General TAYLOR.

General Taylor.
There not the slightest doubt that large majority oil
the wing party IN the northern, middle, ana western
States are most decidedly and anequvocally hostile 10
the nomination of Gen Taylor The whole wing press
OF Boston has uttered language N relation TO ,he general
which exhibits their dislike of him IN coors AT once
coarse and garing and OF those Journals have re-
yed HIM in terms OF ribaldry which are indecent and
offensive II we, are permitted to Judge OF Tue sent
mens OF the wing party IN New YORK, fennsyivanIa,
and Ohio by the language of their leading journals, the
general has but slim chance OF success IN those states
Ii very evident TO u.s. that uncompronising III the men
OF that party in their hatred to the democracy yei
they do infinitely prefer out. andou democratic candi-
date to Gen Taylor. This state OF public opinion rs
we'll known TO the whe leaders down here IN the SOUTH
and they laugh in their sleeves at the folly OF those
who believe them TO be sincere in Their oessed anXlel
for the advancement of Gen Taylor Their real o0ecl
sio divide the electoral votes IN order that NE eleeuon
OF President may devove upon the House OF Represent
atives. Does any suppose that Webster ana Shy,
and Gales, the editor OF the National inteilgehcer, are
willing that the people should choose Ge aaso
The frs, measure proposed by Henry LAY Ut the extra
session OF lSil, the Incorporation OF huge nation,
al bank with capital OF fifty millions OF dollars, ana
branches established in every town where the central
managers at Philadelphia should think proper TO place
them The consammnlon OF thus prolecl was spoiled by
John Tyler's veto Clay knows, and Webster knows
and Gales knows that Gen Taylor, should he ever have
il il, HIS power, would veto similar or any other bank
bill. as surely as the sun shines.
IL is difficult say whether the National lnlellgencer
is more friendly to General Taylor or to General Scott
We have seen nothing in that journal which seemed to
indicate that il was favorable to the pretensions OF Gen
T. and unlike the journals which are known to advo-
cate that individual, the lntegencer has bestowed the
mos, glowing panegyrc upon General Scott, whenever II
has had occasion to record any OF his Its
praises OF the latter officer unqualified and bordering
the rapurous while, respecting General Taylor, lis
expressions OF eulogy unrcquent and cold There is
hardly newspaper IN any part OF the hnon wnicn con-
tenns the Mexican war with more Vehemence IMAM inns
same National NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1t rs immoral,
wicked mpoyoked and OF dangerous consequences for
The people OF this country but, entertaining these senl
ments respecting the character OF the war, that Journal
has no, committed the ahsurliy OF recommending the
chief who cuts the conspicuous figure the war, 10
the American people, Tor the highest reward they can
besiow upon cisen.
A large majority OF the wing party throughout the
Unon said Just now, most decidedly hostile 10
the election of General Taylor There is mistake IN
H. He will never receive single electoral vote from the
New England wings, and without their unanimous sup
port who will have the harhood To asser, tina, he can
have the slightest chance OF success The sentiment OF
the mass OF the Ohio wings is the that of their
New England brethren: the New York and pennsyl
wanna wings coincide opinion with those OF the north
and west In truth, we question If there be possibility
of gaming for him electoral vote from the wings in
anS one o the States Why then, has he been nominal
ted BY the wing journals in the south The whig jour
nails in the south nominated him in the VAN and futile
expectation OF distractng the democratic votes IN this
quarters and this, their purpose, becoming and
apparent every day. The vile sra,agem will soon
be exposed the eyes of the whole nation to the
fusion and dismay of lis contrVers and abeitors
Sand firm 10 Your colors, democrats OF Louisiana
Never Weld the seuctons be deceived by the
ming devices OF Coondom. You desert the
coon OLD CAUSE Tor the purpose OF going over TO the
motley ranks OF Hodge Hunbug, Peters, and Van Ben
thuysen When democrat does this, he has only one
thing todoand that is, TO JOIN Santa Anna and his
oUt-thguat Mexicans
Stand by Your flag, dcmocrats--there is honor and
safety under ITS broad folds
