which has appeared often in General Tayors letters
means Just nothing at all SO, as to what the General

G., All this makes no truthful nor Just description
d candidate who represents the principles of party
ana Il this be all that General Taylor when he SOL
snny pledged himself over and again " not rep
rses the principles of any parity" then say that, in
thus pedgng himself he deoetrsd the country, and used
language which could not but deceive. We will not
say whether this late day, the above quoted paragraph
can make General Taylor a sound wlig party candidate
L.; hat III, ,b,,J
General TAYLOR in view Of his past declarations and
pledges since he talked of for the presidency,
not be a, the same time honest and wing party
candidate and representative in the usually acknowledged
sense of those II any mans political honor was
ever pledged anything, then Gen. Taylors is pledged
that he will not be the candidate standard bearer of
the wing party and of wing principles those terms
are generally and rightly understood by the people.
We have thus expressed our views OF this letter. Its
encomium upon Mr.. Fillmore, in view OF his abolition
Doctrines should destroy, and we doubt not will destroy,
General TayIors hopes throughout the south The
son il alleges for the concealmeni OF his opinions IN
Mexico is an insult to the political organization Of our
country and shows that the General has yet much TO learn
to the true position and true relations OF candidate
nominated represent either of the great parties of the
''"A' -
says they are in this excuse he not fit for the Office of
President, so long parties exist among us. His state
ment of his position when nominated at Philadelphia is
dlsngenuous his statement of his course since that
event still disngenuous and his explanation,
rather his attempt disclaimer OF his nopary posi-
ton is worse than dsingenuous, inasmuch fasifca-
ton Of the record is worse than equivocation.
We have been drawn into longer discussion of this
document than we intended-longer perhaps than it de-
served We cannot close it without alluding, proudly,
though in single werd, 10 the contrast presented in the
demeanor towards the people, during this canvass, OF
General Cass and General Taylor! On which side has
been the dignity; which side the craftsmanship on
which side the frankness the mness and the decorum
Of high merit for high station' On which side have
been the vaclaon, the inconsistency, the sefcon,radc
ton the 6dgety self -dstrus the restless shifts, the
would be cunning CLOSES, and all the assduous YET
clumsy arts of the demagogue bungling at his newly
adopted trader The country has judged-is Judging
and in November next the judgment will be of record
