I had no noar kindrcd, and I had a small stipcnd, two things fiillicicnt to ruin me.for tlicy convinccd me that 1 uceu do notlungbut 'intcnsil'y' the knowlcdse I already possesecd. i rcmaincd Ionr enou"h m town to lind mv self (and niustachios) ipiitc tbe thing and shomd hae rcniaiiiud of that sainc mind had I not nict Mli-s Erncstine Stuart, who compol lod me to a diiTcrent way of thiuking. Tlie arrival ol' tbc sutnincr brought me an invitation to thc bonie ofthe Stuarts.iibeauti- ful place on tbe Connecticut.

I endeavored to rally, for I knew she had hcard of me from Erncst, and was pre parcd for a plcasant isitor, and if ever map excrtcd himsclf to fulfd an cxpcclation, I did this but Ernestine's mouth never cjuitc came out of tbe curl which sbe bronglitit into onmy first appcarancc, cspccially if I attemptcd to tcll her how mi-crable J was on hcr account. If 1 couhl perceive a softcnin!; toward me, it was whcn 1 spokc of hcr brolher.

We were on the broad piazza on the weitcrnside ol the house, and tlie sun liad just dipped bcltind the 'round hacked' hills. The river, blue nnd bcauti ful, roh'ed bcfore us, itt the lootofa terrace,a down which, grewfine old trecs. The scene and the speaker were both most Jovely.

'She wisbcd there were less prospects ofdther people loving hopelessly.' I wished so myself. I endeavored to retrieve n:y rep ulation and lostground, by speaking of Er nest beauty, ot 1ns nnc nead and white brow, round which the curls Iay Apollo like; ot the hne stag-like turn or his neck, so set dom icen in German land, where the favor ite attitude seems to be, 'Ilcad bcnt, bands claspcd bcbind, As if to balance the prone brow Opprcssive with the mind,' and I rcinstnted myself in my (as yct) subor dinate pluce in the lady's qood graccs. by telling her how I had been supersedcd on all points by him that he had not been content with stealing thc cood opinions oflhecruslv old Doctors, but thc onore "oldcn ones Jf young Iadies and she really smucd upon me quitelavoraoiy atter this. In a convcrsation with Ernest, onc verv dull, stupid morning, when Ernestine had a hradache and would not he seen, 1 inquired into his state of mind; after a short prelude on thc bencnts of conQdence in one's friends, I was (to myself) singularly impressive and cloqucnt, but Ernest seciiied a little cool un der itfor he only answcrcd 1'shaw!

I was one day sauntcriog along, rather fatigued, and thinking I would stop several days in the neighbnrhood, if I could find a hamlet where I could be cntcrtained, when the rumbh'ng of a carriage of some tort reach cd my ears. I wob on a lonely road and had seen no 'racc of habitation, therefore I was a little sur prised so suddenly had this vehicle coracin on the road I was then cn, that I had hardly time to turn, when the rider spoke to me. 'llolloo, Misier, vou was'nt wantin torido wasye?' Ikncwit! Iknew it! tbat yan kee twang, minc own vernacular! tho gut teral Germin had not oblitcrated it. The soft sigh ofthe Spaniard, thc patios of thc Frencb, had not caused one nasal intona tion of it to bccome indislinct, I turned and lookcd at the speaker. fc He was oneof those mcn whom political orators address as the 'bone and sinner ofthe country.'

