ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR.
STILL JUMPING JIM CROW.

We had supposed that the old hero had wound
up his wheeling abou, and turning abou, and
jumping jim Crow" by making Qike Sam Pa'ch)
his las. jump into The Wig party, as VINO
PARTY CANDIDATE. This "whee about from his
No.PARrY platform was doubtless considered by
The Wing leaders as The most graceful step he had
ever taken, and they believed the old soldier had
wound up his wheeling about and turning abouI
and Jumping just SO" by The "beneft" he took in
lha, crowning step; bal they are doomed TO d'sap'
pcintmeni. The letter below shows that Gen.
Taylor is ye, "junpins Jim Crow" and that MS
last "wheel about and turn about" lands him IN
his old tavorite so-pARrY position. right in The
midst Of the Philadelphia "nalives."
We incline TO the opinion that some OF the
"bobrail Coonsn will come TO the conclusion that
they submitted 10 the curtailing operation rather
100 soon, and ii is likely that there will be de-
mand for coops' tails, 10 restore some Of The "bob-
tails" TO the pristine form they maintained when
they were followers OF tina: same old Coon, The
"immor,al Harry of The West" for, as support
ers OF General Taylor, they now find themselves
in tina. "So-pARrY" position with their leader
which was so dislas,eful 10 many OF them last
Winter
But for The many striking Inconsistencies INTO
which General Taylor has allowed himself 10 De
drawn, either by his vaulting ambition or The in
fuence OF gambling politicians" we should be
inclined to regard his letter to MIR. Lippard as
particularly when we recoecI The con
due, Of Judge Saunders in the Wing party Con-
venlion, as approved by General Taylor through
Messrs. Peylon, Bulliu g. Co., and his accep-
lance of the nomination for The Presidency BY The
Wing party.
However, The brave old General will find onl
By the 7h of November next, if not sooner, that
while strategy in war is the right Of The soldier,
is the very last resort TO gain the confidence and
support OF the proud sovereigns of our glorious
Union. The honest yo,ers Of our country require
l straightforward and upright position in those
who are candidates for political trusts before they
can be induced 10 place power in their hands,
and ,elec, Them as public servants.
A highly satisfactory stand has been taken by
the standard. bearers of the unlerrihed DemCcra-
cy, CAss and BUTLER and we confidently look
for their elevation TO the Presidency and Vice
Presidency BY very decided vote-one which
will convince even Wings and ia quarter over'
that The principles OF majority OF our people are
Democratic, and that the Democracy understand
the position Of all those who are not for their
principles 10 be against them; and Wing leaders
ant No.Parly "spoils.seekers" will speedily dis.
cover the FOLLY for the future Of trying no.party'
ism, with the view Of giving political power to
those who will no, declare themselves in favor OF
those long-cheri.hed D.moctaIic principles which
have made our country so glorious and great
