ton, and have at last succeeded in getting
him TO mount the rosirum. He spoke at a
meeting called at Marshfeld where il is said
he made a sort'o Taylor speech and a sort'a
Anti Taylor speech; but if we may Judge Of
the whole by the following extract-which is
all we have seen Of his remarks-it must
have been a great deal more Of a sort o Anti.
Taylor than a sort o Taylor speech.
Most of us who are present. gentlemen,
are wings, New England wings, Massachu.
sets wings, Old Colony wings and Marsh.
field wings, and if the nomination at Phila.
delphia were entirely satisfactory our path Of
duty would be plain. But this nomination Is
not satisfactory 10 The Whjgs Of Massachusetts,
and IL urouH be lviH 10 attempt Ia conceal lie
fact, more especially and particularly, "a we
are bound to take our own convictions of du-
". from our convictions Of right, than from
what exists before us. No man can have
more respect in the line IF his profession, or
more esteem for another as a private citizen,
than | have for the nominee Of the Philadel-
phia Convention. Gen. IdyLor is a miiia-
ry man and a military man merely. He has
had no trainings in cjpil qGfirS, and has ex-
ercised no functions Of a civil nature. He
has mig been known 10 the people as a mill
tary man, and is known by his brilliant a.
c]hievemenls at Palo Alto, Resaca De la Pal
ma, Buena Vista and Monterey.
Now the Wings Of Massachusetts are Of
opinion that it uas mol ,cise or discreet TO 20
TO the army for a Chief Magistrate, and IF
General Idyior is elected it aCiH be the FIRST
INSTANCE in our history TINT q MERELY mill
tary man has been chosen TO jill that high If
flee.
Gen. Washington was a military man, but
he was by far better known, and better un-
derstood as a civilian. He had been employ
ed in civil offices from an early period of his
life. He had established a great character
for courage, wisdom and judgment. After
the revolutionary war, he was elected a mem
Der of the convention to draft a constitution
for the United States, and it was one of the
greatest honors ever conferred upon him that
he was selected to preside over the delibera-
tions of that august body, whereby he put his
name first and foremost 10 the constitution Of
the United States.
Gne. Harrison was a military man. But
by far the greater part of his life was occupi-
ed in filling civil Offices. As Governor of
Territories, as. a member of both housesAo of
Congress, as a diplomatic character abroad,
he gave the fullest evidence Of his ability as
a civilian.
This case Of The nomination Of Gen. Taylor,
therefore, stands by itself, 1Uithout precedent
and WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION IN THE HISTORY
OF THIS COUNTRY. On this account HE peoTLe
Of Massachusetts, feel dissatisfied. But there
are other grounds Of dissatisfaction
The nomination of Taylor was hailed, but
not very extensively in Massachusetts, by
some enthusiastic but not far seeing politicians.
They were a little foo early, il ,oOuii seem,
for them 20 utter their mites Of eruhaiion.-
Now the truth is, that in the nominations
throughout the country, as well as in the
Philadelphia Convention, Gen. Taylor was
nominated for exactly this reason. Believing
him to be a wing, he could be elected easily.
That's the whole of it,. The tVise, sasacious,
far-seeing doctrine Of AVAILABILITY lies at The
bottom Of The tchole gfH.
1t is for all wings 10 consider whether, in
this state of the case, we can or cannot give
our votes to the whig nominee. have en-
deavored to state the case as it has been pre-.
scented to my mind. | have stated that J
could not recommend the nomination Of a mere
IN military chieflain, Jut / hare stated also
That / shall not oppose his election. / stan,
notc upon the same declaration and shall mol
oppose Gen. Taylor. SiH no man is NOR,
firmly Of The opinion that SUCH A %NoMINATIo,
WAS NOT FIT To MAKE.
