To the Non-action Taylor Wings of Indiana, il
there are any such left.
The editor of the Washington Union has been
abused by the whig press Of this Stale, with unrelent
ing severity, for burying forever all opposition TO
General Taylor in the grave that now covers his
body, and adopting that charitable maxim, Speak
no III Of the dsGd.'' Such appears not to be the
course of many of the old friends and eulogstS Of
the General We even see the editor of the Indiana
Journal and other wing prints in Indiana, who sung
loud and long hosannahs 10 General Taylor, and
who urged him to bring his standing army to
fight Texas, now climbing over on the other side of
the fence, and long, with the wing correspondent
of the Louisville Courier will be ready to denounce
his memory and his administration. This Louisville
Courier has the Post Office printing of that city
was an original Taylor paper, and was supported by
the Tayorites of Kentucky very generally, TO keep
Prentice from going for Clay. Under the present
administration this patronageis in danger, and some
thing must be done to retain it. We give the follow
ing as specimen of what may shortly be expected
from the Indiana Journal the Lafayette Journal the
Newcastle Courier, the South Bend Register the
Richmond Palladium, (he latter after the election,
and other kindred wing prints of this State. We
hope readers will preserve this extract from the
leading Taylor emancipation paper in Kentucky and
read it while they the wing editors of Indiana
"jump Jim Crow" as they have now commenced
doing. 1t reads thus:
Ii longer secret here that Gen. TAYLOR had
in of preparation Proclamation or Message in
regard to New Mexico and California, which nothing
but his sudden and sickness prevented him from
communicating to Congress on the 9th inst In il he
reviewed his past recommendations and reiterated them
urging at the time the admission OF both into the
Union at States. He further reviewed the ma
ture OF the dispute between Texas and New Mexico,
and avowed determination to stand by the latter
against the encroachments of the former with all the
military power Of the Government if it became
1t Is needless to speculate what would have
been the effect Of such Executive document upon the
country in its present distracted and excited condition
If, however, civil could have been avoided, and
with it final separation between the slave and free
States have not the comprehension to how. To
this Gen. Taylor was urged by unprincipled men, by
whom he surrounded, and who had no more regard
for his reputation his fame, than though he had not
been the President of their choice By his unlocked for
death to the country, these great caames have been
turned away from people, and who shall say that
the hand of alwise and unerring Providence is
to he seen in his removal from among us.
Last night the protest of Texas against the orders
issued Col. Munroe, the military Governor and Com
mander of New Mexico and his action under those
ders received but action will be had in relation
thereto until the new Cabinet selected and have en-
tered upon the duties of their Office 1t is fortunate that
these questions have fallen into conservative and able
hands Mr.. Fillmore's; for the country has
that they will be disposed of in such spi-
mt will insure their satisfactory and permanent add
justment.
The Abolitionists and Free Sellers have made a dead
get the of President Fillmore but have CON-
pletey failed in their scheming. He has Judged them
by their fruits, and knows that their designs evil
and successful will initiate against the true interests
of the Union They will consequently receive a re-
spectfu hearing, but they will go away empty handed
as they came.
In confirmation of what is said in the above ex-
tract in relation TO General Taylor's Proclamation
we copy the following from ting New York Tribune
How superlatvely cringing and cowardly it appears
to urge Gen. Taylor to a course of conduct only
rested by his death, and then back out from it the
moment President of supposed different views is in
power. 1t can only be accounted for on the ground
that principle not involved in their recommends
tons. Yet such is and will be the course of the
wing editors of Indiana. The Tribune says:
1t is confidently asserted that Gen. Taylor had moi
merely decided to efficiently in behalf of New Mex
leo, in anticipation of attack upon her by Texas
but that the draft of the Message of which the feature:
had been agreed upon in Cabinet Council had already
been made by Secretary Clayton at his request, and i
now on file in the State Department That this docu
ment fully indicated the right of New Mexico pro-
lection from Texas and avowed the determination
the President to render such protection the last
tremty denies. Why, then, should it not be
published? President Fillmore will CRAFTY very
raj and audble interest by ordering the draft to b
given to the world.