So you rcad po- etry, do you said 1. Yes, among other tbinjrs,"was tbe answer. What have we here, a manuscript copy of luetainc Mary blushed. Yes," said my fair paticnt, that was conicd for a friend but never civcn." To cut the mattcr short, rcadcr, I found Ma ry to be very lovely m mmd and soul. There was an innate delicacy about hcr which made all beauty akin sbo was tbat most lovely of all cbaracters, the sweet tempered. I found her sick from orer-work, brain work. She had studied more in her short life than mnny a woman does in a long life. Sbe was a fine tcbolar in the niodern laneuatrcs and I found she had a taste for art which ncedcd on ly a little paticnt cultivation to makc bcr au artist. But bebind all this OTCrtaskcd brain was a deeper grief, there was a hiddcn cankcr which I could not rcacb. We read, and walked,and for my "fend attentions," as sbo was plcascd to call thcm, thoughl was mcanwhile cnjoying the society of one ofthe the most gifted beings l ever knew. liut shc never talkcu ot hersel!. She would ask me questions on literaturcand art, and occasionally sbe would bc led into an argumcnt, but did 1 ever speak of hcr life, shc retircd within berself and uothing could draw hcr out. In ministering to her love of art, I one day showed ber my skctch book, witb many apol ogies for the poor and has'.y cxecution, for I felt that I had a purer critic than nny wlio had studied in the galleries ofthe Vatican. She turned it ovcr with pleasure, and after going througb the landscapes.she turncd to thepagcs in which I had inseribbled vcrses to Ernestine, and had sou-iht to portray hcr faec. I stayed her hand, "nay, gcutle Mary, that is sacrcd to love and memory, do not open there," but she sceing tbat I did not objcct vcry ttiennously, insistcd. I took tbe book and opcncd at tbc best picture of Erncstine. 'There, Mary," said 1, "is the woman nearcst like you in soul, that I have ever known." What a cry sbe gave her pala h'ps turncd a more dcuthly huc, and sbe seemed to me to die, but thauk God it was not death, it was but a secming death; nnd now reader, what it took me a great wbilo to ascertain, you shall have in a few moments. My friend Ernest, in bis travels after rcturn- ing home, had encountered Mary perfoniiing ber duties as scboolmistrcss. IIc had met hcr in this little villaac as the superior person, for so she was, nnd hcr beauty and supcriority had won him. bbc had nevcr sccn his cnual, he seemed to havc dropped out of the clouds, hcr wildcst drcam had never picturcd nmi, and that be should lovo her and ask bcr to be his own, was it strange that her young heart was dcenlr toucbcd? Ernest went to sce her once at bcr home, and though she had endeavored to prcparc lnni tor it, the vuleanty ot old Oom"s had ncarly driven him to despair. He thought of his well appointcd home, ol his sensitive fathcr, nis clcgant mothcr and sister, and thought with horror of lntroducing them to thc red framc houso and Moses Goings, and cvcn red faccd Mrs. Going?, made a bad figurc in tbe picture. On rcturning to bis bome, bis fathcr had urccd his proposing for Miss Ellen Far, as an elijrible young lady for you know sir, I cx- pcct you to marry well, was an aplicnsm ot tho old gentlcman. Borne down with tbcse rcflections, Ernest wroto to Mary, that events had takcn placc which must separatc them for a time. That he lovcd hcr as of yore, but he could not see her again he dared not say when. Foor Mary I she divincd the whole Shc knew but too well tbe stru'glc which had gone on in his mindand she dctermincd that hc should not feel bound a moment to hcr. aVnd she wrote bim mstanter, that he was releascd from any cngagement to her, and tbat she gave bim up from that time hcncefortb. Ernest had not dreamed of such a deter mination. Hc had finnly bopcd to marry her some time, but he could not say whcn, and it had bccn a scvcre blow to him but to Mary it had struck to the very centre of hcr be ing. She had no confidant, no friend, and tbe Eicture of Ernestine was the first thing which ad brought him back. It was taken without drapery, and as I look ed at it acain I saw how much it looked like Ernest, thc name too was reribbled ovcr the picture she only noticcd the Ernest," when ber poor little hcart gave war. She told me somcthing ncxt day which scnt a letteroffto .Mr. E. Stuart vcry "rapidly, and he came evcn to the redfnime house, and ton- sidering tbat we had both bad the samc cduca- tion.be made much thc best Phyiician, To reconcile Mr. Stuart to Mr. Goings was the most delicate operation I ever undtrtook. Thc idea of having" .Mary Stuart" for a daugh-ter-in-law, was quite flgrceable, and Mary needcd but to be seen to be loved. Mr. Stu art fortunately loved attention and respcct more than most mcn, and Mr. Goings believed inv plicitly cvprything I told him, evcn though found out tb'at the name of Brown was fab- he nlou Mr. Goin"s had also a great admiration for tlin "Trcatmcn of our country. 