|. The great Whig party of this Union, (says the
|NBucks CO. lntellgencer,) through its chosen rep
resentatves in National Convention, has spoken.
1t is duty as well pleasure TO proclaim our
appreciation of its decision. From every quarter
the nation delegates came up prepared to urge
The claims of their respective iarorites, upon the
consideration of their brethren, and to counsel to-
gether for the common good OF their common coun-
try. Their intercourse and deliberations were
flee and uniettered-ther exertions earnest and
energetic. The representatives of no one portion
Of the Union possessed advantages over those Of
another portion; but every thing was conducted
in a spirit of fairness. The result of their deber-
lion and action has been the presentation of the
names of Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR and MIL
LARD FILLMORE, as the candidates of the Whig
party for the Offices of President and Vice Pres.
dent of the United States. OF these distinguished
and patriotic citizens il will be our pleasure often
10 speak in the coming canvass and we shall
therefore occupy our present limited space with
only few remarks of obvious propriety.
Who is ZACHARY TAYLOR! will not be asked
by any man, woman, or child, in the country. As
bis name and fame are enihroned in the hearts of
grateful people--so his noble character chalIen-
ges the admiration and respect of every enighten-
ed republican throughout the land. His modesty
Of department, his unbouIded benevolence of
heart, his integrity of purpose and rigid simplic
tyof character endear him to the people of every
condition of life, and touch as with an electric in
fuence the chords of sympathy in every generous
breast. He is emphatically man of the people.
His worst enemy has never charged him with m
gratitude, nor has confidence reposed in him ever
been betrayed. His sagacity in penetrating the
depths of pePlexties-his promptness in deciding
CeeAte points-his inhexble fidelity in the per
iOgmsmce of duty--and his coolness and seEpos

traits of character which peculiarly fit him for the
