"COURTING THEIR FRIENDS. ."

"The last "Gaztte," of this place, .pub
fishes the opinions Of several TORY pa
pers in great britain, praising the Inau.
gural Address yof Gen. Taylor, This in a
man processing tc be republican, is
somewhat like profcssed Christian
boasting that the Devil and his Angels
had a good opinion of him. The Tories
of Great Britain hlte this country with a
neveMying hatred, Ind VIXEN they praise
a public man Or af> Administration, It
shows that he is corrupt or anti-republi-
can, or both. They never praise any
thing that has tendenc. to promote the
happiness and welfare ofthe people"
Unlucky article that, 6r our neighbor.
Now, it so happens, that the only things
in Gen. Taylor's inaugural which these
"tory papers" praised we're, the manly,
straight forward candor that pervaded it,
and the expression of desire to culti-
vate friendly relations with all foreign
powers, so far as that could be done hon
orably. Ofcourse n, man of any coun>
try, in his sober seuss, wonld condemn
such sentiments. Dos the editor of the
Jacksonian? Those tory papers" only
aliude to one measure of domestic policy
recommended by Gen Taylor, and that is
suitable protection to home industry, and
this they condemn most positively, and
praise its opposite, which is the democ,at-
&c doct'7nc. The Jacksonian says: "Thcy
never praise anything that has tcndcn-
cy to promote the happiness and welfare
oil the people" Ergo, according TO the
Jacksonian's logic, the wing doctrine on
the subject of the tariff is the ono for the
people, and will promote their happiness,
while the democratic doctrine will have
an exactly contrary effect.