1 mado him believe that Alr. Stuart wasa compendium of Wcbstcr and Calhoun, his great, great men, So whcn they met, Mr. Goings bowed'respcct fullv to cvcrv word Mr. Stuart uttcrcd, jincl e.ved him rcverentially. Mr. Stuart said to me afterwards, "Ernest has cbo sen to marry into a vcry uninformed family, but tbe fathcr seems to have great natural sense, he is in fact what you may term one ofthe "bone and sinew men of our country Yes sir," returned I, "and"how pleasant to fpp tbat Ernest will turn to his own fathcr wilh such cxaltcd rcspect and admiration from the contrast I Some mcn mightbave thought the contrast nccded not to be so broad but your vain peo ple do not qnarrcl witb comphmcnts. rw nhipf tmnhle in our domestic rcunions, is the isnpposition the brotber and sister enter tain, that Mary and I arc a little in love with cach other, not an idle one eithcr, though we are reasonably devoted. Oh!Idid not tell you tbat Ernestine had bccomc Mrr. nei- thcr did I tell yon my last name. Well, I will not trouble you with ltso late m tho day. LtncraiES. A late scntimental writcr be- gins thus: There is a laxury in tbe unin tcrruptcd cnjoymcnt of sorrow." Much good may this luxury do bim. SPEECH OF MR. WEBSTER, AT MARSHFIELD. rcO.NCLUPED.i I have said, gentlemen, that in my cpinion, if it were desirable to placo Alr. VanBurenat me neaa ot uovernment, there is no chance tor him. Utliers are as good judges ns I am. But I am not able to sav that J see any State in me uiuou oi wmcn mere is a reasonable probability that IiOAvillgct tho votc. There may be. Others are more vcrscd insuch bta tistics than I am. But I sce not, and there fore I think that the issue is reduced cxactlv bctwecn Gen. Cass and Gen. Taylor. You may remembcr, that in the discussions of!844, when Mr. Birncy was drawing off votes from Mr. Clar, I said tbat every votefor Alr. Birney was balf a vote for .Mr. Polk. Is it not true tbat tbe Liberty votc abstracted from Mr. Clay's vote in thc State of New York made Mr, Polk Prcsidcnt? That is as clcar ai any historical facU And in my judgment, it will be so now. I considcr every Whig vote given to Alr. Van Buren, directly aiding tho elcction of Alr. Cass. Mark, I saj-, Whig vote. Now there may be Statesin which Van Buren may draw from tbe other side largcly. But I speak of Whig votcs, in this State and in any State. And I am of opinion tbat any vote givcn to Alr. Van Buren inurcs for Gen. Cass. Now asto Gen. Cass, gentlemen. Wonced not go to the Baltimore platform to instruct ourselves into what his politics arc, or how he will conduct the Government. Gen. Cass will go into tbe Government, as coming in by thc samc party that clcctcd Alr. Polk; and he will lollow in the lootsteps ol his illustrious prcdc- ccssors.' (Lauglttcr.') I hold bim, I confevs, in thc prcsent state ot thc country, to be the most dangcrous man in whom thc powcrs ot thc Executivc Chicf Alagistracv could well be placcd. He has described himself not as a conscrvathe, not as protcctive to prcsent in stitutions, but as belonging to tbe party ofPro gress. IIc bclicves in the doctrine of Ameri can destiny; and tbat that dcstiny is togo through wars, and invasious, and armics ofag grandizemcnt to cstablish a great, powerful, and dominecring Government over all this country. We know that if Alr. Cass could have prevcntedit, the treaty with J-ngland in 1812, would not have bccn made; we know tbat if Alr. Cass could harc prcventod it.the settlcmcnt of the Orcgon quej.tion would not have been accomplisbcd in 184C. e know that ucn. Cass could havc pre vented ;hc Mexican war; and we know that be was first and foremost in prcssing that war. Wcknow that hc is a man ot talcnt,oi abihty, ofsomo cclcbrity as a statcsman,in cvcn-way superior to bii predccessor, if hc should bcthe successor of Mr. Polk. But I think him a man of rash politics, pusbed on by a rash par ty, and committcd to a course of policy, as I believe, not in cnnsistcncv with bcncfit to the country. Therefore it is for you, anil for me, and for all of us Whigs to considcr, wheth- cr in this state ofthe case we can, or cannot, wc will, or will not, givc our votcs for the Whig nomination. 