We hrive raised. the binnor for Genera' Taylor, By some thir may be considered prema ture—by other.; ai too great a devolion to .milita- ry heroes. We are willing io earnit that there ire great obkctions to the eleittion of military met! to high and, resFonsihte civil etationi who • • are 'urged forcer:fa on merely a military repuMtiom without, any regard to the principtyhey , may entertain, or the requisite capacity ' to f i fil the du ties of the station to which - they are assigned. But this objection will not: hold good in . - the pree- ens instance: Gen. Taylor, it is true is ,a mill taiy hero--s man of great courage and noble'dar ing, but of - mature judgment, sound discression:— ind considering the profession he has so long and arduously followed, ohreinarkably humane feelings. But this is not all; in Lis correspondence n•ith friends and With the Government, he has exhibited tai ents of a high order—his official despatches have astonished the coon try, and claimed the admira tion of the learned both in this" Country and Eu. - .. rope, fortheir straight forward Manliness, correct views, and beautiful composition, Contrasted •witti those of the Government; the latter absolutely sink into insignificance; There is another rea:Mi why the people have so unantmouSly delivistel Gen. Taylor for , the Presidency. Ever since the two great battles were fotieht on the Rio Grande, which redOutided so much' to his credit, a constant fire bus been kept up "in his rear" •by the aSmiriistration--he, was ordered to penetrate into the enemy's country d . wiithout supplies, and without sufficient f‘rce.,— whenthe when tne heart of the ` nation was' beating for his safety, there burst upon us one of the most bril j liant achievements ever recorded in history, the seige and capture of Itrlonterei. While the pco , pie were thrilled. with the rntliusiasnt occasioned 6y this unparalleled triumph of our arms, and the lustre-it shed upon our cduntry.•his conduct was condemned by the Adminiitration 7 its minions assailed him on the (loot of Congress—the House. refused him a vote of, thanks until shamed into - I . the measure by the Sinate- r and President Polk reco-nMended the appointment of a Lieut. Gen ' ersl to supersede birn in the command of the ..; army. The latter selsine being l.kely to . fail, • with - a degree of turpitude almost unparalleled. a large portion of his faces were bidered to ba withdrawn, and nothing but total annihila tion seentedlo await old Rough 'and Ready and his gallant little band'—but 'thanks to Providence, be again proved victorious at Baena Vista. in an achievement morelbrilliant than any of his farrier triumphs, /although -at the ',sacrifice of a host of noble* spirits and agate, of, the hest blood of tho . Country. These are the reasons why the peuple • are determined to hurl the present Administration from power,,and elevate Gen. Taylor to-the seat now occupied so inglorion-ly by Mr. Polk—they are determined that he shall triumph over his 'e C. mica at home es well as abroad, and we are only :following in their - fuotstepa by rallying in his sup. port.. . - ' With regard to his political principles, tve re, fer our resderS to an article front the Louisville Jouinal, in another column, which scuff's- t h at ..quebtion PENT .
