THIS is the position, N which Genera
Taylor has permitted himself to be
placed before the v,or,i. Aud now what
IS the result: lie has appealed e the
people, apI tie people haze spoken IN

Of Gen. Taylor was accomplished, and

pactics Of intellect which are absolutely
essential to a successful execution Of Tx
dIGes eff the great Office which he fills
and that his administration has proved t.
10 failure. The example Of Genera
Tayl,r and the fate OF his administrator

man, who aspire to exalted Official posi-
tom which they arc NOT qualified b,
education, habit, nor experience to I'll!
and who seek ID attain SUCH positions by
system Of false promises aud hollow
hearted pledges which they never inten(
to perform. Such men cannot fail t
have been convinced, as General Tay
,.r doubtless has, by the gents Of The
last lcw months, that the American poo
PIC are both intelligent and honest; tia
they know when they have been deeeiv
Cd and betrayed; and that they will no
hesitate to condemn and repudiate those
who dare 10 impose upon their conf
dence, however strong may have beel
their regard lorthem, and however CRATE
ill they may have been for honest ant
patriotic seD ices previously rendered.