1 leavc that to cvcry m.m's conscience. I have tndeavorcd to state the case as it presents itsclf to me. Gentlemen, beforc Gen. Tnylor's nomina tion,! statcd always, whcn thc subiect was mcn tioncd by niy friends, tbat I did not and could not recommend the nomination of a military man to the pcople of the United Statcs, for thcoflicc of Prcsidcnt. It was against my con viction of what was dne to the best intcrests ofthe country, and to the eharacter ofthe le- pubbc. I statcd always, at the samc tiine.tbat if Gen. Taylor should be nomiaatcd by the Whig Convention, fairlr, I should not opposc his elcction. I stand noir upon tbe samc dce- laration. Gcn. Taylor has becn nominatcd fairly, as far as I know, and I cannot, therefore, and shall not, oppose his election At thc Fame time, tbcre is no man wbo is more firnily of o pinion that snch a nomination was notfit tobc made. But thc dcclaration, that I would not oppose Gcn. Taylor if nominatcd by the Whig party, was of course subjcct, in tbe naturc of tbings, to some exccptions. Ifl believed him to be a mcn who would plungc thc country in to further wars for any purpose of anibition or cunqucst,! would oppntc bim, let him bc nom inatcd by whom he migbt. If I believed that he was a man who would cxcrt his offit-ial in tluencc for tlie further cxtcnsion of the slavc jiower, I would oppose him, let him be nomi natcd by whom he niiglit. Bnt Idonot believe eithcr. (Ajiplauxe.) I believe tbat hc has bccn, from thc first. opposed to tho policy of thc Muxicnn war, as impropcr, impolitic and inexpedicnt. I be lieve from tbe best infonnation I can obtain and you will take this as my opinion, gentle men I believe, from tlie hcst infomiation I can obtain, tbat hc has no disposition to go to war or to increase thc liniits of skucry, or to allow ofthe annexatiou of new States to this Union. Gentlemen, so much for what may bc con sidered as belonging to the Frcsidency as a National question. But, thc case by nomcans stops here. We arecitizcns of Massachusctts. Wc are Whigs of Alassachusctts. Wc have supported the pte-ent Government of the State for years, with success; and I have thought tbat most Whigs were satisfied with thc Adininistration of the State Govcrament in thc hands of those wbo have had it. But now it is proposed, on the basis ofthe Bufl'alo Platform, to carry this into thc State cjc-tions. There is to bc a nomination of a candidatc for Governor, against Alr. Briggs, or wbocver may be nominatcd by the Whigs; and tjiereis to be a nomination of a candidatc for Lfeuien ant Governor, against Alr. Kced, or whoevcr may be nominated by the Whigs; and there are to be nominations against the prescnt incm bers of Congress. Now, what is thc utility of that Wc havc ten members in the Con gress of the United Statcs. I know not tcn mcn of any party who are more zcalotu, and firm, and inllexiblc in theiropposition against slavcrv in any form. And what will be thercsult Suppose that a considerable number of Whigs seccde from tbe Wbig candidatc and go to a candidatc of thc new party what will be the rcsult J)o not wc know what has been the case in this country Do not we know that this District has bccn unrcprcscntcd from montli tomontb, and from year to year, bccausc there has bccn an opposition to as good an anti-slaTery man as breathcs the air of this District On this occasion, and in this presence, I mav alludc to our present Represcntative, Alr." Jlalc. Do we want a man to give a betler vote in Con gress, than Mr. Hale gives Why, I under take to say that there w not one of thc Liber ty party, nor will there be one of tbe new party, wbo will hare the Ieast objectionto Mr. Ilalc, cxeept tbat he was not nominatcd by tbemselves. Ten to one, if the Whigs liadjiot nominatcd him, they would baTo nominated him tbemselves. Naw, gentlemen, I rcmember it to