nonter, and ss an honest. though humble
advocate and supporter Of the measures Of
the whig policy. which we believe 10 be for
the true interests Of the country--we place
this ticket at the bead Of our columns 10
day. II is well known--and IL 10 useless
for us 10 decay the fact, that Gen Taylor
was not the favorite candidate Of the wings
Of Vermoot--and we may say Of those Of
several Of the Northern Safes The wings
Of Vermont. Massachusetts,. Connecticut.
Nov Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, New York
and Pennsy lvania would certainly have pre-
ferrsd different selection of Presidential
candidate by the convention; from the list
before them, aud consequently i; remains to
be seen bow the nomination Of Gen. Taylor
will be received In these States. No judg
mest. rs yet. can be formed, Of course, in
regard to this, al least, so far as the most
distant safes are concerned. That the
Wings Of these States. however, viii duly
consider. and act Us wings usually do act -
for the general good Of the whole, we have
not serious doubt
We give below few brief abstracts Of
different journals as indicating the general
tone Of public sentiment in different quar-
tiers relating to this selection. The Boston
Atlas in giving in it, adhesion to the Nom.
ination says:
Although neither Of the gentlemen nom.
mated was our personal choice, vet they are
the candidates Of the whig party-a party
10 which We have been devoted attached.
and which whatever faults it may possess,
and no party lie without some--wc shall cv.
er cling TO, labor for it, and labor in it---a
parry. the principles Of which aud the men Of
which, when compared with those who are a.
gainst us, knit us TO its fortunes, q willing
though an humble advocate. We say then
as ZACHARY TAYLOR and WILLARD
FILLMORE are now its chosen standard
bearers. We shall abide by them aud sup.
port them; and whether they lead us TO
victory or defeat, no ono hereafter shall have
i, to say that the day was lost by trsach-
cry or desertion on our part
We have an abiding faith that Veto
ry is TO the Wings in this struggle and that
wi ID the election Of our Presidential ticket
we shall also bring into powera wing House
Of Representatives, aud eventually Wing
Senate. in whose hands the legislation Of the
country will devolve,
And again the Atlas IN speaking more
particularly of the nominees, says:
"Mr Fillmore is n sound, practical man,
OF unsull'ed integrity, who has thorough
knowledge Of the best interests OF the coun- |
