As soon as Il was ascertaned that General Taylor
elected in November last the National Iatskgeneer

We advise the National Wing to conduct its organshp

its abuse rather to excess For ourselves, we regard
not the scurrily of either of its correspondents WIS.,
eonsn Diogenes, who. after ALL as the Boston Post
wagishly says, prove nothing but that they black
guards. The excess of its zeal and devotion cannot
altogether compensate for it's of discretion and
decency; and il cannot be long before the cabinet will
determine not to recognise any journal "oficia"
which they will be ashamed to introduce into their
own houses
