OLD FAC In A DILEMMA.


We have stated that General Taylors
'friends' 10 the Convention, in submitting his
claims to that boiy, had placed him in the hu-
initiating position of direct contradiction Of all
bis letters. So think, TOO, his "friends" out If

find call signed by the members of the indie.
pendent State Taylor Electoral Ticket and State
Committee of Maryland, denying the correct
ness of the statement made to the Convention,
by Judge Saunders of Louisiana. In that slate.
ment appear The following passages:
THAT General Taylor recognizes in his
friends in this Convention those who have the
right to withdraw his name, and will cheerfully
acquiesce in such withdrawal And by the
act Of uniting with this Convention. his friends
withdraw his name from the canvass, unless he
be the nominee Of the Convention"
The "lndependent' friends in Baltimore say:
"The undersigned, relying upon the repeated
declarations OF General Taylor, as to the ground
upon which he stood before the American peo-
pie as a candidate for the Presidency, are salts

The Wing concludes:
"But even if he were an aboliouist, he is no

twice as many as The brawlers in these parts, who

The only similar instance of contempt Tor po-
pular intelligence and virtue we find recorded IN
The life of the corrupt tyrant, Caligula. AnIhon
says tha, Caigula, "disconlented with The Sc
nate, resolved TO destroy lhs greater part OF the
members, and The most distinguished men oil
Rome, He became reconcied TO the Senate
again when he found il worthy of him. His
horse, named Incitatus, was his favorile. This
horse he made one of his priests, and by way oil
insul, 10 the Republic, declared it also consul. II
was kept in an ivory stable and fed from COL
den manser; and, when il was invited TO feast al
the Emperor's table, gilt corn was served up IN
golden basin OF exquisite workmanship" We
trust that The delegate from Ohio does not seek 10
bring back the dark, and cruel, and barbarous
reign of Caligula There is one incident in Ca
licula's life which is not dissmilar TO the present
position of the Wing leaders. He declared his
intention OF g1ins TO Britain-collected his army
on the coast, embarked in a magnificent galley,
but returned when he had hardly left the land,
drew up his forces, ordered The signal OF batllc TO
he sounded, and commanded he soldiers 10 fill
their helmets wi h shells, while he cried out, This
