Some lEi'usons for Supporting (xCiKM'.'il Taylor. It seems to bo very evident from all lhat we It ire neen, thai if elected, Gen.Tnylor intend* to lie left fee lo lie geverned only by the Constitution, find what he conccivc« to lie the general good of hi* country. And although he hits declared himself a Whig, and "will lie devoted in individual o| hiion to the principle* of that party,'' yet he int intend thin should interfere with the ilnties he owe* lo the whnln people, if he shall be elected to their highest office. Il may then be understood, that he will nppoinl no Whig lo office merehf becnuso he i/i Whig, nor will lie make a removal because an incumbent may bo of the opposite politics but in appointment* and removal*, il may bo put diiwn that hi* find consideration will be the good of the country, rather than the rewarding of a purlizan or of punishing on opponent.

Thousands "f people of all of ilia political parti of the country, daily deprecate the vi'upera-

tion anil abuse engendered by party strife*, and many have pledged themselves lo do all in their

power to put down thi* leeling. Wo think that all such have now nn oppoitunily of accomplish

ing this end, and we expect lhat they will be

fnind aiding in the triumphant election of (Sen. Taylor. If they refuse to act noxv, we know not

when Ihey may have sucli a chance n«:iin, and it become* them to consider wi ll the path thut i.s be

fore them. (ien. Taylor is a new man, and i* en'liely un-

connecletl with parly intrigue* and parly machinery— free ns hi* native id, ho has no inducement

to do wrong and every incentive to do good, and

ns such, we think the whole country, (apait Irom those who make politic* a trade.) ought to render

hint a willing support. lie knows nothing «l parly ftl"ts and management and llic appliances of the few to govern the many, and uneonuected

with the Old llnnkeiism of any scCl.he mu-t ne

cessarily be puro from such unhealthy and im

proper inlluences. (ien. Taylor belong* to the people—ihe great

masses of hi* countrymen, rather than to mere

party, and his aim must be lor the good of those lie will so strictly represent, rather than the hang-ers-on for official station. He will not go into the

White-House from the impurities of foreign courts or the cabals of a Senate Chamber, but taken

from tho mid*t ol the people, hi* »l os and ends

must be only for the common good. The old chieftain has shown that he cannot be tampered

with or improperly approached, with impunity,

and knowing the right,, he ha* the nerve lo do it and shoulder every responsibility. Sustained b_v (he people, their gallant leader, and almost an idol,

ho will be the last man that intriguera can cor-

rupl against his country's good. It ha* been very properly said, we believe by (Jen. Taylor himself, that if a man i* unfit for the

Presidency without pledges, that pledges would not At him lor thai important office. We believe

this is strictly true, and ns tho nominee of the Philadelphia Convention bos subscribed to no

party pledges he is free to labor lor the country and not a particular party.

This then is so much more in his favor, and if fleeted free, he will have nothing to serve but his country. Time is always working changes in the

affair* of this great tepublic, and we want no

President bound down to a particular set of party

principles which may materially interfere with the public good at a future lime. Elect those to

office who have clear heads and honest heartsgive them the Constitution for their guide and po-

litical chart, and ihev will bo prepared for any

ship of State clear of stvuU. breakers and whirl-

next.

IT The Old HunVrrSwe nvention

Railroad to llic Pwific 0'caii

Ttnne-BAUifk, Sept» 8, 1848.

