TIIO IVonifnatioii Susiniucd. We give below, some of the evidencen o{ the univer«!il popularilyof Geu. Taylor, copicd or written, from what we ha*e seen in our exchanges. We have no hesitation in saying, that (he nominal ions are as accept* able, generally, as any that could have been cfrTain, beyond a made, and that the whig candidates will be triumphantly sustained by the people at the ballot box.

diana, though formerly for. Scott, is now for Taylor. It says: "That he will administer the government conxtiiuiionallr, we firmly believe and this is all any reasonable whig or honest mm neprf want. The General opposes the ONE MAN power as used by the present executive, and thinks a majority of the people's Representatives should govern the legislative department, and not the President.— This should be the true doctrine of every friend of Liberty in the United States, and csptcially, of the West."

The WABASH GAZETTE,of Wabash county, Indiana, says: "Our readers are well aware that General Tavlor was not our first choice lor the high office for which he has been nominated but the Whiesof the Nation have spoken through their delegates in Convention, and a majority have said he shall be our candidate, and to this decision we yield a cheerful acquiescence. It is the duty of every good Whig to do likevviae. As between the comparative merits of General Taylor and Mr. Cass, it seems to us no man could be long in deciding. We regard the Old Hero's election as reasonable or probable doubt therefore let us all take him at his word, and make General Taylor the people's President."

The WE8TEHN CHRONICLE, at Spencer, Owen county, Indiana, holds forth as follows

Thursday evening, lhe 3d in«L

after retreat beatine, four guns were heard to fire in ibe direciiou where two young men (citizens who resided here) were making hay, about 400 yards distant fiom the fort. I waa immcdintt ly impressed with an idea that they were killed by the Indiana, as I had that day been informed thai the Prophet's parly would soon be here for the purpose of commencing hostilities. Prudence induced me to wait until 8 o'clock the next morning. when I sent out corporal with a gmnll party lo find them, which he soon did they had been each shot with two balls, and cut and scalped in the most shocking manner. I had thetn brought in and buried. In the evening of the 4th inst, old Joseph Lenar. and between 30 and 40 Indian* arrived Irom the Prophet's town, with a white fl.ie among whom were about len women: the men were4 composed of chiefs of the different tribes that compose the Prophet's parly. A Shawnee man. that gpoke good English, informed me lliat old Lenar intended to speak to me, and try lo get something to eat. At retreat healing, I examined the men's arms, and found them all in good order, and completed their cartridges to 16 rounds per man. As I had not been able to mount a guard of more than six privates and two noncommissioned officers, for some time past, and sometimes part of them every other day, from lhe unhealthineaa of the company I had not conceived my force adequate for the delence of this post, should it be vigorously attacked. I hail just recovered from a very severe attack of the fever, and was not able lo lie up much through the night. After tattoo I cautioned the guard to be vigilant, and ordereci one of the non-commissioned olficers. as sentinels could not see every part of the garrison, lo walk around on the inside during the whole night, to prevent the Indians taking any ailvnntage of us, provided they had any intention of attacking us. About 11 o'clock, I was awakened by lhe firing of one of the sentinels I sprang up, run out, and ordered lhe men lo their posts when my orderly sergeant (who had charge of lhe upper block house) called out that the Indians had fired the lower block house, (which contained the properly of the contractor, which was deposited in the lower part, the upper part having been assigned lo a corporal and ten privates, as an alarm post.) The guns had begun to fire prelly smartly from both sides. I directed the buckets to he go' reidy, and water brought from the well, and the fire extinguished immediately, as it was hardly perceivable at thai lime hut from debility or some other cause the men were very slow iu executing my orders—the word

New

York Commercial furnishes the following interesting account of the trial and conviction of Mitchell, in Dublin:

Mr. Mitchell's Trial. With regard to the trial of Mitchell, I am not aware whether the news of his having been found guilty reached you by the last packet, but as the intelligence arrived in London at about the time when she must have been starting from Liverpool, it is most probable you were informed of it. With the details, however, you are of course as yet unacquainted. Any denial of the nature of the language wiih which the prisoner was charged was obviously out nf the question, and Mr. Holmes, his counsel, a leading member of the Irish bar, after throwing some ridicule upon the form of the indictment, took his chief stand therefore on an endeavor to justify, on the ground of provocalion, all that had been littered, his plain argument being 'hat "it is the right of an enslaved country and one lliat the laws of Providence approve, that it should arm and obtain its liberty by its own hand." At the conclusion of the defence a strong hope of success prevailed among the friends of the prisoner and after the jury had been two hours in consultation the assurance was given lo the mob outside, by whom it was received with deafening cheers, thai there was no chance of their finding a verdict. Before another hour had passed, however, this delusion was dispelled, and a scene occurred of a remarkable and really impressive kind. On the announcement of the verdict of "Guilty" the prisoner's wife threw herself on his shoulder in an agony of grief, his intimate friends crowded round the dock to grasp his hands, and lhe whole movement was one of sympathy. On lhe following morning, when sentence of 14 year's transportation was pronounced, lie stood again "in calm, firm and manly attitude," amid the expression of affection on the part of his friends. Having protested against his conviction by a "packed jury," he then proclaimed that when three months back he entered upon his course, he kne«v that he was setting his life upon the cast, but that whatever the result the victory would be with him.

