The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1849-05-10

lowing comments on the text which II mas copied from
the Mobile Advertiser. (whig) The Advertiser is so Tar
right in its positions list, that removals have been made
from political (party) considerations I'd, that many an
officer has been removed who just as honest and com
peen and faithful to the constitution as his successor
and 3D. that to deny these facts and 10 resort to The ex
cuse that removals have been made but Tor cause, IS
miserable preex which calculated to take away not
mans office alone, but his character along ruth A. Hence
forth, let not the National Whg nor any of its allies,
shield the prescriptions OF the administration under such
disgraceiu preext But the Mobile Advertiser is sin
gularly unfortunate in maintaining lis position.
As the Richmond Enquirer shows il is rebuke
upon Gen. Taylor himself for violating the pledges he
made and the professions he gave. For example:
SIN no case permit myself be the candidate of
Jy sIi 1 ar ye'a "y's 10 party '0"''''

the chief magistracy the good OF all parties and the nation
