BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE. Decentralization had
been extended TO General Taylor to be
present at the dinner given by the Ar.
tillery Battalion on the 4th, but as mat.
ter lot course, as the departure of the
General had been fixed for nine o'clock
in the morning, he was unable to accept
the invitation. The officers and members
of the Battalion resolved not to be out
done by their fellow citizens, in showing
respect TO the war worn veteran, had a
paste board turkey constructed, which
had all the appearance of being finely
roasted natural one, and sent it to Gen,
Taylor at ST. Charles. When this arti-
fetal fowl was opened, it was found to
contain not dough and savory viands,
as is usually the case, but a splendid
pair of gold epaalettes, together with a
magnificent sash. This beautiful tribute
of respect confers, honor, alike on the
givers and the recipient.--N O. Courier.

moved off from the national platform of the democratic
creed truly laid down at Syracuse build up anoth
er platform of democratic ruin and DISCRIMINATION at
Herkimer When the whole safety of the democracy of
the Union, admitted to lie in compromise and in concilia
ton upon this subject-when the Syracuse convention
orbearng carefully to take any ultra ground, simply re-
trained from the expression of opinion, which, if ex
pressed and carried out divorce the New York de-
mocracy from all sympathy with the democracy of half
our national that moment, the Post and It's allies
came GENEROUSLY forward to break up this silence,
in which, without assuming anything surrendering
anything, the Syracuse convention willing to wait
for the happier hour of full Cancellation and compromise
and with the professions of this fell and fatal purpose
loud upon their lips, the Post and its allies event their
ways" to Herkimer, and there concocted plan to out
rage the southern democracy, TO break down the New
York democracy and to leave their State easy prey to
the wings! They did this, when, on this very ques-
ton of the Proviso, there not only not an issue
but entire accord and unanimity between them and
the wings They did this in the election of a mere
State ticket, where the Provso principle even if il were
just and practical and necessary would have no natural
place And last of ALL they thus deliberately turned the
State over to the wings, and disavowed all fraternity with
southern democrats and far in them law DESTROY
ed all hope of democratic union and ascendency in the
country upon doctrine which yet wholly premature
uncalled for BY any practical application and which, be-
beng gross outrage by of the country upon
the other must, if insisted upon at this moment peril
and embarrass the efficient prosecution and the honora-
BILE close OF the Wharf.-The present great issue between
the two parties OF the counry-to which the character
of the country and the faith of the democracy are alike
and solemnly pledged.
The grevous result of this OF action on the part
OF the Post and its allies, comes upon us with in
creased power in every additional return from the polls
In New York, disclosing the mightiest majority which
the wings have ever obtained in any State of the Union
In view OF this result the Post may well seek to lay
portion OF its own blame and responsibility upon other
shoulders. But for ourselves decline all such parc
patton AS the Post has sown, itreap 1t has con.
trbuted tQ the wind and if it continues its presen,
fanatica and unsatesmanke course must hereafter
reap the whirlwnd.

General Taylor.

1t is understood that General Taylor-who has been
absent from his family and private business for more than
two years and half and during the whole of that time
has been engaged in the most important and arduous du-
ties-has asked for leave of absence to return to the
United States for six months.
His letter to that effect received by the Adiuant
General yesterday evening in the course of which, Gen.
Taylor states that he thinks, in consequence of the
present character of the war; his services may not be
wanted at this time. He purposes TO to Mata-
early this month"; where he awaits the answer OF
the government, and expresses desire TO be in New
Orleans by the Ist of December.
We understand the leave of absence has been granted
TO him; and have doubt that, if events should
arise to call for his services that frontier he will fly
to place himself at the head of his gallant army.

The wings need not satirize divisions. They have
enough of their own to embarass and annoy them
What amusing spectacle, for example, do they exhibit
in the Legislature of Tennessee! They were to elect
United States senator in place of Mr. Jarnagin They
commenced the work on Thursday, the 2sth October.
We cannot undertake to guess ohen they will complete
it, On that day they had not less than five ballots and
their three wing candidates Messrs Reese Netherland
and Topp) not within leagues of the coming in pole
Mr. Topp the highest of ALL and in the successive
baotings his vote stood II, II, 49, IS, 19not higher
than 49, while the scattering vote stood the unprece-
dentedly large number of SO, co. SIS, "a, and 49, We
venture say that the scaerngs never so far exceeded
before the vote for the regular candidates Hitherto it
has consisted OF few scattering votes but in Tennessee
they swallowed up all the rest-so little united are the
universal wing party upon any candidate by the last
accounts. 1t is certainly the unique and buresque
election that ever made by united and harmonious
