instructions believe in usual form from the Gem
eral Post Office Department at Washington, yester-
day duly executed his blank bond, took the required
oath OF office, mailed them in the presence OF his pre-

The post Office property. Mr. Park refused to deliver
possession on the alleged ground that his commission
was signed by the President and for four years
that his time had not expired and that the papers
hbited by Mr. Cook do not show the signature OF

Such was the ofi-repealcd declaration Of General
TAYLOR, while aiming 10 reach the Presidency. lis
design WINS 10 secure the suages Of large class OF
people who had innocently placed him In nomination
as "no party candidate.
But chromosomes alter cases. Gen. Taylor the
candidate was not the same person Ia Gen. Tay-
lor The President; and this fact must have long since
been made sufficiently apparent TO those who We're
deceived by his reiterated professions Of party nell
irality. His first act was to call together Cabinet
| of thorough going Whigs-men who have Taught
and practiced The principle thai 80 the yicors be-
long the spoils OF office That Cabinet Is now bus
iy engaged In decapitating all those Of opposite pol
tiles within their reach, and substituting In their
places The most active and Inscriptions Wings that
can be found.
Nothing could have been more true than this de-
carniion when Gen. Taylor made II. lie had MOI
then been In political life. He had not then been
assailed and maiened by '.enemies." Nor had Il
then been necessary thai "friends" should defend
If Gen. Taylors position and duties have been
changed, il Is the fault Of those who now complain
Of such change; The pariy By which the Govern
has been held ong not hs Choose 2 s1s b
Olive Branch. Instead Of supporting him for presi.
dent, they organized Convention and nominated
theirman against him, They resorted to all The
weapons Of political warfare 10 defeat him. But he
proved inyincibe. They were "yanqushed," and,
according 10 their own filth and practice the "spoils
belong 10 the vlctors."
II IL not therefore, the fault, nor was il the wish
of Gen. Taylor, that he has opponents 10 remove
from, and friends TO appoint 10 Office The neces.
sity created by those who are unwilling 10 abide
their own issue.
But while the Ofiice-holders themselves have for.
ccd General Taylor inlo much needed reforms"
The duty is being discharged with moderaiion.-
Removals are by no means indscriminale. Where
good men who attend to their duties are found In
Office they are not disturbed. Bit those who went