havc- oc- curred, inai on vcry lmponani qucsuons jii Congress, the vote was lost for want of two or throc members which Alasjacbusctts migbt havo" seut, but which, in conscquencc of the divibion of partics, she did not send. And uorr I fore- see tbat if in this District any considorable number of Whigs think it thcir dutv to join in the support ol'Mr. Van Buron, nnd in tho' support of gentlemen vrhom that party may nommate for Congress I lbrsec tbe samcr thing will take place, and we shall be without a I'cpresentativc, in all probahilitv, in tbe first scssicu ofthe next Congress, when thc vcrv i uame is to ne iougnton tms very slavcry ques tiom I am surc that honcst, ltitclligent and patriotic Whigs, will lay this consideration to thcir consciences, and judgc of itas they think they ought to do. Gentlemen, I will detain yoa but a moment Ionger. You know, pcrhap's, that I gavemv vote in Congress aqainst tlie treatv of neacls with'Alexico, beeause it containctl thcsn cea-- sion3 of territory, and broaght under thc an- thonty ot the United States. witb a l.lnW nf future admissiou into the Union, the "reat, vast, and almost unknowu countries of New Mcxi coand California. In thc scs?ioit bcfore tbe last. one o&-tlio: Southern Seuators, Alr. Berrien of Gcorwin had moved a resolntion. to tho efleet that thc warotigbt not tobecoutinucd for the nurnojcsf of conquest and acquisition. He dcclarcd tbat the war with Alexico ougbt not to be prosecu ted by this Government with nnr iew to tbo diMnenibcriiient of tbat Re pnblie, or to the ac quisjtion, by conquest, of any portion of her territory, That propojition iio introduccd !nr thc form of a rcsolution into Congrcsf dnd I believe that cverv AVbig iu Cougrcs?, but onc, voicu ior u. uui tne aenators belonging tc the Loco Foco or Denioeratic pertv vt td a- giunst it. 1 hc Senators from New York. to- tcd asainstit One of the Senato:s from Alaine Gcn.

That i,tlicso ientlcmen. sbmc of thum vorv nrominent. ninl triendi of Alr.

They were willing to trinjf in me icrntory, anu tuen havea stiualiMer.ni eontrovcrsey, whcthcr it should be slnvc or Irec territory 1 was ot opinion thst the tnio- and sate policy wa., to shtit out tbe whole question, by gctting no tcrritcry, acd thcrcbv Kccp oil tlic conlroerser. ihe territory wilt do us no good if frcc it will be an ineumli- ranccntree. lo n great cstent it will pro. diiee a great prepondenince in favor of thc south m the ocnatc, evcn if it be trec.

I5ut, gentlemen, man lmnortnnt cnsis. irt English history, in the reign of Charlcs 2d, whcn the country was threatencd bv Ihe ac eession of aPrince tolhe tbrone, who was n convert to tho Roman Catholie religion, then called the Unke ol lork, a proposition wa. made toexclode him from the tlironc. Somf said tbat was a very rash mcEsurc, bitught forwanl by very rash men, tbat they had bet tcr admit him, nnd thcn pnt limitaticii? um i him chain bim down restrict him. I.eir tho debatc was going on, a gentlcman is re ported to havc risen and cxpressed his senti ments by rather n grotcfque compari;on but onc of considerable' forcc. l hear Iiud ia tli ktMy ronr 1 S'ay, Mr. rtiitnkrr, aliall r .lmt l!-- i'vr Alid krrp litci ut, or khal! n e Ii t Irm m Aud fcrelfHc can?rt biiuoutnaiu Other more confidont spirits, who arc ofthff eharacter of AVormwell, wero for lettinjr li.m in, and disturbing all theinterests of the toii' -(ry. And when this Alexiean treaty cnnic b forc tbe Senatc, it bad certain elausts ctlin" New Alexico and California to the United States. A Southern gentlcman, Mr. Badger, of North Carolina, moved to ttrike out those elauses. Now yon understand, that if a mo tion to strike out :i claa.-c hc snjiportcd by oni third.it will be strucK oat that is. twn thinlM ofthe Senata must votc for cach cl.iusc, in or der to havc it rctained. The vcic- on th.it question was 38 to 15. Not one third. jnd why were. there not one-tlnrd Just bceause there were fonr New Englund Ser.a tors voling for thesc new tcrritorics. Tbat U the reason. 'I'hey said that we must have peaceat any rate. And there was thi- sort of apology which I coiifcsi rather :unucci ine nt tbc time that rertam portions of the prsblie press, that a good many respectrtblc pcople of the country, and especially in the large t many of whom I hold in gyat cstiniHtion, cri ed out "Peaee Peaee!