D. S. DATCAIBSOX, Esq. A proportion will be submitted to Congress, at its next session, U» construct, by the Federal Government, a central Railroad from the Mississippi

Vallev to the Pacific Ocean. What has been

written on this subject is in a form so luaccessi-

eral importance. It certainly rises very high above ihe mere struggles of parly, a* it is a work

which may be carried on, without constitutional

oljection, under any administration. For many centuries the commercial prorld has been engaged jm searchinc after an expeditious

route lo ihe Ea*t Indies. The Jrade of that fertile country has always attracted attention, and

although il ha* been enjoyed by both ancient and modern nations, is yet unexhausted. Mr. Senator BKSTO* ha* said of il Nature has made but one AM I, but one country abounding with the

rich productions whi are found in the Last IndS -s and while mankind continue to love spices and aromati-s, precious stones, porcelains, fine

cottons, silks, and lea-,' the trade with Asia must continue lo be sought after a* the brightest jewel

in thc diadem of commerce. Thc Plincnicians and Jews reached India by

passing from Tyre through the Mediierranean Sea to the coast of Egypt, over land to the Red Sea,

by the Isthmu* of Suez, down lo the Red Sea, and thence East, by coasting voyages, to the coun

tries about the Gulf of Per.-ia and mouths of the

the river Indus. Thc Persian* passed from the borders of Per

sia through the Caspian Sea, up the river Oxus, to tlie mountain* which divide it from thc river

Indus, across those mountains upon camels, and

thence down the Indus to its mou'h. After Ihe destruction of Tyre and thc founda-

i'f the cilv of Alexandria, a new route was opened. Il followed

the

canal of Alexandria to the

Nile, up the Nile to Coptus, thence across ihe

desert wilh camel* to the Red Sen, and thence following thc coast to thc mouth* of the Indus. In

the same age another roulo was discovered over

land, across thc desert from the bottom of the

Mediierranean Sen, lo the Euphrates, down that river lo the Gulf of Persia, nnd tlicncc by the

coast to the mouths of tho Indus. After the Romans were shut out from the port of Alexandria by the Mahornedan*. slill another

route was discovered. 'I his route lay through the

Black Sea, to the mouth of Ihe river Phasia up that river and by land carriage lo the river Cyrus

down that river to the Caspian Sea across *lhi* Sen lo the niouih of the river Oxus up this river 10 the present city of Samarcaml thence across

the uiouutiii'iK to the countries upon the river Indus, or eastward, through de«crt countries, to iho

Western provinces of ihe Chinese Empire. By the establishment of this latter route, Con

stantinople became the great emporium of tho India trade lor many years. The Veneiims and

Genoese, who enjoyed thi* trade, becaino tlie wenllhiext people on the globe, as lliey also hc-

Ciiuie the firs', successful navigators of the Sen. Their success attracted the attention of Northern

Europe nnd a new route to India wa* established.

11 passed from Antwerp and Bnrges lo Genoa and Vci,i--e thence to Constantinople across tlie

Black Sea ncross tho Caspian Sea up Ihe river Oxus lo Samarennd and fioin thence, overland,

through almost iii'erminnliLc deserts, lo the Western provinces of China. This was a more tedi

ous nnd peiilous route, yet it threw immense wealth into Iho lap of Northern Europe.

Just before llm close of Ihe fifteenth ccntuiy, the Portuguese doubled the Cape of Good Hope,

nnd thus opened an entirely new route into India. This route made Portugal one ol ihe most powerful nations, and Lisbon theceulicol Ihe wealth

and commerco of Europe. The successful inula

of tho Portuguese occasioned iho Dutch to become their rivnl, and thc superior energy and

j„ this great work, and with a view to

ascertain it* practicability, he canned to he fitted

out the celebrated expedition ander Lewis and Clark, which resulted in demonstrating the exist

ence of a water communication almost the entire

distance from the Valley of the Misrlisippi to the

Pacific. In 1819, ROBBUT MILLS, Esq., then of South

Carolina, but now of Washington City, proposed

a route from the head of navigation of the Missouri river, hv the Yellow Stone branch, over,

through one the passes of the Rocky Mountains, to the head of navigation of the Columbia

river. In 1844, another was proposed by Captain

Wi LICKS. of the United States Navy, by the Mis

souri river to the Columbia. lu 1845, another wa* proposed by ASA YVHIT-

SEr, Esq., from Chicago, by a continuous Rail

road over to the Columbia liver. In 1846, MR. MILLS proposed a second route

from the head of Meam navigation on the Rio Grande, overland, by Chihuahua, or Rio Cotichos,

to the navigable waters of the Hiagui, emptying into llic Gulf of California.

