1t is seldom that we find occasion to agree
with our Locofoco contemporaries, upon any SUBJ
ject having the most remote connection with
Federal Politics; the general tone oftheir polt-
ical sentiments is SO repugnant to our views, that
we are truly glad to find them taking conserva-
tive ground upon any question, even though we
are sure that it isassumed because some thought
less Wing has taken the opposite position. Some
ofour Wing brethren in the warmth of their afiec-
ton for the noble old hero, whom every patriot
in the land, no matter what hia party predelic-
tions may be, must venerate and love- have as we
think, rather unadyisedly compared him to Gen.
Washington. We confess this was not BY any
means suited to our taste, and we could not help
protesting against the sacriiege, if we may be
allowed the expression, Of nstituting compare
son which claims for any living man, no matter
how eminent his public services, 1.-THE of the
veneraton due to the memory of the Father Of
his Country We do not love Gen. Taylor less
because we love the memory of Washington more
and it is surely no dsparagement to the best man
Of our day and generation to place him far below
Gen. Washington, in assigning him his position
on the roll Of fame.
But what right have the Locofocos, who were
the FIRST to set this example of bad taste, in the
case Of Gen. Jackson, whom they pretended to
consider a s'second Washington, to turn up
their noses in affected disgust at the folly of
few Whigs' We humbly submit that Gen.
Taylor approaches the character Of Washington
I 4. n,
if this were not the fact does any man aequain-
ted with the character of the Locoloco press be-
lieve that should Mr.. Leake, Mr.. Bednger,
Fanny Wright, any other Democratic de-
claimer take into his or her wise head to extol
Lewis Cass as the equal of Washington in every
attribute to greatness, solitary Locoioeo pen
would resent the indignity, or solitary Locofo-
co partizan wonld love the speaker less. We
trow not.

no such incident recorded. Ii there stated that Nc.
