med both by the North and South as pledge on
the part OF Gen. Taylor. that he would, if e.

The Buffalo Commercial Of the next day thus
comments on South Carolina movements, md
the 'basty soup some of the Albany Wings bur.
ned their mouths with:
"Never do to-day that which can be put of
ii tomorrow" is a maxim, obedience to which
Talleyrand used 10 say, was the great secret Of
his remarkable success IN lie. TaIlcyraud was .
politician, and, take him all in all, the most
udroit and successful one wo ever saw. He
could act with prompmess and terrible energy

amscCaneous sort of meeting, endcavorcd to-
nntrap the old General into Il reply that could
be construed into an approval of the South Car.

territories. How General Taylor walked over
the trap that was laid for hun our readcs have
seen, aud the liue satisfaction his lcuer gave
the Charleston schemors, is farther shown by
the fact rhaI he has been formerly rcpudluled
ly tham as their candidate, aud the support Of
Cass is recommended instead. AT the meeting
