of those in whose superior experience he conhdes We
venture say there no member of his cabinet who
does not perceive this truth
This want OF moral force is producing deep and
abiding impression upon the public mind We have not

MIR. Webster the force of these objections, and
expressed them with power which felt the time

His portrait of Mr. Clay. in the Madsonian of 1914.
must have sunk deep into that statesman's memory.
But the portrait of General Taylor though much briefcr in
itself, is no less striking What said Mr.. Webster in
his celebrated speech of the last year
"Gen. Taylor is a military man, and military man

''Thcre is no more firmly of opinion that such

If his nomination not fit to be made neither was
his election proper Who ought to wonder, then, at the
character of his administration
We speak freely because the times demand it. We
speak, without the slightest unknd feeling towards the
distinguished soldier, who, unfortunately for himself and
unfortunately for his country, is welding the i'm
mense patronage of the executive department The
slant abuse of the wing press shall not deter from dis
charging our duty. For fortyfve years we have been
