SNETHEN'S ADDRESS IN SLICES.
As we have moi room (.ays the Baltimore Ar
eus) 10 publish the whole Of this remarkabl" ad
dress Of the editor OF the Nalona Wing, We will
do il up in slices:
"Immedialely after the news OF the battles oil
Pao Alto and Resaca lie la Palma reached
w ashinston, determined TO re-enler the polrl-
cal field, from which had retired TWO years
before, in order to advocate the selection by me

Presidency. IlappeaIed 10 me that the war, Wnich
had beer clearly nrust upon The country oy 'he
for its own political advance
ment, would prove be The instrument OF It's
downfall, by raising up The only man VINO c'n'a
lead The opposirion into power. The idea that
God, hand was in this whole thing took posses
sion Of my mind, and looking lar into The iuturr,
/ could see no other hope Tor The ascendancy OF
Wing principles in the government, except IN he
person Of Zachary Taylof."- MT. HA,g.

What disin,eresled love. Surely il deserves

blish another organ at the Capital, when there
is one there already which has doEe so much,
and all for nothing. This IS base ingra,itude
