THE UNION.


One word need not be said by the democratic party q,
to the qualifications and fitness OF Gen Taylor for the
presidential Office Some Of the more frank and honor
able oil the wings occasionally forced 10 admissions
this point which will save the republican press the
trouble OF single remark in reference to it, Several
such exposures have been lately made in the State OF
OHIO, by men standing very high in the wing ranks and
in the late harangue of Mr. Webster at Marshfed much
OF the same kind OF tuth-elling and plains dealing was
evinced His graphic description of the fitness of Gen.
Taylor Tor the presidency well deserving be recorded
in letters of gold We have observed the marked silence
OF the wing journals throughout the couAry In reference
to this speech Even the Inteligencer, whose editor
really thinks Daniel Webster nothing less than the god
like, is struck perfectly dumb with these hard hits upon
its candidate Gen Taylor (says Mr.. W. SIS military
merely, aoio Uote has life and neper
formed expressed opinion any Of the great
agitation before the people, phose line Of policy,
If elected, pretends TO kno,V predict and who
stands committed only upon the single point of the prae-
tissd use Of the vsto poicer"
This is what may be called plain tak-a talk as some
would have il, "aoih the bark on"and yet whigery, in
portions of the Union, still clings the military
chief with mistaken tenacty If successful OF which
there is happily possible DANGER the people of this
Union would not be long in asceaining how well timed
and how faithfully true the laconic sentiments of
the leading star OF New England federalism.

perIs if by General Tsylors election either section OF
the country shall find itself not fairly represented in its
votes but fatally duped The state of things which would
result from presidential at this time
Quoted and SO decided, has parallel in the history of
our country II would do than anything which has
before occurred 10 shake the pillars OF the constitution
Yet this is precisely the result which must follow the
tactics of the wings, if by those tactics they
force their candidate into the presidency upon the
cealmen Of his opinions 1t is fortunate, indeed for the
country that such event is in the highest degree i'm
probable.

The Confidence of oar Friends

We have been told by good authority, that gentleman
from Baltimore yesterday made the following bets 80 00o
that Cass and Butler will be elected President
and Vice President, $500 Georgia, and $500 Lou
isana He afterwards said that he had $4,000 more
which he would be pleased TO bet on the general result
Another gentleman, is also stated, bet $1,000 on the
general result that Cass and Butler would be elected
next President and Vice President These facts indicate
the confidence of friends in the triumphant success o
Cass and Butler in November next

After seven-weeks' tour through the Old Dominion
home, several leading wings who proessed TO lay claim
to Virginia for Taylor and Fillmore; but upon what
grounds their belief founded past my COM
prehension to find out At all events, nothing like
have been present where the iron hearted democracy
have met together in twenty-five counties, and in
numbers highly respectable, and generally found them
by means noisy, bat firm and determined in their sup
port OF Cass and Butler Indeed, il was plainly to be
that the latter adds great strength in Western Vr
gina to the Baltimore nomination; whilst il was equally
clear that Fillmore, in the minds OF many, was dead
weight on General Taylor, because they look upon the
former the father OF the black tariff of 1912 and al
though the good and true wings may go for Mlly still
they will 60 slack AS TO the democrats they would
just 60 for Giddings, the most abd aboonist
TO be found in the whole country.
For General Taylor, as military man, all speak OF
him in terms OF commentator; but the barney which
the old gentleman was made to hold out to the New
Workers, in favor of Fillmore looked upon device
too hnly yelled to hide the motive Of the writer, and
whose great ann, Gas many connd0 from first to last,
to make General Taylor appear "all things to all
men, pending the canvass for the presidency, although
he had been by his desire nominated by wing
convention party grounds strictly and simply because
he had declared himself to be whig without protesting
to know word of their principles and then, again,
many of the warm hearted friends of Mr. Clay unhes-
tatngly say that General Taylors nomination eff
fected at the eleventh hour by his FRIEND Judge Saund
family affair." and only refer to it in order to show that
there firing going on Indeed, only in
tended TO say, when commenced writing, that il wing
editors and wing letter writers in other Str ties have
better foundation to build their hopes upon for the cleo
ton of Taylor and Fillmore than what there in Vr
gnia my word for il, il all gone gosng with them
Lei the democracy of all the other States roll up the
tire strength of the democratic party in favor OF Cass and
Butler, and the seventeen votes of Virginia may be
drawn for at sight on the 7th day OF November next,
