Important Correspondence.
•Gov. Norclinid'A letter lo Goncrtil Tiiylor—TIK Rrply—The Woinliiniion uccepicd without re-
Nervation.
On Sunday morning last, our St. Louis ex
changee brought us the subjoined correspondence, which we immediately liiid before oar readers, as
there hud been, from the unusual delay, a very jrrcat desire to see whot kind of a reply General
Tiijlor would n):iko to the whig convention which paid him so high a compliment.
The correspondence is brief and pertinent—just to the point—arid not a Whig in the Union will now fail to do his duty, wlnlit thousands who
have acted with the other porty will now lie found in the great Taylor rrgimenl. Every true Whig will lie satisfied, and Taylor will go into office as Washington did—oil having confidence in his
tionrsty, integrity, and determination to do right under all r.ircumstnnces. The Allison letter, and the statement of Judge
{^.Hinders, in the Convention, show that General Taylor is unmiatukebly Whig, while this accep-
tnncc drives the last nail—what now will ihe of-fice-holding, and ofliro-scrking parlizuna of Gen. Cuss say 1 Their last plank is gone, and to bo ultimately saved, they must cnll upon onr, who though sometimes rough, is ever ready to do his
-duly to his country, to himself and his fellowcitixens at large. A few of the tvhigs in (hi* part of the country

tjuielus that will last for a century. It is hurdly necessary to say, as all must see, that Gen. Taylor is the very counterpart of loco-
focaism, for if nothing else were wanting, the fact is established by tho heartless attacks mode
upon him by their leading orators and presses all
over the Union. In our own 8tale, which aspires In take tho lead herein, *carcrly anything is con
sidered too bad to say of the Whig nominee, though we much doubt if the kind of warfare used
against him, will, in the end, lose turn a half-doc-

makes—it is certainly sufficient for those who hsvo
the good government ol the country at heart, rather than the elevation ol a man from personal con
siderations, The Philadelphia Convention direct
ed its President to convey, officially, to General Titylor, his nomination, and to ask his acceptance.
This was done and no more and the General very properly replies onlv to that fact, and unquali
fiedly, and "cordially" accepts,- antf promises, if
rlttcied, "to preserve ihe prosperity and reputation
of the country undiminished." Could a patriot

SIR: I hove had the honor to receive your communication of June lOih. announcing that the Whig Con vention, whichassembled at Philadelphia on the 7ih ol that month, and of which vou were the presiding officer, has nominated me for the office of President of the United Slates.
Looking to the composition of the Convention, and its numerous and patriotic constituency, I feel deeply grateful for the honor bestowed upon me, and for the distinguished confidence implied in my nomination by it. to the highest office in the gift of th! American people.
I cordially accept hat nominaiion. bat with a sincere distrust of my fitness to fill the duties of an office, which demands for its exercise the mo»t exalted abilities and patriotism, snd which has been rendered illustrious bv the greatest names in our history. But should the selection of the Whig Convention be confirmed by the people, I shall endeavor to discharge the new duties then devolving upon me, so as to meet the just expectations of my fellow-citizen*, and preserve undiminished, the prosperity aud reputation of our common country.
I li&ve the honor to remain, with the highest respect, your most ob't servant.

The late improvements in the way of grading Market Street, will make quite an important
change in the appearance of that street when tho whole work is finished. Tho ravine at Chesnut
Street is to have a culvert over Market Street, and lie filled up so as hardly to pcrceivc it and Iho low ground at Oak is filled, and tho high ground north
of that Street already taken away, making an easy accent from the South to the highest point of
Market Street at tho Jail, and then slightly descending Northward. Those that have seen the
natural inequalities on Market Street, will seo them no more, for they are now nearly gone, and the Street will bo soon numbered among tho Jininlicd things of Terre-Haute.
We are always gNd to note anything that adds to the lieauty, health and public convenience of
this place, for, with a little attention we can have one of the handsomest towns in Indiniin and with

will be held in five States of our Union, as
follows: Kentucky.—Governor, Lt. Governor, and
Legislature. Indiana.—Legislature onlv. Illinois.—Governor, Members of Congrpsf,
and Legislature. Iowa—Members Congress anrl Legislature. Alabama holds her Slate Election on the same day, but biennially—none this year.
North Carolina elects Governor and Legislature oil the first Thursday (3d) of August, and is of course the first to be heard from. Tennessee also holds her Stale Election on the first Thursday in August, but biennially —none this year.
United Sisles Senators for six years from next month depend on the complexion of the Legislature now to be chosen, as follows:
Hon. Millard Fillmore:
It seems from the correspondence published iu the Nations 1 Intelligencer of the 26th u!t.- addressed to that paper by Oot\ Morefaead, the President of the late Whig Convention, that there.has been nearly as mueh delay in fretting the official letter from Mr. Fillmoris to Gov. Morehead, as was the case in getting the letter from Gov. M. to General Taylor.
But all obstacles have been surmounted) and we take pleasure in laying the following before our readers, in the same number with Gen, Taylot\s |etier—the one we received from the east, the other from the west. It will be aeen that Mr. Fillmore pays a high compliment to Gen. Taylor, and we have no doubt that every word is merited.

