THE JACoBINs AND THE FRIENDS OF
THE Union,

Il
THE UNION.
General Taylor is brave and rough old sos
der. as misplaced in the Cabine, as ne would DC
in the Club. He is now an idol there as mere
after, feec,ed, 10 be the plaything OF Inc 'aco,
bins; and if he ever thwarts Them 'ney WIN
ostracse him without remorse, whilst ne VIII oe
unable 10 comprehend either his popularity OF
| his crime.
The Jscobins, who are now moving heaven
and earth to succeed BY the prestige oil TINS mere
military man, have deeper and darker designs 10
accomplish; and hence, whilst destroying inc
,rue conservative powers of the Government,
tbav endeavor 10 cover themselves with proper
devotion to order, and hypocritical reverence for
the Constitution
For time, General Taylor will be regarded
as liking Stork" at the Clubs. and all praise
will be lavished on his virtues, and excuse ior MS
faults and foibles; but, as the passions OF The
Jacobins will admit Of no obstacle TO their
wishes, if the sturdy obstinacy of the old SOL
der should ever be opposed to any of their de-
signs, now concealed under the cry OF mo party
party.r we shall have enacted the scenes OF yio'
ence and denuucialion which followed the VII
tuous patriotism of John Tyler, when he would
not bow TO party dictation, applied by "no'
party party The old Clay guard, who are not
aiding Tay Ior's election, or very feebly lending
their adhesion, will be the ready leaders of The
accusing band and their position will entitle
them to be heard aud regarded Then will
come over the administration of the country
the delightful consequences of independent no
partyism surrendering to the Wing party, and
the beautiful consistency Of Wing nomination
being surrendered back again to independent no
part, ism, 10 become available. They, "the old
Clay guard al least, are free from the charge
of singing Peans to military glory.
The people, the dear people, are taught in The
clubs to place confidence in name, without IN
CURRY into or regard 10 principles; and the null
ti,ude are hurraed on 10 follow it, careless OF
the consequences Of party without principles,
and they 70 on without knowing whittier the
current of the crowd will lead.
This is faction, in which country is lost sight
of, spols and power enure TO the leaders, and the
virtuous people are the dupes of the dema
goeues Of the time. The Union may be lost in the
melee; but what care the Jacobns1 they fat
ten on the public treasury, and riot IN high
places and the ark of the Constitution IS SILVER
ed into atoms whilst the helmsman sleeps and
the crew are seduced from duty.
