Tins was (ho breaking but of bos* tilities, and it was here Cot. Taylor commenced to net a Very conspicuous part. !■ Heretofore but a Goto*, net in command, he.was now-promoted to (he rank of General. With a decison and promptitude,'highly , commendable, ho at once demanded satisfaction, for tho'fingrant outrage Which had been committed on ; our soil, and failing .'to receive it, lie determined to use thoonly prerogative left, and compd lhcmlo make . lull olonemcnl.The, battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma followed, and Taylor and the American troops were victorious.' The news of these vlcto. 1 rics was iicralded forth, and all classes—sjvea very few—rejoiced. Thonamc of Taylor was.waited on every brecie. .UU prmcwaa sling by cvcry yoicc. Be was lauded to tho skies by every .longue. • All parlies united in bestowing upon him the praise and admiration due his consummate skill and uncquolcd bravery.. Troops were sent to his assistance; and with a heart made light and courageous, by the ap probation and aid hp had received from his country* men, he marched into tho . interior of tho enemy’s country, .and again fought, stormed, and conquered at Monterey. Here it would appear Taylor’s cup:ol glory and usefulness was full. An entire'nation was willing to pay him homage. Foreign countries com* plimented him upon tlid ability, ho possessed and ex* crciscd. Our ,own government, to assure him that ho s(j|| possessed their confidence, raised him (o tho highest post of the army,(hat of Major General, and voted a vote of thanks to him for his inestimable services. But, after tho bailie.of Monterey, Gen. Taylor was destined.to ahoro a dlftcrcnlfate (ban that which had hitherto followed him.' Henceforth ho was la receive the opposition of a part of his countryman, and that opposition was to bo one, which, if possible, would ruin him. Henceforth ho and hi* brave corn* pautovs tn arms were to be the mark-for a strong party press (6 spit their vile venom upon. Hence* forth ho was to' bo assailed and Insulted by & now enemy, and one winch was ihilco.moro dangerous than (hat which ho had triumphed pver aißcsaca and Monterey. This parly opposed the administra tion in every measure which had' for Us object the prosecution of the.war. The very men who had sanctioned,.by their Totes, the declaration of war, now. denounced; it, ns unholy, unrighteous, and un just. They exerted every nerve and made every effort to.cripple the power of the administration, and prevent the designs it had in view. They heaped the chois’esl epithets upon the noble band who had slrugglcdand fought so bravely, and who.were now asking for assistance ; Taylor himself was charged as being the chief of murderers, and an adroitskull* breaker. )I>s private as well as his public character was.assailed; it was asserted that ho furnished ere °(e virgins /bribe “lielfsand brothels ofNew. Orleans/! Every thing was said and dona which could in any ' way hasten the ruin they desired to bring upon him. Prior to,iho battle of Buena Vista, when General Taylor was in the most critical position of (ho cam* pslgn, and when assistance was so much needed.and desired) (hey not only refused ilia aid that was asked, but (hey threatened-la deny him any further sup plies.

Made desperado by the insults which they had ro-l ceivcd from (heir countrymen; and anxious to assure tho odminixtralinn that they Were thankful and nut unworthy of the support and encouragement ll had given them, they met the enemy on the battle field of Duena Vlaln, and after fighting with a cou* rsgo and desperation which could not be surpassed, they were once more victors. Tho nows of tho vic tory of Duena Vista was a damper to tho. hopes of Corwin, Dolano, M'Gonghcy, and their followers. They hud expected and prayed for tho annihilation of Taylor and his band of patriots, but they, were mis* taken and grieved to find that.ho not only survived lliu shook of Santa Anna and the hordes under him, but that ho came off victor of the held. It was vain to make another effort to destroy the old hero; they found ho was not only Invulnerable to their attacks, but also those of the Mexicans. , A year past away of inactivity; during which (Imo Gen. Taylor had Ills attention attracted to n new Held. He had been solicited on different occa sions to give expression to his views in regard to iho several, questions of national policy, and had been asked repeatedly if he would accept of a nomination for tho Presidency. At hrst, Gen. Taylor, with (hat honesty which mode him brave and fearless an tho j batllo hold, answered these questions with a decided, negative. In regard to his opinion on political ques tion* lie had npne—ho hid never formed any—ho waa perfectly unacquainted with any of Iho ques tion* which made the dividing lino between (ho Do-! mocratlc and Whig parlies.
