Confidence, the best and surcst guaranty for
strong and successful Administration.
- Those of our readers who have noticed i
the eulogiums pronounced by different Senators
and Representatives in Congress, on the an
nouncement of his death, cannot fail 10 have
observed the remarkable unanmty with which
all political friend and opponcnt) conceded to
President TAYLOR the qualities of which we
have spoken. We cannot refrain from quoting |
few instances. Mr.. KIyG of Alabama (now
President of the senate) sad:-
l. therefore, Senators, am not surprised that the
! enthusiastic spirit OF the American people led them
to support such man, whose gaantry, and whose
successful services on the field must have endtared
him TO the hearts OF all. As man, have SAID he
was honest nt purpose. His patriotislnhis devotion
| to The constitution Of his country. under winch he
cherished thrsr free institutions have never ques.
| toned. think knew him well, and believe that
there no man more patriotic.
The country has reason to drplorc the dcah OF
1rcni man, and must be permitted to say, good
man.
Mr. WEBSTER, in the noble culogy, the
whole of which was given in our paper last eve
ming. says:-
But it will he a great mistake 10 suppose that the
late President O the united states owed ms atNdlc'-
ncnt to high civil trust, or his great accc:inbty with
the people to military talent or ability alone. BE-
cvc, sir, that associated with the highest admiration
or those qualities possessed bv him. there spicad
thruus hout the community high degree ot tonl-
lcncc and faith in his integrity and honor aud up
