Gen Cass has served his country both in the field and
in the cabinet He is accomplished civilian, of large
experience and of many years standing
Gen Taylor is "no politician has voted for forty
years-has formed opinion Gas he says) upon many
of the great questions of the day, though he Processes
o be whig but avows, the only article of his faith
that he will do Congress advises and directs him. and
that rather than attempt control their action he will
virtually sacrifcesthe veto power
Such are the qualifications OF the two candidates The
parties which have nominated them have pursued a
course which is essentially different The Baltimore
lay down the platform OF their faith They appoint a
committee to state those principles to their nominee and
he, with frankness which becomes republican, de-
clares his perfect in their opinions, and
pledges himself to carry them out.
Not so the wing convention and the wing nominee.
They meet in Philadelphia They are afraid to put down
their feet among the burning poughshares, They are
afraid of dscord in their opinions and distraction
in their own ranks. They refuse 10 avow their prnc
pies. They adopt the ground of their proceeding the
cunning remark of of their brethren "We will go
for General Taylor now, and for principles four
years hence" They call upon Gen Taylor-for what ,
to avow his opinions ito agree to their creed '-to
carry out neir measures mol AT SIMPLY 10

catches the cue and accepts the nomination in mise
rably laconic card, which carefully avoids the slightest
alluson to their principles to his

duties he will have perform, has confidence in himself

directly from the camp into the cabinet; and having no
confidence in himself, will be compelled to trust to the
advice of the knowing and perhaps designing counseors
around him. in whom he has much more confidence than
he has in himself The people will have to choose be-
tween these two candidates.
But the game with Gen Taylor does not terminate
here His from the commencement of his aspira
tons marked by the grossest inconsistency and nrm-
y of purpose He sets out with declaring that he will
never be the candidate of party He belongs only TO
the people. He will never be the President OF party
But, the Philadelphia Convention draws near, he shifts
his course. The Louisiana delegation declare, in his
name that he will accept their nominations and when it
is made he accepts it. But scarcely had this acceptance
been despatched when, in another letter. he again at
empts return to his Independent position, and throw
off the shackes of party.
