The following letter from a NVashington cbr re$p ndent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, gives very interesting details of the last illness of Gen eral Taylor : Washington, July 10, 1850. The capital is shrouded in mourning. Pre sident Taylor is no more. He breathed his last at 35 minutes past 10 o'clock yesterday evening, and lies in State this morning at the Executive Mansion surrounded byl his grief stricken and afflicted family. It is impossible to convey to you in words the effect the appal ling news had upon, the minds of all classes here. And the same sympathy will be mani fested by all classes elsewhere. ,Few men ir respective of his exalted station as President of the U. States, have borne with them to the grave higher claims to a nation's sorrow, and few, whether in his day or ages past, have achieved mightier7 triumphs to render that name immortal. - HIS LAST ILLNESS, &C. I yesterday stated that his indisposition be- gan on uio rourin. un ine morning ormai oay be was, to all appearances, sound in health and in excellent spirits. In company with his (am ilv, and several of the heads of departments. he attended at the National Monument, to hear Mr. Fooie's Independence oration, and even up to rive o clock exhibited no symptoms of illness. However, whilupori the ground, he partook freely of the water; and then, after considera ble exercise in walking and exposure to the son. be " felt," as he expressed himself to Dr. Weatherspoon, " very hungry," and without re fieciing thai he was in an unfit condition to in dulge freely in fruits, etc., called for some re freshmenls, and afe heartily xf cherries and wild berries, which he washed down with co pious draughts of iced milk and water. At dinner, he applied himself again to the cher ries, against the remonstrance of Dr. Weath erspoon, arid in an hour was seized by cramps, which sooh took the form of violent Cholera morbus. His physician prescribed the usual remedies, but for a lime he resisted, deeming sponsible forlconduct with which he had noth ing todo. lie deplored , the strife which pre vails,' but did not hesitate to ascribe the cause lo sectional demagogues. jThe dictatorial license assumed by Messrs. Toombs and Stephens dis pleased him, and the more so because it came from a banded organization : but when it was hinted that his own friends wbuld move a vote of censure, he sunk undr the blow,- and con ceived that to be the most fatal stab of all. He was resolved, however, to pursue the line of pol icy to which he had thus! long adhered, though convinced that gentleman of the South medita- Hed his ruin. This, while it preyed upon his mind, only determined him the more to stand by his doctrines. It is, notwithstanding these facts, pretty well ascertained, that had he lived, re movals from the Cabinet would have ensued be fore the expiration of the month. The cloud was well nigh ready to burst, and in the deluge created, MessTs. Crawford and Clayton would hve been swept away. The conversation be tween the President, and those who waited up on him officially, including this ultra delegation, I -jam not prepared fully to repeat, but his phy sicians do not deny that it materially influenced hjs disease. Let conscience be their only pun ishment. From the Raleigh Register. Mr. Editor : I desire to call the atten tion of our Western people to the insincer- tbat he was then beyond immediate danger. Bells ran for joy, and even the boys , in -the S street lit bonfires and shouted in childish grat-; illation. The stream now to the White House! was greater than ever, but about seven in thej evening, the pall of gloom agalu shrouded allj faces, for it was announced the illustrious bero was dying. . j I will not attempt to describe the commotion) that ensued. Mrs. Taylor thrice fainted from excess of apprehension, and Col. Bliss, who! had never shed a tear perhaps upon the battle; plain, wept like an infant. At two hours pre vious the physicians refused to administer any more medicine considering his case hopelesl and in the hands of God. The heads of th department, corporate authorities of the cityj, the diplomatic body, and officers of the army and navy, paid their respects often during tb day, and seemed to entertain lively feeling of solicitude for his safety. Every thing thaft could contribute to the comfort of the" ,sicl, thenceforward, was, extended ; but the "sands of life had run out and his hours were num bered, f At nine the vomiting partially ceased, as all pain had disappeared about four in the after noon. But the system had wasted under the shock and gradually sunk beyond recovery.-f-Green matter was thrown from his stomach at intervals until 20 minutes past 10 that pecu liar coloration of bile that indicates the disso lution of patients thus seized.

It would be so much to the ben efitofbotb the Americans and the free negroes, that we would cheerfully pay a tax ot $5 per annum to effect it, smalt as are our means. It is a subject in which we feel, and indeed every man, and par ticularly every man of family, should feel a deep interest. Those men who have gone to Liberia, who went there in the darkest daysf the Republic and fought their way through wilderness savagps and wild beasts, and the Party must do something.

" I am about to; die I expect the summons soon I have endea- vored lo discharge all my official duties faith fully ;I regrei nothing, but I am sorry triat l am about to leave my friends." These vere his last words. He essayed to speak to his wife a few moments before his demise, but bis voice failed him.

I The unwearied; at tentions of his medical advisers deserve credit, and their skill is unquestionable. It is believed however, that had the .mirld of the President not not been laboring under embarrassment and affliction, proceeding from causes named, the disease could have been checked, and bis life saved. But now that be is gone, it is vain to speculate. One succeeds him whosel sensi tiveness is not quite so keen, because, intimate with all the trials of politics, and therefore pos sessing fortitude sufficient to withstand them, Those surrounding the dying President at the moment, were his own family, including there are the names of Geo. Bower of Ashe ; Calvin Graves of Caswell, Henry Cansler of Lincoln, Asa Biggs of Martin, J. L. Gains of Montgomery, Lewis Mars teller of New Hanover, James S. Smith of Orange, Weldon N. Edwards of War ren, W. P. Stallings of Gates, John L. Baily (then) of Pasquotank, besides many others from all sections of the State. Is it possible these men could not have se cured Free Suffrage in that Convention. hadgthey sincerely believed in the doctrine and desired to have done so ? But, sir, the strangest truth yet to be told is the fact, that every living light of them ex cept three, voted for the amended Consti tution, and thereby expressed their oppo sition to free suffrage. Mr. Edwards vo ted against the amended Constitution, and Messrs. Biggs and Smith did not vote at all. Now for another scrap of history : Du ring the Legislature of 1840 - 41, a bill to establish free suffrage was introduced, read the first time and passed. On its second reading the subject was thus sum ic party, and especially as applicable to the Candidate nominated by that party for the Presidency in 1814. It happened to be in our power, without losing time, to turn to the record of the precedings of that Convention. In the Globe of June 0, 184 4, is to be found the report of the pro ceedings of the Baltimore Convention on the 29th day of the proceeding month, in which Mr. Frazier of Pennsylvania, (Reah r razier of Lancaster, the 44 war horse of democracy.) when about to change his vote from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Polk thus expressed himself : 44 Who are we going for now? (said Mr. F.) We are going for the man who fought -so bravely and so undauntedly the Whigs of Tennessee the pure whole hog LOCOFOCO Democrat, who goes against a Bank of the United States and all cor rupting monopolies: against the distribu tion of the proceeds of the public lands against the assumption of the debts of the States by the Federal Government ; against the Tory Whigs of this country and tyrannising England ; in a word a man who goes against the ring streaked and speckled Whig party, and all its odi ous, abominable measures.'"
