GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRESI-
DENCY.

this high Office, there seems TO be mucl
specuiation as to what course Of policy HI
will pursue but as to what that policy vii
be, few seem entirely to agree. His cleo
tion is claimed by some as a wing victory
but certainly no one will pretend to say
that it affords any evidence Of the popular.
lily Of wing measures, when those measures
were scarcely mentioned in the canvass
Taylor himself will not so deem it, for he
must know, that his name would nevei
have been mentioned in come xion with the
ofice e, but for his brilliant military achieve
ments. Ills election can be- looked upon III
no other light, than as a manifestation oil
the National gratitude, by people proven
bal for their admiration of military heroes.
Palo Alto, R"saca dc Ia Palma, tho bloody
heights OF Monterey and the glorious field
of Bucna Vista, were tire only potent argu'
ments used in his favor. How then, can
his election be claimed as a wing victory?
especially when he fails, BY more than a
hundred and Fifty thousand, of having re-
ceived a majority Of all the votes cast for
President? Pledged 10 20 party principles,
he was elected by a mere plurality Of the
popular vote, over two candidates, each Of
whom has heretofore stood high in the IA
vor of the Democratic party. If he had
boldly stepped on to the old Wing platform,
and declared himself the advocate of ANA
tional Bank and a Protective Tariff, the is
sue might have been altogether Different
As tits, no one can, with any sort Of fair
ness say, that the people have decided in
favor of either Of those measures, for Cen
eral Taylor said distinctly, that he had not
formed his opinion in regard to either. II
he should now venture on any distinctive
policy of his own, it can hardly be presum-
ed that he would favor either a Bank or
Protective Tariff, since the prejudices Of
the Republicans towards them, have not a.
bated in the least, and many of the wings
affect to treat them as obsolete ideas. Such
a course would array against him, not the
Democratic party, but also the original
Taylor party, proper, including many South
|ern wings. In the event We should expect
to find the late whig candidate for Con-
gress in this district, opposing him, if he
has any regard whatever for his political
consistency. But for ourselves, we have
no idea that Tayior's influence, if exerted
at all, will be in favor of either q Bank or a
Tariff: He processes to have been origin
ally an admirer of Jeferson's policy. All
his notions recently, seem to be eminently
Conservative. W. predict that he will
never have either q Bank, a Protective
Tariff or the Wilmot Proviso. The time
for the test is near at hand. Nous Uer-
