80 far as this manifesto assumes 10 speak Tor
Gen. Taylor only. we have nothing TO say dis
right to Judge for himself and to act as bis own
seengs shall dictate is not here called In question
Bot we think those Wings who favor tne
TAYLOR movement owe an explanation 70 inc"
sometime brethren who do not concur win tne"i
ON that point and that this explanation cannot Us
given TOO promptly nor too frankly IL wi" "o'
.srve 10 s.v that the Journal Of Commerce man Is
N informed 10 the premises the essential ques
,;on concerns not the extent Of his knowledge but
.onstbipg OF far greater moment-good faith cor
aisli,y and harmony among ourselves. II the WI
ter of the above is not clearly informed with regard
10 the character and tendencies Of the Taylor move
roent. there are good many others in bis Predic-
ament who think they ought not 10 remain 'ne'e'
We will thank, therefore, the Editors oil Nor'ne'"
Wbis journals who favor the nomination oil zen
TAYLOR for President for explicit answers 10 lne
following questions;
/ Isityour understanding and purpose that tnere
shall be a Wing National Convention some time
within the year ensuing, Tor the non'na''o" u
Wing candidates for President aud Wee PRESIDENT
Will Won favor or discourage the calling Of sucn
Convention by the Whig Members OF the Congress
soon to assemble
2 Suppose Gen Taylor should be inouceu Ut
oonstraiped TO declare himself opposed to the prin'
ciple Of the Wilmot Proviso. would you continue
% support himl Ditto OF Protection to Home In
dp.trv and liberal system of National Improve
ment of Rivers and Harbors ~
3 10 case no Wing National Convention shall
be held. by what means is il TO be settled ana ue
elarsd that Gen. Taylor is the choice oil the hig
p.rty1 What il a respectable portion OF our
friends should insist that he is not and that sup
no.;ng new candidate is to he taken mp, he ought
10 be. must be, Northern Statesman,-wh are
we TO dol
a. What will be the probable effect OF running
Gen Taylor pell nell. with all the bands oil party
organic alton relaxed, or rather cast to the WHO'S
on the growth and expansion of the Liberty P0r'
~ 40 called And where will tbs Wing party
he. not alone in '4s but ate rward, il that party
shall thus be enabled to poll 10000 votes in this
State. 20 600 each in Ohio and Massachusetts
10000 in Vermont &C. &c
These questions are asked in no invidious spi-
rit. but in that impeed by earnest desire to
promote the National yell being through the insru
mentality of Wing harmony and Wing ascendan-
cy Shall they in like spirit be answered
nv We had intended 10 take notice OF The
,ly story from Havana correspondent OF the New
Orleans spanish pspar La Patrto representing tost inc
- 600 900 appropriated by the last Congress Tor the use
on the President la the adjustment OF our dificuues
with Mexico has been employed In e0rrktiHg the eao
ing OF that country. But az the Islander mas oeen
essery copied by msny OF our public jouInss ana oy
tome Of them treated as ue. We ieei obigeo 10 pro
pounce IL humbug of the first wser. II "a not even
plausible The Havana correspondent does not pretend
10 know anything about IL lie says that dispstches OF
some sort had been received from Vera Cruz by the
American Consul al Havana aud that 1t was commonly
reported. SC Jour. OF Commerce.
We gave no more Importance 70 the story than
the Journal. though we made an abstract of it, as
an item Of news.
Still, we are not at all surprised that suspiclof
Of snah diversion ofthe money should be entertain
ed and gain even much belief For ice kno'o tina
At the last Session Of Congress the grant OF thu
sum to the President was urged by many OF hi
most influential friends on the express ground, tina
by lie proper application TO the sensibilites OF Ger
tain Mexicsns, high in authority and influence
peace could be precipitated.'
Nor do we believe it at all improbable th't tn
Administration now, doubtful of its ability to col
qusr is anxious to purchase, peace.
The "bald DISCOUNTED nature OF the stor!
however. in La PARA entities 1t to no consde
alton.
