would not be the candidate OF any party and " would

the people must take him on their own responsibility

The truth IT, and it cannot be disguised, that Gen
TAYLOR has had bad advisers If he had relied on the
great Wing party and struck for the Wig vote only
and not spread bis net 10 catch birds Of every iea
