The nomination of Gen. Taylor.

Inc H0nllnHIlOH OF zen. Taylor.
Most of the wing papers throughout the
Union, have nominated Gen. Zachary
Taylor, for President, and many, Senator
Corwin of Ohio, for Vice President
This conrse we trust for the good of the
Republic, will not meet the appreciation
of the American people, as it obviously
does not their llustrious candidate.
The inpolicy and danger of siezing
upon the renown Of the soldier, in order
to ensure the spoils Of office to particular
party, will, five mistake not, cause many,
however much they may esteem Gen.
Taylor, as man, patriot and soldier,
to denounce this attempt. The consis-
tency of the wings in attempting to rally
all their strength on the hero of the war,
which they have nenounced as s'damua-
BILE, ;" is too glazing to meet with success.
The veteran of the war in which We are
now engaged, is to be hauled into the field
of politics--he is to be taken from scene
where he is so much needed, and where
he has done so much, or at least, his pros
poets thereby injured-all for the purpose
of building up a party. This has been
objected to ny Gen. Taylor, himself, as a
late correspondence has shown. He is
wisely opposed to president making"
until after the war shall have been closed.
He we'll knows the effect it would have
on the brave soldiers under his command,
as they are of both parties-and the dan
ger there would be in ascribing the tri.
umphs of the American arms, as the a.
chievemen:s of party. Do the people
feel as if such state of things is desira.

present war with Mexico demand differ.

The Canal.
Com.

We regret to be under the necessity of
stating that very little is now being done
upon the Line OF the Canal Many of the
jobs have been entirely suspended for
some months, and large portion of the
"Summit Division" has been abandoned
by the present contractors, because of the
peculiar character fthe work for sever
al miles in the vicinity of the Saganaskee
Swamp. This is the most difficult por-
ton Of the work on the whole Line, and
unless some vigorous efforts on the part
of the Trustees be speedily made, we
cannot hope to have the Canal completed
this year We understand, the Engineer
Department intends to recommend that a
force be employed and placed under the
direction of Superintendent upon the
work in question, and thus avoid the dan
ger of re letting in sections, to Contrac-
tors who might fail TO prosecute their work,
as many others have already done.
We do not profesr to be judges of the
best plan to be adopted; but we say I'M
hesitatingly, that something ought to be
done, and that IMMEDIATELY.
Col. Oakley, the State Trustee, has
been at his post for more than month,
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the other
members of the Board, neither of whom
have been here for more than twelve
months. What can have induced the
continued absence ofthe foreign Trustees,
we are unable to divine but one thing
is certain, that more than month of most
beautiful weather, in the very best and
healthiest part of the business season, has
been permitted to elapse, and majority
| of the Trustees are still absent and an
other month may be fritted away before
anything cen be done. The usual sick.
ness ofthe country generally makes its
appearance in July and August, at which
time we may expect another virtual sus-
pension of the work, and consequent
postpone,nento of the time when the Canal
shall be completed.
We are fully convinced, that of all the
causes which have tended to retard oper
atoms upon the Canal, the non.residence
of a majority ofthe Board of Trustees, has
been the principal one: and in this opin.
ion we are sustained by large majority
of the most intelligent citizens and con.
tractors on the line of Canal.-Otta,co
