TAYLOR AND THE STANDARD. ' The exnonent of Democracy lit North Carolina, in his eagerness to do lbs thing up brown, and airreeebly to the implies tion of hia contract, cannot keep his paws off General Tavlor. Not content slone with its endrosementVnd praises of the eenioriovB Jseb Thompson, the Stand rd picks another dreadful flaw in the conduct of the ezrecioui old Zacnary at Monterey Old Rough can neither fight, treat, eat or speak in that city of renown, ao aa to sail exactly the fastidious judgment of the Polkilcs. , His last offence ia a speech. At an American dinner in Monterey, ucn. Taylor waa toasted as the future President of the United States; he of course Mt "call ed out, and briefly reiterated what he hsd several times written, that he would never owe to s party his elevation to that dia tiugoished office. Now, the Standard is concerned about this matter and expresses its conviction of the bad taste of Rough and Readr, Xo be makinr speeches before his officers and men on the delicate subject of the Presidency. The Standard's heart is troubled about this thing for what reason, we leave the people to divine. If the utu umu knew iubi no wmm uujrtuiiK iiiui. self (0 the delicate tritieitm of the 8lsnd ari, in these matters of taXe, ho would no doubt feel uneasy, and refiain hereafter from openingliie mouth, either to treat, eat a public dinner, or reply to a toast. N Whig, from Tom Corwin to Zsch ary Taylor, can make a speech to please ths simon-pure-democracy. In order to suit their exquisite taste, they are affec tionately advised to apply themselves to the diligent perusal of Mr. Haywood's Tariff speech; to ths speeches of M r. Ben ton on the Texas boundary, and the Lieu tenant Generalship; and to Mr. Hannegan'a Oregon speech, whero he said that, in a Wrtsin CtingeCtJwhfc fact.) a eer ain high functionary woulit he buried so deep in infamy that the hnnd of resurrection could never reach lum! r.ni fving documents these ; if you do not like Taylor s speeches read them. . .

By ths official quarterly return, made by the Sscretary of the Treasury, it ap pears that the expenses of ths Army, lor only three months, ending on the 80th of June, were sixteen miluoos fire hundred and seventy two thousand five hundred and niue ty-four dollars, (18,972,504,) anil the whole expenses of the Government, for the asms period, were $22,405,505. As the whole number of troops, ' then in service, were less than those now assem bled, it follows that ths expenses fur the present 3 mouths will be grestly increased. .The expenses of ths army alone, at this rats, will be over sixty millions, a year, and this, loo, withoat including 'pens inns, fortifications, and numberless other item. The expenses of the year, for all descriptions of expenditures, cannot fall much below a hundred millions and. if ws ret eft" with that, wo -shall do pretty - well.

Lord Palmerston'a remarks, in ths British Houss of Commons on ths indebt sdness of foreignjitates to British subjects, which we poulishsd a few days since sre in a tons of gratuitous sffensiveness, so far a they relate to'lhe Statea of this Union, There is no spolgy to be made for wilful repudiation none for iodifferepce in resr pect to the, psymeotot. just.,.rjebist., Bitt to throw upon tits States of this Union without discrimination ths charge of de falcation and to do ao as Lord Palmerson haa done it with an ill concealed aneer and a taunting threat is to give forth an inti mation false in itself and to tsks the atti tuds ol ons designing to give or to play the bully. It would. bt quits in keeping with the characteristic demeanour ol tha British nation to wards ths United States, if upon our coming out of ths Mexican war, burthened with a heavy national debt and tired of hostilities the Paliament and ths Press of EnglapdJshoulJ find a favorite and frequent employment -ioiUfyiflg-the American people. Perhaps ths termination of the Oregon controversy, showing as it did a palpable want of firmness, with much inconsiderate bravado, on the part of Mr. Mr.' Polk's Aministration, mar tend to encourage the arrogance which forms so marked a feather of English regard for this country. However this may be the manifesto of Lord Palmerston in the House of Com mons will no doubt be the signal and the warrant for alt aorta of vitsperatiootio the journals of Grest Britain, And this is ths more to be regretted on , account or the humiliating fact that thero are JStates ia this Union-whose conduct as debtors give soma show of jualics to thesa iavtc- tives.t ,,. -v- ru-i The j remarks of Lord Palmerston have called forth an answer in the New.

If you intended to convef an idea that this Government was in default you were grossly in error and rhould know better; if you intended to imply a liabibility on tbs part of tbia Gov ernment to piy a sta's d b', then let me tell you where and how you may make a capital speculation for me if you will engage that the government of her majesty Queen Victoria shall promptly pay ibe bond issued many years ago, by the cities of f Edingbsrgh, fGlasgo , " . Liverpool, and soma others I could mention, snd on some of which not one cent of interest ev er hss been paid, I will engage that every State bond issued by a "ballot-box" State which may be in default shall be as prompt ly paid, provided you allow me a abort and reasonable time to go over and bey up your own repudiated securities alluded to above. While I inform yeur lordship that the United Statea Government owee nothing, and has never been in default aince its or ganization. allow me to add that also it it never yet has been called on to resort to an income us to pay its debta; that last adroit cloak of repudiation that bright example aet by England, might easily have been adopted by any of our Stales, had their notions of honesty squared with that of England. In plain English, my lord, if I hold your bond paying five per cent, interest, and you 1st me three percent., you readily per eeivs how moeS mora conveniently you can pay your debt to me than you can escape from the imputation ofdirect ocabsolute repu diationnd this is the true character" of what you call an "income tax."

The result of the Congressional election mdirEdatott Diali'ilw:tyti itable to tho intelligence and patriotism of the voters of the district, as it must be grat ifying to the Whigs throughout the State. Col. Outlaw, the auoeeaaful candidate, ia not only a gentleman of rich mental en dowments, but one who possesses, in an eminent degree the qualities of both, heart and mind necessary to make an able and a faithful representative. We know him well, from an intimate connection with him for some time as associate Editor of tbia paper; and we but repeat the sentiment of all who know him best, when we com mend him to hia colleagues in the next Congress as a man of genius, learning, pu- rity; firmness and integrity; and every ' wV wuiuij ui uicir cuiiuuuiuso m eo-iaoorer in die national councils, aa ho is of the high trust reposed in him by an enlightened and virtuous constituency. -Hia triumphant election is also a stern rebuke to his com petitor for his blind submission, during his short career in Congress, fa tha dictates nf. the men in power. ' They will find no truckling in Col. . Outlaw, . who Is a bold and independent thinker, speaker and actor. A friend in Windsor writes j "but for the swamps and creeks being impassible, he would have received nearly 1000 majority in the district." ORANGE DISTRICT. Whileevery Whig every trueTcpublican must deeply lament the defeat of the vir tuous and gifted Kerb in this district, there is much in the result for comfort snd en couragement. The district gave Mr. . Polk 779 majority at the last Presidential elec tion. The reduction of this majority, by the power of truth, through the instrumental ity of its eloquent and fearless defender. Join KxsXfto liO, shows that light ia spreading, and the great cause of pure re publican Government ia ateadily and firmly advancing. - Let the W nigs or that district maintain their ground, renew their efforts, and one more struggle will proclaim their tnumpnand, we trust, under the same gallant leader. , ' ' ; r ' The last Hillsborough Recorder says by the late freshet, nearly all the mills and bridges on Little River, and on Fist River,' commencing, nign up in ferson, were swept away.
