Gen. TAYLOR has done nothing since he went in
to the office he now holds-nothing since he went
into public life forty years ago, to forfeit the public
confidence; and yet he is not only abused, traduced
and misrepresented by his enemies, but by some
who once claimed to be his friends. For this there
is no just cause, none whatever. He ought to be
sustained by the whole country, especially by those
who elected him he has violated no pledges made
by him-done nothing TO forfeit their confidence
has attended faithfully and honestly and to the coun-
srys benefit to the important duties of his high po-
sIlon and he should be sustained by his friends,
and especially when by so doing they not only sus-
tain high and worthy patriotic public officer in the
faithful discharge Of the public duties OF his Office
but they sustain themselves too, whe elected him,
and the best interest and honor Of the country.
