RESPONSE OF THE Press TO TIE NoMINATIos
OF GEN TAYLOR FOR THE PREs1DENcY.-We
most confidently believe that Gen. TAYLOR
will be triumphantly elected if the Wings
prove true TO themselves and their principles,
His claims have been endorsed by Wing Ma

sufficient guarantee for the soundness and or
thodoxy of his political creed. We can sup
port him with a hearty good will, believing he
will make President who will administer
the affairs of the nation as successfully as he
has defended her honor upon the memorable
battle fields of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma,
Monterey and Buena Vista. -
We announce to our Wing friends through
out the State, that we enter the contest, with
unshakan confidence in the belief that Gen.
Taylor, will be our next President, and believing
this, We shall work for the accomplishment of
that object with zeal worthy the support of
the glorious principles of the great Wing party
of this nation.
The Hon. Willard Fillmore, of New York,
was nominated as candidate for the Vice
Presidency.
| 1t is most admirable selection, and one
which combines the elements of strength and
popularity with the vases that will insure
triumphant success to the Ticket. Let the
Wings have an abiding confidence in their
own strength. and By UNION they can and
WILL triumph in November We are for

soon have convincing proof of the fact.-Ler.