The annexation of Texas, the recent acquisition, by the United States, of New Mexico and

California, the organization of a Tentorial Government in Oregon, and the increase of American

settlements and trade on the Pacific coast, have turned public attention towards this great enter

prise, and lhat which appeared to be mere specu

lation, when made by the gentlemen to whom I have referred, is now shown to be both practica

ble and necessary. Every intelligent man will see at once, that it is against the interest of the

United States to carry on their trade with India, by the route around the Cape of Good Hope.—

The distance to Asia by that route is thirty thousand miles, over a must dangerous Sea. From

the Pacific seaboard il is but the sail of a few days. With a central road built across our Con

tinent, from the Ailautic lo the Pacific, we could, with the aid of steamers, pass to any part of the

habitable globe in from thirty lo fifty Joy", nnd thus stcure lo ourselves a huge portion of the immense and valuable trade of AMI, besides fur-

i.i-ilimg a direct channel for all the India trade of Europe. In my next, I shall endeavor to show lhat such

a route may be obtained at much less distance and cost than usually supposed, and Hint il is en

tirely within the reach of the Federal Government to build such a Road as will accomplish the

desired object. I will show, also, lhat il may be

built from the Mississippi Valley, so as to beuelil almost every part of the Union.

Most respectfully, &c.,

R. W. THOMPSON.

THE BIGHT SORT OP TALK.—In place of the

lamentations and disorder which our enemies expected to hesr from Albany, wc are happy to have such articles as the following, from the Albany

Evening Journal:

Not to I»e Moved.

There will lte no more grumbling amonsr the Whig* of Albany—no more hesitations or doubts. The question has been distinctly presented Will you support TAII.OH or ('ASS1 Out of a meeting of FOURTEEN HUNDRED WHIGS, riot less than THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY pledged their voles for TAYLOR & FILLMORE.

They have resolved, as I idler T»TI.OH or CASS must be elected, thai TAYLOR IS INFINITELY PREFERABLE TO CASS and they will support him. His majority in this countv. over his highest opponent, WILL BE GREATER THAN THAT EVER BEFORE RECEIVED BY ANY WHIG

C3~ A fight lately occurred at Andalank,

Georgia, between Alexander H. Stephens,

member of Congress from Georgia, and Judge

Keene. The latter stabbed the former in

five different places with a dirk. Two of the

wounds are said to be mortal. The cause of

this sad recontrc is said lo be, that Mr. Ste

phens attempted to slap Keene in the face.

Mr. S. is reputed to be one of the most tal

ented Whigs in Congress, is a very small

and weak man, and lo use a dirk oil such a

man, shows the most arrant cowardice. We

hope we may hear of his speedy recovery.

VERMONT.—So far es we have heard from

I his Stale, the gallant whigs have carried ev

erything before them, having elected forty-

six Representatives, the Baiburners tweniy-

one, and the Old Hunkers nine! leaving only

sixteen Majority for the Whigs, out of ihe

seven'.v-six members elect, over the united

strength of the Barnburners and Old Hunk

ers. Vermont is the political st-tr that never

sets, and her intelligent yeomanry will like

ly all be ranged on the side of "Old Zuch," in November next. They have school-hous

es, and teachers in 'em, in thai country.

INFIIIMAIIT.— Dr. Clippinger's card in another place, informs the indigent afflicted thai he has established an Infirmary for their special benefit. This is very praiseworthy and highly commendable, and we hope tho Doctor's business may otherwise sufficiently increase, lo remunerate liiiu for his benevolence nnd philanthropy in this respect. Nothing exhibits a belter heart than gratuitous attention to iho t-ick poor, and all such men aro the "salt of thc earth.'' They ought lo be held in perpetual remembrance.