And i would bc wilung to go belore tlic pcoplc and Ieave it to thcm to sav, whcthcr they would carry on the war any Jonger. If they would, then they were the .irtificersct tbcir own for tuncs. I was not afraid of thc prople cn Ihat subjcct. Ifit had continued the war foine Ion ger, I woiild have prcfcrred Ihat Ihe wnr should continuc some longur, rn'Jicr than that those terntones Iymgon our bouthcin L-order, ibould come in hercatler upon that border. I should speak on this subjcct with ciore t onfi dcnce, were it not that other gentlemen of the same party witb myself, votcd for thc treaty. I votcd to strike out thc articles ot ccssion. Thev would havc been struck out if four of the New England Senators had votcd it. I then votcd against thc ratification of the trea ty, and that treaty would have failed if Ihrco .New hngland senators had vofed as J did, and Whig Senators too. I should dothe same thing again. and with niuch.inorc rcsolution- I would have ran a still grcater risk, I would havo endured a still grcater shock bcfore I would have ngrccd to anything rather than have becn a tiarticinator in anything, which should have a tendcney to annex Southern territory to thc btates ot the Coion.

To the GeneraNin-Chicf his acknowl cdgmcnts were especially due. He inspir- cd the whole army with valor and confi dtnce by his presence, not only at Buena Vista, but from the opening of the war on lhe Rio Graude. Jt is aluiost impnssible for you.gentlemen, he said, to understand the characler of that man as a command pr of an army. Therc is a rcsolution, a firmness.a dctermination in his manner and in his purposcs,that go a great way in Icading men to victory. It was ne er bet ter ilhntrated than on the field ofPalo AI to. He told Jlaj. Brown, when he left him with his small forcc opposite Alata moraj, "Maintain your position. I will nol say, I hopc to be back.or I shall try to backj.but I will be back on the 10th. Expcct me then, and maintain y ur posi tion." Everybod that knew him, knew he wonld be back, if alive to come. The army returned to Pointlsabel.asyou know. On the.eth, they fouglit at Palo Alto.and when nigbt came 011 they bivouacked in theopen field.and amid the grass, with not a tent over him, the General himself wrapped in his hlanket,and many.I can as sure you.iti not a little doubt and gloom. Our little army did not feel sure thcn.that they could whip threstimes their number, and Utetn.the best troops in Mexico. We had not tried our mettle, or measured wea pons with them. Many an eye did not close that night. Ringgold had been slain. A bloody day was before them.and many, if the army went on.were sureto bite the dust. But nnbody knew or could find out what Gcn. Taylor inlended to do. There helay.wrapped iu his blanket.and sleep ing.excrpt when dUtnrbed by officers as king for orders. Some were anxious to asccrtain his intenticns. His only answer was, 'Tell the men to sleep. Keep quiet. Sleep is the main thing nccessary.' Two or three officers were particularlj anxious to know uhether he intended to go on.or hold his position. But the only satisfacv tinn that could bc got was, 'sleep.' Ile disclosed to no one his intentions. There was a prerailiiig opiuion that it was too perilous n march lo go on. But General Taylor.toward inorning.disturbed hy some person deniandingorders.rcplicd.'nlfowthe men to rest. It is time enouch at sun. ri?e.' Then-ttirning over in his hlanket, he !.aid to an officer near, 'My mind is made up. mv mind is made nn.' but nn. '""ty knew hoic his mind was made up and yet they who knew him. knew if hi mind was made up, it was 110 use to iry to change it. In iho morning a council of war was summoncd, and there were cleven officers present.lhree only of whom advised to ad vnnce. Mind.I east no censure upon any one. A difference of opinion under such circumsiances.might have bcen expected. But they who knew lhe power of the Light Artillery.nnd had seen it play that dav.had conSdnce,that it could clear a wav for the army back to Fort Brown. 