General Taylor and tho Barnburners, and the old
Wings.


The following articles, which we copy respectively
from the Albany Argus and the Pennsylvania, show
both how the barnburnng opposition to General Cass is
disposed to look upon General Taylor whom they have
succeeded in eectng, and how the peculiar friends of
General Taylor beginning to look upon the chosen
leaders of the old wing dynasty We observe that the
PENNSYLVANIA oms in its extract from the Mirror, that
journals indignant quotation of Mr.. Clay's remark in
private letter. that the nomination of General Taylor was
ga degradation" to this nation. We by no means affirm
that Mr.. Clay has made any such remark. 1t is quite
enough that the Taylor men charge him with having
done So That Mr.. Webster said the nomination ga
nomination not fit to be made" is ndispuable. These
things look i'll for the ''all harmony" party.
A CURIOUS ArrIrupE.-The New York Globe, leading
free soil" barnburner paper, has the following COM
ments the results of the election:
"We shall have much say about this to not
expected result, in day or two The democratic party
will have together There is no hope for victory
when divided. Many free-soH men have undoubt-
eddy voted for Taylor To all these we yon have done
wrong The election of Taylor certain. and it is equally
certain that his election is national disgrace Taylor II
wholly inca pacitated for the office to which he is elected
His administration will be an abortion We have no doubt
No other party control the desnies of this great ma
in favor of the Wmot Prov:o His supporters will find
they in Taylor is pro,savery man would
have been an easy matter to have elected Oas II the party
defeat"
We do agree in the remark that the election of Gen
Taylor is ga national disgrace 1t is only by the acts OF
Executive, administration, that the nation be
disgraced but be that the people prefer
another, through the peaceful and constitutional
process of the ballobox But If be- where do the Stree
soil' stand who, the Globe admits voted for Gen.
Taylor The brave old man has never avowed single
feeso (parsan) sentiment, and cannot entertain
for moment They voted for him not only as the wing
candidate but the anti-freeso candidate. IT. there
ore Cass the democratic national nominee, could have
been elected with united efforts how great the responsible
of those who insisted upon and produced divisions and
who thus consummated result which they affect now to
de Plore as ga national disgrace '"--Aibamy Argus
GEN TAYLOR KNOWS FRIEsDs.-Some of the federal
oce-seekes about these parts, will rejoice two
persons kicked of their road in the following fashion
by the ~ Y Mirror "We have already heard Clay and
Webster named candidates for the cabinet But.
thank God, Gen. Taylor knows his friends and what is
still better he foges his wounded. He knows the
difference between the who have suffered in his
canse and the political hypocrites who have made both
his cause and his friends suffer by their Bruus sabs

The New Orleans Bulletin of the Sd instant charges

The New Orleans Bulletin of the Sd instant charges
the Paterson letter to be forgery. 1t says
1t appears that young lawyer of Baltimore had adj
dressed letter General Taylor putting impairment

81 beg to inform you that have uniformly declined
Welding to similar requests the belief that my opinions
even il were President of the United States would be
that for departing in the present instance,
from that course"
The letter was sent to the Union with the following
picious instruction .af
lish it, NTH the exceptions Of name, to whom 1t is adj
dressed"
And it was published with the omission of the two words
in italics, 'to yow."
The Bulletin should have stated that the person who
communicated the letter to us, authorized give up
his name in case its authenticity was ever disputed.
FRIEND into whose hands put the letter, reported
u.s. previously publication, that the body in the
handwriting of Major Garrett, Of the accomplished
members of the Generals household, with whose hand
writing he had compared it. The envelope, which was
also transmitted to at the tme had the postmark
of Baton Rouge" upon it, and it was addressed to the
same person and the same handwriting with the in
side of the letter.
We have now forwarded the letter and envelope to the
editor of the Bulletin, with request that they may be
submitted to Gen. Tayos Inspection in case the contra
dction before us has not been authorized by him.
1t would be of great regret with us, the let
ter should turn out to be forgery; though it is curious
that several of the wing editors not only republshed the
letter and justified its contents fully coincdng in spirit
with the spirit of the Allison letter. but even expressed
wish that we would give them more of such letters
from Gen. Taylor.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 1, 1s4s.
Senator Foote, OF Mississippi, delivered two of the
most eloquent addresses listened to in this city,
last Monday and Tuesday nights He has aroused the
democrats to the highest pitch Of enthusiasm Il have
heard all the great popular orators of this nation and
Gen Fooe is surpassed by none of them He has done
great and ncacuabe service here; and if we carry
the State, will have contributed more to that re-
suit than he has The great battlefield is this cy and
the wings do not carry by large majority, their de-
feat in the State is inevitable Gen. Foote'S speeches
have in tatters their miserable sophistres, and laid
bare the character of their aboltionst candidate, Fill
more The wings are cursing him. and denouncing him
at every corner as an ncendary' while the democrats
dction. Fa
He will long be gratefully remembered by the democ-
racy of this city, and their desire is that he may
be properly appreciated throughout the Union.
The democrats all sanguins of carrying this
exertons and prouse expenditure of money by the
wings but we are thoroughly aroused and organized
You will know the result by telegraph before this reaches
you, which will confirm my prediction Of glorious tr
