of the Union do Wing fires burn purer or
brighter than in Ohio. Mr. Allen will re-

A correspondent of the National Intelli
geDcer states that Gen. Taylor was youch-
ed for by Gen. Scott to be san honest man
and good Whig'' anterior to the accounts
being received at Washington Of the battles
of Palo Alto aud Resaca de la Palma, as APP
pears by a communication published in the
National lntelligencer June 27, 1916. 1t
was suggested by friend to Gen. Scott,
that were he to achieve brilliant victory
in Mexico, Gen. Taylor would be elected
President. "Suppose he is" was the mag
unanimous reply, 'swe shall have for Presi-
dent an homes, man and good Wing"
Gen. Taylor has positively declared him
self in favor of peace-against territorial
ggrandizement-and committed all other
questions to the wisdom Of Congress,
pledging himself not to exercise the veto
This affords an element of security to the
Free States of vast importance, and it pre-
sents Gen. Taylor in a conservative aspect,
calculated to challenge the admiration of
the country and at the same time to ensure
the full confidence of the party with which
he is identified. In his celebrated resolu-
lions, Mr.. Clay em7hatically staked himself
upon the qualification of the veto, and the
sentiments expressed in the Allison letter
patriot and statesman.
Candidate Cass is now spoken of by the
Locos as the gallant young aid of Gen. Har-
rison in the last war. In 1910 these same
truthful historians said Gen. Harrison new
err fought battle. Good memories are re-
quired by our opponents.
Gen. Cass, by his votes, speeches and
letters, has avowed himself in favor of ex-
tending our dominion of conquest-of war
and opposed to the policy of protecting
American industry, of internal improve
ments and economy in the expenditures of
the Government. On the slave question, he
contends in his letter to Mr.. Nicholson that
the people of the territories may determine
whether slavery shall or shall not exist
within their limits. We need not say that
such doctrine is false, absurd and uncon-
sttutional. 1t begs the test, and cowardly
and basely surrenders the whole and the
only vital principle at stake.
According to the Rev. Mr.. Bellows, the
sale of the public parks of London would
probably pay off the national debt ssThe
first and last characteristic of London," he
writes, g the pecnliarity which thrusis itself
upon YOU every moment, is its size! Of
this no description gives an adequate idea.
TO say hat ii is thirty miles around, or that
one may ride seven or eight miles across

ed rows of h,uses; to say that tits ten times
as large as New York, and has hundred
streets half as long and as wen built as
Broadway; to say that Il includes parks, in
which the whole city of Boston, or all New

its magnitude
The Locofocos hereabout-says the Lam
caster (Pa.) Tribune--in order to prevent
the much-dreaded nomination of Gen. Tay-
Tor, held up the old hero so strongly TO their
followers as ''no party man." as "Dem-
oerat at heart" that they induced number
OF them to believe it, and scores of them
commenced throwing up their caps Justify
for Old Zack. The leaders are now striving
to undo the michief created by their own
double-deaing, by denouncing the old hero
as bitter Wing; but it is an uphill BUSH
ness. These men know him to be an hon
est man aud a pure patriot, aud they are de-
termined to stick to him now without re-
gard to his political opinions.
The New York (Dem.) Evening Post of
June 18th, says, "Nve can assure the Union
that, so far rs concerns the politics of this
State, its attention 20 us is but labor lost.
To obtain the vote of this State for
MIR. Cass is as impossible as it would
be to obtain it for Big Thunder him
self, if his friends were to nominate him for
q candidate. Those who know any thing
of Mr.. Cass's late progress through the
State, know that never was so discourag-
ing a reception given to any candidate of
any party as that which he received among
US. The public aversion was apparent en-
