 We yish the whis woaid bs honest spoagh to como out belaly and &y to ths world we have been proscribsd for twsni, years. and successful was thsi lise of policy il the Aands of opponents, that we will ia ops urn play the same game. To be ssrs, Gen. TsylG made some absurd promises before the election asoat making distinction as to party. but the democrats said il all gansaoa, and So il was. We lave the power, and the whigs saali have the benefit Of it. Such declaration ss this might honestly le made and however humilis- ting the position ia which IL might place Gen. Tay Tor. 1t would create respect by it's eandor and regard for the truth But they shrink from the name of proscriptiomst, and cover under appel laten which they soweli deserve. and to which, in times gone by, they gave significance SO OdiOas. ben a demeera, is ,emOved from office now, who has performed hts drty 90 as to command the app Piause Of men ofai Iartes, 10 make way fer whig, distinguished alone br his whigery. this is net pro- scriptioa; the Naii,aa Intstigeneer designates Il by the more re6aed ,hraza, rcfrsss of ssTOags' What would in democrat b.

Bnt it is not in iiie way o complaint that aiiude to these hnss on Inc eou.rary, are well pleased 10 see ,he gGiiio'ins working gIibly, and we hope it may eoBiaHe un; not democrat is left office, We Will then haze tbe entire administration of the government in the hands of the whigs, and will be ahr at the end of four years to compare this with The gleriers term jus; passed, and the people will see ha~ mach they have gained by taking a no-pariy President. Let there be no democrat let upon whomto charge the sins of whig officers, bu, place affairs in such condition that the test may be fairy male. We will abide the result with calm confidence that there will not be another whis ad- mipistrasiou for twenty years No, we do no, con- plain that denocra.s arc removed from office, but we wish whea they turn out good men 10 remind our opponents thA. it is done at The sacrifice of honesty, truth, and good faith. Daring the cam paign the wsdg press, from Maine To Georgia, in- d guanily reiudated the sentiment charged upon the demoernt,, ha,to the vctoss belong the spells. Gen. Taylor in his New Orleans speech said he knew dilitreucs between whig and democrat, so fas appointnen; to osice was concerned; that he wculi be the President ot the people and would not aec,p, the office for The purpose of carrying out party schemes, and much more which was intended To lea- the impression that all party feeling would be done away within his administration. How fsr these prueipIs have been carried out. appears in the columns fl removals which appear every week ia the orgsn,t Washington.
