"a SIGN In NORTH CAROLINA"
We do not exchange with the Mecklenonre
IN. CO. Jeffersonian, but are willing 10 take the
Republicans word, that The former paper IS
Democratic journal, and has avo~ed lis prefer
ence for Gen. Taylor 10 any one who would DC
likely 10 gel the nomination 81 Democratic Ma
,ional Convention. We tuIlher learn from The
Republican that the JefTersonan objects 10 IRA
,ernize" with the Northern Democrats in Ma
,ional Convention, ard invokes The South TO ac'
without regard 10 Convention.
The course OF The Jeffersonian is one OF Inc
few exceptions 10 The Democratic press IN lhe
South which has resolved TO stand by the rule
pointed out by The gallant Jefferson Davis OF Mis-
sissppi Devoted as he is personally 10 Gen.
Taylor, Col Davis loves his principles better
than men and is willing TO cooperate with the
Democracy oflhe Union in Convention assem-
bleG, in the selection OF some individual upon
whose soundne,s in regard 10 Constitutional
rights The South may rely. II The Convention
shall mol do justice 10 the South, then she may
feel called upon 10 act for herself on separate
organization. But, while the North contains
such men as Buchanan, Dallas, Woodbury., Cass
(whom we believe 10 be with us,) &C., the Demo-
cracy OF The South vii not "premalurely" surren-
der their principles and blindly support an indi'
vidusl, who, whatever his military merits, has not
yet formed an opinion upon two of the great po-
ltica questions oil the day, and who has been Ia.
ken up by a portion of The Wings as an "availa-
bic" candidate, desparing, as they admit, ofelect-
ing any man who will come out as lull.blooded
Wing.
We wish The Republican JOY OF its solitary
"sien in North Carolina" and, in return for lis
Kindness shall quote few items "for IFS benefit"
In The first place, the Salisbury (Norh carolina)
Watchman comes oul boldly for Henry Clay for
President in lS48. In the second place, we pro-
duce the opinion of that good Wing paper, the
New York Tribune, as 10 the sweeping prospects
OF the WING Taylor movement
The Epenin2 Mirror, which abors under the
hallucination OF imagining that there is Tay Tor
parry or feeling in existence somewhere, thus de-
scanls:
"tIr is great pity forihe Wigs aat they cannot
see phieh side their bread is tAc7ed. Their recent
lriumphs. We fear will prove their overthrow in
l94S. The banner of General Taylor alone can
lead them to victory. il requires no spiIll'of
prophecy 10 see This. The signs Of The times
are papable, and cannot be mistaken. Seventeen
ont of twenty Wing members OF The next Con.
oress, who have been written TO on The sub]ect,
declare for General Taylor, giving up all hope OF
ever eecling Mr. Clay.
"What will The Boston CtIrier and The fep
York Tribune say 10 lbis2'
"Why, Sir, we say that your twenty Wing
members OF Congress must have been very care
fully selected, in order to yield seventeen with
such an engrossing appetite for butler. And, in
deed, your own lamentaiion that the Wings are
so obiuse with regard 10 The buIlered side oil their
bread, shows that you also are aware that Tay-
lorism don't lake"
Lastly, We commend 10 the Republican the
following capital hit from lis neshbor OF the
Wing. Ii may derive "beneft" from its perusal.
We would inform the Wing, however, that The
Winchester Republican, one of The Taylor "no-
parry" organs, not long since disclosed The policy
which The correspondent of the New York Jour-
nal OF Commerce refers TO. II will be curious 10
observe what new patent the "no-parly" men
have taken out, TO dispense with The necessity OF
machinery
nTAYLoR CONVENTION IN VIRalHIA-A Wash
ingon correspondent Of the N. York Journal OF
Commerce STATES, on the authority OF letter
from Virginia, that measures have been, OF
are about TO be taken, 10 appoint delegates
from the different counties oil this Stale, 10 |
meet in Richmond on the 9Th Of January, |
10 nominate Taylor Electors. We imagine
there mus, be some mistake about this as |
those who seem 10 have The management Of This
matter have decided aniipaihy moi only 10 par
lies, but TO The machinery Of parry" And above
all. 10 Cauoue.- - c----~.;~.e uc-- 'hey |
are 10 proceed without the use Of machinery"
we confess we are al loss 10 know; but, as they |
eschew this machinery, welake i for
granted they have some other mode OF proceeding |
which will be equally efectual and less odious.
