Such too is the spirit of the following article from
he Lancaster Intelgencer' of Pennsylvania, OF the
2lst:

for any these plans which have been studously kept

government is bold enough to adopt them, it will fad

For our part, free to say that this is not
the time to dsam and to disband. Far from it. On the
contrary we must stand to our arms We must preserve
the effective organization of party and prepare
ourselves to defend those principles for which the de-
mocracy of the country have commended We fear the
future. We have seen in what manner General TAYLOR
las been elected and by what party-who has taken the
ad-and to what devices they have resorted to carry
their object With principles inscribed upon their ban
sr-avoldng all commitment upon great measures

They have made him their hero of the civil con-
test although he is no poitcian-has declared his

known to the country. They put aside the Embodi
