Why is it that this Administration has NOT given or,lo-s
for ags 10 DO hoistsd and sautes fred at oil oyern
stations In the country IN honor OF the mastery and bril-
liant victories which Gen Taylor with his command has
won Neither for the victory at Palo Alto Resec, do !,
Palma, Monterey Buena Vista has any such order
gwen Are Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Marcy stalk or stones
That they have feeling the subJcct-Ihat thew have
no feelings Of JOY OF hearty ioy and no desire TO oin tho
whole people OF these United States in rejoicing at these
brilliant victories
II they have, and have no feeling in common with
the great body OF the people this subject they should
they hold the proper places give those orders at least
on the outward sembance of good feeling and try to feel
patriotic
Is shameful and barbarous that no order Of tho kind
has been given for either Of the great victories alluded
Was so during the las, when any great victory was
achevet But then the country had PATRIOTS i'm the Pres
icental Chair and the head the War DEPARTMENT
would neglect do Justice 10 4 General or Cor,,no
doTo wno had won brilliant victory simply because g, ID
in politics.
For one maintain tina, the studied neglect of Gen T,y
LyR and hrs tour successive brilliant victories on the
o Mr fuLE and Mr. MARCY, springs from a loy gr,ye-
ing political feeling Of pique and envy STrpyp yEar rr
did sayi should have said, determined and
opposition with malicious and cod-hearted intent of de-
aTOyng nun and that, too, after he had BY his wonJer
tu victories twice saved the Administration from disgrace
There have been tricks and murUuyes OF the blacklist
cast carried on to break down that great and good Gene
raj and the country will yet be made acquainted with
some Of them. After the victories OF the Sh and OH of
May, aud the subsequent coupling Of Gcnefal,Taylots
name with the Presidency, the works Of destruction WINS
since.
The eondue, Of Fcklin, Thompson and others in Con.
gess against him, Is well understood and duly
ted. by whom and what powers they were set on Is
wei! known ' "
Blu, this notal After some of tho most strenuous
aud desperate efforts 10 get Gen Taylor superseded had
JAILED from u1other, 10 was finally resolved
that General Scott should GO to Mexico and vyibd,ay
from General TayloT's command in the interior Of tho
country, and where an attack from Santa Annas great a-
my might well be anticipated some four thousand Of HE
best troops, leaving him with only few companies Of reg

This cold, inhumau and barbarous act was done Avn

Bucna Vista, General Taylor had no other knowleJoe bo,
such portion OF his command would be taken from him
than the UNOFFICIAL letter Of Genou scJrr dated at New
