THURSDAY AFTERNOON, deer Q, Is47.
For President
GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR.


We are sure that there is not Wing in
the country, who will not regret, deeply re-
greet, the action Of the Wing members Of the
House of Representatives who voted against
Mr.. Mccormick for Postmaster, and thereby
reelected one Of the most INSCRIPTIONS par
tisans of the Democracy to this important
post Far be it from us to deny the legal
right of those gentlemen to vote as they did,
but we are at loss to know how they can
Justify the act in their party relations, The
Postmastership is the only political Office OF
the House, and ithas been placed in the pos
session Of one of our most determined and
violent opponents. If they are right in re-
tanning Mr.. johnson, they have been wrong
in refusing to re-elect Mr.. French and Mr..
Lane; for the argument which required the
election of Wing Clerk and Wing Ser
geant-at-Arms, is equally forcible in respect
to the Postmaster. He is as much an organ
of the majority as the other officers, and is
in position to exert great political influence
by the manner alone in which he may dis
charge his duties We will venture to as
sert that Democratic majority would ne
yer have been found, under any circum-
stances, electing Wing Postmaster.
Our objections are not to retaining Mr..
johnson. They are to entrusting the Office
at all to Democrat. 1t is suicidal in party
point of view If the Wings who voted fol
Mr.. Johnson did so to mark their condem-
nation Of party prescription, why did they
not vote for no-party man? 1t seems ia
us that they have no manner of excuse fol
their course but that of sic polo, sic jubeo
The Wing electors, who elected these gen.
tlemen, were required to sink all personal
preferences and to vote for the nominee. Is
it too much to require of Wings to be bound
by the rule which gives them seat in Con-
gress'
We learn that it is contemplated to recon-
slider this unfortunate vote to-day. We hope
it will be done 1t is no more than Justice
to the Wing party of the Union that it should
be done. 1t is never too late to correct an
error.
In regard to Mr. Mccormick, we think
that he is, of all men. in the United States,
the best entitled to the office. He is pro-
scribed Wing, succeeded by the very man
who is now reelected by Wing votes He
is an efficient party man, and has done as
much for the advancement of the men and
measures of the party as any other Wing in
the Union Every consideration demands
his reinstatement in the Office from which he
was removed by party prescription.
