have the honor 10 remain, with high respect

WIN. G. WooD, ESQ,
President Dem. Rep. Meeting in the city OF New
York, New York City.
The old General seems more positive than ever
in his avowa not TO suffer himself 10 be The can
ddale of any political party. The New York
Mirror, The Taylor organ in that city, accom-
panes The correspondence with The following
comments. We call the attention Of the Rcpub-
lcan TO the striking fact, that Trough and
Ready Club" organized with special view 10
the election Of General Taylor, is about 10 dis
solve its political organization al This early day,
because The old hero will not be their candidate.
How is tito be expected, then, that The people oil
this country, who have not banded themselves TO-
geIher with such an object, will surrender their
political associations, and sustain the election OF
an individual who will not avow his political
opinions, and who may differ in sentiment with
both parties7 The dissolution Of the Rough and
Ready Club in New York shows that The excite
men, OF Taylorism is fast subsiding, and those
who have espoused The "no.party" flag, will be
found returning 10 the ranks OF The political party
which they left under the enthusiasm Of The mo-
ment. Blu, 10 the Mirrors facts:
"Jusiice 10 The gentlemen composing The De-
mocralic Republican Rough and Ready Club, or
al least 10 its President, the only one Of them with
whom we are acquainted, requires US TO say that |
he Club Of which he was The head, was organ
lied in The belief by them that Gen. Taylor was
an unwavering Democrat Of The old school, and
as such would, in The event of his conserving 10
become candidate OF the Democratic party, |
serve 10 unite them more than any candidate now
spoken of in that party. The result shows that
The Old Hero will not consent 10 be used by Ell
Their party, and they will therefore be compelled
10 fall back uron their parry hacks, while Gen.
Taylor will be supported by The honest aud en-.
ihusiasiic members Of both parties, and be ri
mphanIly elected.
