NY in the way. But. after all that has
been said by The Senator against our can
didaie, the sum and substance Of his OPP
position will be found at last in The fact
Ina, Gen. Taylor is WING. That fact
made him The standard bearer Of our par
Iiy, and il is that fact which makes HIM SO
obnoxious 10 The Senator and his party.
Had not Gen. Taylor been Wing, NJ
could he have been made any thing less
have gladly made him their candidate.
We all know that. before Gen. Taylor
politics were generally known al the
North, strong movements were made in
several Northern States In bring him OIL
rs tie Democratic canGidaic; but, as soon
as it was ascertained that he was Wing,
and Clay Wing too, they all fnTso"k
him and fed. ! support Gen. Taylor be.
cause he is Wing, and the Senator op.
poses him lOr the same reason; and lie,
me tell the Senator that, if ten. Taylor
!. had been Democrat, and not Wing
that sympathetic eulngy which he has just
pronounced on that great statesman of The
age, Mr.. Clay, might, with some qualif-
cations, have been used to soothe the Ills
appointment of the present nominee oil
the Baltimore Convention,
The Senator has expressed mrrh APP
parent sympathy for that distinguished
statesman. who has heen long known as
the leader Of the Wing party. The Sen.
: ator says that We have forsaken the ZEN.
, bodimeut" Of Wing principles; that We
. have discarded Henry Clay, No; so. sir
We know, and That Senator knows, tina
for The last twenty years Mr.. Clay ha,
been the mark for The poisoned arrows o
the adversary. Day and night have they
|. shot al his bosom, and nothing wnult
have delighted our opponents nnre thar
to have had another chance at him. IL
. such fight the Wing principles could no
have had fair play, and we should only
have sacrificed our glorious old leader with
out winning the haule. But, sir. We nos
| present you another embodiment of Whis
! principles in the person Of Gen. Taylor
Now, try your arrows upon him. Hl
has stood many hard fight, and nevP
been beaten. As our standard bearer, h,
