General TaylOr.

The Hon. Daniel Duncan, member of Con-
gress from Ohio, who has just been re-nominated
for Congress by very strong vote, has published
avery able address to his constituents, giving his
reasons for supporting General Taylor. We make
the following extract in regard to the personal
character OF Gen. T.:
s. have devoted some time, since the nomina-
lion, to investigation Of the character and opn-
ions of General Taylor. and have come to the
port of the Whg patty.
have traced him from the earliest records of
his history. find that a strong love of Justice
and deep regard for liberty always characterized
his conduct. | find him temperate, laborous, sru-
gal, simple and plain in all his tastes, and ready
at all times to sacrifice himself to secure the COM
fort of his fellow soldiers. Though his life has
been devoted TO arms, ! find him drawing his
sword only al the bidding of his Government, and
always tempering the stern necessities of war with
the more glorious attributes of bcnevolence and
mercy.
When the heat of the battle was over, no wife was
made widow no children fatherless, by any act of
his. No court martial followed in the train of his
brilliant career /; his hand never signed death
warrant. When he surveyed the fields fhis glo-
ry, the sternness of the warrior yielded the
bic impulses Of the man, and you find him with a
heart tender as that of child. overfowing at the
sight Of human misery. If there is one feature
in his character more strongly marked than anoth-
err it is high and stern desire for law and justice
ln all the leading traits of his character. there is a
striking semblance to that of Washington The
one has evidently served as model for the other
Their characters were formed under very similar
circumstances. Both entered the army while
young men, and the frs: services Of both where on
the frontiers, warrng against savages. There is
probably situation better calculated to deyelope
the mind of man and strengthen his character than
this His energies are kept constantly awake by
the sleepless activity of the foe with which he is
contending. Even in style Of writing they are a

The following remarks from the Providence (R.
ID Journal, so fully agree with our own senti-
aments, that We adopt them as our own &.
When Southern Wings vote for freedom, as
many of them do, we may be sure that they are
honest; but when northern Loco -focos, who have
gone for slavery all their lives turn round for free
dom IN moment of pique, their motives are ex-
ceedngly questionable and their stability is very
doubtful. This very Compromise Bill which has
just been defeated, owes its defeat to Southern
Wings. Had all the Southern Wings voted for it.
as did all the Southern Loco-focos and many oi
the Northern Loco-focos, it would have been car
ried, and would be to-day the law of the land
Shall we throw over such men as these, and fill
their places with the Van Burens and the Mortons
and the Buffers that we have been fighting agains,
so longl
Independent OF the undeniabe evils ofa section
al party, we do not believe that any such party,
can be so strong for its one object as broad ma
tonal party. What could free soil party, con-
fined as il must be to the North, have done that
the Wing party has failed to do in regard to this
compromise bill! What could a free soil party
have done in regard to Texas that the Wing party
did not do I, Where would such a party get the
twelve votes against the annexation of Texas tha,
the Wing Senators from slaveholding States gave!
Where would such party get the large Southern
vote-every member but one-that the Wings
brought in the House of Representatives agains,
the same inlqutous scheme Let it be remem-
bered that one half the opposition in the Senate to
the annexation Of Texas came from Southern
Wings Where was John A. DIR, then where
Benjamin Tappane Voting for the annexation.
Where were the other Barnburners, who are now
so loud for free soil Advocating the scheme and
denoancing traitors ererq acho opposed it,
We know that we bring these facts before our
readers very often that they must be stale, but
we cannot keep down the indignation which rises
when we hear ignorant ranters and unfedged pa
trots denounce in words of which they scarce
know the meaning, the men who have stood by
the Wing party in its darkest hour of extremity.
The Wings of the South are peculiarly situated
in the midst of slavery, surrounded and doubtless
imbued with its prejudices, exposed to its infuen-
ces, identified more or less with ts interests, they
have vet stood up manfully for freedom on many
occasions when Northern Locofocos-men who
are MISUNDERSTANDING placed themselves on
the side of slavery. 1t required no little moral
courage to do this they have been denounced, at
home, as faithess to the interests of the South
their speeches have been quoted and distorted,
and every unfair advantage has been taken of them.
Yet against all this obloquy and opprobrium, they
have stood up manfully for the right: and now we
are not willing TO desert them and enter in, to a
new organization with men who do not profess to
agree with US except on single issue, and who are
not honest even in that"

New York for Taylor.

The Herald has an estimate, based upon the
strength of the election of l847, in which it allows
Mr.. Van Buren fifteen thousand Wing votes, and
says that the Wings will then poll 2l7 .000 which
will be majority over the lIunkers of $4,000, and
of 1000 over the Barnburners. II adds that New
York may be set down $ all right for Taylor"
