The wings and GEN. TayIor..

The present position of the wing party IS exceed
ingly amusing to quiet observers. Pledged beyond
the possibility of redemption to restrictive tariffs, and
all the other measures which have been, one after
another, condemned by the people, the politicians
seize with wOndrous avidity upon any circumstance
which may possibly divert the public attention from
their errors. The people are not however, to be So
easily blinded. It is well known to them that not a
single wing prediction, IN respect to the practical
Operation of the tariff of 1885, the indepen-
dent treasury bill, and the warehouse bill has been
verified
While their country is engaged in war, have the
wings rallied to the support of the government, for
geiul Of party and only anxious for the honor and
glory Of our common country Alas, no! As a
party land only as party for there have been many
and brilliant exceptions) they have opposed the war,
thwarted the administration in every possible way,
paralyzing It's efforts, and encouraging the enemy by
their facoas course. Does the government call for
loanl The wing press clar that capitalists IL
not trust the treasury until the protective tariff Of
1912 is restored Indeed to such lengths did they go
that the Mexican papers republlshed their declara
tonS In order to show what were the sentiments of
the great wing party in the United States. Party
zeal alone can mislead the man who should hesitate
TO call such concuct moral treason.
1t is truly amusing to find men who have denounc-
ed the war; making Of the commanding general
not from any patriotic motives, but in order screen
themselves from public odum and besides that to
pOccNociOh SuN~co7AAA
base purposes. Let any one cast an eye over the
names Of those prominent in the Philadelphia meet
ing, and he will recognize men who have been regu-
lar politicians, time out Of mind Pennsylvania
wings nominate southern Shareholder for the presi-
dency Have they forgot SO soon their abolition
alliances and their votes the Wilmot proviso
We have every believe that Gen. Taylor is
ananti-tarif man; but the Philadelphia wings ask
no questions-te only consideration isis he avail
able Can elect him, and secure for ourselves
the officesl
And who is il that is thus seized upon without his
own knowledge consent! Why, general who is
in an enemy's territory waging war OH his country's
behalf In the very midst Of the these politicians
will have the hero desert his proper station TO
serve their selfish purposes.
For ourselves, we say that no inconsderate move
ments the part of designing Partsans shall induce
rs to delract one ota from the well-eaned fame Of
General Taylor To sow discussion between him
aud the administration, and if possible provoke
the democratic press to attack him, the OBJ
jects to effect which the wings are using all their
efforts. Inevitable failure awaits their unwise and
unpatriotic labors. Gen. Taylor's name has been
used without his consents nor will he give that con-
sent while he in the field nor after the war is at
an end will he suffer himself to be the tool of de-
signing politicians.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-05-13

The Pittsburgh Gazette, a legitimate wing paper,
recently contained article deprecatinG the nomi-
nation of Gen. Taylor E'r the Presidency, and the
tlrusting aside Of Clay and Mclean aud Webster and
Corwin and Clayton and Critienden-
The Gazette is a Mclean paper, bat to keep up ap-
pearanccs, it affected vast deal Of devotion to 9lr.
Clay and especially regretted, on his account, that
Gen. Taylor should have been put forward. To all
this the U. S Gazette, Clay paper, which has run
up the name Of Taylor, responds
mo man better knows the history Of party affairs
than the editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette Let him
ask whether, among the names which he mentions,
there not those of who, fifteen months SINCE
satisfied themselves and persuaded others, that Mr.
Clay could net again be candidate. We mean not
TO censure them; mean only to refer TO a fact,
known undoubtedly to the editor of the Pittsburgh
Gazette fact which has the most important bear
ing upon this very question to which he so feelingy
refers. Who was il, we would ask, that persuaded
the active men. men that moved the public mind (and
for what did they do it,) that Henry Clay would ne
yer again be a candidate For there lies the
of what our friend mourns over. HAr came the name
Of John NC Lean and those OF other distinguish aud
abundaRtE abe men, before the people al that tie,
stead Of Hrnry C7ay's! How il, then, when
we sought 10 keep olive the feeling for the best
country holds, that we were rebuked as behind
the times, clInging to fallen dynasty, as neither
learning new, forgetting the old aud all this by
who would now seem to be alarmed at the ingra-
tiiude Of party men towards Henry Clay
We say to our contemporary, that if he finds the
name Of Zachary Taylor in the way of distinguished
statesmen, let him thank some of them for reROriHg
another name that was the shield, the guard,
'The talisrnan, the charm, the potent pledge,
OF safety and success"
against every thing. but fraud and deception in the
opposite ranks There lies The cause, and friend
must look thiLhsr.
This is plain mile-post-as signifi canta the
cieckmdte in chess. You have crowded back Mr..
Clay-yOu, Alessrs. Webster, Mclean and company,
now because you hare done So stand back for Gen.
Taylor. You will gain nothing 10y ireading upon the
corns Of Old Kentucky, except heavy heel upon your
tender toes.
Well among them be it. Those philanthropic poll
ticians whose watch-word has been hostility to south
ern influence and policy. may make up their minds
and prepare their necks for the yoke, in way
other There is no escape If they clamOr against
Clay they get Taylor the effect of that clamor.
They have nothing to do but submit for it is not
celvable that they should assert manly independence
Of southern dictaton. They have no such independ-
ence They talk largely and swagger against south
ern influence and measures and men upon the stump,
but when southern influence and men get their tolls
well woven about them, and fairly take them in hand.
their dough faces are easily kneaded to any desirable
shape.-CiR. Eng.
