TAYLOR, ranting largely on the incidents of the Bat ilo Alto, Uesaca de la Palma and Monterey, k, in his last Annual Message, entirely for th ere was such a person as General Tatlor. i a sufficient indication of meanness and lit- r st ; THE MEXICAN TARIFF. The Standard4uarrels with ua, for doubting the President' authority to establish imposts in the Mexican Cities which have been conquered. We have not doubted that contributions may be levied in this way, by the right of conquest. But it must be done by the Conqueror. All we say is, that Jamss K. Polk had no right to levy these duties because he is not the Conqutror. Either the conquering Gener al, or the poWer which can wake War, under our Constitution, is the Conqueror. The President of the United States, we take itdoes not come within the category He has not the Constitutional right to make war, (though he did commence this..) and he. did not gain these victories. The right to levy these impost duties, belongs either to Congress, the War making power or to the commanding General who conquered and caa properly belong to nobody else. We, therefore, must think that this act was an As sumption of power in the President. The affair might have worn a different aspect, if j Mr. Polx had claimed and exercised the right, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. But he does not take that ground. His order is given as President, and he has called to his aid hia Secretaries of War and the Treasury. It is entirely, as he understands it, a Presidential op eration, and therefore unauthorixed by the Consti tutioni the laws of War, or the right of Conquest That it is good policy if properly dohe we have never doubted. So, though we may" have had cause for War against Mexico, and Congress be ing then iu eession, might very properly have declar ed War, still, iu either ease, the propriety or policy of the act, does not purge the unwarranted assump tion of power by the President, in doing what be longed to others. It might hate been properly enough done', hut it was not his business to;d it. But it suits his peculiar notions not only to wear the hon ors, but to exercise the power?, belonging to others- VIRGINIA ELECTIONS. t Make way for the Old Dominion! fThe accounts from Virginia, though very partial, render it almost Certain that this State, which has PRACTICE vs. PREACHING. 7 Our friends, the Loco Focos, are terribly annoyed because some Whig Editors have hoisted the flag of old "Rdugh'and Ready" as their candidate for the , Presidency.

Twenty-eight Loco Foco members vo ted against suspending rules 1 thus showing their hostility to " Old Rough and Ready1 at the outset, by endeavoring to prevent even the consideration of the Resolution. The Reeolution having been taken up, Mr. Jacob Thompson, a Loco foco from Mississippi, who had previously denounced Gen.

Republican, of the 2 1st instant, explains itself : . Fort Hill, April 9, 1847. Dear Sir : The letter I wrote to you, and which you desire permission to publish, was written with , the feelings called forth by the letter from you, to which it is the answer. I have not kept a copy and cannot say whether it is of a character, either from ! manner or matter, which would make it right to pub lish it As a general rule, 1 ever avoid appearing in the Public Press, when I can well avoid it; but as I have never written a line, containing a sentiment in my life, that I would be unwilling the world should see, 1 leave you to act as you please in relation to it. With respect, I am,' &c. J. C. CALHOUN. C. N. Webb, Esq. Fort Hill, March 20, 1847. Dear Sir : I received with your letter the paper, yon were so kind as to send me. I'see that, notwithstanding your kind feelings to wards me, you have greatly misjudged me in think ing I ever joined ' the fallen fortune' 6f Mr. Van Buren. The troth is, that I have not been able, with my principles and policy, to act with either party, except occasionly, for the last 17 years. I differ from both on several important questions ; and, a mong others, the prescriptive policy of turning op ponents out of office, indiscriminately, and bestow ing their places, as rewards, for partisan ervices on the least meritorious of the respective parties, and agree with each in some particulars. Mine has been an independent course throughout ; and hence I have been compelled to separate from the party iu power and act with those out of power, during the period mentioned. I never separated from the weak to join the strong, but from the strong to join the weak. I seek no office, and desire none, and only continue to represent the state in the senate, because it is un willing I should decline. I .would not accent the Presidency but from the people, and thence from a sense of duty only. Nothing can induce me to sac rifice my independence not even to retain favor of my native State. If I, in 1837, supported Mr. Van Buren, it was because he was forced to sustain the measures I had bupported against him and Gen. J ack- son, and because the Whigs took ground against them ; and not because 1 joined him or his fallen for tunes. I had no motive to do either, while I had strong ones to support the measures which I appro ved; it would nave been ntgniy censureaoie in m to turn against them, because he had been forced to support thera. v With great respect,? I am, fee. J. C. CALHOUN. C. N. Webb, Esq. rfjws a id fearless Whig, ha "headed" the Admin titration, and be.iten Ltake (Loco) by about 400 votes! This is Glory enough, if nothing else had been ac complished, i But, it ig also certain, that George W. Boiling has beaten Gen. Dromgoole, the victor of many a well- fouxht battle; and ono of the big guns of Loco Foco- isia, mtji-uf jreiersDurg uisirici. And it is also certain, that Samuel Watts (Whig) has beaten Atkinson (Loeo) in the Norfolk District. In the Alexandria District, John S.

