every exertion to cause divisions in oul

reelected by an increased majority, while
the wings and their allies have scarcely a
foot hold in the Council; in the House of

by our party, and the doom of the wings
was never more clearly sealed.
We congratulate our democratic friends
upon this result. The wings Of New

Washington, made the Mexican war their
great weapon ofassault upon the democ'

Gen. Tayl0E's Position,

Gen. Taylor's political opinions have
been eagerly sought for by the public, but
nothing definite has yet ben ELECTED. tho
he has written many letters, some of them
quite voluminous, purporting to be in an.
swer to the numberless interrogatories
Propounded to him in relation to the line
of public policy he would adopt in the
event of his being called by the people to
preside over the mOmentous and intricate
affairs Of the nation. He has certainly
written enough, 80 far as quantity is con.
Gerned, to have given US as full an exposi.
ton as could be desired. He. however,
seems TO have labored to realize the def
milton oflanguage as given by Talleyrand
that II was made "tO conceal ideas.
This Is unlike the demeanor OF the old
general on the battle field, and very diff
felent from what ID ose who have become
acquainted with him through his military
exploits would naturally expect from him.

line of policy he will pursue if elected