These words uttered, two turnkeys by order of the court removed him to his cell, amid a clamor, that is described as terrific. Immediately several of the loudest offenders were arrested and committed for contempt of court. But the Judge seems to have behaved with temper as well as dignity, and upon their saying that they had but given way to irrepressible excitement no farther proceedings were taken against them.

A few hours after the sentence the prisoner's counsel who, during the trial, Ii3d been more than once stopped in his line of defence, by '.he judge protesting that he was using language no less inflammatory and seditious than that for which the prisoner was on trial, rose in Court to repeat and justify all he had said.

TERRE-HAUTE, VIGO COUNTY, INDIANA," 'JUNE 28, 1848T&"S^^rrrf^VO'L, VII/. NO. 28. it

The Slaughter at The London letter mentions lhat tWo thousand lives were lost at Naples in the outbreak of May 15. The correspondent of the London Daily News gives a narrative of the events of the day, which we abridge.

Every hour seems to show the greater magnitude of the loss of life on Monday. the 15th, and the horrors connected with it. Enough I have seen lo enable me to speak of this terrible disaster as the greatest which has "befallen any city in modern times, whether as regards the carnage or the destruction of properly. Upwards of 2,000 persons certified! Such is the enormous loss in which all seem now to agree. I went last night lo inquire, for a gentleman who Resides near me, Melga, proprietor of lhe Crocelle, in Chialamine, and found lhat he had been shot on Moriday and burifed the same night, tossed into a pit wiih hundred* of others, and lime thrown uport them.

I meta person who, being at Campo Santo, had seen seven bodies all of one family brought in they wertt found in a well, and were supposed to have been thrown in. or else have throwrt themselves in, to avoid the soldiery. The common voice goes on to speak of women and children being shot as well as men, or placed 011 their knees in momentary expectation of death while there houses were rifled of every thing.—So late as Wednesday aftternoon I was wandering through this city of sorrow, and 1 pissed down Santa Brussiva. Near the church was assembled a crowd, horror-struck and silent. There had been a little rain, which had disturbed the rubbish, and men were called in to wash down the steps and street, which was running down a river of blood and water.

Here there had been great carnage on this spot poor Melga and three others had been shot in the next house, on the ground floor alone, as many more had been hacked to pieces by the soldiery, who had broken through at the back of the church to get at them. Take these as feeble descriptions of a thousand similar horrors. The aspect of this city is beyond conception sad this usnally gav and cheerful city is now comparatively deserted, houses burned, ruined or robbed: shops generally shut. Most have fled. The houses in the suburbs are filled with poor families, who are too happy to have escaped with their lives. Very many are clad in recent mourning, and all are agitated by a hundred rumors which point to some approaching and more terrible disaster. God preserve us from it!

One of the most disgraceful features of this affair has been in the plunder on part of the soldiery and the lazzironi. This is an undoubted fact. I saw them running by my house with the most valuable articles for two days and a night, exulting over what they deemed their lawful robberv, and shouting "Viva il Re!" Il is said they were encouraged to rob hy the soldiers certainly they were not prevented and that day and the day after it is equally certain that a piaster apiere was distiibuted to them. There was a general fraternization between the mob.

The burning rage against the Swiss soldiers is intense and assassination will takeoff many. The night before last several were murdered yesterday morning more lhan one was shot, from whence or by whom no one knows. It must have been by fulminating cotton. One poor fellow was borne by me on a stretcher as I was walking in the Toledo. Liter in the day a drug/ist told me that for three dajs a young man had been lo purchase a pound of fulminating coiton, but that he had refused it, suspecting something wrong. These facts do not increase us a sense of security.,.'

The King has pardoned all the prisoners for the act of Monday, many of whom were taken in arms and some of whom had cannon in their palaces. Prince Cirella and his sons were the first that were liberated. I was present on Thursday evening in a large crowd watching them as they were let out. Some were wounded others without hats and half-dres-sed.

Whig BatifiCfUion Convention. PHILADELPHIA, June 9, 1848. Friday Evening.

The great event

Which has been so long and anxiously looked for is over. The nominations of the great whig party are made, and most excellent they are. That the ticket is a strong one Ho sane man doubts—Mot even lhe democrats themselves. I11 truth, to judge from their cortversation, lhe nomination of General 'Baylor has filled ihem with dismay.

