Some man who has never mingled in the
strife and turmoil of partisan warfare-some
man whose honesty, and talents, and patri-
otism, cannot be gainsaid-some man. at
the mention whose name the whole nation
will rally-must be selected TO fill the chief
place IN the Council of the nation.
Where can we find such an one! Need
we point you to Gen. Zachary Taylorl
Erfracf from the Proceedings of a 2ay-
Tor Ratife alton Meeting in Selma, .4ia..

After disposing of General Cass, they
pass the following resolution in respect TO
Gen. Taylor.
ResoiUed. That we regard him as bet
ter qualified than his competitor for the Of
fice, as not entertaining those dangerous sem
timents which the other avows--as one
among us, possessing the same feelings and
having the same interests in regard to sIa-
very as ourselves. If we cannot confide in
such a man, whom shall we trus,i Surely
not tho favorite Senator of the most decided
Abolition State in the Union--a man who
is not of us, and who has no interests or
feelings on this subject With u.s.
What is the view taken of the action of
the so called Wing Convention at Phiadel.
phia The Macon (Ala.,) Republican
comments on the Baltimore and Philadel-
phia Conventions as follows:
1.-The time for holding the Baltimore
Convention at last rolled round. Some of
them had to yield the point-that was evil
dent. We expected it would be the North,
as she generally yields to the South; but
this time she stood firm, twice refused to
pass an anti Wilmot Provlso resolution,
passed one of which the rankest Abolition
lists could approve, and saddled onthe South
Cas-, candidate so exceptionable, and one
who is id favor of one Of the forms Of eX-
Guiding slavery from the Territories SO point
edly spoken against in the celebrated Ala
bama platform.
"What has been the course of the Wing
party? 1t is easy told. They nett Con-
veniion at Philadelphia, gave us for our cam
didate Southern candidate, in whose hands
we know the interests of the South will be
safe. They also laid on the table. by large
majority, a Wilmot Proviso resolution
thus showing by acts, and not by empty
NduItS' nv" SiCatS SpI'cti'ah''Nf anu
patriotic Wing party OF the country stands
on that question"
The following resolution was passed by
the Wings of the I'd congress ional district
Of Alabama:
"Resolued, That we hold in utter deh>
ance the principles of the Wilmo, and King
Proviso, and will oppose the execution of
their project by the constitutional means Of
the ballo, box, and if forced, by any means
which may be necessary to preserve our
rights from infringement"
The Wings of this district now cordial
~ support Taylor.
The Wing State Convention of Georgia,
assembled to select delegates to the Nation
al Con ,ention a. Philadel phia-
Resolved. That the nomination of Gen
eral Zachary Taylor before made by indie
penden, Southern nominations meets the
hearty concurrence of majority of this
Convention, but in the spirit of a just and
liberal concession, we stand declared to sup
port Henry Clay, or any other Wing, pro-
Uided the Uie,CS of the nominee concur
With our o,0n on the subject Of the HI
mot Propiso and Southern rights"
Prior to the Philadelphia Convention,
the Southern Wing Press and Conventions
declared that no Wlmot Provso man could
he their candidate for the Presidency
Proofs:
In the Massachusetts, Wing Convention
Of last year, Mr.. Palfrey offered the follow
ing resolution. which was laid upon the
table by tina. body:
Resolved, That the Wings of Massachu
chusetts will support no men for the Offices
of President and Vice President of the Uni
ted States, but such as are known by their
acts and declared opinions, to be opposed to
the extension of slavery.
Commenting on this resolution, the edit
or of the Richmond Wing says: When
ever either party at the North shall deter
mine to act in accordance with the doctrine
set forth in this insulting resolution,iits ma
tional organization will from that moment
cease. We need scarcely say, that Wing
principles have no more decided and un-
compromising advocate than we are but
whenever our political associates at the
North shall force upon us the alternative of
choosing between the Wing principles on
one hand, and Southern rights on the other
we cannot for moment hesitate-and we
do not err in saying, that we speak the
unanimous voice Of the Southern Wings
in the course we shall pursue. There IS
no locofoco IN the Io,ad. he,CeUer STEPPED
IN deuotion to the doctrines of that party,to
whom we would hesitate to give our cordi-
al support, in preference to any Wing who
should come before us as the nominee for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency with
such label upon his brow. as that embod-
led in Mr.. Palircy's resolution.
How explicit! how admirably defined is
the Generals position Mr.. Weed says it
is not ,0hat he hoped ii ,0ould be, bu, al all
events he accepts. Yes, he accepts the
nomination, as he did that of the Native
Americans, of the independents of Mary
land and North Carolina. He accepts the
nomination &c Convention: il :..!A.ch ;aao
