HE PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN-The Courier &.
Enquirer of this city, we'll known to have been
friendly to Gen. Scott, for the presidency, has
abandoned that distinguished military man, for
some reason or other, and now comes out strong
ly In favor of Gen. Taylor, and recommends
him to the wings as their candidate. at the ma
tlonal convention or, at all events, states that
public meeting would be called at the Table rnacle,
or the Park, on the 22d of February next, to no.
inmate him to the presidency; that day being
the anniversary of the birthday of Washington,
and OF the battle of Buena Vista. Our contempo-
rary also states, that preparations are making to
collect subscriptions for the purpose of calling
this great public meeting in New York, and that
subscription paper will be forthcoming very
soon. Good. We have also directed our print.
ing establishment to issue subscription paper
for that purpose, and it will be ready this morn
ing, at the office of the Herald, to receive the
names of all who are favorable to the pretensons
of Gen. Taylor to the presidency, and for having
great meeting of the friends and admirers of
We, therefore, call on every one who has dis
position to favor such movement, to call at our
office, and put down their names.
Thus much for Gen. Taylor and the wings
Now for the other side.
The democrats, according to all appearances,
will have to abandon all their old men. and old
politicians, and take up a new man. The
Van Burens of this State, father and son.
according to all appearances, too, are mixed up
in new abolition movement, in order to dis.
tract the national convention of the democratic
party, unless they should fall in with them. and
support the candidate that they may propose. 1t
is understood that this candidate is General
Worth, or some similar military man, made great
by the present war General Worth, notwth-
standing his difficulty with General Scott, is,
we believe, democrat, ambitious, active, and
intelligent, and altogether, would make good
run. If he be the democratic candidate, there
will be good match between Taylor and Worth
wing and democrat. 1t is probable, also, that
one of the issues in such contest would be the
entire annexation, at once and forever of the
whole Of Mexico, that being the ground Of the de-
mocrats, In opposition with wings, who are in ia
of defensive liue In order, therefore to suit
ton paper, for holding public meeting in this
city of the friends of General Worth, on the same
day, the 22d Of February,a Tammany Hall, for the
purpose of nominating Gen. Worth for the Presi-
dency as the democratic candidate. He was, we
believe, in the battles Of Monterey and Buena Wis
ta and performed wonders in them, although h.
was not commander-in-chief.H He was also in all
the battles of the brilliant campaign from Vera
Cruz to the City OF Mexico, and according to Col
Duncan's statements, he actually saved the Ame-
rican army at the battle of Churubusco, by his
decision and frmness, causing General Scott to
find fault with him. In addition to that, we be-
lieve he is in favor of the annexation of the
whole of Mexico, at once and for ever.
These are the movements now before the peo-
pie. Both subscription papers will be hung up in
the Herald office, and every one who chooses to
put his name down, can do so, and select his own
side of the question. General Taylor, as the
candidate of the wings, and in favor of defen.
sive lne probably far as the battle field Of Bu-
ena Vista; and Worth as the democratic candidate,
in favor of going the whole figure for the DEM
ocrats will have to assume the same ground, and
60 for the whole of that country with all its con-
tingencies, and all its advantages and disadvan-
tages, This is the best way to commence the
great game Of the Presidency, and we invite ev-
cry voter in New York TO take sides at once, and
come to our office and put his name down to one
of those subscription papers. The two meetings
will be held on the same night-the one by the
wings at the Tabernacle, and the other at Tam
many Hall. 1t will be grand affair-all will be
peaceable and quiet, and all who wish to COM
mence the great game for the Presidency, must
attend one or the other.
