The developments Of every days experience under the
present administration convince us that the great Tay
Tor republican party is destined to speedy dissolution
II is now pretty near its end II is doubtful whether
will hold together long enough to give its leaders su
Gent time to digest and promulgate TO theiwod the real
principles or measures which it proposes to CONSOLE
date ITSELF If it is possible for them to devise Of
principles for it. Everywhere pickering and dissenson
pervade the Taylor camp and intestine eud threatens to
break out in open mutny. What other finale could we
look for in party made up Of such heterogeneous in
gradients mere motley compound OF mercenary fac
tons banded together for spolation and preyan ag-
gregaton Of conflicting elements held together only by
the cohesive force Of public plunderwhat could we
expect but dissatisfaction grumbling. open collision, and
civil war Already these predatory political tribes
and clans fighting the Offices in Philadelphia like
packs OF starving hyenas the bodies Of the dead
upon a field of battle.
Our readers will perceive what is going on in that city
from the following extracts which we copy from the

look the spirit OF the resolutions Mr. Lewis is de-
nounced as imbecie and unfit for Office. Why's Surely
because he has of the cearest and most vigorous

his admirable business qualites No; but he has not
made appointments to suit individuals, who there

part of the burden Of public Office, and con-

As the appointment of Dennis Meay, we should have
objected IT, and did not hesitate express opinion
of its mpolicy and injustice. But it would seem that
very large, uncommonly large number OF the most
active supporters of General Taylor thought differently, and
