Gen ZACHARY TAYLOR;andwe send
it To the mast head with a shout. BY
remarkable unanimly of sentiment on
the part of the Convention, he received
the nomination upon the fourth ballot,
ami is now presented to othe people Of the
United States, as one in every way wor-
Iihy of their snffrages for the high nfice To
which he has been named. We give the
nominalon our most unqualified and
hearty concurrence, as we believe the
whole nation will do in November next.
There is feeling abroad III the coun-
Try, which has been at work ever since
the guns of that stirring battle of Bnena
Vista Numbered upon our ears, which has
heem steadily urging the American peo.
pie to render unto this distinguished man
those honors which he 81 richly deserves
for his unparalleled courage on that
eventfnl day. When the tide of battle
was hard against him, he stood unmoved,
and received with courage unequalled
in the annals of military warfare, that al
most overpowering shock the fire which
made his very bravest soldiers trembe;
but, in the face of which he finally bore
our gallant flag VIGOROUSLY through.
We, as people. have NOT. in time past,
been in the habit of overlooking such
signal instance Of patriotic bravery as
this in our Generals, and we do not be.
leve it will be done for the first time in
the case of Gen. Taylor. 1t is not the
Wing party alone who are anxious to rem
der him this tribute of honor; but the de.
sire manifesily exists in the heart ofeve.
ry generous. hearted l.ocofpco, and this
class of the opposition will be glad to aid
all they can in his election. The regu
lar slragh-drilled. out.and.out office
seekers of this spoils.loving party, will
stick closely to their own candidate, and
with him, they will either conquer or die;
but a large proportion of their number
will give in their allegiance at once to the
gallant leader who has been appointed
over our own ranks. Many of them have
sons and friends in the army some of
whom have been with him under The enc.
my's guns. and know his coolnesS and
lranscendant bravery; and for their sakes,
ifnot on their solicitation, they will give
him their earnest and ardent support
Right heartily, then do we accept this
nomination, and send it forth 10 the
Wings of our State, as one that will not
fail to meet their hearty commendalion.
The name of Taylor has already become
a household word throughout the land.
and we shall fnd his warm supporters
rushing forth from every log.cabn in the
cnunlry--nor will the bitter leaders of
the opposing party dare tn ask Of them.