How THE MONEY GOES.—The Galveston

News says:—"Major Partiidge, Paymaster of

the U. S. Army, arrived in this city on

Tuesday laBt, on the steamer Globe, wilh one

hundred and twenty thousand dollars in spe

cie, for the pay of the Texan Tolunteers en

gaged in the lato war. Major P. will pro

ceed to San Antonio by the next boat."

A CHEAP MEDICINE.—It is said that a safe

and certain remedy for the dysentery, which

has proved to fatal during the present tummer

and which now prevails so extensively, may

be found in a tea made by steeping the green

leaves of the Peach tree.

CCT" Th Democratic Pharos, at Logans-

pori, says, that at the Abolition Convention

which lately convened at Indianapolis, a

colored gentleman was reported as Elector

for the 1st district, but that Judge Wright

treat friends in such style.

Everything was qniet in Ireland. The trials growing out of the late disturbances were progressing rapidly. John Martin, editor of the "Felon" newspaper, was found guilty of the charges against him, and sentenced to ten years' transportation.

Thirteen persons, ftarged with sedition. treason, tfce., including Mears, Mean, Brennan, O'Higgins and Txffe, were shipped at Kingston on board of a Government steamer, and sailed either for Port George, in Scotland, or Carrickff rgus prison.

The city of Dublin and its vicinity was entirely quiet, nor was there any prospect of an outbreak.

There were apprehensions of an outbreak in Pari?. The debates upon the attempted revolution of June, and the report of the committee appointed to investigate the facts in connection wilh that and the previous

cmeules—in which Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc and Causidiere were compromised —had commenced. Cavaignac had placed a large military force around the walls of tlie National Assembly, which, it was believed, would be sufiicient to suppress any outbreak.

Charles Albert was desirous of abdicating tlie throne of Lnmbardy. The Einperor of Austria has relumed to Vienna.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8—4 P. M. The Cuiiard line steamer, Ilibernia, arrivetl this morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on ihe 2(iUi tilt. Iler advices are, iherefore, a week Inter.

The news is not of very extraordinary interest She brings accounts of a calamitous disaster at sen, in the burning of the ship Ocean Monarch, bound from Liverpool to Boston. She left port with 398 persons on board. The fire was discovered when eiolit miles from Orinshead. At the same lime, several vessels were in sight. Mr. Litiledale's yacht bore down to give her assisiance, hut the wind was blowing too hard lo approach her. A boat was lowered from her, ami seventeen persons were saved. The Brazilian frigate Alphonze, commanded by the Marquis de Lisbon, on a pleasure excursion, and having on board the Prince de Joinville, I)'Aumale, and a large company, were also in sight. She also lowered her boats, and by extraordinary exertions saved one hundred and fifty of the luckless crew.— The Prince de Joinville is said to have distinguished himself, by his indefatigable and successful efforis to succor the distressed. Fifty persons were also rescued by other vessels but still the loss of life is agonizing.

The news fr«'m Ireland is of a meagre

character. On the second trial of 0'Dougherty, the jury could not auree. Smith O'Brien, and the other lenders nf the insurrection in Tipperary, were lo be tried by a special commission.

The grain crops are represented as being below an average. Lord John Russell has announced that he will convene Pailiament should England again be threatened with famine.

In Scotland the movements of the Chartists have caused some uneasiness. All kinds of munitions of war have been discovered, showing the existence of an extensive conspiracy.

The continental news generally is of a pacific character. The socialists still disturbed the peace of Paris, but there were no out-breaks.

The Italian question was still unsettled. Charles Albert exhibited unabated confidence in his ability to sustain his position. The intervention of France and England was yet continued, and rumor says that Austria is content to adopt the Adige frontier, leaving Lombard)' to join Piedmont or Switzerland. This, it was supposed, might form a temporary basis, hut no temporary peace can be expected while Austria holds any portion of the Peninsula.

From Schleswig, ihcre is nothing.
