THE PAT1U0T, Genebak TatlobAbboabv Jf we were par ticularly desirous if an "English opinion, respect ing tha. Whig candidate for the Presidency and in atich ease we should of course seek a fair, un prejudiced, ; enlightened opinion there ia no journal into which we ahould look for if with so much reliance as into the London Examiner. 'fhe principal editor of that paper, Mr. Albany Fonblanque, hat long enjoyed a reputation of the very highest order for large intelligence, candor and political acomen $ , and WreOban any other public writer in England he enjoys the confi denco of the most liberal and comprehensive thinkers among his countrymen. For the an nexed extract from a late number of the Exami ner we ife indebted to the Boston Courier i "' ' tT - ..The nomination ol General I'aylo.-iand , lhe course of his relations with the party of which he is now the declared representative, indicate better prospects in the republican horizon than have been visible for many years. It is yet possible that we may see " discretion, moderation and in tegrity 'V pjeyail in the choice of the cbit-f magis trate of America. General Taylor is not a trad ing poiitican. The qualities he lately displayed in the field, and the judgment with" which he kept himself aloof from the eitrt me party that had obtained his services'aS a .soldier, concentra ted public' attention and' esteem Upon him. lie is the only man, we believe, since the p real race oi Aioericon I'resKJenl. wne has at once united luuJ enurciy, now, we can aaj, mat we nave many parties. -By Democrats and Av higs, I neara oi noinmg prejudicial to her moral ciiarac- p'an succeeded, and the prey was secured. The first communication which the mother of Frances received touching the mattetYtwas made by tb same agent, ana then sbe , was told tnat oppo sition wa useless Brother Matfltt and t raoces were engaged and would be married at all vents, and she might as well consent and make the best of it. , ' The irlarriaire was donium mated there beinu only thioy-seen years difference in the ages of the parties but it has brought with H none ol the bliss which had been promised Frsnces. As to religious influence, they had all evaporated. jxot a word did sbe hear upon tba subject from Maffitt,or those in his service ia the matter of the marriage, from the moment of the commencement of the tragedy." She had beeO carried away with golden dreams oiele vation her brain bewildered with phantbms; but the period of thet intellec tual halluc!ntian was of short duration. She bad soon to grapple with realities'. But we forbear. A portion of the history has been Riven i but the rest, and by far the most mysterious and illus trative ot character, remains behind. lhat the poor cirl wns nhapDr in her new and unnatural position, was an event that might nave oecn expected but lat sbe would so soon fall a victim to her misfortunes has taken all by surprise.' She ever had perfect health until her marriage, but Tor the last six months ens bed been rapidly sinking under the influence of grief .and moriiticaiion. bbe was defamed the . worst at tributes of character attributed to her and many of the tales of her traduces were, by mistaken friends, whispered in her cars. M3er heart sunk, and life becaize a burden. : Tho functions of the brain became deranged, and 'she died in convul sions. '- At the present we forbear reflections. This much, we think the public entitled to, at present) but we are mistaken if more is not forthcoming from other quarters. We knew nothing of Mrs. Maffitt until circumstances threw the information in our way ; and we confess, little as we thought of Airs. Maffitt, so many strange accounts had been given us, lhat we thought her none loo good, for the destiny upon which we suppose she hed recklessly rushed. But authentic information, from various fuarttrssj changed our of llle .-.i jvTton ti ;:,;::;;-;N.UAIBER:.32j - Minesota! jThis is the euphonious nam gfv w rrgiuii tjmz, porta oi wucon sin and Iowa, ia which, as , VVestern papers ad vise us, incipient steps have been taken for the formation of a territorial government.' ' Several promising settlcmenta have" ilready been made m the bounds of the ttert; territory. ' The soil, for the most part, is represented to ha Wfrv (mad t the country is finely watered and timbered and the climate is thilder and more irenial than in tho corresponding latitude in fJPWf England., c. VV well remember it was but a few years ago when, flour, pork, and potatoes were sent from this prfrt for the supply of the few families settled where now is the beautiful and flourishing city ot Milwankie. Iowa was tben unknown, save as t wild hunting ground of the Indians snd w remember pullubing, by request, the proceed ings at Dubuque then withoet the limits of the organized States or territories of the Union of a seL'-coostituted court, to try a man accused of murder. " The few people then at thai feniote point, though beyond the jurisdiction of law, elec ted a judge, sheriff", and projecting attorney, ein pannelled a jury, assigned the prisoner counsel. tried, convicted, snd banged the murderer ; and, to show that every thing had been done righi. sent us a certified statement oi all trieir proceed ings lor publication! iniswas.out little more than ten years ago. Now, Dubuque is a flour ishing town in the limits of tbe state of Iowa. In a few years more, Mioesota, whose name sounds so strangely, will be knocking for admission into the Union as a sovereign State. Nothing in his tory surpasses, of even equals, the growth Of the ar Northwest. -The -er scarcely becomes fa miliar with the names of it territories, and geog raphers are at a loss to define their limits on the maps that grade our walls, when like Minervj springing into life in full panoply, they challenge our admiration as firmly constituted, prosperous, independent commonwealths. Its history is a ro mance, surpassing in its facts the wildest crea- ofia of fiction. liuffiilo Com- 0. primary assembles, in Seperate and mixed meet ings, be seems td have been nominated. These nominations he appears to have accepted one af ter tbe other; without concealing or suppressing the fact lhat be held the opinions ol the Whigs and now that the Whigs as a body, have named him their rjarididate,- he frankly tells them he will -not be a peRi?JTSidefeWrh - - - a ieiierjtHit puoitsbed by Oen. i ay wr to cor rect some misconceptions that had gone abroad concerning him, confirms our impression of bis worth. There is no;hing in the letter that indi cates genius or imaginative impulse: but it is markeJby strong sense and excellent feeling. Its writer understands and discriminates the posi tion and duties cf the chief magistrate of the great republic. "can- combine the honest mainten ance of his own opinion with constitutional de ference to the national will. General 1 ay lor de clares thai he will not be a candidate in a strait eoed and sectarian sense. Having no wish to be a partisan President be refuses lb be a party -candidate, in the sense lhat would mnke him one. He does not engage !0 lay violent hands indis criminalely upon public "fficers,. good and bad, who may differ in opinon with himself. He viU not force Congress by the coet,'.?n 9 ve' to, to pass laws to suit him or pass none. . Are we tiot justified in regarding the prc!,a e lEngrond and . .A tnerica t Public opinion may work itself clear under such auspices, and the bel ter parts of republican government develope and perfect themselves. We look upon such a Pres idency, now we hope almost certain, as full of promise for the internal happiness of A'.r.erica, and for perpetual and amicable intercourse be tween the two great Anglo-Norman nations. The election of General Taylor will show that, as men unquestionably etili survive in the Uni ted States net unworthy ia be named with Wash ington, Franklin and Ada its, so the large majori ty of the American people. are still able to appre ciate, and worthy to be served by them.

