Icalch Virginia, bpt Who failed IN that, and
only cauRht his own unsc,upulous friends Id
the net they had set for the people. Change
now promises nothing Now, with The en-
ample Of wbig failure and democratic sue
cess in matters Of administration with no
pressure there cannot be similar result Of
trust, in tho whig party. W,s
1910 had It's madness. The people made
feveIish by the fiery onse,s Of the great
bank leaders--by The panics and CONNER
cial irregularities, and the instabibiiies ofths
time, weie incapable Of that sober thought
which is their usual characteristic. Az
such time, the indignant and welf
managed shout raised about an obscure let.
Ter writer's sneer at Gen. Harrisun,s compar-
alive poverty, was well calc llaied to set the:
people in ferment Gen. Harrison was
identified with the poor Of the nation. Log
cabins paraded the streets, and the wealthy
and arisiocratic wbigs "siool clio conquer"
by the appearance Of sympathy with the hum
BILE fortunes and the simple habits Of the pi-
opeels Of the west. But this soon endeds
and no such gross deception can, during ,his
generation, at least, again be played on pop
,ilar creduliiy. The mask SO shortly wosu
was as shortly thrown off; the promises SO
profascly and; bounteously made a6zzled''
down 10 the mos, miserable ful6lm' n This
|disgraceful orgy, over the people reco.lected
only the nausea it produced, and the wings
were fain to obIiterate the recollection by
return to principle and to Henry Clay. The
effort was made and failed, and again mill
tary chiefiain, without avowed principle, is
taken up, with the hopes Of a like result.
But the men and their claims differ. Roll
ing in wealth, amassed by forty yeaas Of un-
interrupted ofice-holding, Gen. Taylor has
no claim to1the sympathy of the great body
Of the laborers Of the Union. An Aristo-
Graf, when not employed as the despot Of
the camp, he moves the controller ofhis $50
slaves, the barierer IN Afican sinews and
blood---the tiafficker in humanity. Alamo
ment when every pulse ofthe national heart
is beating with the sentiments OF liberty,
and when one indignant shout is raised
against slavery propogandism, be is brought
forward and saddled by the whig leaders up
on the party, thousands upon thousands Of
whom detest him for his warrior-vic,ories,
and still more that he is one Of the greatest
slaye-owners in America. No i64o enihu-
siasm can be got up for him. The people
cannot be deceived into the belief that he
has civil fitness, for he tells them his sword
is biz only recommendation. He seorns the !
poor preience made by his predecessor in .
1910, Of capacity for duty. As he is, he
insists upon being accepted. He is viii
ling to be taken as a gift, but win moi per-
NIT that the masses shall look the gfi-horse (,
in the mouth."
Gen. Taylor has received yssnd still re-
ceiyes from the Democrats foli praise for his
military genius. He owes his elevation and
The due appreciation Of his fame to the dem
ocratic party. No cry Of persecution. can,
rise on bis behalf, no sympathy can be woke
for him. As tbe champion of servitude he
has entered the contest, and we feel conf
dent that he must retire rebuked by the great
body Of American freemen. h,a s6l5ae