'Old Zack' for that i the name we call him, replied afier the consultation had broken up, 'Gentlcmcn, tce icill advance in fftccn minutes,' and forward they marched to Resaca dc la Palma. the result of which you all know. Old Zack kcpt his word to Maj. Brown, but alas, the braveand Iamcnted Major had received his death wounil. So at Buena Vista the personal charac ter of Gen. Taylor had a like infiuenceon the army. When the War Department deemed it necessary.in order to form a column to invade Mexico, via Vera Cruz, totake his Ilegulars from him.he was sure that Santa Anna would attack him. '1am the weak poiut,' he ofieu said, -and I know no wiii aitack me.' But he determined to derend his pnsition.and in order the best way to defend it.to advancf. Gen. Santa Anna has taken a hundred.I shall save a thousand. Gen. Taylor kept well inform ed ofthe approachaf the cnemy.by Gen. Wool's scouts.movcd oh to Saltillo.then on to Agua Nueva. It was proposcd at one lime to meet tlie enemy in advance of A gua Nueva.but ascertaining by his engin eers that their position could be turned.he resolred lo fall back toBnena Vista.asthe enemy approached him. Buena Vista is a military position that any soldior's eye xvould select for a defence. To no par ticular person is the credit of its selection due, -for it has bocn said.that even a wo man picked it out as a place torepulse an m a country wlicre me ngms ui pursons arc enemy. Various ofCcers have had the credit of its selection.bnt whatever partic ular credit is due,is certainly due to the Commander-in-Chief,who fought this bat tle. The Mexicans theinselves had fought a battle there. Santa Anna knew the ground so well.that he ordeted his Gen. (Minon) to lake and keep poss,ession cfit, in order to attack our rear. Gen. Min on got into our rear as ordercd but when he reached Buena Vista, he found us in possession of it. Tlie 22d of Feb., 4500 men.mostly raw troops.opposed to 20,000 oflhe enemy.was certainly not a very en couraging day. We did not feel quite so happy or so well,as over this bouutifiil la ble to-night. We thought of home.and of families and fricnds and our chance of death was much better.we thought, than of ever oeeing them again. For several days previous.Gen. Taylor was constant- ly engaged 111 making hts arrangements, and in writing home. It is said.also.that Kp inade his tcill. But he never shrank from hisduty.

The fact that he was supported as a candidate would make its way to millions who would never hear how and when he be came such, and that his own wishes and feel ings had been utterly disregarded in the prem iscs. Whatover ho or otbers might say, there would be thou;.ands incnu enough to fuppose that he was really a candidate with his own conscnt, if not at his own suggestion. No one can be entitled to subjcct him to such iraputa tion. Mnture and dispassionate reflection has but s.trcngthened our conviction of thc soundness of tho positions we maintaincd in 1844 with reference to the Birney operations of that per iod. We regard the nght of suflrage as a sol emn trust to bo exercised for thc public good, and of course to bt exercised in such a man ner that good may be done. Every electori3 morally bound to do :hatever may be fairly within his power to procure the nomination of an unexceptionable candidate for Prcsident, under auspices which will insurs him a chance of euccess, and he is farther bound to vote for that ooe among the candidates who have such a chance, by whoso elcction, in his delibcrate judgmont, the greatest good can be securcd and thc most ovil preventcd. Itcan Tery rarcly happen thnt the very one among twcnty milhons whom a majority ofthe pcople would prcfcr to all others can be a can didate still rarer must bc the occasion in which any candidate can be found whose opin ions on every important topic will accord pre ciscly with those of a majority of the pcople. Many votcrs must oftcn bc callcd on to make what is very improperly terraed a choice. bc tween two evils' that is, thcy must sccure a part ofthe good they dcsire to sce cITected by thc postponement of other objccts which also appear to them dcsirablc. Since we are not likely to have angels to rulc over us (at Wash ington), we are obliged to take men, and we cannot always havo thc best even ofthesc. We must cndcavor to clcct thc best wo can. The right of suflrage is not a weapon, to be used as spitc, or splccn, or caprice shall dic tato, but a mcans of promoting the general wclfare. We have scen the opposite theory run into the ground by tho Liberty party ,com mencingwith thc rcpudiation of all out impos sible candidates, and ending with an utter dis ruption even with regard to such candidates. It is not wonderful that a large portion ofthe Abolitionists have nrrivcd at tho conclusion that the truo course is not to vote at all. But for conscientious men to do this, is -rirtually to surrender the government to the unchccked control of the rcnal, thc vicious, and the sclf- seeking. We cannot rcgard this as the course dictatcd by lofty integnty or enlightcncd pa- tnotism. 1MPENETRABLE fEOPLE.
