Rough and Ready in The Presidential chair
We annex brief extracts from few impor.
tani organs of public sentiment:
From the New York Courier and Enquirerl
We place in our columns, to-day the hon.
ored name Of Zachary Taylor, as The cand-
date of the Wing party in the nation; and
from this day the banner of The Wings is
in his hands. We go into the contest
with him as our leader-And will come
out of it, as he has always come out of hat
tle-yictorous, There be no defeat of Ia
chary Taylor.
The action of the national convention
will be hailed with JOY throughout the Union,
the precursor of greater JOY in his actual
election, and we enter upon the contest with
The inward conviction that November next
will decide in favor of Zachary Taylor, aud
The 4ih of March lS49, will see him inaug-
Grated as the Wing President Of the United
States.
The reception ofthe nomination in this
/ city was of The most gratifying and enthusi-
astic character. The news spread like wild
fire, and the pleased countenances of every
Whig-the cheerful alacrlty with which
they discussed the dawning and prosperous
hopes of the party, showed tina, here as else
where the national convention has rightly
interpreted the wishes Of the Wings of the
Union.
From the New York Journal of Commerce neutral. ]
GEN. TAYLOR NOMINATED We congrat-
ulate our readers and the country on the
auspicious result. Gen. Taylor is The Wing
candidate for the Presidency. This nomi-
nation, added 10 the many Independent nc
limitations Of the same gentleman in different
parts of the country, and the general favor
Of the people in his behalf, almost without
distinction of party, secures bis election be-
yond any reasonable doubt. With Gen. Tay-
lor for President, and peace with all the
world, the country viii! be safe and prosper
ons.
From the Baltimore Americana
TO the Wings of Maryland and of the y
STATES generally, and to many Democrats
who desire TO see constitutional Presi-
dent at the head of public affairs, the inteIli-
gence of this event will give the most live
ly satisfaction.
The character of Gen. Taylor remarkable
alike Tor simplicity and for elevation, exhib-
lis qualities thai lay hold at once upon The
admiration which delights in bold and bril-
liant achievements, and upon The judgement
requires substantial elements 10 give assured
convictions Of worth and TO impart conf
dence. Within some two years or more this
character, so massive in its nature and SO
imposing in lis greatness, has become known
clearly to the American people. Modest
unassuming-his name has never been mix
ed up with quarrels nor coupled with expires
sons of discontenf, he never courted notice
for promotion or special distinction; he al
: wavs had bis work TO do, and he always die
il.
From the Baltimore Sun, neutralI
The nomination of Gen. Taylor is in con
lormiy with that general demonstration o
popu lar favor with which his successful ex
ploits in The service OF his country were re
cived, and which, though i: may have aba
ed somewhat of its universally, in conse
quence Of party influences, yet has never los
any offs ervOr in The bosom of multitude:
who seem 10 have linked themselves 10 his
name and fortunes in the political field, will
as much zeal and enthusiasm as they honor
ed his distinguished military genius and
achievements. Gen. Taylor is not the sol
der OF fortune; his popularity is not the &C
cident of circumstances. He won il by faith
full service-by indomilabe resolution and
lnvincble courage.
The military services Of General Taylor
were the basis Of his original popularity, and
The means by which he made his way TO a
most exalted place in the hearts of his coun-
trymen Allied with these, he early mani
tested to their apprehe nsion sound prac tlcal
principles in all the relations and obligations
Of life; strong and original mind; clear
perception of elementary truth, in lis common
application TO The circumstances and charac
ter of events; and general capacity adapted
10 any and every occa sion.
