When Gen. TAYLOR told the nation, that
he would not be party President, neither
Of the great parties Of the country had made
their selection Of a candidate for the Presi-
dsncy. The Whigparty, after long strug-
gle within its own ranks, accepted MIN as
their candidate, but the Democratic party
repudiated him and took up another individal.
Gen. TAYLOR was elected Is it not self
evident, that the promise Of not being par
ty President cannot be claimed by the Dem
ocratic party to be kept as a matter Of right
We think so. They repudiated the prom
ise and the promiser, and the keeping Of the
promise, so far as Democrats are concerned,
is plainly matter Of discretion and not Of
duty. II these things be so, and we do not
see how they can be otherwise, is it not the
exirsme offolly in Democrats, to accuse Gen.
TAYLOR Of breaking his promise, not to be
a party President, because he does not take
Democrats into bis entire confidence, The
Democrats are not party 10 the promise
and he cannot break promise they refused
to confide in. 1t is the Wings who are the
only party to the promise, and he has invio-
lably kept il in regard to them, and will
continue to do so.

much alarm in the confirming body, that
they hasten to consent 10 subsequent nomi-
nations, without looking as closely into them
as duty might seem 10 require. On the 9th
or hand, the experience Of the past demon
strates, that, in iactious contest between
the Executive and the Senateon the subject
OF nominations, the Executive generally
comes out the coEqueror. II is notorious,
that Gen. JACKSON owed the maintenance
Of bis unbounded popularity, to his contest
with the Senate. We have ever believed,
hat Gen. JACKSON would never have reached
tbe Presidency, a second time, but for the
iactious opposition to him in the Senate. II
is well known, that the rejection Of MIR.
VAN buren, made him President. Hence,
we take it, the history Of the past will be
an admonition, not to wage tactious war
against the President upon the subject Of
nominations, let the Union think and say,
what it may. Indeed, the Senate pledged
itself not 10 do so, in the speech Of Colonel
JEFFERSON DAVIS, on the occasion Of noti-
flying Gen. TAYLOR Of his election. TO the
Presidency
The country has always been taught to
believe, that the action Of the Senate in ad-
yising and conserving to nominations, is
based upon considerations looking to the pro-
motion Of the public interests and going to
secure a just execution Of the laws. II is
true, the Senate has, on more occasions than
one, been snayed by extreme views
though never dsbonest--in the exercise Of
this portion Of its power, but It is the first
time, we believe, in the history Of the coun-
try and Of political journalism, that the Sem
ate has been openly called upon by metro
politan Journal, to so exercise its constitu-
tional supervision over the Presidents nomi-
nations for office, as to secure the union Of
the Democratic party! The proposition, we
are sure, will meet with the reprobation and
scorn Of every honorable member Of the
Senate. That body will never consent to
become a mere party instrument in the hands
Of INSCRIPTIONS politicians TO subserve their
unholy purposes. It may, as It has done in
former times, be led away, from the calm
performance Of its duties, by honest excite.
ment against the Executive. 1t may wage
factions war upon President TAYLoR's no.
limitations, but it will not he for the purpose
suggested by the Union. There never has
been time, and we believe, there never
will be time, that the Senate intended or
interds to do wrong, from a malicious fore
thought. Their acts have done and may
again do wrong, but they have been and
will be the dictates Of honest purposes, how
ever mistaken.
But, what are we to think Of paper, that
calls upon the Senate TO lend itself to base
party purposes; We cannot explain the
phenomenon, in any other way, than by re.
ferring the impulent proposition to the feel,
ing of dislike, which the editor of that journ-
al may experience, towards the Senate fol
indicating its dignity, when attacked and
insulted by him year or two ago

"A Republicans Government says Guizot, "has
the same VOCATION the same duties, as any other gov
eminent lis name gives It no claim to dispensalion
or privilege II must satisfy both the general and
which II Is called 10 govern" aa @5e !.
The differences between governments consist chief
" in the degrees of diffusion and concentration Of
power. Sovereignty must reside somewhere In
every government; and there must be in every
government some mode of concentrating the sover-
eign power when the safety Of the State shall re-
quire Il.
There are mot different degrees OF sovereignty,
but there may be, rs we have said, different degrees
of its diffusion or concentration. When II II recog-
nzed as belonging 70 the Rrsat body Of the people as
with us then government constituted upon that
principle In order TO he permanent must provide for
general diffusion of power through all the different
parts Of the system. The reason II because demo
cratic or republican government Is Of necessity rep
resentatiye.-If Il should entrlist Its whole sover
eighty 10 the hands Of for any considerable
period, II would estabH sh lis own MISTER, II
for short period there would be such commissions
and conflicts as TO render It better 10 have settled

The sovereignty therefore entrusted TO the hand.
Of Representatives needs 10 be difinsed. And here
we behold the admirnble wisdom Of ON noble
system, which, having created the various depart

Of well-ordered government keeps each 10 rs
