Gen, JAS, III. IL. TaylOr.

We invite the attention of our readers to the
manly letter Of Gen. J. II. r Taylor, on our
first page. Gen. Taylor has proved himself by
deeds not by coHis Fifteen years arduous labor
in the ranks of the old Democratic Party attest
his fidelity to principle-his patriotism has been
proved by heroic action in the tented lleld-that
field that Mississippi points to, as the brightest
star in her diadem. Yet there are anti-Ameri-
can sucklings- mere political babes "mewling
and puking in their nurses arms" when he was
fighting the battles of Democracy, that auda-
ciously presume to question the patriotism of
this veteran. 1t is really refreshing and en-
couraging to see such gallant soldier, able
statesman and accomplished gentleman rallying
under the American Flag and drawing his keen
Damascus blade for the fight between patriotism
and Jesuitism. Let the battle-shout, "America
for Aniericans," be rung along our nothcrn bor-
ders, let its echoes be reverberated over the
hills and dales of gallant Mississippi until they
reach the blue waters of the Gulf. Let the
great American army, from Northern hilsl to
Southern strand, from highland and lowland,
draw the sword and thow away the scabbard
"Strike till the last armed foe expires,
Strike for the green graves of your sires,
God and your native land"

We oppose and protest against all abridge-

nal maxim, that religious faith is a question be-
tween each individual and his God. and that the
Bible is the great fountain and depository OF
the true Religions doctrines of this country
We will maintain and defend the constitution
of the United States as ii il, the Union as ii was
intended by our fathers, and the rights of the
States, without diminuton; insisting upon, and
demanding faithful performance by the Gen

on it by that Constitution.
We war with no party as such, but oppose
all who oppose us in these great American doc
