] have acted with these lovers Of "modera-
tom and despisers Of "demagoguism" since
1910, in all respects; nor have been place
man in this time with Judge Lane, claim
emphatically to be one Of them, and know
their power. Like him, have watched at
tentively the course Of affairs at Washington,
and now, through your columns, my dear sir,
would speak to them wherever they are, and
they are everywhere--on the Aroostook as
well as on the Rio Grande--I would say to
them that, as "no-party" candidate for
the presidency, and as the PRESIDENT
OF HIS COUNTRY, General TAYLOR
could not, consistently with his position, have
refused their proper share Of oficialpatron-
age to the Wing party. Twill go even fur
ther taan this, and make the declaration that,
after he shall have completed his list Of re-
movals and ppointments-s has been for
years the preponderating majority Of Demo-
Gratis, Locofocos, Barnburners, set id omne
genus" over Wings in official postion-th
there will not be produced more than an
equilibrium in this respect. Under these
circumstances, will they regard the clamor Of
the Union and its cold-blooded, unfounded,
and polite assertions, charging upon Cen
TAYLOR violation of his pledges-discard
their independence and without waiting for
the development Of the measures Of the adj
ministration, encase themselves in the iron
n anacles Of party, and move as obedient atl-
donations in the ranks Of progressive and
free Democracy I" The men with whom
General TAYLOR is acting in the govern
ment, acknowledge them to be like them
selves, firm friends of Justice and order, and
as much entitled as they are to friendship
and favor. They do not seek to "suck the
orange and throw the rind away" as did the
panderer to the appetite Of VAN BuRENrsM
who lately occupied the White House, and
who in all the duplicity and ferocity of a
Ground heado Of Cromwell's times, practis-
ed by him, mixing up prayers and murder,
was sustained, upheld, and approved Of by
that man who has been styled by his own
satellites of party, and for his known quail
ties as party tool, the "FATHER OF THE
FAITHFUL" 1.-THE VENERABLE ARoHBIsH-
op OF DEMocRAcY,"I mean the editor of
the Union. II would be strange indeed, if
such men as these, should acknowledge any
thing NOW coming from such source as
that. 1t would be strange if they should
abandon their proud motto-"country before
party"-and fly to a party like this. The
present editorial complexion Of the Union is
enough in itself TO drive them back firm in
their position. Is not Mr.. BURKE a "Free-
soler'" Is he not connected in his political
relations with Barnburnerism and Antagonists
tic to the institutions Of the South Is he
nat brought into the Union to catch birds Of
every feather, 10 make the Union complete,
to complete the union Of progressive and
free Democracy? viii not the words of
Mr.. RITcHIE fly Southerly, while those Of
Mr.. BURKE fly Northerly' When was
moderation" ever found proceeding from
the meeting Of EXTREMIST No! these men
have nothing to expect or hope for Of good
from this source-and they will stand by their
country All they ask of President TAYLOR
is to proceed fearlessly, boldly, and inde-
pendently on his career, asking no favors and
Sinking no responsibility, whether in the re-
moval Of incompetent, untrustworthy, or un-
scrupulous partisans, or in those measures
which he shall think proper to recommend
for adoption by Congress. Let him standby
his friends-the friends of the country--and
bid defiance to his enemies-those squalling
brats Of the Union, who will never cease
bawling over the loss Of their "Treasury
pap" He will then have everything to
hope for and nothing to fear--save the death
Of the Union, the "Archbishop," and "pro-
gressive and Democracy
