" The Springfield Republican says-'The
following remark of the lamented Gen. Harrison
is contained in letter addressed by him to the
Wing members of the N. Y. Legislature in $780,
and is worthy of special consideration at this
time, in reference to the various candidates for
the Presidency:
GA better guaranty for the correct conduct of
chief magistrate may be found in his character
and the course Of his former life, than in pledg-
es and opinions given during the tendency of a
doubtful contest"
We agree fully in this sentiment, when can
didate has had any sformer ife'' on political af.
fairs; but, when one is put forward, who never
even gave vote, whose knowledge is confined
to the camp and the plantation, and who was
never even heard of by the people ill within
about two years, how are we TO judge OF him
HARD Hit. The New Orleans Bulletin,
Taylor paper, gets mourntuIly merry over the
objections from Taylorism, and hits off the des.
erters in the following anecdote:
"The present position of the Taylor party, re.
minds US of story once heard OF farmer, who
one morning let his sheep out OF the pen, Hav.
ing put down the bars, the old man stood by to
count them as they hoped over, and began
"There goes one, - there goes two, - there
goes three, there goes old eve, - there goes
a black one. - there ones whole haaO
curse them, there they all go''
$50 it is with the Taylor party. At first we
could count the deserters-one, two, three but it
was soon ascertained that the bounds were brok-
en-that the bars were down, and the old ewes
and the black ones began hopping out very FAST
and followed SO rapidly by whole heaps and as
to bid defiance to any attempts to keep count and
soon poor Taylor will have to exclaim, Curse
them they haze all gone 20
