The Nomination Of Taylor

The Nomination Of Taylor
Appears quite as unsatisfactory to some of the
Wings, as was that of Cass to the WiImot
Proviso Democrats. At Cincinnati, Ravan-
ma, Cleveland and elsewhere, the reception
Of the intelligence was the signal for PrOteS-
ta!ion instead of Ratification meetings. The
gathering of the clouds in the political hea-
vens, the muttering of the distant thunder
with now and then a nearer peal, the light
ning's flash, and the falling drops Of rain
betoken the coming of a storm that we trust
will refresh the earth and purify the atmos-
phere.
The Wilmot Proyiso Democrats of New
York take the lead in opposition to the Bal
tinore ticket, and we are much mistaken il
the anti-slavery Wings of Ohio are not as
active as any, if not more so, in opposing the
Philadelphia nomination. We last week
gave a few extracts from the Democratic
press Us. Cass, and we this week present a
few FROM the Wing press rs. Taylor; and
we may say of both, there are more of the
same sort.
The editor of the 'Xenia Torch Light"
thus announces the close of his conEection
with that paper.
To the readers of the paper no explanation
Of this sudden determination is necessary
Every one understands that he, (the editor,)
cannot support the recent nomination of Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency, and he does not
choose to occupy the position Of a Wing e.
ditor, contendlng against the nomination OF
the party with which he processes to act.
The Lafayette (In.) Journal declares,
1.-THE nomination Of Gen. Taylor is a dis
grace to the Convention, and an insult 10 the
intelligence and virtue Of the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Fillmore, is a good man, and would
have been a thousand times better selected
for President than Gen. Taylor.

The True Democrat" which by the way,
is becoming more and more worthy of the
name it bears, thus notices the nomination.
Gas we anticipated, the Wings have no.

more of New York, is put on the ticket for
Vice President. And this is the Cup offer

its sight. We will neither ''tOuch, or taste,

backsliden, fallen Wing party-"GET BE-
HIND US, SATAN" Thou savorest not Of the
things than be of Liberty, but of 'SPOlLS.''
The "Massilon Telegraph" expresses it.
self very cautiously and referring to the
subject says,
If, therefore, our representatives have sa-
criiiced a principle for the sake Of c~oncllia-
ting the South, if they have abandoned the
principles of the Wilmot Proviso, or ordi-
nance Of 'S7, if they have relinquished the
doctrine that Congress has a right. and it is
their duty too, to improve our rivers and har'
bors, then we say we do not, we cannot, as
consistent and true Wings, give our adhe.
renee to their proceedings, but shall hold that
, the Wings, as a party, have no nominee ioI
the Office of President.
Now we should think that in relation tc
