Cooling OF.

The editor Of the Louisville Journal, a
Taylor paper, after much "mature DELHI
Grafton and careful consideration" cools
off from his opposition to Wing National
Convention and from his advocacy of Gen.
Taylor's claims for the Presidency, in the
following strain. Verify the universal
wing party is in quandary for an "avail-
able" candidate, and the indications are
daily becoming stronger that the "Mill
Boy of the Slashes" is again to be put up
on the track, to try his hand at the novel
game of kissing his way to the Presiden-
tial chair. But TO the Journals conclud-
ing remarks; they are as follows:
"We were, some months ego, impress
sed with the confident belief that no ne
cessity would exist for such National
Convention. We then thought that the
gallant and heroic Taylor, by common con-
sent, and to great extent by the concur
renee of both parties, would be proclaim
ed the candidate for the next Presidency.
We have slowly and reluctantly arrived
at the conclusion, conclusion in which
we think we cannot be mistaken, of the
necessity of National Convention. The
enthusiastic manifestations in favor Of Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency, haze not per-
raded the Union as ue expected they ,rouid
40, and as they at one time seemed certain