By a resolution of said Convention it was made my duty to communicate to you the result of their deliberations, and lo request your acceptance of the. nomination.
I have the honor to be, dear sir. vnur most obedient servant, J. M. MOREHEAD, President of the Whin National Convention.
Hon. MILLARD FILLMORK. ALBAKT, (N. Y.) JUXB 17,1848. SIB I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, by which I am notified that at the late Whie Convention held at Philadelphia, Gen. Zachary Taylor was nominated for President and myself for Vice President, and requesting my acceptance of the nomination.
The honor of thus being presented by the distinguished representatives of the Whig party o( the Union for the second office in the gift of the people—an honor as unexpected as it was unsolicited—could not fail to awaken in a grateful heart emotions which, while they cannot lie suppressed, find no appropriate language for utterance.
Fully persuaded that the cause in which we wre enlisted is the cause of our country thai our chief oliji-ct is to secure its peace, preserve its honor, and advance its prosperity nnd feeline, moreover, a confident assurance that, in Gen. Taylor, (whose name is presented for the first office,) I shall always find a warm and consistent Whie, a safe guide, and an honest man, I cannot hesitate to assume any position which my friends may a&sign me.
Distrusting, as I well may, my ability to discharge satisfactorily the duties of that high office, but feeling that, in case of my election, I may wilh safety repose upon the friendly aid of my fellow Whigs, and that efforts guided by honest intentions will always be charitably judged, I accept the nominaiion so generously tendered and I do this

Gen. Taylor's Letter to Captain Allison.
'BITOS ROUGE, April 22d, 1848.
Capi. J. S. Allison--£ F, A' DKAR SIR: My opinions have recently been so often misconceived and misrepresented, that I deem il due .to myselt if not to my friends, to make a brief exposition of them upon the topics to which you have called my attention.
position, until my
friends manifest a wish that I
should retire from it I will then most gladly do so. I have no private purposes to accomplish—
no party projects to build up—no enemies to pun
ish—nothing to serve but my country. I have been very often addressed by letter, and
my opinions have been asked upon almost every question that might occur lo the writers, as affec
ting the interest of their country or their parly.— 1 have not always responded lo their inquiries, for
various reasons. I confess, whilst I have great cardinal princples,
which will regulate my political life, I am not sufficiently familiar with all the minute details of po
litical legislation to give solemn pledges to exert
my influence, if I- were President, to carry out this or defeat that measure. I have no conceal
ments—I hold no opinion which I would not readily proclaim to my assembled countrymen: but
crude impressions upon matters of policy, which moy be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, are,
perhaps not the best test of fitness for office. One who cannot be trusted without pledges, cannot be
confided in merely on account of them. I will proceed, however, now to respond to your
enquiries. First—I reiterate what I have often said—I am
a Whig, but not an ultra-Whig. If elected, I would not be the mere President of a party. I
would endeavor to oct independent of party domination. I should feel bound to administer the
Government untrammeled by party schemes. Second—The Veto Power. T^e power givon

hove cxcrciscd undue and injurious influence up
on the Legislative Department of the Government. and from this cause I have thought our
system was in danger of undergoing a great changc from its true theory. The personal opinions of
the individual who may happen to occupy tho Executive chair, ought not to control the actions
of Congress upon questions of Domestic Policy, nor ought his objections to be interposed, when
questions of Constitutional power have been settled by tho various Departments of the Govern
ment, and acquiesced in by the People. Third—Upon the subject of the tariff, lhe cur
rency, the improvement of our great highways, rivers, lakes and harbors, the will of the people,
as expressed through their representatives in Con
gress, ought to be respected and carried out by
the Executive. Fourth—The Mexican War. I sincerely rejoice at the prospect of peace. My life has been
devoted to arms, yet I look upon war ot all times and under all circumstances, as a national calam
ity to be avoided if compatible with national honor. The principles of our Government, as well as its true policy, arc opposed to the subjugation
of other nations and the dismemberment of other
countries by conquest. In the language of the great WASHI 50TOX, "why should we quit our
own, to tread on foreign ground.''
In ihe Mexican war our national honor has bpen vindicated, amply vindicated, and in dictating terms of peace, we may well afford to be for
bearing and even magnanimous to our fallen foe. These are my opinions upon the subjects re
ferred to by you, snd any reports or publications,
written or verbal, from any source," differing in any essential particular from what is here writ
ten, are unauthorized and untrue. I do not know that I shall again write upon the
subject of national politics. I shall engage in no schemes, no combinations, no intrigues. If the
American people have not confidence in me, they ought not to give me their suffrages. If they do
not, you know me well enough to believe me, when I declare that I shall be content. I am too old a soldier lo murmur against such high sulhor-

The Austrian Ministry have also resigned. In Berlin the Communists are endeavoring to excite an insurrection similar to the Parisian rebellion.
