A NO PARTY PRESIDENT,

The Wings Of the City Of New York. says the
Albany Evening Journal, parly because they hold
the City Government, and partly because they are
the hoaors' for President Polk upon his arrival there
In reply to the welcome extended to President
Polk by the President of the Board Of Aldermen,
that digni,ary said -
'.Sir, visit New York as the President Of the
United States, and rejoice in the welcome which
have received al the hands of your City. ] go I,
visit the Northern section Of our county, with which
district an, less familiar than with other portions
hope, Sir wherever go, to have the pleasure
which now enjoy, the pleasure Of meeting and re-
cciving the greetings Of my fcow-citizens without
distinction of palty for, Sir as President know no
party but the whole country and it's best interests"
There is, SOMETIMES positive luxury in "being
cheated" Mr.. Polk hopes to be received and vel
coined with greetings" parades and feasts wher-
ever he goes, without distinction Of party" So far
as pageants and dinners 60, "as President, / know
no party, bu! the whole country" This is some
| thing gained! Wings, in common with their oppo-
uents, may enjoy the privilege Of greeting" and fol-
| lowing President who, after turning them all out
Of Office, sent message to Congress accusing them
| of rendering aid and comfort 10 the enemy!"
James X. Polk is party President Of the strictest
and narowcst order Of his sect. We are willing to
see those who owe him homage, pay it, as warmly
| or coldly, az they please. But we should like to
see Wings showing sufficient respect for themselve,
and their principles, leave to his own fol lowers al
| the glory Of welcoming President who was nomi
mated to destroy the Tariff; and who, after involv
ing US in war with Mexico, sent no me Santa An,
and Almonte to make that war respectable.
CT Upon careful examination Of Gen. Taylor
portrait says the New Orleans National there will
be found marked upon it all the peculiaritics which
we presume in the physical, to be characteristic o
the mind. The very high and rather narrow fore
head, which, in Gen. Taylor even more than in Iii,
portrait, strongly resembles Walter Scott's suggest
the great facility Of thought and expression. Ih,
reflective faculties large, aud the heavy brow de
notes kind disposition and love for quiet humor
The eye is the prominent point; small aud set deep
III the head You mlrrorod in il all The virtues an
T amenities Of life. You sec there the spirit tia
prompts Gen. Taylor TO hear the humblest soldier
wrongs, and personally attend to their redress tbs
makes him so loved as neighbor and friend, lha
so markedly speaks the honest man. But as 20,
look, you can discover in the depths Of the mind ha
are thus but mpcrccily displayed that you can ina

lie field, and gave to that calm and patriotic face
sfcrnness of purpose unyieling as the Foundation
of the earth.
