Meantime, we commend the following scraps of
historical knowledge to the understandings of our
Whig neigbbers. by way Of comforter. The

heard him state his creed but ace knoo MGth acas
an rigiHGL Jackson man. When Gen Jackson
was candidate the second time against MIR. Ad-
ans, Gen. Taylor and General Twiggs were sta
toned here They took so active part for Old
Hickory, that the Secretary of war was written
to, and Taylor and Twiggs were banished to the

their attachment" -..r
But to give a more minute history of his politi-
cal course in by-gone days, and up to a not very
remote period In 1923 he resided in Kentucky,
and went for Gen. Jackson. When, by Clay's
ner6dhy, in 1925, Gen. jackson was defeated, that
Clay might be made by Adams Secretary of State,
the whole Of Kentucky went with Taylor. From
1926 to 1928, Taylor was the most determined
advocate of Jackson's election. He was grati6ed

Jackson for reelection; voted fol him; sustained
him on the tariff question, and was then oppo-

sides, and sustained Mr., Van Buren. and voted for
him, and was at least a democrat in name and
principle until 1889.
