A SPEECH FROM GEN. TAYLoR.-Recorder
Baldwin of New Orleans, on the occasion of
Gen. Taylors visit to that city, gave the fol-
lowin toast:
"A gallant Commander and a grateful People
the 18th March, 1919, will prove that this Re
public is not ungrateful."
To this toast the General remarked (says the
report of the New Orleans Bulletin that as an
%allusion had been made to the Presidency, he
would beg the indulgence of the company,
whist he trespassed upon their social enjoy
ment, to say a few words in reply. His name
had been brought forward in connection with
that high office, the most exalted on earth, be-
ing the gift of a free and enlightened people,
and not the heritage Of a royal line-without
his participation. Nor did he now covet SO
distinguished an honor, attended, as it was
with such weighty responsibilities. He look
ed with no small degree of awe, to the posi-
bility of his filling the chair once occupied by
Washington, Jefferson. Madison, and other
distinguished citizens.
He, however, had always thought, that it
was the duty of citizen, to obey the voice of
the people; and if it should happen that their
choice should fall an him, he would serve them
to the best of his ability. But, if they should
prefer. another, who would fill the station
with greater advantage to his country, such a
choice would be most agreeble to him.
He had hoped, as that plan of operations had
been determined upon, that he would have been
allowed to have led, in his proper place, one
column of the army, to the Halls of MonteZu-
mas, and been instrumentalin e~ffecting a peace
with Mexico, after which, he had desired to
retire to private life; and continue with his
family for the remainder of his days engaged
in agricultural pursuits, to.which he had been
accustomed in his youth. As it was, he was
in the hands of the people and would cheerfully
abide their decision, be it what it may.

TAYLOR MEETING AT WAsHINGToN.--The
following short account of the Taylor Meeting
recently held at Washington City. is from the
letter of the Baltimore Sun:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.
A preliminary meeting was called this even
ing, at Coleman's Hotel, to make preparations
for a movement at the seat of the government
in favor of bringing General Taylor before the
country as a candidate for the Presidency
There were about three hundred persons pres
ent, of all parties, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed.
James F. Holiday was called to the Chair,
and Joshua L. Henshaw acted as secretary
A series of resolutions were offered and adopt
ed in favor Of the objects of the meeting, and
calling for a general expression of opinion on
the subject.
The meeting was addressed by Mr.. Sherman,
of Alabama; Governor Gayle, of Alabama, and
the Hon. Meredith P. Gentry, of Tennessee
the speeches were most eloquent and humor-
Gus, and were received with great favor by the
meeting. They recommended that nothing
premature should be done-that there was nc
occasion at present for moving too rapidly in
the matter, but thought it better to leave it en-
tirely to the people, the large majority of whom
were daily becoming supporters of old "Rough
and Ready" The meeting adjourned in fine
spirits.

A TAYLOR INCIDENT When Gen, Taylor debarKed
from the steamboat which brought him to this city,
from the Barracks, his path was beset with thousands
of admirers. Each one wished tograsp the warworn
veteran by the hand-each one to look for at least once
upon tine features of a man, who, in the bloodlest
fights in Mexico, preserved an unrufed countenance.
The dense mass crowded around the "old manbrave,"
and the air was filled with the shouts of those who
babe him 'welcome!'' A near relation OF the old
General was walking with the worthy Alderman
-,of the First Municipality Council. A stout old
fellow, who looked as sit he had gone through the wars,
kept ~nudging, and Glowing his way through the
crowd, when at last the Alderman told him to
desist.
Sir said the Alderman, don't you see that the
gentleman who is hanging on my ar 4, is aged and
infirm9 Why do you crowd us son
Cant help it. boss" exclaimed the intruder, as he
threw his hat into the air, can't help it,, Must see
the old man! Jist let me look into his darned splen-
did old features once and then youmay shove me right
nto the river ="
The tarpaulin patriot was introduced to the Cen
eral without delay, after which, he went on his way
rejoicing. IN. o. Della.

THE ADVANTAGE oE A "RE1iG1oUs ExPREss1oN."-
A lively correspondent of the New York Mirror,
writing from Rome, gives us the following sketch OF
a character he met there:
Every American artist that comes here sends home
a dozen or two of portraits of the beggars in the char
acter of Apostles, or Virgin Marys. A sturdy old
fellow who blacks my boots, tells me that he has been
painted twenty-eight times in the character of Saint
Paul, thirteen times as Joseph, nine times as Saint
Peter-he cannot remember how many times as the
Roman Father, - and as 'the Head of an Old Man, -
at least a thousand times. One would think that from
assuming these characters so often, he would have
attained to uncommon sanctity, but he is in truth,
the greatest rogue l have seen in Italy.

hon. THOMAS CORWIN.

We alluded last week lo recent speech
of this distinguished man made ut Viii
,nngton, D. The following paragraph is
an extract from synopsis Of the same
speech
Mr. Corwin said he was not in the hab-
il of drawing comparison between the
men OF the present age and tho il'ustrious
Washington; but if there was man OF the
present day who rcsembled the Father oi
his Country in all those noble qualities Of
mind and heart which distinguished that
beloved hero and Statesman from the men
Of his day, that man was Zachary Taylor.
Washington, at the head Of our army in the
revolutionary struggle, exhibited those finer
traits Of character which directed the eyes
of his counsrymcn 10 him as the no
bIcst specimen OF humanity; and Taylor,
ut Fort Harrison, in the swamps Of
Florida, and at the head OF our army in
Mexico, has shown himself equal TO every
emergency, and has displayed qualities of
mind and heart--in his iirmncss and dccis-
ion Of characterize bis humane treatment
Of fallen and PROSTATE ioe--which have
endcared him 10 his coutrvmcn, aud have
induced them to single him out as the man
best fitted for the present crisis, and 10 adj
minister the Government in that plain Re-
publican simplicity, which marked the I'D
ministrations of the carly Presidents
Washington, when solicited by his country
men TO become candidate for the Presi-
dency, declined upon the ground that he
was unfit 10 discharge the duties of go i'm
portant an office; and Taylor, when impor-
tuned to become q candidate for President,
Nv the descendants OF the very men who
elected Washington, shows the same modcs-
~, and EMPLOYS the Same language to ex-
press his unfitness for the station, that
Washington did; yet green boys Of the
present day rise up and tell us that Taylor
is fool! Washington made very good
Presiden.-qui,s as good ono as Polk O.
although he declared himself unfit Tor the
office; md he (Mr. Corwin) was willing to
in,rust the helm Of State with General 1'ay-
lor, as he has selected Washington ior bis
standard.
