be judicous moderate, and patriotic man. He has
pressed himself decidedly in favor Of peace policy

growth prosperity and strength He is opposed to the sub

Moreover, General TAYLOR is a WHIs; and though he

With these it hoped that all individual prefer
will be merged that love Of country and love Of those
free institutions under which, if directed by just and wise
COUNSEL might enjoy such nesmable privileges and bless

and for the good, will unite upon the insu-
mentality presented by the Wing National Conventions and
exert themselves to break the neck of Locoocosm

So. Assuming, have right to assume, that the
delegations present fair representation Of the Wing
opinion and sentiment of the country, justified in be-
eging that General nearly the unanimous choice
of the Wing party is well possible for any to be-
topic OF interest," for present considerations the
probability of any serious Wing detection in the final ballot
We think there very little The remarks we heard, in pub
lie and in private, after the adjournment Of the convention
from prominent and Wings representing all parts Of
the Union have left doubt upon mind that in Novem-
Der the full strength Of the Wing party will be given for the
nominee-wh large chance for good deal more There
present evaporation here and there, resulting from dsap
ponmen Of personal hopes and expectations but this will be
uansiloya few months, perhaps few weeks, will clear 1t
all away leaving only the pure element Of devotion TO the
country and the Wing for the stimulus TO action. Dis
appointment founded principle will be perhaps Of longer
endurance but this too will gradually lose its force under the
calming power Of reflection and just view of existing facts
1t has been made to the readers of this paper that
the choice OF candidate from the free States regarded by
most desirable, especially this time We thought it
due to the free States principle and for the sake OF expe-
dency The Wings the Union, by their chosen epesen
taves in convention, have thought it important to bring
/
more nomnaion-wh its shadow for the free States and its
substance for the slave Sateswas morally certain. We bow
to the sounder wisdom Of their Judgment If the choice
to be for between Mr. Cass and Southern Whig could
| not hesitate moment.
That General Taylor will be found Whig in the
general application Of Wing principles, the Wing party
could dest expect hold TO be established by his Allison
letter and by the statemen," Of the Louisiana delegation
And understand the former also conveying pledge that
the great question Of principle which most divides and
agitaes the couGyhe extension Of slavery territory
now eehe will not seek interfere with the action OF Con-
That great point gained This arrangement
with which we can be satisfied.
In conclusion, therefore, have only to say that first, in
pursuance of the rule have always avowed to abide by the
action OF the Wing party convention assembed and equally
from beei that General Taylor can I've elected, and WILL II
elected the reasonable wishes and expectations of ell
Wing patriots from this moment turn eyes from the
things that behind declare hearty adhesion TO the
choice Of the Wing standard bearer and prepare do all that
lies in power for the promotion OF his and the
cess Of the great Wing party.

to the ticket The State of New York has known him long
and well the State Of New York will undoubtedly stand by
