General Taylor seems determined 70 naniain II posi-,
ble the non-commtal position which he assumed before
the election. He has even improved in tle kccncs Of
mystifcaiion since he occupied the presidential chair
He no longer seeks to misead BY doubtful end eqvocs
expressions; for now despite his scon for the rues Of
grammar. his addresses are intelgible enough. But
they are utterly inconsistent with each other that on.

We confess inability TO reconcile the speech at

he General Taylor viii eneavor to carry out the pn.
cples Of the party that brought him into power Thai
is plain and explicit enough. h not only commits ths
noparty President TO the wing creed, but binds him

piles Of that party Standing alone, Il is equivalent to
withdrawal Of all his pledges made before ihe eleciiou
and stamps upon him the features Of iszty President
But he leaves York for Lancaster; and a. soon as be
reaches the latter place he declares N substance that his
speech at York false, Tor he says that he
is 'rhe President Of The uniei States. and not Of

eommttalism Of species which has been called by
harsher but il s deemed TO be hardly worthy Of
notice now. After what has passed. NE people Of the
country believe with great unanimiiy that il matters but

Holmes OF the Palmetto State the only Taylor demo-
erat in Congress who adhered TO "Rough and Ready"
after his nomination by the whigs. Mr.. H. is an
independent bold, and talented representative, and

Taylor mission at least and for merits equal il moi SUI
