THE QUAKERs AND GEN. TAYLOR.

The Locofoco abuse of the Quakers since the
election is in striking contrast with the ilattery
which was lavished on that Society before the elcc-
ton. The Washington Union, amongst other De-
mocratic prints, we remember, was quite in love
with the amiable Friends some weeks ago, and
thought it impossible they could support General
Taylor, military man, for the Presidency; their
principles were, on the contrary in such accordance
with the character and habits Of General CAss that
they would surely give their suffrages for him. But
soft words were of no avail with that intelligent,
conservative, and conscientious sect. They voted
for one whom they believed TO be intlexibly honest
and conscientious, like themselves, and who, though
brave and successful soldier is the sincere friend
of peace And now see how the Locoioco tone is
changed. We quote the annexed paragraph from
the Pennsylvania of Thursday, the leading De-
mocratic journal of Philadelphia:
"THE FRIESps AND THEIR VoTE--The Friends in this
city and county the late election voted for Taylor, almost 10
man. II the next Administration is military Admu.s'ra'
tion these meek and gentle citizens VIII have themselves only
t. blame. After all there nothing pleasing than real
sineey We are not sure that the fashionable opinion Whcl
makes the Friends of this vicinity fanker and more reilS-
bic race than their worldly neghbcrs, is not saalo@
fable In The Western Reserve OF Oho the opponents war
and Of men war; refused boldly vote for Taylor and SO
commanded respect for their opinions Here, with much
more preence antwar notions and with vast deaI more
of harangue and proestaon against military and ea-
sures the peculiar peace advocates allowed themselves and
sas.asrcd broonle main -enient OF Ia ior
success. Plain TOM admire the character of the sect
the more because This garng violation of Of its boosted
features and when hereafter instances of hypocrisy and
consistency quoted this memorable specimen be cited
Grst because the bodes of which have any record
This is harsh language, and entirely grauious.
There is no affinity between the principles or pro-
essions Of he Quakers and the principles and prac-
tees of the Locofoco party. The one are, by their
religion, education, and intelligence, naturally con-
sentative ard tolerant; the other prone to war,
jaco5nc in heir tendencies, fierce and proscriptive.
There is nouing in common between the two, po-
ILLEGALLY speaking. The idea that the Quakers in
tended to support General CAss we thought idle at
the time, anu took the liberty of telling our neigh
Dor the UIion SO. They should not be abused
for not dong what they could not consistently do,
and what hey ought not to have been expected
to do. ...

The scandalcus and indecent attack upon the
military and private character OF Gen. TAYLOR
which appeared in the October number of the De-
mocratic Review has met with little sympathy from
any one capable of approaching the difference be-
tween fair criticism and partisan abuse. The fol-
lowing notice Of portion of the Reviews scurrl-
Gus onslaught was written by gentleman who is
not only Democrat, but who knows what he is
talking about and the truth of what he asserts in
refuation of the malignant invention Of the reviewer
GEN TAYLOR AND The DEMocRArIc REyIEw.-In the

This vile and scandalous asehood carries reuaon upon
its face. We learn from the highest authority that all the

United States, and the "waIdng" article used ex-

he will find that such attacks the foregoing upon the private

enmen will he repudaicd and scomed by every honorable
man Of the democratic party. A DEMOCRAT.

The Charleston Mercury of Wednesday gives only partial
from three counties in Geogia and this Gu
rious fact about Richmond county, viz that in three pre-
residents Of the county."- Union Of yesterday.
The above fact is SO Significantly stated by the
!" Union" as to imply improper conduct on the part
of the Wings. We presume that the nonresident
Wings who voted in the precincts alluded to were
entitled to vote under the laws of Georgia At all
events, half as many Democratic non-residents ex-
ercised the same privilege in the same precincts.
This fact we learn from the Democratic organ at

Of what is right and what is wrong, to decide mo-

moral and intellectual culture on every voter in the

The Civil Revolution in our Federal Govern
ment, not being a revolution Of force, but of the
ballot-boxes, operating through the Constitution, is
not of instant effect but abidcs the time of the Laws

grcss assemblies, and breathes. into the whole Gov
eminent spirit fresh from the People. The gov
eminent Of ZACHARY TAYLOR is to be the govern
ment Of Congress, not the government Of one man
and hence, before the Wing government can be
complete, the new Congress must assemble. The
existing Wing House will save us from further ag.
gressions of Locofocoism and it may, perhaps, mo-
dify the Subtreasury, and better the Tariff, the
Senate concurrng but some time will elapse, ne
cessarily, before the freshborn spirit Of the People
will be infused into all the branches Of the Gov
eminent.
