We find the aboe going the rounds of the Lncofoco papers. That (Jen. Taylor ever used such language, no man of sense beheves and none but loafers and blackguards would charge it against the Old Hero. JimrnaL Well ! So far as the first profane cpiotation is concerned, the Indiana State Journal ilttlf was the frst newspaper in this State to give it cutrtney ! In the Tri-weekly Journal of April 7, 1647, w ill be found the anecdote, copied from the N 0. Picayune, imputing not oidy the expression quoted, but still worse profanity to Gen. Taylor, cs a matter of characteristic merit. If &nv one doubt this, let him get the Journal of the date named and examine for himself! In our paper of the week following, April 14, 1847, we copied the anecdote from the Journal, and expressed cur as i -.iishment that our pious neighbors should rely upon Oen. Taylor's alleged habits of curs ng and swearing, to make political capital for him. To this the Joun.al had nothing to reply. Rut the " Cincinnati C:ironicl. " tiok tin the matter and defended Gen. T. from the odium likely to grow out of this anecdote told by his friends. The article of the Chronicle, which we should have copied at the time, but for the want of room, was as follows, word for word : Gem. Tatlor asd his Language. The Indiana Sentinel (of " Chapman crow " memory) is under deep con. cent of mind, lor lh moral of Hen. Taylor, and more especially the morals ol the Whigs, in rrgard to the matter of profanity. We arc not sorry to nee this, and trust that the Sentinel, and all other political papers, will hold public men to a strict account, for their mural conduct. Only , let it be ettended to o public men. A creed cannot, consistently with freedom of opinion, be exacted of any man, but a decent regard to public morals ought to l: and must b, if a nation means to preserve any rvgard to public or private virtue. In giving an account of the battle of Uuena Vista, the .Yew Orleans Picayune attributes to (Jen. Taylor, in the lo at of" the battle, ueveral pn.fine and even blackguard expression, Mirh at oath on the opposition that the Kentucky Regiment had got into disorder; and, again, when making the charge, to give 'em jessie;" "give 'em hell," Nie. Stc. We did not publish this account, for two good reasons : lt. Ilecau?e we ahall not print txciaring it we can help it; lr we don't "peak it, and it is not at all improved by beiii printed. 2d. Heraus: we did not leliece, from the mar' rool and brave character, that he ever used those expresions,on that occasion. Some of the Whig papers, however, have been commending the political character ol (ien. Tay lor, and thia causes n very !ively sensibility in the Indiana Sentinel, and its brethren, to the moral character of General Taylor. This is right. Let the matter be investigated. The Srntintl copies the Picayune article, and says: " Rut we were not only surprised that our neighbors should copy the paragraph, notwithstanding its profanity ; were astonished that they could approve ol llie inveterately honlile spirit which it is said the oM Gmeral hi;ilhed onanist the poor Mexicans Day after day, for the last two month-, has the Journal ht en proclaiming the (lamnabld iniquity, injustice and ungodliness of the wir, and advocating the immediate withdrawal of our troops from .Mexico. If they nre sincere in these opinions, how is it possible that they can honestly approve of en. Taylor's ardent disposition to girc 'tri hell!' That's the question." i'.w, we say to the Sentinel that whatever words Gen. Tay lor may have said, at othr times, there is no proof that he ii. nd anv one of thesj expressions in the field; and if the Sentinel means to s.y that any of the logs are itirmsi-ti-i.t, on that account, in recommending him, it will first he required to prore that he used any such expression. General Taylor never ued the expression, so often attributed to him ' (Jen. Tay lor never surrenders." It oti!d have been no re braggudocia in him, if fie had, and, therefore, unworthy of him. We have not the plenuru of a personal acquaintance with Gen Taylor, and do n-t know what his oidinarv habits and conversation may tie; but we undertake to affirm three things that (ien. Taylor whs perfectly cool and self-poisessed on Ihe field of battle; that he used noii; of those profane expressions there; and lhat tie conducted himmelt amidt lh-; dangers of the, battle field with n dignity, with which ire think the slang printed in the Picayune would be very inconsistent. Ahhotor-i vvo did not noMcc this article, for the reason stated, the Nrw Orleans Picayune did; and on the of the? month following published an articlentürming the truth of the storv, from which the lowing is nn extract: 44 There is not a mao :n the army who has been near Gen. Taylor in moments of g.eat peril who does not recognise something ha.ncteristic in the terms employed. In peace there is no man more dignified in Ins deportment, inoie frank in his maimers, or more candid in Speer h tn.t.i Gen. Tu) lor. His heart is as gentle as courn je can io k ' it, hTd hi language as direct as honest. But no in in ever yet w capabb; of great deeds who warn not sul jrt to . h excitement of a c risis. With genius it becomes inspiration, an t under its influence the shortest word is the best, and a " damn ' is briefer than wit. It i a p iltrv alTectano! in any n who knows the general to pretend to be thorktd at what was related of hnn at Hur-na l'ista. It is a mere idiam for the benefit of puritanical souls wir do their d.nnuing öfter a more canonical formulary than U generally used on battle fields. 44 The anecdote narrated in thi- paper wki published because it was true ; because it was characteristic; because it helped to show how fearTuI were the crisis which continually occurred during the battle. The words came out ol Gen. Taylor's mouth and were no doubt as acceptable to Heaven as the roaring of the cannon which belched forth death and strewed the earth with slaughter." To these atlirmations and juptifications of tho Picayune, the Cincinnati Chronicle, replied as follows : " We nre to understand, then, that a man,' capable cf gre it dei d-s,' in the 4 excitement of a crisis,' instantly commences sicearing ! A General must spur Iiis horse, in the front of battle, and cry , 4 Forward, damn your souls.' An Astronomer, who discovers a new plnnet, mutcry,'l have found it, damn the stars.' A Lawyer, closing a great argument before the Supreme Court, should, to show himself capable of great deeds, say, 4 I hae demonstrated it, damn your souls.' A gentleman popping the question, should say, (certainly 4 th excitement of a crisis,') I would die for you, my dear, damn your soul.' 44 This, according to tho Picayune, is tho language whic h is indited, by the inspiration of genius, to a man capable, of great deeds!' Loe.s the Journal desire any thing more on this subject to refresh its own memory 1 If it does, let it turn to its own truth telling files, and it will pee that it will have to put itßclf at the head of the list of K:tr and bhrkguards" who arc now merely copying, what the Journal itself firtt published, as authentic, in this State !

