The daily national Whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1849, 1849-01-01

General Taylor's nomination BY the Wing
party, was, that he was a soldier. This fact
was argued BY us continually, as an invnci-
bic element Of success. It proved to be as
we predicted.
The National Wing, short as was its ca
reer, was useful instrument in eliecting the
greatobject for which il was founded name
", the securing Of the nomination Of Gen.
Taylor for President by the Wing nominal
ting Convention. Ii did its work. And that
work was responded to by the Wing nominal
ting Convention. Il sought to be a laborer
in the field after the nomination, but its OPP
ponents had possession Of the political organ
izations, and we were refused the honor Of
helping TO elect him, whose nomination we
had fought to secure against the wishes Of
those political organizations. Though Tay-
lor was the nominee, our agency in bringing
about that nomination was regarded as q sin
never to be forgiven, and our advances 10
help in the election by a revival Of our pa
per were thrown in our teeth as unworthy
Of consideration. A distinguished politician,
whose first love was any body but Taylor,
said, that the National Whig had done
more to break up the Ant-Ta ylor organiza-
tons in the Wing party than any other agen-
icy in the UNION, and for this act, it should
never be countenanced or aided by him.
Honesty never fails to live down its oppo-
nents, sooner or later. The National Whiq
was startedw an honest purpose, was hon
estly sustained for nearly year, and was
crushed for refusing to be dishonest. Itbe--
gan a Taylor Wing paper, continued Tay-
lor Wing paper and stopped a Taylor Wing
paper. One year has elapsed since we were
forced 10 suspend, and the National H1ig
is resumed as Taylor Wing paper. We
have lived down our opponents. We have
lived to see the realization Of our daily pre-
dictions, that General Taylor would be nom
mated for President by the Wing party, and
be elected to that Office by the People We
have lived to see our opponents become our
| friends. We have lived to have the hand
Of determination extended to us cordially by
those who were our most bitter opponents
In this review Of the past, We have
endeavored not 10 allow single feel
ing Of hostility to any one 10 influence us, nor
to permit ourselves to be carried away by ex-
ultation at the fulflment Of our auguries. Our
sole object has been to justify ourselves for
holding aloft the Taylor Fidy in this capi-
tai, at period when the whole body Of poll
iticians throughout the country was opposed
to his being nominated for President BY the
Wing party, We have done so, and we
oiIer the shand Of fellowship to. every man
throughout The Union, in the pleasant and
refreshing labor that awaits US Of support
ing and defending the Administration Of the
Old Soldier, who comes to restore the gov
eminent Of this Republic to its "original

THE CHOLERA.

This terrible disease Is lowering around us In eve
ny direction, and we see preparation being nude
to receive IL when II shall determine to tarry In our
midst. There has been a great deal Of talk about
the nature Of the visitation and about the best mode
of warng of its attacks, and II talking would be
of any yalne in repelliug them, we should 90 scot
free for itis evident every body fully understands
what the cholera is and what ought to be done To-
give It the go-by. But this pestilence is not to be
driven back from our confines by spending our
breath in disquistions upon its nature or in adop.
ting empty resolutions TINT this and that shall
DO done, In the way Of prevention, BY cleansing
the streets, lanes alleys and byplaces Of The city,
and calling the people 10 keep their habita,ons
Glenn, when there is no body TO do the work or see
thn Il Is done, and no money appropriated to employ
amy body to carry these resolutions into effect, Tho
Board Of Health consists of energetic and public
spirited physicians butt Is doing them injustice for
the Corporate authorities TO resolve that they shall
do this and that without placing the most ample.
means at their disposal. But we hold, that II is
wrong In the government ofthe city to ask citizens
to neglect their time and labor to do the public bu-
siness, without remunerating them therefor, In On adj
equutc manner To do justice to the public in this
matter Of cleansing the city, Health Committee
for each Ward ought TO be appointed, to consist Of
the best citizens whose duty it shall be 10 see that
The health ordinances put in force, and who shall
DO well paid for their abors, The force Of scaven-
gers ought TO be Increased until It ID sufficient to re-
move every morning before 8 o'clock the qccqmpla-
ted filth of the Streets lanes and alleys for the prece-
ding twenty four hours. The Health Committee
should have power to make domiciliary visits, AZ
least once week, TO every dwelling and house In
their respective Wards and remove at the expense
Of rec,,sants any filth which they shall neglect OF
