gen. Taylor and the Vote of Thanks.

A resolution has passed the Senate of this State
containing a rote of thanks to General Taylor,
inviting him to visit the State and partake of its
Inequalities, and asking him correct has official
report of the battle of Buena Vista, and expressing
the belief that he will do it. Euery nOhig. we are
informed, voted for its passage.
Various attempts were made TO amend It, one OF
which was to make it include Scott and the other
Generals of the army in Mexico and another to
make II express the hope instead of the belief that
Gen. T. would correct his official report, as to ex-
onerate the I'd regiment of Indiana volunteers from
the charge Of colrGrdice, but all such amendments
were voted down by the 'chigs, and few democrats
who believe the wings cutting their own threats
BY It's passage. One democrat, who voted for it, de-
cared it to be his belief in debate in the Senate, that
it would be worth a thousand votes to his party in
the approaching canvass.
The wings are continually taxing their brains to
outwit the democracy. but facts show that in these
sniesctual efforts they oftener outw themselves than
they do their opponents; that they have done it in
this matter is certain. The resolution designed
by the rraig friends of Clay. to kill Gen. Taylor, Po
HticaHy in Indiana, and so it will; for the Generals
political friends here are wings.
Whether Gen. Taylor's report concerning the ID
regiment be true or false it absolutely certain that
he will not correct it. He has had ample time and
opportunity In do so if he would; and he cannot now
without making fool of himself If he should do
IT, he would get no credit for it. Everybody would
say lie forced into it to get the vote of Indiana
for the Presidency. If he should not, and he surely
will not, the Clay wings will say, Indiana cannot and
will not vote for him-he has DETAINED and vIhed her
brave sons and refuses to 90 them justice. This
Is the object, end and aim, of this resolution
but its effect will be TO disgust, here and there, an
honest Taylor wing, and keep him from the polls at
the Presidential election, or drive him into the
democratic party More than this, like the celebra-
ted Lexington circular, it will provoke the Taylor
branch of the wing party all over the Union. and
increase :he existing family feuds.
The truth is, certain wing leaders encouraged the
Taylor fever, during the late State and Congressional
elections for the purpose of securing majority upon
the floor of Congress, and in State Legislatures
and having succeeded, they are now most anxious tC
lag the ghost they have raised; but they find he ''w
not down at their bidding" What can be done
The great mass Of their party remember the result Of
these military in 1910, in the disasrou:
results Of "TIppecanoe and Tyler too" and will moi
vote for military fame and qualifications, rithou
ciUd requirements, which Gen. Taylor has all along
been honest enough to declare lie has not.
It is no business of ours, but the wings seem t.
have got themselves into tight place, passing tn,
resolution alluded to above and if this same ole
coon should make sad havoc with their politica
chicken rooSts and cOrneds, in this State in the ap
preaching Presidential canvass. they will have tn,
consolation of knowing that they ouitted themselves