(cT"T:ie Journal is either infatuated itself, or H endeavoring to humbug its credulous readers, by affirming, perhaps because it hopes, that the movement of the II amburncrs is to work to the injury of the propccts of Gen. Cans. Tho N. V. Journal of C itnmcree, one of the earliest supporters of (Jen. Taylor, takes a correct view of the subject, iliflering very much from that of our h mest and intelligent neighburs. Thc Journal of Commerce Fays 44 The manner in which the Parnbortrcrs and their nssociatPH have operated and are operating most effectively for Cans, is by alarming the South with the ghost of a grand Northern party. As the Ihiflalo men are more hostile to Cass than to Taylor, the South naturally infer that Cass is thc safer candidate of the two for their interests, and they also feel hound in honor, many of them, to make up to him, if they can, thy losses which he has .sustained in consequence of taking what they deem national nnd impartial ground on sectional questions. Those two considerations will transfer to Chsp several States at the South and South Wct, which would otherwise have gone for Taylor." Our neighbor might derive a useful lesson from this, but ve don't believe he i keen enough to see it ! fXrAn Ohio whig paper, the Chardon Republican, has the following chaste nnd gentlemanly allusion to the way the name of IWr. Corwin wan received ot the EulTalo Convention. Wc give it, italics and all, as we find it : 44 At the Putlhlo Convention tho name of Mr. Clay, a slaveholder, and the fith?r of the Missouri Cam prnjnis-, was ch:cred ; while the mention of Tom Corwin, Ohio's favorit-) son, by Mr. Priggs, called down the hisses of the Free-sileri I Curse the gim hUeyed x ipers !

Taylor's !as 4 does Mr. Fillmore his co-nominee, we may report iu a single particular. In fact he states that 1 safely challenge the whole history of party in any which Gen.

" Such as have rctd the n trrative in full will at once perceive the design of the detached quotation. The application which the Journal has made of it bears upon its face unquestionable evidence that it has been quoted to sustain (ien. Taylor iu his calumny, and if -o.l.t., Ii... - ,!.... r.tt ' r r s ' j pihn upon thi? public the absurd idea that Lt. Col. j lladilon was less favorable in his narrative than Gen. Taylor. The narrative when every link of connexion i preserved conveys no unfavorable impression in relation to the men of the Xhl regiment, und every true India nian would be proud if the version of the brave Haddon, who continued with his regiment during the whole engagement, could be incorporated in the history of the country, instead of the version of I , , .. r r-. i.-ii . Gen. 1 n v! Jr who was on his way from bultiho to the , " , , J ... battle-field w hen the action commenced, and after ar- . , , , , riving on the field took a position mure than a mile t. , . , . r . I from the 2d Indiana re.'iment. Lot tlC Journal is not satisfied in giving a fill i.xtratt of thtit which lie! pretends to quote. The first sentence of the extract which he has mangled reads thus: They fell backon the brow of the ravint from 1 which we moved to meet theenemv where I succeed-, ..... . ,. ,. r : il. witli tfiii asistii!!ce of co:OO.itiv oI!nT III n-toroi-,

