The nomination of Taylor and Fillmore seems
to have filled the Wing party, as far as we have
heard, with universal sensation of joy, and
confident hope that the day Of our country's re-
demption is not far distant.
GEN. LESLIE CooMBs, AND HIS GOOD EXAM
PLE.--Gen. Coombs is the personal friend of
Henry Clay but he is now doing all he can to
secure the election of Gen. Taylor. Having
spoken in Newark on Monday evening, in Brook
Ign on Tuesday evening, he and Gov. Jones go
now to speak in Connecticut. Gen. Coombs, in
the course of his speech at Newark, speaking OF
Gen. Taylor, said:

minds me more Of Cincinnatus, whom Rome
called from the field to save her, than any other

ccstacics at the nomination of Gen. Taylor.
EXTREMES MEET.-While one or two papers
at the North are professedly hostile to General
Taylor, because he is stakeholder in fact, some
of the Southern papers object to him because he
is not a stakeholder in principle. The Mobile
Register accuses him of being an abotlunist,
while The Charleston Mercury, or rather cor
respondent of that paper, accuses him Of not be-
ing so sound on the subject Of slavery as Gen
Cass, and lutnates that Gen. Taylor regards
slavery as sin and an evil, while Gen. Cass
does not so regard ii.
Ii is not enough that Gen. Taylor is slave
holder, To suit the disciples of Calhoun but they
must have some assurance that candidate be-
lieves IL to be sinful not TO hold slaves, before
they Will give their votes for him. The extreme
pro-slavery men Of the South are not more nu.
merous, however, than extreme anti slavery men
Of the North. They about counterbalance each

JUMPING THE TRACEs.-In New jersey, the
Locos have as much as they can do to keep
down spontaneous combustion in favor of Gen

the country have expressed determination to
vote Tor General Taylor. Reports TO this efiec,
are now circulated; and, among others, several
Dem jcrats of Influence are named as being in
favor of Taylor. We do not believe half the
stories which are afioat in reference TO promi-
nent men OF our party; but still think it proper
to refer to the subject at this time, for the pur.
pose OF bringing it fairly before our readers"
