! DAVID P. HoLLowAY-We took occasion TO re-
mark two weeks since, that there much dissetis
faction among the friends Of Gen. Taylor at the Sc
lection OF Electors by the Wing Convention. But IN
this region, the greatest opposition to Mr.. Ho-
loway, as they knew his sentiments better than they
did any others. They do not object to him because
he is not devoted Whig-on the contrary, they
know him to be perfect slave TO the wing party
willing at any time to sell his vote liberty, at the
bidding OF any Convention of political demagogues
and knayes, who might convene for political barter
They do not object to him either, for any private or
personal considerations. In this respect they recog
nlze him to be as much ct gentleman any can
be who is so great a slave of party.
The Indiana Journal and Cincinnati Gazette appear
surprised at our objection TO Holloway. We can
easily set them right. We are for Gen. Taylor for
President, and opposed to those who not
for him uncondionaly-Will the Journal or the Ga
zette deny this right Besides. Holloway has said
and written things about the Mexican never
can and never will endorse. We look upon them as
reasonable in the highest degree-inurious to the
honor and the interests of country,-and such
we will never indorse them by voting for him, until
he repents in dust and ashes So long he u
private man, the representative of Wayne county,
he might entertain any opinions he might elect, but
when he becomes candidate for elector, and asks for
our vote, we have right to give objections, with
out being called to account by the editor
OF the Journal the old FEDERAL editor Of the Ga
zette.
We do think it was unwse and iniudiciOus in the
State Convention, when there such wide diferen
of opinion among the wings of the State, To select
the ultra, or the rabid of either extreme. IL they
had been disposed to conciliate to treat with cour
tesy, large majority of the wings of the State, they
would not have selected man Objectionable. Ma
ny of us honestly think his opinions and writings
opposed to the honor and interest of our country
They have in that district several aber sounder, and
less Objectionable whigs who have not said many
rash things, for which the wing party will now be
responsible. For these object to him.
Personally, the most amicable relations exist between
Us.
We know not the present political opinions of Mr.
Gregg, the eecor of this district, do we care,
if he is only for his own country in preference to
all others. In due time, he will be called on for
opinions.
And as a counterpart, we add the following, from
the TyPpecanoe (whig) Journal. We have no desire
to shorten it one word. Our readers will thus have
little whiggery for the benefit of their neghbors.
THE TAYLOR MOVEMENT IN CRAwFoRDsvILLE.-
We learn, we'll from the papers, through private
channels. that there was large concourse OF people
In attendance at the recent public meeting IN Craw-
fordsvie, assembled in pursuance of call made by
some fifty-odd TayloriteS-some Of them prominent
Democrats and others prominent Wings. Our infor-
nation is such as to warrant in saying, however,
that though the audience large it was merely an
audience, and nothing else. The people went to see
what to be seen, pretty much they would have
gone to amenagere of wild animals, or any other
interesting SHOW They were not actors but spectG-
tors
SAMUEL c. WILSON, ESQ.,, several times defeated as
a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this district, President of the meeting,
and made a speech. He succeeded by the Hon.
II-~rD - hara
ted the resolutions to the recent Wing County Con-
vention for Montgomery County. He said: al go
for Gen. Taylor because, as the people are all going
for him, wish TO keep out of the crowd | 60 for
Gen. Taylor, not because he is wing or democrat,
but because he is American of capacity, OF homes
ty, and merit. The Colonel insisted that he had not
changed his party predilictionsthnt he had not de-
parted from the Wings, with whom, he said, lie had
always acted /; but he favors Taylors election
because he deserves it." He alluded to his Matamo-
ras speech, and declared that he had ''not word
of that speech to qualify take back" His conclu-
ding remarks, as we infer from the scanty report of
his speech which we find in the Peoples Press, was
the following: eff were about to die, and desired
my works to live after me, would prefer this Maa-
moras speech to any that have made, TO be in
scrbed my tombstone"
Judge NAYLoR--a delegate to the National Wing
Convention-appolnted before it known that he
was for Taylor ct all hazards, but who ntmates that
and made a party speech That is said to have
been the richest part of this luscious "feas of fa
tnings."-Judge Naylor making no party speech
Well, well-whether wonders will ever cease not
lit is very certain that they haven't yet, any how
He spoke of Gen. Taylor's long military service.
Thought he was right in not making pledges "The
men who make the loudest ostensible pledges" said
the Judge are the greatest hypocrites, in politics and
religion" (Wonder who that hitsD He thought
that, other things being equal, the military man
should hare The precedence The ciran and politi
cian"
We have a great deal of respect for the opinions
of Judge Naylor, of course; but here must be al
lowed to dissent We think precisely the reverse,
and have the vanity believe that nne-telths of the
vrtuous and the good throughout entire country
if they would speak their sincere convictions,
with US. We shall not argue the point, however.
Judge NAYLoR has been, himself, military man in
his time, we admit-and that he makes good Judge
it is not our purpose to question. Still, doub
very much whether his military has had much tC
do his legal attanmenis in qualifying him for SC
important station.
All our accounts from the meeting in question
concur in combining the movement to a very few lndi-
viduals. When the resolutions were passed. we are
assured that not half dozen voices hearC
in their favor. Twas, after all, not only magnif
cent farce, but. as the Frenchman would say, ''ont
very grand failure"
An ADMIRABLE DECISION BY JURY.-A case wa.
recently submitted to jury in this county, which, fo
its novelty and happy result, deserves place in "th'
