"Tho Pen Worthy OF the sword"

"Nothing can he more happy, appropriate modest
yer dlgnird, thnn the dispatches from Gen. Taylor.
They are worthy OF the man and OF tho occasion
which has called them forth We thoroughly agree
with the compliment that the New Orleans Cou Ter
pays to the general order of Gen. Taylor. giving
thanks his troops Tor their bravery and good con-
duct"
1.-The American reader will remark with pride
and pleasure the striking contrast it exhibits To the
tedious extrayagant, vainglorious productions OF the
Mexican General. The ncatness OF the style is nd
mirabe not a word too much or in the wrong place
all in fine keeping with the energy and decision
with which h- military operations are conducted"
Now, when General TAYLoR,b the suifrages
of the PEoPLE, has been elevated to the highest
civil Office on earth, and is found to exhibit, in
politics. the same "energy and decision" in
carrying out Wing Principles, that he did in
conducting his military operations" the tune
of the late Organ of Mr.. Polk is pitched good
deal lower. Circumstances alter cases -
Now, the Union thinks that President TAyLoR's
head is about the only thing that is "Dorthy Of
The spord! :" The Unions estimation Of Gen.
TAYLOR has grown, with almost mathematical
eIactness, in the Inverse ratio with that of the
People. At any rate, the Union now thinks
that Gen. TAYLOR can scarcely write sentence
