The Die Cast!


From the tone of the federal PRESS ~ we'll as from
what hear in the streets, it is becoming more and
more evident that the work of prescription destined to
take an onward march. The recent elections in Con-
neccut and Virginia. so far from teaching the admins
traton wisdom, are about TO verify the axiom, "Whom
the gods intend destroy they first deprive OF reason
The effort which is being made to force General Taylor
TO violate his solemn assurances, and the unmstakabe
inuendoes put forth, that unless the President feeds the
hungry wing cormorants they will abandon him to his
fate give no very favorable augury that prescription

the New York "Courer"-and another from the Phila-
delphia "Sun; which copy below. 1t should always
be borne in mind that the editor of the Courier is Of
the most conspicuous "spos seekers" and who
knows his character will be at loss to understand the
patriotism which urges his advocacy of the policy OF
prescription. 1t has always been lis creed that 'the
laborer is worthy of his hire"
From the New York Courier & Enquirer.
Another alleged of this untoward result is the

Look at Virginia. Why should the last falls supporters
OF General Taylor have worked this spring for Taylor
bes Congress Because locoIoco naval agent was
pointed at Norfolk Certainly not! Because a ocoloco
pos,maste retained at Richmond1 Hardly good
enough Ba cause generally the opponents OF Gen.
Taylor have been allowed to retain every Office in the
State Who believes such folly We believe firmly that
if justicesimple justicehad been done by Gen Tayors
friends in Connecticut and Virginia, we should have had
four from the orner and at least nine from
the latter. Now, under the milk nd-water policy,
have perhaps two. [Ony one, sir, in all probability