The result was,, that ' she JfRUnued to attend until she became imnres taed.8cdfoally professed conversion, and joined the church as ? robaiioner. - Soon after this, .France's was asked, b"y a friuud of Mnlliit. whom we shall not now name, how she would like to iecome the wife of -MrvMHfBCThe girl m ut ter asloniiSihent answered,' Why, he is old enough to be my grandfather V The ifty.ives were then laid-before the mind of the unsuspecting girL-i-Brother Maffitt was a V?rjto man, and the anion would help berio her relipoi:: f ourse ahe would travel with him' and see the World he was a very popular, preacher, and mingled in the best society she would be a perfect lady, and . associate with the most accomplished ladies in the nation besides, brother .

The rt-buk .vus, the ler which cannot be traced to one source and that source, with us, is entitled to no rerpeCt what ever.

"--r-- zr.rVs inoii'rovjso and slavery in Labloraia Mr.- Bu chanan, id Jiis jrecent speech at Washington, thua remarks: Slavery never will exist in California. Both the will of its people and the laws of nature have decreed the exclusion of slavery from that territo ry. The people already there are nearly unani mous upon this subject : and tbe emigrants who are now crowding into this fine and fertile coun try are chiefly front tbe middle and northern States. Besides, the soil, the climate, and the productions of California are opposed to it, and the art of man cannot carry it there. The pow er of Congress cannot legislate it into that territo ry. They may adopt the Wilmot Proviso, the Missouri compromise, the Senate's compromise, or resolve to do nothing, and the practical result will be precisely the same.". Such being the case, is it not utterly ridiculous and absurd for cither the North or the South to beCC.m? excited in reference to tbe W ilmot Pro v iso, "the rJf ' of its passage or nonpaisiage being, as Mr. Buchanan ijiows, absolutely identical f Success or Vlukk Hoads. Tbe people ol this section are now reaping the benefit of the plank roads. We hive now extending from this city four distinct lines of plank roads one extend ing to Boonville, oh the north, a distance of tu:.rtV two miles ; one to Bridgewater, about 20 miles to the south, and soon to be extended 20 miles far ther; another to Woterville, 20 miles southwest, and to be extended 15 miles more to Hamilton; and the fourth extending westward to Rome, 10 miles, and forming by junction with othejs at Rome at uninterrupted pJlank road cbmraunication whh Thrnort m?rn"parts of OnetdaTand liewts cotrn. ties, and Lake Ontario and Salmon river in Os wego county. There are also several direct and lateral extensions of this line now it progress and in contemplation, ".'iich, w;ien completed, will link the extme rOtittiern counties of the State, and c",)en ?0'sy and rapid communication be sections which bave hitherto enjoyed but little intercourse with each other. V, All the plank roads that have been put in operation in this State are doing a prosperous and profitable business. The roads m tbfs section are all reaping a rich harvest ot toll. We mentioned a few days ago that the Rome ond Oswego road had divided 6 per cent on the profits of the last C months. Wa learn, that, after paying this large dividend, one third nf the tolls have been invested as a sinking fund, thus making the earning of tbe road during the last year about 9 percent on its capital stock. The entire cost of the rood was about tSo.OOO. Since its construction, a very large proportion, of the travel reaching Oswego by way of the lake has gone over this route. W?e noticed recently in a Milwaulkie, Wisconsin paper, that the receipts for tolls, on the Chicago plank road already : mount Mono hundred dollars a day, and it is yet completed only about 12 miles.

The tr'anslatorj of tbe Bible have left the Hebrew word Selah. which occurs so often in the Psajms..as they foundl. it. ana oi course tne .ngun reaaeroiten asks his minister, or eorne If arned friend wht it means. And the minister or learned friend, has most of ten been obliged to confess ignorance because it is a matter in regard to which the most len'rhed have by no means been of cn mind.

Sommer, after examining all the seventy-four pasrages in which the Word occurs, recognises in every case " an actual appeal or summons to Je hovah. They are calls for aid and prayers to be henid, expressed either with entire directness, or if not in the imperative, Hear Jehovah ! or a wake Jehovah !' and the like still earnest addres ses to God that he would remember and hear," &c. The word itself be regards as mdicaling a blast of trumpets by the priests. Selah, itself, he thinks an abridged expression used for Higga ion Selah : Higgaion indicating the sound of the stringed instruments, and Selah a vigorous blast of trumpets. JJibliotheca Sacra.
