The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1849-05-23


The democratic party of louisiana Virginia, the native
State of Gen Taylor. has already sgnaly rebuked his
administration and would be spectacle indeed
Il Louisiana, his adopted State should follow her exam.
nile. as our correspondent confidently predicts.
We would especially call the attention of those who
do not fully understand the nature aud tendencies of
Dartyism to that portion of our correspondents commu-
nicaion which gives account of the wholesale siaugh
Ter that the new Taylor collector has pepetrated in the
custom house at New Orleans. We prepared, as
soon as we saw the composition of Gen. Tay ors cabi-
no. 10 see the guillone in active operation; but we did
M, believe that the President himself military and
elevated TO his high post because OF his military services,
vou,d entirely overlook similar services rendered by
others We did not believe that in the first heat
o( his new. born partysm he could far forget his
nlalyes and his promises, and be unmindu Of the
cause of his elevation, TO put or TO permit others 10
M, marty before services on the battle field. if TO taun
the people with their folly in preIeng military chief
tain to ripe and experienced statesman Chief Magis
tra,e Of the Union. But we were mistaken General
TAYLOR or his cabinet seem 10 have forgotten the high
virtue of military services which paraded with
much zeal during the last campaigns for when he or his
cabinet are called upon to act, they held as OF little
valve BY the side OF political subserviency. The aged ia
h.r of the gallant Drum who fell in the of battle be-
fore the walls of Mexico has been unceremoniousy dis
missed from an humble Office Butler of Florida, who
stood by Jack sons side New Orleans and distinguish
ed himself in that trying conflict has been removed, that
his place might reward partisan services. John Ferris
who los, an at Buena Vista. has been turned out of
the post Office al Lawrenceburg, Indiana Halle of New
York, the soldier of the of 1872 who was stricken
down by ball which perforated his chest at the sorte
of Fort Erie, has been removed from the custom house
Of Champlain These had prepared us tor stern
rebuke from the administration itself upon the folly
of the people who had rewarded military services by civil
promotion but we scarcely believed that Gen. Taylor
himself would allow his suborlnates 10 go TO such
excuses in New Orleans. We believed that he
would remember the services of his body-guard, at
least, which stood by him faithfully at Monterey
and Buena Vista We are mistaken however. One
of that gallant band--Captain Cenlenn, of the lst
Mississippi regimen,-has been removed from the
tom house at New Orleans General Taylor attributes
his achievements 10 the gaantry Of his troops; but it
seems that they will not be permitted to share "the
spos" of victory The President seems to have found
that
"Peace hath her victories,
No less sned than war;
BY the soldiers who stood by him the battle field,
shall be occupied by the partsans who stood by him
in "the late civil contest" WE'LL be il 80; but
tina, the people will remember the lesson.
One word more about the New Orleans appointments
and removals. We received them in the Delta. by the
Mondays mail, and published them yesterday morning
The National Wing received them from the
source, and affected to publish them at the same
time But il amounted to preence, and more. The
National Wing published the OF the thirty seven
officers rho retained; yet remembered TO forget
that forty had been removed day By the Idy
Tor collector But This is not ALL That brilliant organ OF
the present administration has carefully struck out from
the article OF the Delta which professed copy entire
every word which indicated that any had been re-
moved That the reader may that this statement is
true, and know what stricken from the article OF the
Delta, publish the principal part of the article, placing
in brackets and italics that portion of it which omit
