the last paragraph: "Thou hast done no.

be: Thou hast done nobly''-all right
now, maybe!

We publish the above for its truth. and
az text, upon which we design making a
few remarks. There seems to be mighty
effort, made by the friends Of Gen. Tay-
lcr, to force him upon the Wing party as
their candidate, without a nomin alton
by Wing National Convention
1t is well known that the General has de-
clarcd that he Twill not be the candidate
of party''-hc confesses that, upon ma
ny of the great questions which have di-
vded the country into parties, for the last
fifteen or twenty years, he has not chad
time to examine thcm," and his mind is
not "made up" We believe it would be
waste Of time, and very foolish piece
Of diplomacy, in this diplomatic day and
generation, for Wing National Conven-

if that body shout for the Hero Of Buna

"PARTY" that desired him for candid

General Taylor's fame rests solely on his
military success, and we would not pluck
from his brow one laurel-he is brave-is

Wing papers say he is also a Wing. be-
cause he said .once upon a tme,' that he
was "a Wing and three-quarters overt"
and that Elf he had voted at the last Presi-
Dental election, he would have voted for
Mr.. Clay;" yet, notwithstanding these say
ings,' his positive declaration is, that he
wiU not be the candidate Of a party. We
like a man to come out plain; and, as a
Wing, we understand General Taylor to
say: 4 will not be supported by you as
the candidate of your party this is all
the meaning we can gather from tits
plain enough! "Should General Taylor
reccire the nomination Of Wing Nation
al Convention" it must be as "a Wing.
whole Wing. and nothing but Whig.'
We are not prepared and never shall be.
