To THE EDITOR OF THE BANNER Il see by the
last Democrat that the united west have presented
tho claims of Judge Oldham, for tho vacancy in
the United States Senate, occasoned by the death
Of Col. Ashley. | have ever believed that locai-
ty should not be the test for political prefermcnt.
but at the same time yield implicitly to the doc
trine that far practicable the representatives
should be distributed 10 give each portion of
the State her duo weight in the councils of the
country. | do not think the west have had any
just cause of complaint upon the score of inius-
tce, they have had the lamented Yell for years as
their Representative in Congress. and for four
years Governor Of the State, and they have had
their fullest quote of representation upon the Su-
prame Bench. The north | do think in sober ear
nest have had a much greater right (if oither) to
complain of injustice, but | before remarked |
do not see the policy Of making location a test Of
political prefermont more especially in that of u
States Senator. If however, the north and west
should claim the Senator, and will unto upon some
one competent in every other respect they shall
have my most hearty concurrence. and when am
satisfied that such is the feeling and desire Of
those portions of the State, will no longer be an
asPrant Tor that Office; until then wish it dis
tincty understood that my claims will be before
the country.

COZ. Jones' Opinion Of Gen. TayIors Prineipes.

Gov. James C. Jones, the champion Of whig-
gerry in Tennessee, delivered speech in Nash
vile, on the Sth of pril last when he took bold
stand against Tayor's no-party principles; and
as large number of enthusiastic wings who " go
for princple,'' abound in our goodly city. we will
give them couple Of extracts from this speech.
Gen. Jones said of Gen Taylor Has he COM
mitted himself to the distinctive doctrines of the
party ? Never so far as | have seen but on the
contrary, says distinctly, that he wiH not be con-
sidered TIE exponent Of The principles Of any paTiy
If he refuses to suffer himself to be considered the
exponent of the principles of the whig party, is
it not great stretch of authority, for any ono to
assume it for him He declares, in all his letters,
that he is no pariy naan-acM not be the candidate
Of any party-ioW not be the erpOnent Of the prin-
ciple of any party--and, yet, are urged to take
him as a whg-good and true. | am willing in
matters of divine appointment, TO go by faith in
stead of sight but in things of human arrange
ment, and human opinion, think something more
tangible and visible is demanded. Gen. Taylor
has written many letters, in reply to those asking
his opinions and rendering him nomination for
the Presidency; in all of them he holds the same
or similar language. Now. would it not nave
been quite a. convenient-qute as proper and
quite as respectful to the country, for him at once
to have given declaration of his faith This
would have settled the whole matter and then
each man could have determined for himself, the
course proper for him to pursue this he has cho-
sen not to do and therefore his friends cannot
complain if doubts should be expressed Of his po-
Iitica orthodoxy"
" Whilst Gen. Taylor refuses to make 4 decla-
ration Of princip pIes-whilst he declares that he
will not be the exponent Of the principles Of any
party does he say that if elected President, he
will administer its duties according to the consti-
tuition is this enough Who ever entered on
the duties of that important station that did not do
SO with the same pledge? They all not only
! make the pledge, but who does know they are
required to take solemn oath to do this, before
they enter on its duties And yet how wide
ly have been the constructions of the constitution.
| suppose he means as Gen. Jackson did, that he
will administer the government according to the
constituencies he understands 1t. Mr. Polk pro-
missed to do this; and. yet, who does not see that
sacred instrument mutiIated in all its parts--made
subservent to the merest, if not the bases of par
! ty PURPOSES"
