One most gratifying feature of Gen. Tay-
lor's visi. 10 the people 10, .ha. Democrats as
well as Wings hare everywhere greeted him
with the warmest enthusiasm, and have in ev-
cry instance become attached to him for bis
political and personal honesty, jus, in proper
ll0n 10 the amount of their ini ercourse with
him. Considering the violence and unssrupu-
lousness with which he has been assailed-.he
unsparing Efforts 10 traduce him, not only by
means Of the vlest and grossest misstatements
that the hope of future and magnficen, reward
can extor, from fertile imagnalions,-t uni-
Versal praise from friends and foes alike was
not to have been expected. Since the Presi-
dent first Sc. out upon his visit through Penn
syIvania, the pen of SANDER has been uncom-.
monty productive, and no, less remarkable for
the originality of It's falsehoods. The anec-
dot es that have been put forth in regard TO him,
bylihe Loco-Foco presses, are as wholly and
entirely wthou, foundation as are their au.
,hors Of character Inlall his conversations,
and in all his speeches, the language Of The
President is plain, chasle, concise and entirely
correct, So slrpck was one ofihe mos. prom
inent Loco Foco leaders of Pittsburgh with
this fact, that he remarked as soon as the Pres
ideh,'s speech was concluded on Saturday, that
i, was the mos effectively eloquent and chas,e
of any speech that he ever heard in his life.
This is but one Of the many expressions Of
the kind thai have been made. Al York, Har-
risburg, Lancaster, Carlisle. Chambersburg and
1 the in,ermediaie places the same remarks have
been made, and The names of the individuals
who expressed them can be given. One o!
.hem, at least, is we'll known Throughout, the
country as a prominent man and Cass and
Butler Elector, The only instance in which
the Presiden, has been rudely met, occurred
a. Greensburg, and is sufficiently explained by
the fact that the Loco. Foco was in liquot a,
the time. @ 3a -
! It is The plain, honest and sincere charac.
,eristics of Gen. Taylor that everywhere are
Loco-Foco presses and correspondents TO lie
about the Prosident--,o relate incidents that
never occurred, and 10 put words in his mouth
thai he never uttered. There is no. one Of
these sheaking ,Yili6ers that dare make a sin.

name. .psaq - =. s....s -
Upon the subjects Of Tariff, Sub-Treasury.
Internal improvement, Foreign Policy Of the
Gyerument &c. the views of the President
are well settled, concise and correct, according
TO the Principles Of the Wing parry. On SAT-

Of an hour upon these questions, giving his
views with the same force, precision and mod
es,y that is exhibited in his Mexican dispatch
es, or the celebrated Esop letter 10 Mr.. Marcy

Tariff Of 1896 bur not in favor of the entire
