GEN. rAYroR.s NO PARTllsu-

The Montpelier Patriot. in allUsion to our state
ment that "Gen Tcylor is i wh0lesouled Wig
quo ties two or three sentences from TaylOr's let
tiers, wherein he SAYS tia; if he ever nils tat
high office it must he untrammeled with part
obligations" &C. We suppose the Patriot wish
es it to be inferred that no whole-sou'cd Wing
would make such avowals. No Loco Foco would
ever have done so, we are free to admit The
grand aim and scope of every Loco Foco admin
stration has been to build up strengthen, and
fortify its own party-rcckless Of what the q,ns-
raj Interests of the country demand. On the con
trary, many of the truest and most esteemed
Wings have again and again stated, in substance,
what our Loco Foco friends adducc as going TO
show that Gen. TAYLOR is not a good Wing If.
however, the Patriot can persuade its readers that
Gen. Taylor is not l Wing We arc not particular
ly anxious to hinder them from giving their votes

We subjoiD she following from many We might
give )of expressions similar 10 those of Gen Tay-
lor, from distinguished Wings, the soundness Of
whose principles, we presume, WAS never doubted
"Ifelected to the Presidency shall never sur-
fer the influence of my Office to be used forpr-
poses ot'd purely party character"

''If desire the success, as most anxiously
do, OF the Wing candidate now in nomination
for the Presidency, IL IS because he rould d,
President Of HE ,rhoie people; that his admin

hensive.'

Ofthe soundness of Gen. Taylor's creed,
there is positive testimony, sufficient to satisfy
anybody who wishes to be satisfied. We have.
at present, only room for the following quota
