Here's what the Xenia Torchiight, lead mg Whig paper of Ohio. says ofGen, Tay-
 er and his nomination for the Presidency.
 No PoLITIcIANs.--The most farcical part of the Presidential movement, is the serio- comico manner in which the ringleaders people aud not by politicians. Nothing is wider of the truth; and we never see the as- seriion made, without seeing with the minds eye, a broken down, ten or twenty years ago politician, hiding his wrinkled, crafty, and woe-worn, but hope-reviying yisage be- hnd hts sleeve, and chuckling over the specious and cunning lie he has set aAoat A movement of the people, quotha! Very far from 1t. We have seen accounts of Fay Tor meetings held in few of the cities of
 the country trough aud ready'' material is usually found in abundance-but the people were not lheye taking part in the proceedings. These meetings have usually been puny, sickly, and 'sizzlingn affairs, whose ge,ters up and prime movers were broken down ofice-hunters, whose lease holds upon the good opinion of the:r fellow citizens have run out but whose restless spirits urge them to h,fzza for Taylor, in the hope iha. in the cla,ter they may have lit- tle life blown into their own partially de- iunct carcasses, and their unappeascd and anappeasable hankering after office receive at least momentary qualification. These men usually have about as much respect for the intelligence and prudence of the people as they have for the intelligence and pru- dence of a pack of bloodhounds, and not a whit more. What is there about Gen Tav- Tor that should induce the peaceable. quiet, aud order-loving people of the United States to prefer him to any and every other man in the country /: Within a twelve month, he was an utter stranger to them, and he is only known 10 them now, as the successful lea der in most unholv and infamous invasion of the territory of a weak and sickiy sister republic. They know him to be most adroIt skui~breaker, throat cutter, house burner, and woman and child-slayer-or rather that under his direction and superyis- Ion there things are done up most sciea- uhcally and by the book--but beyond this they know nothing of him whatever We ha5e more confidence ifi .he mass of the American people than 10 believe they are wiling to receive Iiese as manifestations oi the ability necessary for Chief Magistrate. There are perhaps many very homes, men ill the country who may think that if man can fight well, he is therefore qualified for any station in life; but the schoolmaster has been abroad in the land in vain, if these kind Of people constitute any thing like majori- y ot the people. These Taylor patriots can blow away now as hard as they choose, sasi swear as lusiily as did the army in Flanders, about Gen. Taylor's popularity, but they Will tind that when the sober and rehecting portion ol the people come to canvass the claims of the respective candidates for the Presidency, they will have few other ques- aoas to ask than those which pertain to a mans military character. They must and w'Il understand, distinctly, the political con- Plexlon, the integrity, and the capacity of sn who aspires to the highest office in the nation, and this understanding they will not receive al the hands of the interested and Jealous friends of the aspirant He must nave made his fitness for the place manifest ey long life devoted 10 the service of his country, and the promotion of those objects winch alone can render nation great. pros. porous, and happy.
