.,d,,,.ns upon which Taylor Democrats may have
OmcS,


The Philadelphia News in a recent number, under the
hsd Of Government Patronage sets forth the princi
Las unon which appointments are to be made under the
.snt administration, and the terms and conditions upon
hcb the Taylor democrats" to be admitted 10
,,cipaton in the spos In remarking upon the dslri-
hn,ioo of patronage, the News says:
..ye could neither urge oppose the appointment o
hs 10 office the entire exclusion OF all others, who
hnu,b not wings have contributed their might towards
hs election of General Taylor We are in favor OF just
and eoutnbe distribution OF the patronage at the disposal
r ,be Administration. This, persuaded Is the
ooa, and safe 10 be pursued. Each and every
,ion or integral part OF the great party which brought
he admin s,raon into power must be taken care Of Any
s course will inevitably create heart burnings and mis-
hf and must eventually prove disastrous 10 the admin
israton,"
Such are the principles laid down for the distribution
If Office generally. But, here the conditions pre-
scribed to the Taylor democrats
Pnt while we would urge this policy believing it
J., e only safe for the administration pursue
Al not wish 10 be under sood lending sanction
aoy policy which rood taror the selection Of ,cho ci
ao in the Of their appo"tmsnt unite and ooperat
vh the great hig party Of the ecm"try General Tayicl
ia whig We have his repeated declarations that he
ia whig and all know that he was elected such
us whig administrations, and il should bestoW ap
,oatpen upon pho not ,ch'g in fsing and sen

Thus are the Taylor democrats told, in many
words that they must not only ahure the name OF democ
cv but they must become renegades TO their principles
before they can be considered duly qualified for share
Of the spoils in the gift of the present administration
Cen TAYLOR is wing, and his is wing administration
saws the News and those who would enjoy the emolu-
men,s of office under him must be wing themselves, not
only in name, but in principle Not even being "Tay
Tor republican, will do They must go the entire animal
if thew would have place at the public crib Their
services in eevang Gen. Taylor to the presidency to
90 for nothing unless they will not only change their
name but also their principles. To such degrading
condition would the wing party reduce those democrats
who advocated the election of Gen. Taylor The propo
compliance with would be disgraceful the part CT
those to whom it is addressed
We invite our brethren, who deuded into the
support of General Taylor in the hope that he would
honestly carry out his pledges again back to the demo
cratic ranks We offer them brides, nor would we
impose upon them degrading conditions We will moi
treat them like cattle TO be bought in the SHAMELESS But
we wfeceive them as men who have been grossly de-
ceived and treacherously betrayed, and will give
them place in the ranks of honest men, whose watch
words are truth and principle, and whose determined
purpose is to put down party that gained its power by
false petences, and has used thus far only show
with what unblushing nsoence it dares to violate its
most solemn pledges and break its faith with the Amer
can people.
