especially in New York, the New York journals have OPP

Of the question. They have, in such questions, taken
ground absolutely European and more hostile to
publican feelings and sympahies, than would have
expected from tie highoned arisIccac papers in
London and the oil Europe! Upon the Irish ques-
lion, which offered field for sympathy broad and wide,
sufficient affect the whole OF Irish in
Penn yvana, Ohio, and elsewhere, these journals took
the very ground which the violent antIrish jour
nails took in London and other places Now, it is well

States, is quite large enough to decide close cleo

Is possible therefore, that such course OF action, in the
greater portion of the wing press now supporting General
Taylor, be expected to operate advantageously and

tanly Such course and policy cannot operate other
than unavorably upon the prospects of General
Taylor in every part of the Union
Upon another highly important public sentiment the
wing journals and wing journalism here have taken up
simar ami American antipatotic and anti democratic
ground. They constantly represent Gen. Cas- the
