Gen. Tayior-Tbe Katihers-and their Wall
street Organ.
II there are any who still doubt that the jour
naizng champions Of Tsylorism in this City are
really more intent on advancing their own meaniy
selfish ends than promoting the election OF Gen
Taylor-to say nothing Of the unity Of the Wing
party aud the triumph Of It's principles-we be

Not one word Of truth here. We expressed no

We believe il the managers bad taken this course,
and seasonably announced their intention, there
would have been no tumut. undue excitement,

would have been kicked ont in short ofder,) and
the result would have been real and effective
ratification, by the votes Of Clay Wings who
would have concluded that no practical course re-
manned to them but to support Gen. Taylor But
the thing was managed differently, and with
different result.
The Courier now argues that Gen. Taylor viii

Slavery in the Territories 10 the untrammelcd de
cision Of Congress, and that this Is the proper
course. Very well we hope this is so, and let it
be settled that it IT, and very great obstacle with
thousands TO the support Of Gen. Taylor will be re
moved. But then they will want to feel sure also
that tue Wing party of Newly ork will not surren

hostility 10 the Extension Of Slavery on the altar
Of Taylorism. This assurance can be given-nay,
it must be- or there will be a revolt explosion.
We threaten nothing, say nothing for our ownpart,
but ply state what do know ofthe public senti-
rnent Of this State and generally OF the Free States
In this conviction we deplore the alleged passage
OF the Doughiace Resolution at the Canalstreet
meeting. We know il does not express the senti
meat of the Wings of this City-iarless that OF the
State. 1t amounts to nothing as an indication
Of Wing sentiment, but it will be used to distract
and paralyze the party. 1t mus, be repudsted

Slavery.
The Courier will not understand the matter. 1t

as they respond to the popular convictions. For
instance, it says

how all our convictions. feelings, memories, hopes

assurance that we are far more likely to misiudge

Need we say again that we mean to act and vote

ever before done, and that we are only anxious
