Blasted Hopes,

The New York Express, al the head Of
its columns, has the following from Daniel
Webster:
':In the dark and hoobied might Tint is
upon as, see no star ADORE The horizon
promising light to gui4eus, but The mteIii-
gent, patriotic, united whig party Of the
United Nofes."
If that is not building hopes on slim
foundation, then we are mistaken. The
"potriotic" wing party was dissolved when
it arrayed itself on the side of the enemy.
and il ceased to be united when it abandon
ed its principles at the Chinese Museum.
Its intelligence left it when it selected
arailabiltfy in the place Of principle, and
took "a man who says that he does not
know whether Bank of the United States
is constitutional or motor whether pro-
tective tariff be warranted or forbidden by
the Constitution,

From the Buena Vista, Saturday, June Is, 1913.
General IaylOr'S Postum :,ssl
Ga s.

In all our reviews Of the position of
General Taylor, from the meeting OF the
wing convention down to the publication
Of our last number, we took occasion to
express our undated confidence in his
consistency and independence. Notwith-
standing the card of Mr.. Peyton, and the
recent demonstrations in New Orleans.
we continued to believe that General lay
lor would. in due time do justice to his
own character, and extricate himself from
the equivocal position in which his parti-
san advocates had placed him. We ex-
pressed such confidence and belief, be-
cause we had always regarded, and then
continued to regard him, as man net
made in the mould in which politicians
are generally cast. A ground deliberate
ly assumed by him, we believed he would
never desert. A pledge, once given, we
would have staked our lives he would
never violate. 1t now becomes our pain
full duty, as men of truth and candor, to
confess that our confidence and belief
were without foundation-that, from the
beginning to the end, we have Rugged a
cloud, and given ourselves to delusion.
A letter has been received from Gener-
al Taylor, by the committee of correspond
ence and the electors OF the independent
party, in reply to one which they address
ed him on the 18th of June. At the spe-
cial request of General Taylor, that letter
will not now be published. 1t will, how
ever, be submitted to the State convention
at the meeting on the 9th, Having been
favored with an opportunity OF per>uing
it, we are permitted to say that General
Taylor fully adopts and sanctions the state
ment Of Judge Saunders, which we repub-
lish today, and recognises that statement
as having been made by his authority. 1t
is needless for us to say that the ground
on which we have heretofore stood in our
support of General Taylor is thus taken
from under us, deliberately and unquivo-
cally, by the individual in whose behalf
we assumed it; and there can be neither
doubt nor difficulty in regard to the alter
native which such a state of things pres
ent to us.
This paper, as our readers are aware,
was established for the purpose of advo-
eating the election Of Gen. Taylor as the
candidate Of the people, irrespective of
party, and without regard to party nomi-
nations. When we commenced its pub
LEGATION, we believed, as indeed all the
world seemed to believe, that it was i'm
possible to misunderstood his position
so repeatedly and explicitly had he defn-
ed and proclaimed it.
To Mr.. Taylor Of Cincinnati he had de-
clared, 81 can and shall yield to no call

That Letter.

By law all letters refused to be taken
out of the Post Office are to be returned
to the General Post Office at the end of
the quarter.
On the 22d, the "Union" states, in the
return of the Baton Rouge Post Office TO
the Department, forty-eight letters were
received, addressed to Gen. TAYLOR,
which had been REFUSED. The postage
on them amounted to $3.50. Among
them are letters post marked at Phladel-
phia on the 7th, 9Th, 9Th and 10Th of June,
two Of them directed in the handwriting
of Mr.. MooREHEAD. Thus it would seem
that the letter announcing to Gen. TAY-
LoR his nomination had not been post paid,
and he refused to take it out. The letters
were sent back unopened to Baton Rouge.
