"Gen. Taylor Never Surrenders"

The Wing Central Committee Of Old Wayne,
take the earliest opportunity Of announcing to
the Wings of this county, the NOMINATION oi
Gen. TAY LOR, and MILLARD FILLMORE.
as the candidates for President and VICE fres.-
dent of the u. States The candidates of the
respective parties now in the heid lhe
Whig standard i. borne by one who for forty
years has served h is country with unscrupuious
fidelity-who received the first Breyet Commis-
sion eve: issued in the American army and who,
from humble life, unaiJed, save by his own ge-
MUS and perseverance, has won for himself a
name of world wide renown. Gen. Taylor has
planted the star. and stripes of his country on
many well-contested field, and, as he has new
/ er known defeat. in the Ides of November he
will triumphantly carry the whig banner to VIC
tory. This is a ..fred fact'' The attempted
elongation Of the Polk dynasty, in the person OF
Lewis Cass will fail. Good sense, sterling in
t-grity, SOUND Judgment, honesty Of purpose
Roman patriotism. great benevoience of heart
an accomplished writer, Of irreproachable mora
character, General W ithout fear and wthou
reproach, a W Use statesman. and a sound Wing
tho not an ulra Whig.--are the universally con
ceded qualities Of Gen. Taylor His persona
and military traits Of character closely resemble
those possessed by Cen Harrison.
The Wing Central Committee in view Of th'
coming contest, and that the Wing thunder o
Old Wayne may be heard in confirmation Of tbs
Nomination, would request the Wings Of th'
County to NEE in mass meeting at Centrevill'