The great Ratification meeting is now in full blast (8 o'clock.) A larger and more enthusiastic assemblage I have never witnessed. The appearance of the vast square is imposing in the extreme. Tlifs miin stand is erected at the south tloor of the old Independent Hall, immediately against the trtwer. The stand is about 40 feet square arid 20 feet in height, covered by a large awning the sides and front are handsomely drdped with Star Spangi led banners and a splendidly ornamented American Shield ornaments lhe front immediately below the speaker's desk.— High tip over the stand on the wall of the tower is a magnificent transparency, some 20 feet in length, brilliantly illuminated upon which appears in mammoth letters:

Democratic Wlifg: Nominations. TOR FRESIDKNT, GlE.\ER\i ZAtthHY TAYLOR.

FOR VICK PRESIDENT, MILLARD FILLHIORE. This transparency is ornamented in the cenlre with a beautiful Spread Ea«le. bearing in his beak ilie Star Spangled Banner. The stand is illuminated with rows of large spirit gas lamps, with cut glass pendants. The effect is magnificent in the extreme. The stand faces the main walk of the Square, which is some 50 feel wide, flanked on either side by a double row of noble trees. Half way down the walk is a large stand, erected with a pole some 40 feet in height, upon which is placed Diummond's Uengola Lights. In addition to this, ropes are extended from one tree to another across the paths, some 15 feet from the ground, which are literally strung with lamps—the trees are also illuminated. and add greatly to the general effect.

The great gateway of the square 011 Walnut street is arched over with festoons of large flags and brilliantly illuminated with gas. The other stands—four in number—are placed at the corners of the square, and are ilso splendidly illuminated—indeed the whole square is dazzling bright. Bands of Music are stationed upon the several stands, making the air melodious with their soul-stirring strains.— Eloquent speeches are being made at the several sAnds by W. F. Johnson, of Pa., Gen. Morehoad, of N. C., Geo. R. Richardson and Z. Collins Lee, of Md., Col. Barrow and Col. Haskell, nf Tenn., Gen. Combs, of Ky., Gov. Kent, of Me., and a large number of others and the applause with which they are received i« tremendous. Every one appears delighted with the nominations.

The several delegations Maryland among the numher—assembled at their several headquarters, and marched in procession with their banners to the square, where each, as ihev arrived, were greeted with deafening cheers. The scene along Chesnut street, is truly beautiful. Large flags are hung across lhe street, and transparencies, bearing varions inscription*, and views of the different battles of lhe Old Hero, are to be seen at every step.

CorreSpomlence of the Baltimore PAtrint.

Taylor's administration of tlie government as one conducive of peace, jirosp^/y and union. Of peace, because no one betwfj Knn\Vs, or has greater reason to deplore, what he has seen sadly on the field of victory, tho horrors of war, and especially of a foreign and aggressive war. Of prosperity now mofe llian ever needed to relievo the nation from a burthen of debt, and to restore industry—agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial—to its acc.ustomcd and peaceful functions and influences. Of union, because we have a candidate whose Very position as a South Western man» reared on the banks of that great stream, whose tributaries, natural and artificial, femhrace the whole Union, rendeYs lhe protection of the interests of the whole country his first trust, and whose varied duties in past life have been rendered, not on the soil or under the flrtf of any Slate or section, but over the wide frontier and under the broad banner of the nation. 5. Resolved, That Handing, as the W/iig party does, on lhe broad and firm platform of lhe Constitution, braced up by all its inviolable and sacred guarantees and compromises, and cherished in the affections because protective of the interests of the people, we are proud lo have as the exponent of our opinions, one who in pledged to construe it by lhe wise and generous rules which Washington applied 10 it, and who has said—and no Whig desires any oilier assurance, that he will make Washington's administration the model of his own. 6. Resolved, That as Whigs and Americana we are proud to acknowledge our gratitude for the great military services which, beginning at Palo Alto, and ending at Buena Vistn, first awakened the American people to a just estimate of him who is now our Whig Candidate. In the discharge of a painful duty—for his march into the enemy's country was a reluctant one—in lhe command of regulars at one time, and of volunteers, at another, and of both combined in the decisive though punctual discipline of his camp where all respected antl beloved him—in the negotiation of terms for a dejected and desperated enemy—in the exigency of actual conflict, when the balance was perilously doubtful, we have found him the same brave, distinguished and considerate, no heartlefs spectator of bloodshed—no trifler with human life or human happiness and we do not know which to admire most, his heroism in withstanding the assaults of the enemy, in the almost hopeless fields of Buena Vista—mourning in generous sorrow over the graves of Ringgold, of Clay or of Hardin—or in giving, in the heat of battle, terms of merciful capitulation to a vanquished foe at Monterey, and not being ashamed to avow that he did it to spare women and children, helpless infancy, and more helpless age, against whom no American soldier ever wars. Such a military man, whose triumphs are neither remote nor doubtful— whose virtues these trials have tested, wp,, are proud to make our candidate. 7. Resolved, That in support of such a nomination we ask our Whig friends throughout the nation to unite, and to co-

whom calumny cannot reach, and with respectful demeanor towards our adversaries. whose candidates have yet to prove their claim on the gratitude of the nation.
