long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofula,
Diseases Of the skin, Coughs, Colds Splitting of

PRESCRIPTION STILL

The opponents of Gen. TAYLOR, conscious Of
the strength we Will derive from an appeal to the
administrations of the other Presidents have cle-
ated a new ISSUE and refuse to abide by this
They contend that the pledges Of Gen. TAYLOR
have materially affected his position, and vet the
direct proofs not given but a defence Of the DO
Stion is attempted By inference. lfGen. Tav-
Tor has positively asserted that he is not the
friend Of prescription, knowledge Of such fact
would not have escaped the notice Of the Demo
cratic journals, and desttutIon of such proof is
quite significant differences are mere express
>ons of opinion in relation 70 the Specification
Of language, and We claim the privilege Of form
ing our opinions. The quotations. made by our
opponents and ON which the differences are
drawn, are 50 novel and ab~nd thatwe cannot
refrain from making a haSlv investigation there
OF. They have referred, in anticipation of sud
den victory TO that portion of Gen. +. IS letter, in
N Wuch he tells rs, thai il bis appointments to
oiic, be will make capacity aud honesty TIE
test. This serves for the foundation of two in
icrenceS, viz that he will appoint men to iiI Of
fees, and in 50 doing he will consider their hon
esv and capacity. IN short Nv lbiS declaration
he pledges himself to appoint honest and capaci-
tated men to office. In making appointments
two courses can be pursued he can continue
those already IN office; Of, hc CAN select mdivid-
uals to MI the vacancies which may be created
by deaths, designations or eXpul>ionS Is there
aught n this opposed 70 prescription : But, say
oW Democratic friends, he il pledged ID make
capacity anu honesty the test for office. To
make this pledge an argument against proscrip-
ton, i is essential that our Democratic friends
show that the officers Of Mr.. Polk were capable
and honest. Should they succeed III this, which
Is not probable. they must then demonstrate that
the officers IN question are the only capable, or
the most capable men in existence, But the
matter will not stop here. This being establish
ed, 1t VIII become necessary to show that such
were the views of Gen. Taylor We are told
that he is pledged to be a no-partv President
10 make this declaration prove, that Gen. Tav-
Tor is not friend Of prescription. our Democrat
lc friends must be endowed with some divine in
genuIty; for ourselves, we cannot see the use to
which il can Be applied. Other similar argu-
ments are Produced but for the present we must
forbear.
With due respect we ask the Democracy why
they attempt p argue in the absence ofreaSon /:
Restrain your Impotence until some obiectiona-
bic act IS perpetrated. Be prudent, and do not
exhibit the intensity Of your pain by these con-
tlnued reproaches. Would that We knew some
healing balm with which to alleviate your suffer-
ings.
