| A Rstort we'll deserved and well put.
We find the following we'll planted "facer' in the Au.
gusta Age gives the truth Of the matter with ph and
force:
.IfTaylor whom the Age abuses had only
would have nmped at the chance 70 him At Bal
moe, instead fits statesman Cass."-Ken. Journal.
II the democratic party had been thoroughly destitute
of all principle the federal party has shown itself be-
they might have nominated Taylor Baltimore in May
last before the wing convention Philadelphia in the
June following Taylor boldly declared after the wings
had nominated him. that he would have accepted nom
nation from the democrats the same ms he had
accepted the wing nomination. The 'tsrms" demanded
and acceded to in the of the whigs total aban
donment Of all their distinctive principles
OF the combined Judgment OF party comprising nearly
one half the feemen OF the republic upon Questions of the
gaves public interest the uniformed and uncertain
Judgment of singl, man--and that man, General
Zachary Taylor! The democracy, we proud to
say prepared surrender, for the sake of victory
all that makes victory all desirable They would
exchange places with victorious Taylor federal
ism. They prefer defeat their principles with Gen. Glass;
to triumph with Taylor at their sacrifceAngasta Age
II appears that in Massachusetts the ultra wings
are no, to have things altogether their way with
General Taylor, without struggle The Boston Atlas,
the most influential wing paper in New England, shows
its readiness make fight with the old ,ras, in the fol-
lowing significant paragraphs The democracy have only
to remain themselves, their principles, and their
organization, and the game of grab" played out by
the rival sections of their opponents Ere long the cards
must be shufled anew and then the people will to it
that they not twice cheated by wfig politicians and
principles in disguise
1--WE believe that to portion of what are called 'lhe
politicians of wing party, Gen. Taylor unwel
come candidate; this particularly the in New
York, in Ohio and in lesser degree, in other States
But the satisfied will himnay they preferred
him any other in the naon-and they elected him.
The great mistakes which party has made, heretofore,
were in listening much ultra views upon great ma
tiona questions; this in 1914. and they have felt
since hence they looked for candidate who was free
from uraismwho would represent more fully the popu
lar eelingand they found him in Gen. Zachary Taylor
The whg party come into power ut This time under the
most cheering and gratifying auspices They have
the power, in spite of the utrass fanatics the
side the other They stand the strong middle ground
which the position always held by the great of the
people SO long zoe hod this poom so long shall
hold the poosr of the government ohen depart from it,
shall depart from the people, and then the administration
must tdA
"One Of the important things which yet remain is
the selection of a cabinets and have the highest
fdence in ths'sagacy and judgment OF General Taylor
We believe he will calmly survey the field, and will make
his selection When selected, the administration may
be said to be fairly launched, and the 4h Of March il
will be prepared so swell its sails and speed its way At
tempts will be made, and, indeed have already been
made TO beliile and to exalt others who have
been spoken of for the cabinet This ought be- and
tried any great extent will recol upon those who
engaged i'm it, Every section of country unguesonaby
will b., represented in the bine and in every section of
country there many who would do honor to any
Cabinet eu
'No portion of country, thank Heaven Is so barren
intellect and intelligence to have several master
minds among its We haze doubt that there w be
found IN the cabinet by ,ohieh mean,
Uho haze been prominently knoon merely politicians
whose abilities have been exered in various other
departments of life The which led to the nomna
tisn of General Taylor may also lead to this we believe
wl-we hope it will II we understand the wishes of
the people, they desire have wise and practical admin
istaion Let General Taylor give this, and the PEOPLE
will support his admnistration--No POWER CAN PUT IT
DOWN Thus will country the most glorious the world
go forward its mission of freedom and phi
anthrophy."
