WHIG FAILURES. Itisa very remarkable fact how
uniformly the leaders of the Whig party have failed
to display anything like administrative talent, when
placed in positions which call for its exercise. In
every such case, they act in manner to excite dis
satisfaction and distrus in the members of their
own party. Of this fact, other instances need be
given than those of Gen. Taylor and Gov. Manly.
TO say that Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet have failed
give satisfaction to any party, is only to repeat
truism which all must acknowledge. Every inde-
pendent Wing journal in the South condemns the
course of the Cabinet. Gov. Many's is even a
stronger instance. 1t is very seldom indeed, that the
Office of Governor of North Carolina is more than
a mere sinecure, but it has happened, that Gov.
Manly has been called upon act in behalf of the
Improvement authorized by the last Legislature and
ings and opposition. In regard to the Fayetteville
Plank Road, nothing could have been more unfortu-
nate than his interference in behalf of the upper
route, against the wishes of great majority of the
individual Stockholders. In that case Gov. Manly,
holding the power of the State cast it in opposition
to the whole community. In the case of the Sails
bury and Western Turnpike, he has been even more
unfortunate so much so, indeed, that Of the
papers, and several of the leading Wings of that
section refuse to support him. choosing rather to go
for Mr.. Reid To destroy Whig power, it is only
necessary for them be placed in position to exert
it, end they render themselve ridiculous that
even their supporters glad get rid of them.
Such is the with Taylor and Manly-the two
objects OF the Whig laudation at the present time.
They have both ruined themselves, and putting can
save them. Wilmington Journal.

an estimable citizen, a church member, and man of
