ments of Taylor whig editors concerning their present candidate. They look ex- ceedly well on paper, and we think that the Old General will remember them.
 The Boston Courier lately compliment ed him as follows:
 I've do believe thai General Taylor is 'one of those human butchers who follow the trade of war from brutal love for its settlements; ; or, what is worse, from e lore for the money achich he gets for his seruices-the price of human blood. So far from knowing that is not his charac- ter, we have never heard anything of him that could, in the least degree, weaken this impression"
 How cooly, too, the Courier adds:
 ''Has Gen. Taylor done anything de- serring of Manks7 He has fought well. He has exposed his person. But in what cause ? M an unjust and inhuman war. Through him injustice has triumphed.- Can we thank the authors of this war ?- Clearly not. Can we thank any of their servants It is difficult to see how the servants can be Manked when the princi- pal is condemned"
 The whig Convention of Warren coun- ty, Ohio, have passed resolution, of which the following is portion:
 "And if any one who has aided in a military capacity in this war should most unfortunately be nominated by the coming State or National Convention, for Govern or, President or Vice President, ue hold ourselues absolped from all obligations to support such nominees; and we recom- mend to the friends of peace and of na- tional honor and justice every where, to take this stand, and thus save the State and country from the curse ot military ambition" .=If- .
 The Trenton (New Jersey) News, asks
 "What other claims has Gene ral Fay Joy upon his country, save those growing out of this mwderous, thieUing acar?"
 The Zenia (0hio) Torchlight quer- ies-l, -a a8 aE fau 8 e5f "What is there about Gen. Taylor that should induce the people of the U. States to prefer him to any and every other man in the countryl They know him 10 be q most adroit skuU-6reakcr, thvoat-cuitey, house-breaher, and poman and child.slay- CT" 8rc, %e. 3'c. fl5es.
 A writer for the Boston Whig thus dis. poses of his unlucly party:
 "We have lost one mighty political vic tory by treason; SIMPLICITY has now its turn to work on us. The two-laced cap tain fooled us; now we will see what the NO-FACED GENERAL can do."
 The Washington National Whig, allu. ding to the authority of the "Signal Let ter" characterizes General Taylor as--
 "A miserable, mean, lying fellow, who would steal your purse, or stab you in the back" &c., .
 MT. Giddings, a distinguished whig member of Congress, said:
 Those whigs who have got up this movement in favor of Gen. Taylor, know- ing him to be in favor of extending sla- very, are men of desperate political for tuiCS, WuO udSC DtCOiIc duAiOuS u sudTc in the spells of officc-they are men rho irould sell hier party, their country, and their God, for an ephemeral success; or to enable HIemto bask in the sunshine of Er- ec,aiue .faror.
 The New Hampshire Independent De- mocrat (whig) thus denounces him:
 "He (Taylor) raises slaves for the mar ket, and makes merchandise of his fellow men. He has one hundred mothers, with or without babies, for sale in the sham bles. He fmalishes Creole Virgins for the HELLSaf Ne~ Orleans"
 The above remarks and opinions, it will be recollected. were made some eight months ago, while Gen. Taylor was fight ing the Mexicaps, but now, what a strange spirit comes oyer their dream. General Taylor is their champion for the Presi- dancr.
