These Wings, who now shouting for General

We have right 10 say precisely what every body
knows is true. As TO your assertion that he rs
sound whig it is like the rest Of your assertions,
made at random; you being profoundly ignorant OF
the whole matter.
That General TAYLOR Is a Bank man, a Tfotectiye
Tariff man. and believes he Is fighting against God
in the Mexican war, is what the Journal don't know;
and need not assert IN the face Of IFS readers. He
was frerd Of General Jackson, aud is friend OF
Henry Clay; and being military officer, has taken
no part in political matters.
The Journal wants US to lecture democrats for de-
claring their intention for General Taylor.
That's rich Democrats have rot rolled up their eyes
at military chieains-4they have not denounced the
war in which General Taylor has acted so glorious
part-they have not condemned the act of marching
the army to the Rio Grande. which General Taylor
advised; approved, and exeestea but which, on the
contrary the wings denounced as an act OF tnpar-

efforts to delay all aid to General Taylor; whilst

sustain the army with the most frotly defamation
and openly refused to vote either men or money.
The Louisville Journal shouting all the while in be-

Dor discovered that weswere spending half million
per day. He expended all the stale Jokes which he
could invent, borrow buy, ainst the credit of the
Government. And yet, after all This, these ncom-
parable patriots have the mehdacous erontery tell
their simple readers that the administration has been
irving to sacrifice the army under General Taylor
They expected to find some readers green, and fools
!, enough, To- believe that the administration wanted
some disaster to happen to General Taylor. They
: suppose that of the universal harmonious party
are sufficiently assnne TO believe that The President
. and Cabinet anxious to apply match to the pow
der which would blow themselves to atoms-hat they
even regret their own succcsssihe success Of the
General they have appointed and promoted, and the
war which they have the most ccgent selfish reasons
: for prosecuting to a gloroas termination

. and democratic parties TO General Taylor. We say
the former might sustain him for all that is known
a and act consistently the latter could not without
