upon that alone in his speeches. II is,

is the hobby then upon which he has
mounted, hoping thai il will carry him
safely into the Gubernalorial Chair. Per-
haps il may. Perhaps again il may not;
that The people viii discern The purely
demagogical nature OF the trick, and not

Why does he not contend for a change
in that par, Of il which requires that a
Senator shall own three hundred acres OF

We do not believe that any great harm
would result to the State i'm case The pro-

they will have themselves to rejolce at it. The
administration OF Zachary Taylor is pledged promote
the prosperity Of the whole people. He will know no
party in administering his high office. Justice knows
party and The name of Zachary Taylor is synonyme
of Justice. The Democrats in office who have heen hon
est capable, and faithful, and have not meddled in po
cs or been made the party instruments to expel as good
better men from place will remain secure IN office
and such Democrats will stand equally eligible, in the
estimation of Taylor, for the appointments to be
made. There will be biGo,ry, intolerance, pros
crption during the Administration. The era Of
good feeling will be revived Strict attention to official
duty will be the Law enforced upon all Executive officers.
