Philadelphia Convention. 1t sowed the seeds
Of discord everywhere in the then anti-Tay-
lor Wing party and the fruit was reaped in
the nomination Of Zachary Taylor for Pres
ident This is no idle dream. II is SOL
emn, well-attested, and universally acknowl-
edged fact And this National Wing was,
and still is, the work Of two men, who
took counsel Of no other man in the land,
when they embarked in their desperate cru
SADIE against the then anti-Taylor Wing or
ganization ofthe country. They took coun-
sci Of their own judgment, and labored night
and day, not only without reaping the fruits
Of their industry in compensation for their
labors, but they reaped the whirlwind for the
wind they sowed, and though their labor
prevailed and has given the country a Pres
ident equal to Washington, the publisher
has debt OF thousands OF dollars over his
head, and the editor has earned a sacrifice
Of nearly three years Of his time and labor,
night and day, without so much as receiving
penny in return therefor. When we saw
and heard the strangers, therefore, rendering
to US the expression Of their sympathy, now
that we are victors, we could not refrain
| from returning our thanks thus publicly to
our fellow citizens and friends.
THE PRESIDENT OPPOSITE JACKSON HALL.
When the President arrived opposite jack
son Hall, the American, the French and the
English flags were thrown TO the breese by
the Committee Of Decorations Of the Ma
tiona Inauguration Ball, without distinction
Of party. At this moment, the spectators
at the windows Of the great ball room,
among whom were several ladies', saluted
the President with three cheers which he
promptly acknowledged Immediately the
crowd below took up the cheering in the
most enthusiastic manner. May the union
Of the three flags on this occasion, be the
sign Of eternal peace between the nations
Of which they are the emblems
