Whig Victory!


GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR is elect
ed President of the United States, Tor four
| years from the 4th of March next. We con-
graduate our friends on so auspcious re-
suit, and on the certain prospect Of an hon.
est, wise and wholesome administration Of
the National Government, iorthe mex: Presi-
Dental term. The verdict OF the people a.
gainst the policy and principles OF Polk and
his advisers is emphatic and decisive. War,
Conquest, and Annexation, the favorite
measures of foreign policy with the present
Administration-ihe Tariff of '46 and Van
Buren's Sub-Treasury, the most character
istic features OF President Folks home poll
cy,-bave been brought 10 fair trial before
the country, aud have met SO signal con-
demnation that they will not soon again re-
gain an influence, we Irusr, in our national
councils.
Gen. Taylor is emphatcally the man OF
the people. II was from them that. he first
received his nominations! was their urgent
voice that'gave him the preference at Phila-
delphia, in spite of the opposition of profess
sional politicians. He knows nothing of po-
liticaI iutrigues-he will be drawn into none.
The legislation of the country will be left
entirely where the Constitution places i,--in
the hands ofCongress.
With decided majority in the House of
Representatives, which the President elect
brings in with him, and Senate nearly E.
qually diyided-w:lh that sterling Wing.
MILLARD FILLMORE, author Of the Tariff Of
40, in the Char-we calculate confidently
on the following results, from the present
triumph:
A repeal Of the ruinous Sub Treasury
originated by Martin Van Buren,, with an
utter ignorance of financial and commercial
affairs, and in defiance of the opinions of men
experienced in such matters emphatically
pronounced against the measure from the
beginning.
A repeal Of the Tariff of '46. which, while
il is no better for Revenue than the Tariff of
'42, affords about the same Protection 10
British Manufactures, as The latter did 10
those of our own country-prac,ically Civ
ing British labor decided preference in the
American market.
No more Annexation.
No more Wars Of Conquest, waged in the
heart Of an enemys country-and that enc
my weak and distracted Republic, OIL our
own borders.
No further extension Of Slavery, and no
further measures 10 secure lis perperuation.
We desire, here aud now, TO make this en-
preston oil confidence in Gen. Taylor on the
Slavery question, as emphatic as possible.
We have never desired TO deceive our rea-
ders as TO the views of our candidate on this
iopic-and we, in common with all Wings
at the North from whom his chief support
has hecn derved) will insist thai his implied
pledge in the Allison letter, 10 approve the
action of Congress on this matter,is fully and
in good faith carried out. 1t is impossible
for him 10 do otherwise Than fulfil these ex-
pectaiions.
We look for greater economy in the pub
lie expenditures-and an end 20 the corrupt
use of the Executive Patronage for purposes
Of partizan ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The new Administration will give effect TO
Wing mcasures-Protection to- Home La
Dor, the internal Improvements essential
to the success of our commerce, wise and
practicable disposition Of the currency, peace
with all nations, so far ascur countrys honor
will allow-aLd above all, an honest effort on
the art of our rulers to promote the happi-
ness and prosperity Of the whole country, in
opposition to schemes of sectional and parti-
IAN interest

your duty-who have remained true to your
party and to your men through all opposition,
and through all dscouragements-we again
