If there were srark of patriotism in the souls of Massachusetts whigs, they would show their respect for Gen, Taylor, and their contsmp; for he Legislature of l6l7, by passing in uae pre- sent session resolves of thanks and encouragement io our gallant armies in Mexico. But instead of do- ing this, they get up report rgainsi the war. from a committee the chairman ot which has said ot Gen. Taylor, that 'ii he had particle Of pspiofisa, RE IiGIoS OR HrMtNtTY m hls composition, be would instantly rssiga kis eomnissioH.' And. notwith- standing Gen. Taylor's repeated assertions that he did not desire the nomination to the Presidency and would not accept party nomination any how, thss same chairman and spokesman for the MassachH- sets whtg legislature gives the oid hero the lie cir cunsaau,ial by saying that "he, Taylor, Badoubted- ly covETs \ NOMINATION from both the great poiii- cal parties"
