edition was worked off. the New York
mail arrived. bringing the mournful intel

aY TAYLOR. President of the United
States. Although the fact of his illness
was generally known to our citizens, the
fatal ,idings fell upon all with sudden
ness, and produced feeling Escrow ia
every heart. The bells Of Our village
Immediately commenced tolling. and Sc
continued until sun set. All felt that .
great man had been taken away--that \
mysterious Providence had once more be-
reaved the nation. -
The virtues and history of the deceas5
ed hare been so correctly and so ably
sketched by Mr.. Greeley. in the article

be said. W. cannot, however, refrain
from adding single remark. We were

TO advocate the nomination of General'
Taylor for the Presidency-thougb from
the day he was brought forward for that
Office by the Wing National Convention,
We gave him our co d'alsrpport, and it is
mot sufficient to say that we have never
for a moment regretted having done 50
Our admiration of the MAs--of his pat
riotism, firmness. and consistency--has
been constantly on the increase. Indeed,
we began to consider him one specially
raised up to meet the impending crisis
as. of all others, the man best fitted for.
the place and the occasion. His noble
stand on the Slavery Question. bis un
wavering firmness in maintaining his po-
'ition against the almost united opposis
ion Of the South, entitle him to the gra.
itude Of every true friend Of liberty.
General Taylor did not owe his eleva
ion to the mere fact of being successful
military chieftain, though this unqucs-
tionably added much to his popularity,
The events ofthe Mexican war developed
in him those great moral and intellectual
qualities which won the applause and adj
miration of his countrymen. Notwith-
standing the glory achieved on the field
Of battle. had he manifested a spirit OF
revenge, or tyranny, or self-conceit, o,
timidity, he. would never have risen to
The proud position which he occupied
But he proved himself suficien. for any
emergency. His modes'y was equal q
his bravery. and the brilliance Of his
victories were only eclipsed by his deeds
Of humanity and mercy.
Henceforth his fame is a part Of his
