gen. Taylor. An Imioktant S:;. The " IlrjuiLliantr" of Cincinnati, the only ierman Whig paper iu the West,, has, after six years of existence as a Daily I'apek, died out, the editor dismissed, and the sheet confined to its Weekly issue.

And any inference or impression of ji contrary uatuie, derived from my letter is certainly erroneous, u r d I now think that fiir construction of the lmgunge employed, will juslify the conclusions to which you ha '. referred. Accordii g to the published te-,t,m nv before the court of inquiry, sub-eipn ntiy i i hi in reference to Ihr conduct of the Jnd regiim-nt of Indiana volunteers, it appears that the animad ers.ons up hi that regiment were not merited, and lhat the movement which was censured, was in conformity to orders. Under the circumstances it was tiltnost impossible not to have fallen into some error-, but I had supposed j that the publication of the otiicial loportshad long! since corrected all that 1 might innocently have propagated. As I wiote from no personal feeling and had no private griefs to avenge, 1 regret that any j one should have suffered from what was intended to beau impartial narrative of events mi tar as my I knowledge extended, und I am happy that you have I given me the opportunity to make this .statement, not j only in justice lo the Indiana volunteers, but to my- ! self. i I am, very respectfully your obedient servant, C.

Our number of Congress, Mr. Wenlworth, though he has to a certain extent grown unpopular with bis pnrty, received a majority f 33 votes in this county o tr Judge Scaintnon, the whig candidate. The prospect is very favorable for n democratic majori ty at the November election. Prom the above you can readily perceive that ue are on the gain, and the democrats arc up and doing with tlx; lull conviction that they will elect ('ass and Puller by an overwhelming majority.

Joe MtLi.F.n is at a premium just now, and a new edition, the 115th, would be more eagerly nought than the last cd it iuii of Lsop. No political lump speaker can go into the canvass for the presidency without a copy. Principles he can dispense with entirely, for when questioned upon these points he may employ those generalities u hid, mean anything, everything and nothing ami are osoailv fabricated to humbu; the people, but Joe Miller is more important than the creed of the party, and the man who goes into the political field without being well versed in all the jokes of Joe, may as well make up his mind to he beaten by his more provident adversary, for he is like a general going" to battle without ammunition or provender. Political speakers are generally aware of the merits of this remarkable author, whose works are indebted to no ephemeral popularity, but seem to have been w ritten for all time and some of these orators have already made considerable draughts upon his pages, and discover much ingenuity in turning them luto modern instances. There is one very reprehensible practice, however, that we cannot approve, and that is, falsifying history to make a reputation when it is not needed. We see some of the journals have taken Joe's story td Frederick the (Ireat proposing to one of !!-j soldiers who intended to desert on the eve of a desperate battle, that if he would "remain till next day and fortune did not favor him he would desert with him," and have ingeniously modernized it both in persons and localities. It is now applied to Ocneral Taylor, und the time the niht before Puena Vista battle. CJeneral Taylor is fond of the classics, as his knowledge of iEsop proves and Frederick was too good and successful an old soldier not to be studied hy General Taylor. Honest himself he would scorn lo rob an old soldier in this way to deck his own reputation, which is bright enonih ef itself, without any such trick to enhance its glory. '. ledger. Coiiipliiiienttii'y lo the lSr:ive Molilirrs. Iu the New York Courier and Knquirer, a fewdays ago, we find the follow, ng respectful notice of the volunteers: It is a notorious fact that forty nine out of every fifty of the Volnuteeis who served under Hen. Taylor in Mexico, now go for him heart and soul, entirely regardless of what their former political predilections may have been. Almost the only exception to this! rule are to be found in scoundrels who have been punishl fr their villainy by lien. Taylor. Tin old soldier had such an innate loathing and contempt for everything dishonest and dishonorable, that lie invariablv denounced tili who were brouent before hitn convicted of stealing and ither flagrant crimes, as being unfit for soldiers, and who would cower before an enemy ; and he did not hesitate to inflict on all such severe punishment. Ho! CcRTis, Mo:.;., Lane, Pr.oi'Gil what think you of this J Two of von ware leading wiiigs before an enemy ; and he did not hesitate to inflict n all the war, and all are ii '.v against Taylok. What did he punish you fr! What was vur crime? Wliat did you steal! How did the thousands of brave hearts under your banners, who are also against Taylor, prove their "villainy J " You must be well convinced by this time that no soldier can oppose Taylor unless he is " a scoundrel." How complimentary the friends of General Taylor are getting V;.,?iyi.:;?M,i. Tiie Cincinnati Chronicle d.-uies that any injustice has been done the Second Indiana Regiment. The Taylor paper everywhere out of this State do the same thing, and some of the Taylor papers within the State are no better. We sincerely hope that our devotion to anv man or any cause may never blind us so far as to compel us to be guilty of such gror-s injustice to any set of men. Madi;:i Courier. Mr.. Webster's IVisninw Tiie New York Commercial Advertiser has ventured the as-urance, that Air. Webster sanctioned, ond would go for the nomination of General Taylor. The Poston Atlas has copied this declaration. The Poston whig, in un able article, proves th it this is not tiie case, and that the statement in the Commercial is not authorized by Mr. Webster or his friends. 1 says,' we know lhat Mr. Webster has declared that he icu!d not recommend the people to vote for Gen. Taylor, and we shall not believe that he ivill recommend them to do so, until we see a letter over his signature", or read a reported speech, in which he takes that ground. Tiie desperate cause of Taylorisin in Massachusetts and the North requires desperate e.vped.ents, but nothing can save il not even Mr. Webster's endorsement, if that is obtained." It appears from the statement of Henry Wilson, a representative to the " national slaughter house," from Massachusetts, that Leslie Coomes assured him that if AiiDoT Lawrence should receive the nomination for the Vice Presidency, he was willing to pay jj; 1UÜ,0(H) for the honor, that sum, of course, to be expended for electioneering purposes. The " lord of the loom " is seldom wrong inhis financial bargains, but he certainly made a mistake that time. If the nomination for the Presidency is not worth ten cents, how much is one for the Vice worth ! We pause for a reply. Cin. Enquirer.
