In other portions of this paper will be pricet paid for ll.o;o productt there, fur
sound a letter of Gen. Lewis Catt, and .the liko avocation upon the healthy and
Iha substance of a speech, and resolutions, beautiful plain of Oregon, at tuch prices
of Hon. Henry Clay, which we copy from as proiislontwill command, when govern
tfca St. Louis Union. We have not been ed by tho prico ofihoxe brought from till
able to learn who has been nominated for1 Atlantic seaboard 1
tba Presidency, by either of the great poll. I Nothing short of an interposition of
tical parlies j but we aro inclined to be '
lieve that the Hod. Henry Clay has been
aominated by the Whigs, and Gon. Lewis
jCats, or llio Ibn. Jainis Buchanan, by
Iha Democrats. It appears, that at the
data of our latest intelligence from Wash,
ington, the Presidential election, now
nearly at hand, was likely to turn, mainly,
upon quetllont growing out of tho Mexican1
war. The Hon. Jamet Buchanan, and
George M. Dtilts, had written letters, In
which they took ground similar to that
oocupled In tho letter of Oenoral Cast.
The rallficalion ofthe treaty of peace on
the part of Mexico, and the discovery of
thegoMjnlnot of California, will both have
their influence on ihe election. Oenoral
Zaoharv Taylor his been nominated ei a
eaaidaU for tho Presidency, by the Na.
tlra AtMrican ptny, but It not likely to
ratsshe a nomination by tho Democratic
r .Whig party.
