The Wing papers evidently feel the want OF
platform of principles to place General ayioi
upon, and in the scraps they collect, as giving IN
formation upon the subject, they show Wha' 'ney
dare not openly express-lhat the Generals posi-
ton in this respect is not satisfactory one oeioie
| the country.
The Wing of Monday furnishes the iniorma-
ton from Albert S. White, Esq, OF Indiana, that
General Taylor is "a Wing, good and true
and in the same paper ii gives an extract from a
private letter, which says "He, General Tay-
lor) has always been decided Wing"
Now we understand ia Wing, good and true"
and ia decided Whig," 10 mean real 'Simon
Pure" in advocating an United States Bank and
High Protective Tariff and The distribution OF
the sales OF the Public Lands amongst the States;
and last, though first, sezing the spoils OF office
and opposing the war. Ii General Taylor does
not advocate these measures, in what consists his
being "a Wing, good and uuc7"
The General does not say that he favors any OF
those measures-and, SO Tar from il, he coniesses
that he has formed no opinions about them-and
ye! his Wing party friends swear that ne is "a
decided Whig"-and in the same breath his no
party Wing supporters say, no one doubts his
being "Henry Clay Wing"
We think il due TO that candor OF character,
which is said 10 be striking trait with General
TAYLOR, that he should not keep his friends
"wh;siug in The woods" 10 keep up their courage
or confidence as 10 what sort OF Wing principles
he stands master ior-lhe steady Henry Clay
Wing principles, or the sliding scale which the
Republican is just now bringing forward
Perhaps party subserviency will moi allow the
parry followers and The "no-parly" followers OF
Gen. Taylor 10 ask him what cardinal measures
OF Government he will support II elected TO The
Presidency That they are anxious 10 know,
their industry in hunting up the individual opin-
ion of every one who has seen Gen. Taylor, or
who has plucked hair from sold WhiteYs" laih
but 100 clearly shows.
The General has said that he would not be the
candidate OF party, and al this time The Wings
contemplate running him as party candidate in
violation Of his formal and solemn protest against
his being a party candidate. II they will run
him as party candidate, and he accepts what
he said he would not receive-a party no.
minaion-surcly they might kick out olhe trace,
OF the one-man will and call upon him 10 save
any further trouble about what private letters say
OF his Whgeery and what Wings who have been
United States Senators say about his being "a
Wing good and true" The wan, OF manliness
in the leading Wings, in thus trucking 10 The self
will OF any living man, deserves 10 be character
lied by harsher language than we care 10 use'
unless We desired TO initiate the Wing in its ar
licle headed democratic ReveIses."
