From the ALBANY Atlas.

Gen. Taylor and the whig Press
THE atlas would be puzzled to indi.
cate the Wing papers that assoiled the
course Of Gen. TAYLOR or reviLed his
troops. 1t is true, however, that with few
exceptions, the press Of our opponents
has dealt fairly BY the old Veteran, &c.
Alb. Eve. Journal. -.
Instead Of" puzzling," the task might
possibly disgust us. It is, unfortunately
for the honor Of the wing party, too easy
to perform. The Journal does no more
than justice to the democratic presses in
attesting the fairness Of their demeanor
towards Gen. T., and it is an honor to
them; and the assaults from the wing side,
on the veteran and his troops, will be apt
to surprise it, if it is really unconscious Of
them, a. much by their grossness a. their
frequency.
We have not the slightest idea of re-
producing the diseraceful Trades against
"the armed rufiians and murdeTers,"
fiends in human shape" "spirits Of the
deepest hell" equity Of moral treason
agains. the God Of Heaven" with which
section Of the wing press has teemed,
nor the more disgusting declarations,
(though the one we quote came from the
wing Secretary of State of N. H. that
Gen. Taylor "raises babies for the market
and purchases Creole virgins for the hells
of New Orleans" These things belong
to the Evening Journal, and but for tho
turn in political affairs would doubtless,
by this time, have found their way to ito
columns. We quote, however, a few ex-
tracts Of a less disreputable character:
The Lowell Courier, Webster paper,
says:
IAN Ohio Senator, who bravsly stood up
in the Senate, and pointed out the oily
path Of duty to the grave men there as
semblcd, is truer hero tLan Gen. Taylor,
and more worthy ofthe support ofthis peo-
pie. Our influence we intend shall be
given now and at all times, for the bring.

Grafton Of the authors and appouers Of IT,"
The United States Gazette, after the
capitulation Of Monterey, thus led off in
censure Of the conduct Of Taylor, on the
pre,ence that it was controlled by the Ad-
ministration.
1T is singular, that of1e, so triumphant
a course, General Taylor should bring 50
IMPOTENT AND UNSATISFAC-
TORY A CONCLUSION TO HIS OPE-
RATIONS, and we should b. inclined to

Cabinet at Washington; which, being
alarmed by the frightful expenses of the
war it heedlessly and wickedly entered
upon, is now seeking to purchase peace

The Beaver, Pa. Argus, all humble echo
Of the Gazette, on the 9Th Of May,
lhen spoke:
He, [Gen. Taylor, is also the man
who recommended the CUBA BLOOD

Democratic party into such bad repute.-
