, ."
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withdrawn, and nothing but total annihila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.. . - '

mined to proceed immediately to the erection of a = '
new' Church Edifice; on the scite of the present I • -
building, which is tooemail for -the accommoda
tionof all who desire to attend. The building
wennderstaria; will - be-of stone after a design fur
nished 31r - Im - Brun, of. Philadelphia, in_ the
early English Gothic Style, with lancet windows,
and massive buttresses. The extreme length of
the building from the front of the tower to the
cod of the chancel, will be 123 feet, and the width,
including the bintresses, 68 feet. The floor of
the church inside will .tie'77 feet long, by . 57
wide, exclusive of the Chat:Mel, which will be 24
feet wide arid 10 feet deep., The church will
contain on the main floor 194 Pews,. , There will
'tie a Tower in front 22 feet square and 90 feet
high, designed to receive a clock and , bell on
which the hour will be struck. It lobe design s
of the vestry to make about one-half 'of the rem ,
(to be distributed throughout the church,) free to
all, who chOose•tp occupy 'them. The estimated .
-expense of completing ilhe building throughout
is about $(2,000.. Of this, sum $BOOO are 'shear
