an Honorable Political OPponent---Col'
Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, distinguished
Democrat, who was wounded in the battle ol
Buena Vista recently made speech at 'icKs-
burg, in faror Of The election Of Gen. Cass'-
for the Colonel, as is well known, is a strong
Democrat. In the course of his harangue nc
alluded to the Wing candidate, and remarked,
,ha, if any person expected him to speak III OF
Gen. Taylor they would he disappointed. lie
knew no evil of the old hero, and spoke OF him
as one of the purest and noblest men the world
had ever seen. The Colonel seemed greatly
moved in speaking of Gen. Taylor, and his eu-
logy on the old man was received with lhun-
ders of involuntary applause. lie referred to
the kindness and almost paternal regard shown
BY Gen. Taylor to the Mississippians under
his command, and was again interrupted by
storm Of cheers.
"He said, that the old General stood god
father to the sons Of Mississippi when, amld
the war and smoke Of the fight, ,th9y were baP-
tized in blood on the heights Of Buena VISTA
and was again compelled to pause by hurr-
cane of applause. lie said that during the
progress of the battle, after he (Col. Davis)
was wounded, Gen. Taylor came and sdt down
beside him--the firm determination on. ms
brow seemed struggling with an expression. OF
deep sorrow for the brave fellows who haJ lal-
len, and those who were ye: TO bite the dust
when ,on being interrogated as to his purposes,
he replied while the fire of an unconquered
will cleaned in his eye" my 'conndcd are DE-
hind me, and shall nerer pass them dhre
About this time the crowd became so excited
that they were almost ready to carry the Colo
mel from the stand"
This touching and most heroic reply, says
the Baltimore American has never before come
70 our knowledge. 1t is one OF those charac-
tcristic sayings which SO strongly mark uen'
Taylor's firm, yet generous nature NO won
der his soldiers had confidence in him. NO
wonder that victory went with him, and perch
ed upon his standard, wherever it iloated over
a contested field.
