Every day seems TO develope some new aud
extraordinary phase OF TayIoFism-which may
be aplls described in The language OF The poet as

panon of General Taylor, is soon to start into
life, as the organ of "young Whiggery,' pre-
pared to fight the battle with more vigor and
energy. The proof is incontro7ertible, as set
forth by the New York Courier and Enquirer
journal which is looked up to with respect
BY the Wing party. That paper, while laugh
ing in its sleeve at the ridiculous position OF al
fairs, sof-soaps tho Intelligencer, and decks The
victim for sacrifice, as follows:
"a more respectable journal than the ln,eiii-

are quite sure that there are no gentlemen con,