Put Lt. Col. Haddon d e. not h ave the matter here. He aferwards states that about J0U of the regiment were rallied and marched hick to the contest. Put th' Journal is cartful not to q . te th-it part of the narratiie which peaks of the rally, but substitutes his own language to pervert ficls. Tie: Journal says: 44 For his HadilonV exertions iu bringing about half tf the "21 regiment iaini-:lion a fur tb, disasters obove mentioned, he doorves credit, as v.i il u the men who rallicl tinder his orders."

" j gratitude for attempting day, owe its conductor any to diminish the number that acted bravely during the whole engagement. Though Lt. Col. H iddon sivs nothing in regard to the unfairness of Gen. Taylor, yet his narrative does not sustain the objection Vide features in that report. Col. Haddon speaks vf the firmness of the Jd regiment before the order to retreat of the retreat the rally and the gall nit conduct of the regiment during the div. Lt. Col. Haddon acted correctly in rt-frnininrr from making any expression in relation to Gen. Tay- . . J ' 3 lor's injustice. He wap called upon for a faithful report of the fact-J as they occurred, and for nothing 4 - . " more. He lias complied with tint request, for wfuch ho has our grateful ncknow led-rments. II e i:escrif.-0 a much credit for not following in the trail of (ien. Taylor, who attempted to screen the ofii -er whether guilty or innocent, and at the same time stigmatize the men whose? nets n -uked from the misconduct of o'diccrs, as ' fugitives." We call ?!:e pirlicul ir attention of our neighl'oi if the Journal to flu; foiiowin ' paragraph in Lt. Col. Iladdon's narrative: 44 This was the lunt contest of the 'S-IA, nnd the tJd Indiana regiment, 1 confess surpassed my ex pect -liens. In every contest in wliicli they were enunged thev would not cnlv engage with the lirmness ami iteadines of brave men, but with an eagerness and determination that by their conduct they would wipe from their name tin; stum ot' the disorderly retreat and the conduct of those u ho lied and did not return at all. Ami these men, the tin st of thorn, would have returned h td t'u ir ijnci s to'1 ded irdh than used the pii'pir txcrti'ms to tune biouyA them back It will be rem by the above that Lt. C 1. Iladd 'ii was convinced that the most of th j s nail tiu'iiLer that left the field and did r.ot again join the regiment, would have returned h:d their idjirers who Jled with thnn used th proper exertions to hae th ui brought V .." There lies the secret of thecauee that a Final' part of the regiment was not rallied, while the greater part of it was rallied, and contributed so much to the success of our arm. Put (Jen. Taylor screent all ihe officers and calls the men 44 fugitives." Thc Journal also clings to the statements of (Jen. Taylor, and in a former number Kays: Who denies their having 'fal-'-n bark in 'i-order' their having become 'fugitives.' Xol one " Comment is unnecessary the course of the Journal is easily understood. It may be summed up in a few words. (Jeu. Taylor e ilogizes rank and defames the great mass of the soldiery, and the Journal follows the injunction 44 (Jo and do likewise." Put Lt. Col. Hmldou relies solely upon justice to nistain Iiis position, and considers that rank bus no claim to anything more thnn justice.

I do not know of one democrat in this county who goes for The Triple .Uliancc, while the number of whigs is considerable. 1 think it highly pro e of the treat bable that Van uuren will get fioni four to five hundred votes iu the couniy, and all, or nearly so, from the late i tchi parly.

Tiii-J is an enormous lie, and we defy the Journal to substantiate it by the slightest evidence. Of course, it will not tukc back the falsehood; it never does that. .13The Cincinnati Gazette calls Congress the Masters of the President. That's the Whig notion of those whom the IVmocntie theory regards as servants. Federalism hrs in fact always hated the Constitution, because it recognized none but the I'coylc. as Masters, both of Congress and the President. Whiggory is etrrnnlly proving fo a Master; why can't it be content with the mastery of the Democratic party ! Tho Whigs of Ohio have nominated for Congress, so far, no less than three open and avowed opponents of (Jen. Taylor, viz: Joseph M. Koot. J. R. Giddings, and L. D. Campbell. The first two are now members of Congress, thc last is a bolting delegate from the Philadelphia Slaughter-House. We suppose our Journal will swear that Ihey are all locofocos ! Tlie Journal Mutes that it is authorized to deny that a Mr. Curter of Boone county, has renounced whiggery. We suppose it matters but very little to tbe world what Mr. C.'s opinions imy be.