And it is confidently stated byJlail Road Passen gers, also, that Nevton (Whig) has beaten Beale (Loco) In the Sth D istrict. And thatlferfutg-er (Loco) has been defeated in the 10th District, where Polk's majority was over 700 votes. We are afraid Mr. Ritchii, of the Union, will ne ver survive this result. It was bad enough in all conscience, to be placed under the ban of the Senate, but after the " indignation meetings" in Virginia, such a result is enough to ruffle even the proverbial equanimity of this political veteran.

The President of the United States is expected to honor this semi-centennial celebration with his presence, and the Secretary of the Navy has consented to deliver the Annual Address before our Association. All the graduates of the University are cordially invited to attend. The Alumni of 1816, 1S17, and IS 13, will be especially welcome, the first having been the classmates of the Hon.

The " National lntelligenceif, a Journal .of well known caution in its statements, after referring to the fact that three-fourths of the prominent men in the army are Whigs, uses the following language in regard to the two commanding Generals : ."It is still more generally known, indeed it is known universally, that Gen. Scott., the Chief in command of the Army, and Gen. Taylor, who has distinguished himself 60 greatly, are both Whigs, in all their opinions and sentiments." FOR THE KEQISTEK. LIEUT. FRANCIS T. BRYAN. Mr. Editor : I have placed the name of our gal lant Townsman at the head of this communication, to attract, if possible, our citizens to a proper self- appreciation, riorth Carolina has long enough borne the reputation of carelessness about her chil dren. It has grown into a maxim, and that maxim has become trite, That her sons need t6go abroad to receive the reward of their merits." It is high time that this should cease to be so, and an oppor tunity is now afforded for the citizens of this place, in some degree, to act for the redemption of the character of the State. By gallant and glorious achievements, has the young Officer, whose name heads this communication, appealed to her maternal pride to glory in his fame, and to her maternal affec tion to support and elevate it In the late important battle of Buens Vista, his was a most important and responsible position, and according to the report of iivs iviajor vrcnerai, rc was nuea oy nun wiin con spicuous skill and bravery." H.arly on the morning of the 23d, he was detached with Lieut. O'Brien, with 3 pieces, to counteract the effect of a 12-pounder which commanded the Amer ican position, the fire from which was soon effectual ly silenced by a few shells skilfully planted in the midst of the enemy's gunners, under the direction of Lieut. Bryan. It was his 3 pieces that had every horse and man killed or wounded around, and it was he that the Indiana uegimeut so inzloriously deserted. The enemy had advanced within crape range, and were sweeping every thing before them, when he came upon the detachments of Lieuts. O' Brien and Bryan, whore his progress was arrested, and before the showers of iron hail, which assailed him, squadrons ot battalions fell like leaves m the blasts of Autumn. Thrice during the day, did the Artillery roll back the tide of success from the ene my, and maintain the elory of the American arms. and brilliantly conspicuous in that display of skill and courage, shone the services of our fellow-towns man. It is said of him. in comunction with others. that he rose with the crisis, and proved himself worthy of an alliance with the most distinguished and brave. Where the battle raged fiercest, the storm wildest, and the peril most imminent, he stood firmly and heroically to his post, and worked such carnage in the ranks of the enemy, as to make his columns roll to and fro like skiffs upon the billows. Is there no meed due to valor? Shall no honor be paid to courage? Is there to be no encourage ment of 8k"iH and talent ? No devotion to patriot ism ? The constituent is ever interested in the suc cess of her representative. Honored by his gallant bearing, and distinguished by his noble actions, she should yield something gratitude, at least, in re turn. Lieut. Bryan is from our midst, tmr imme diate representative his deeds are our deeds, his glory out's, and his fame our fame. It is submitted with deference to the Intendant and Board of Com missioners of this City, that some public demon stration of gratitude is due to him for-his distin guished and efficient services; .not a mere vote of thanks .bit some su.bstanUaV,mementO: whiph may; be preserved and looked upon, and afterwards trans-! mitted. , There is no stimulant to, intellectual cour- - "1 -!"'
