An OBJEcTloN.-lt is objected to Gen
Taylor that he is no politician. This
instead OF being an objection, should be
his strongest recommendation to public
confidence as it affords some guarantee
that he IS an honest man. Washington
was no politician, but the nation has never
had his equal in the. executive chair
Gen. Taylor has made no other pledge
than that OF constitutional aud faithful
discharge ol his duty; and that is all that

NE NEWSPAPERS

Newspapers contain everything, and
are fvund every where. The threads Of
newspaper correspondence enclose the
whole globe in network of espoaage-
Nothing can happen that is not sure to get
into the newspapers while il is happening
aud sometimes before il has happened. 1t
is no idle buster to say that the eyes Of
America are on you. The eyes Of Amer
lea are the Newspapers Of America; aud
these same eyes are on every man, woman,
and child, whose lives are of the slightest
interest outside their own circles.
1t has been beautifully SAID of flowers,
that they start up in the most ed
places. where there is hardly handful Of
soil, and even where there is none, strik-
ing their slender, yet vigorous roots into
tue crevices of the naked rock. The
same thing may be said Of newspapers
They seem TO be sown, like certain seeds,
by the caprice of the winds. Wherever
there is a settlement Of d zen people
yon may look out for a newspaper. The
first necessity of new population is a
newspaper 1t inveris sometimes the vul.
gar principle Of political economy, which
will insis, that the demand produces the
supply; for it happens with newspapers,
every now and then, that the supply pro.
duces the demand. The newspaper of a
little colony often comes into existence
before the readers; some far sigh,edspecu-
lator being always in advance with an ar
ticle OF consumption which he knows W ell
enough will become indispensable by and
by. Even New Zealand, while il was yet
undergoing the early stages an excru-
ciating experiment, had a newspaper; aud
Hong. Kong, where the fatality Of tue cli-
mate might be supposed TO doctor any
senlible man from risking more than o
months subscription, has its Gazette.
Indeed. we are not quite 80 sure that q.
newspaper is not sort Of social instiuct.
People get up newspapers where there is
Nobody TO read them but themselves.-
Passengers on long vo, ,sge, who have
no news to tell, except that which they
