Gen. Taylor and the next Presidency.
One Of the most singular movements We
have witnessed this many a day, is the re.
cent stir among the Northern Wings to make
= Gen. Taylor President. So long as the
movement was confined to the South, we
were not surprised. With the frantic zeal
there manifest among all parties, to extend
ana perPetuaie slavery, we could wonder at
no movement which should secure that oh
Ject. Nor should we wonder TO see the
whole slaveholding South, Wings as well as
democrats, go en- mdSse for anv man who
would pervert all the patronage and influence
OF the general government. TO build IN and
perpetuate the worst despotism that curses
the earth. But that Northern Whips, who
nave prIded themselves so much on their on
position to slavery, should yield TO, and be
carried away by, such a scheme, is truly a
wonder. We would as soon have expected
10 see shareholders come forward and propose
Corwln, or GIddings, or John p. Hale for
PRESIDENT. And yet, with one or two excep-
tons. the whole wing press, as well in
the Middle States rs in New Epoland. is e.
ther struck with palsy at the faitering pros
pect OF a party triumph at the expense of de-
featlng freedom in this country forever; or
they are madly tossing mp their caps for a
man oil whom they know nothing but that he
Is the owner of hundreds of immortal souls.
and can fight like a tiger.
And have the Wing party come TO this T.
Are the Wings Of New England ready to
bow themselves lower at the shrine of Slave
ry than the Democrats nave ever done! Are
they ready TO say that all their protested ha-
tired Of slavery was hollow and false? We
entreat them to pause before they give them
selves up to a movement as disgraceful 10
themselves, as it would be. if successful, fa-
tai 10 the best interests Of the country. Hun
dreds and thousands of anti-slavery, true men
are there among the Wings, who we know
will never be parties to such a game. A.

thing TO say. That he is a brave and hu-

But that he is fitted for the Presidency, we
have not seen nor heard the first Witness
In the very nature of things, having spent
his whole life in the camp, he cannot be-
lie can know little or nothing of the great
questions upon which hang the welfare and
prosperity Of our extended country. He
must, as matter of necessity, even with the
b-st intentions, fall into the hands of a kitch-

Of the people will be but nine-pins, 10 be set
up or knocked down as impulse or corrupt

other objections is the fact that he is nut for.

ing In the midst of the most besotted and IA
natical d~evotees of the accused system, there
can be no doubt, whatever there may be on
other points, that all the energies Of an adj

be put In requlsition TO strengthen slavery
Are Northern Wings ready to put such a
man in power? Have they considered how
they may stand at the North, when they

Suppose they gain a nominal Whir triumph
in the election Of Gen. Taylor! Is such a
triumph, obtained at the sacrifice of all their
principles, worth what it will COST We

folly.
For ourselves, as for all who mean TO be
true to liberty and their country, there is but
one course and that, of undertaking devo-
ton to duty and principle. BY no hopes of
party triumph, by no Establishments of pow
er, will any true man be coaxed or bought
into treason TO the cause of human rights
II slavery must triumph, we had rather see
1t triumph under james X. Polk than under
General Taylor; since the weakness of Polk
Is a partial protection against his wickedness.
On The other hand, so freedom triumph, we
care little under what leader the victory is
achieved. SO a man he q man and true TO
