They expect to do it by bril liantly picturing tbc victories of Taylor, and the dangers through which ho passed—by creating a charm around tho name of “Rough and Ready,” “Old 2.ick,’* and “.Buena Vista,** and drowning in quiry and knowledge, in,songs and festivities, , This Isceitulnly hot very complimentary to theirodheronts or the men by whose votes they expect to gain the victory—but it is the truth. 1 ' J They have Gen. Taylor for ,lholr f candidatei and as I ho has avowcd .no principles of .any Importance, as | ho has not; niado known his views wilhany thing. Jliko distinctncssor certainty on any of 1 the great measures'that hkvo for years divided Iho two parties, they, must roly for his success alone on tile glory ho |has acquired in Mexico as chieftain; j | To-any nothing of the grand-inconsistency of a j [party which hua always cried out against military! men, making this.their main, and only argurpqnl, it is certainly a poor recommendation for on office that demands the perception, judgment,learningand experience of a statesman. • A man may bo a bravo soldier and skilful general, without kuowiqg any thing of (ho science of government,: If so, ho is des titute of the principal qualification for the Presidency, and wants that, wUHouf which, ho mey endanger the whole fdbrick by assuming tho reigns.. But supposing (hut military glory is a recommen dation, then the Whigs'expect to-carry the day by their accustomed belief in the ignoranco of (he poo-, pie, or on the idea thu I they are controlled by nothing but Imputed. • They assume that (lie people eilhetdd not know that Gen. Cass over was in ll>& service of his country as a soldier, or that they are always io dazzled by the most recon* cvcnU, ns entirely to over loot- all that is bcyfmd, may on those grounds gain some votes, •’there will always be some men so enraptured by the events of yesterday,os to fee) no gratitude for the. more signal services of the day before. . But to such men they are welcome, and such men are welcome to. the compliment their Tederal friends pay to their intelligence and patriotism.— With them the ‘Whigs have this advantage—that Gen. Taylor’s military services wore rendered In 15-16-7—Gon, Gass’s services from 1812 to 1814. - - W°.do not wish to depreciate any of the services of, the gallant Taylor, or to pluck bno leaf from the honors.hc' has won. In any other position than as a candidate for a high office, that should 'ho.conferred for statesmanship and a knowledge of government only, wo would gladly accord him even moro laurels than those which now are wreathed around his brow. Dul in a causa like the present, wo wbuld.be false to our duly, if wo allowed, without an effort, any man to vault into office by reason of greater services than lie ever rendered—particularly when those are not of a kind to qualify, or that should be a recom mendation for lhe office. There are other ways of amply rewarding a victorious general lhan by placing an important power in his hands, in the use of which ho is not skilful and which could be wielded much better by another. For those reasons, we venture to assert, that after the lapse of a few years, whoa enthusiasm subsides ana mankind view our lute war cooly und impartial ly, and compare Ilia battles'wllfi'the battles of other wars, many of Gen. Taylor’s engagements wjll sink from the dignity Of battles, into (he rank of skirm- ishes; Palo Alto and Rosacea, will bo ItftV'of thorn. It was only because those bailies.were the.first that gave thorn any notoriety, while many others since fought by btliprjfenerals more, blpody.and more im porlunt, arc haraljrknowii,', Rut most cordially admitting that Gen. Taylor has rendered great services to the country, and that every American should bo proud of him as a General of her armies,—has Gen.

Cass has done for his country as a soldier, and not give all Iho military glory to Taylor alone. On the breaking out of the war of 1812, Geh. Cass entered the service of the United States in the com mand of tho 3d Regiment of iho Ohio Volunteers, and immediately commenced his march through on < extensive wilderness, and under great difficulties, to 1 tho northwestern frontier, which was exposed to the combined attacks of tho British and Indians. He was ono of. tho niosl prompt and energetic 1 advisers of thu commander, and was distinguished for tho soundness of his counsels, one of Iho very best quali. flcalions of a soldier. Ho was in favor of early and decisive movements, and had his advice been follow ed,and the energy employed which ho tried (6 stim ulate, it is almost certain that Hull's calamities in the Invasion of Canada would never have overtaken him. In that invasion well cohcelved,' but badlyex- P oouted, the bravo Cuss was ,tho Aral plan to land in anna upon thq enemy's shoie. On the 15th of July r 1819,'Cuss was ordered to attack a part of tho Bril* * ish army stationed on tho river Aux Canada, only * five miles from tho British, hcod.quarters, which he ' executed in the most gallant stylo-w-defcatod tho ene my , uml took possession of the position they had oo j. cupicd. At ’llils period Hull commenced hit errors, from which the gallant Cuss tried to save him, but in; vain. After this, Gen. Cass Joined Gen. Harrison at Seneca, and with the lute Commodore Elliott of the Navy, long a citizen of Hilt place, superintended tho debar* cation of that army on the coast of Canada. The British on tho approach of tho Americans abandoned (heir position and retreated, but was bo vigorously pursued by (he command under Csss and other portions of the army, that they wore obliged to i give battle, which ongageaiont was the celebrated I battle of the Thames. In this notion heacdompanled (the right wing of the army in its gallant charge on I Who B *iti*h troops, and valor defeated the disciplined I veterans of the enemy. In this engagement Gen.- . thickest of the fight, and risked his life with the privates in the ronks.for the sake of his | country. ; . . • .. _Tll..s are tire only important halilo. that wo know of Oan.
