recognises ITS affinity, rather its identity, with the policy
Of the wing party at the North and complains of II only
because II must make fatal nroad the northern vote
for the whig nominee
We have also forborne quote those passages of the
speech in which Mr. Webster damns with faint praise
the candidate of his party. The praise amounts to this
that General Taylor is modest that he is honest enough
TO make no great petensons that he does not care
say anything about his qualifications and finally,
that he has behaved very well since he was nominated
On this last point by the way, the independents of
Maryland, and the Fillmore wings OF Albany and that
vicinity, seem to hold different opinion.
But. after all, this praise of Mr. Webster makes but
small "ptdJorm" for any to mount from into the
presidency 1t is more than Offset by the counter-deca-
rations which have quoted above to the effect that
the nomination was "a nomination not fit to be made
was unwse pollcywas not suitable to the wing char
acter-was not reconcileabe with true wisdom-was
short-sighted and temporizng great question of
principle"
And all this paltriness and folly Mr. Webster calls up
on the great wing party to themselves for and toll
for, and spend money for and finally sanction by their
votes
Poetry has but little affinity with politics, yet, as Mr.
Webster has quoted Pope in his speech, we venture
to commend to his attention the following we'll known
linesbeng part OF that authors description of Addi-
son, under the of Atcus. In this speech for
Taylo Mr. Webster has, think, entitled himself
henceforth to be known as the Aicus of the Taylor
wings:
Should such man, too fond to rule alone,
Bear, like the Turk no brother near the throne;
VieW him Nth scorntA, yet cith jealous eyes,
And hate for arts that caused himself to rise.
Damn Nth faint praise, assent Nth civil leer
And, pithout snseriag. teach the rest to sneer :.

Just hint a fault, and hssitate dislike.
