GEN. TAYLOR A "JEFFERsoNIaN >,

A Washington Correspondent of the Balli-
tmore Sun writes:
81 have seen letter addressed by an officer
at Monterey, TO friend in this city, in which
The old hero is said to avow openly TO all his
friends, that he is no party politicion, bur that
if he were one, he would, as far as he could
understand the subject be JeGersonian Dem
ocrat; this trust, will settle the controversy"
We have heard so many, and such conAic-
ting opinions expressed by distinguished poll
ticians, as to what constitutes the real simon
pure Jeffersonian Democracy, that we cannot
bring our minds exactly to the conclusion that
this announcement does "settle the question"
As far as it goes, however, it accords with the
universal impression that Gen. Taylor is a
Whig,-There being no doubt that the prin-
ciples of the Wing party approximate more
nearly to those which governed the admin
istration of Mr.. Jefferson than do those of
our opponents. After this annunciation of
the ''faith that is in him." Gen. Tay lor of
course, cannot expect the support of Messrs.

.MARTINSBURG:
THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, rs47.
COZ. MCPHERSON OF PAGE.

Whatever may be said Of the vaciIIation
displayed by his Excellency, the President
upon the Oregon question, or however jusl
may be the charges Of insincerity and double
dealing in regard TO the distribution of the
spoils, which are occasionally preferred against
him by such distinguished members o. the
party as Capt RYsDERs and PaRsos Nc
CALLA,-there is one class of his followers
who are never called upon to mourn over a
dlminution Of his right royal favor.
Although one distinguished Senator may
be forced 10 confess that he has been sdeceiued''
and his constituents betrayed" whilst ano-
ther is thwarted in his cherished amb ton to
be Lieut.. General, and huDed by Secretary
Marcy TO boot, no boon is too great, no exhi-
bition of favor too striking, to express in ade-
quate terms the gratitude of the President to
those who have had the wit to discover, and
the boldness to uphold the military genius
displayed by JAMES K. Polk in the manage
OF the war with Mexico.
We take it for granted, that no one of our
readers has forgotten the famous resolution
introduced by Col. Mcpherson in the House
of Delegates of Virginia las, Winter, by
which the military reputation of the President
was yindicated by the endorsement of that
body, and the attempts of the Wings to
''trahsfer the laurels so dearly won by MI.
Polk, to the brows of Gen. Taylor" success
fully resisted. We feared that this was 'spos.
aireiy the last appearance" of the Col. upon the
stage of public life, he having excited the en-
Wy and jealousy of the magnates of the "Tenth
Legion" and been by them endorsed in the
struggle for seat in the Senate of Virginia ;
but we are glad to hear that the President has
not forgotten this most Jealous of his cham
pions. In short, Col. Mcpherson is to be Min
lister 10 Genoa, and Richard is himself again. !"

"Resotred, That we deem that the eminent
irtues, distinguished abilities, and memorable
ervices of Gen. Tom Thumb give him pecu-

that one copy be printed on white satin, in let
tiers OF gold, and forwarded to Free and Frisky

Taylor is not one, who can be turned into ridi-
cule, with impunity, by any party who attempts
it.
