Washington atit Taj-toe,
The resemblance between these twri persona
,e, which ha teco frequently remarked, is ho
fanciful' thing, but a reality, which becomes
mure apparent in proportion the characteris
tics ot the two arc regarded. There ia a simi
hrity in their styles of writing and in their
style of fighting in the open, manly almplici
ty an J inaKsivcneea of character common to both,
end in that hobler disinterestedness of nature
which markea in both a patriotism aa elevated
dm it is pure.
The iw of Gen. Taylor'a name in connection
with the Presidency haa developed a new point
i.f analogy between him and Washington. We
invite the reader's attention to a com pari ton of
the subjoined extracts. The firat ia from Qen.
Toy lor 'a recent letter:
"From many sources I have been addressed on
die subject of the Presidency, and 1 do violence
neither to myself nor to my position as an offi
cer of ihe army, by acknowledging to you, as I
have done to all who have alluded to the use
nfmynamein this exalted connection, that my
services are ever at the will and call of my coun
try, and 1 am not prepared to any that I shall
refuse if the country calls me to the Presiden-
liiiloffice.. but I cm and shall yield to no call
nul Ones not come irom me cpbmsucou ..
mid free will of the nation at large, and void of
the slightest agency of my own.
For the high huifur and responsibilities of such
an office, I take thia occasion to say, thai 1 havo
not the slightest aspiration ; a much more tran
quil and satisfactory life, after Ihe termination
' my present duties, awaile me, I trust, in the
occupations ninxt cognial to my wishes. In no
sse can I permit myself to be the candidate of
any party, or yield myself to party schemes."
The next extract is from oneot Washington's
letters in answer to an application in behalf of
e"me one for an office:
"Should it become absolutely neceraary for
me to occupy the station in which your letter
pre supposed me, have determined to gn in
to if ptrfectly free from all engagements, of
f very nature whatsoever. A conduct in con
formity to this resolution, would enable me, in
balancing the jriojjRjew,,itjne, irruA 'h rvic
nftrence lojustu t and the public good." .
In the answer of the Senate to General Wa
shington's first address to Congress, they say :
"Wc are sensible, ar, that nothing but the
voice of your fellow-citizena could have called
you from a retreat, chosen with the fondeat pre
dilections, endeared by habit, and consecrated
to the repose of declining years. We rejoice
and with us ail America, that in obedience to
the cull of our common country, you have retur
ned once more to public life. In you, all par
ties confide, in you, all interests unite."
The resemblance here ia an striking that no
one can mistake it. "What a acorching satire
ia it," saya Hie Richmond Republican, in which
we find these quotations, "upon the degeneracy
if the times, and the decline of the primitive
pmt or patriotism, that the sentiment of the
tale letter attnbuled to (Jen. Taylor should
strike panic to a singlo soul, or waken opposi
tion to him for the Presidency, when the posi
lion taken in that letter ia precisely indentirat
with that always taken by George Washing
ton in reference to the chief magistracy !"
The New York Journal of Commerce devotes
mi article of some length, and full of judicious
remarks, to the subject of Gen. Taylor and the
Presidency. It conclude as follows:
"General Taylor comes before the people un
committed to any party. Aa a military man, he
liaa attended to hie official duties, and not trou
bled himself with polities. To be an American
i enough for him, without adding Whig or Lo
co, ly way ol adornment. No one can doubt
that if called to the Presidency, he will admin
ister the government with impartiality, moder
ation, and wit-dom yet with firninee ; quali
ties which have been developed at every step
of his progress through Mexico. Knowing the
horrors of war, he will bo a man of peace. Cir.
cumspoct in hi language nd deportment, he
will not givo needless offence to foreign pow.
ers. Greatly respected as he is. both abroad and
atbeinn, he will uot have a character to gain,
but only to support Free from etrong party
predilections, ho will aim to do justice in all.
In short, he will be President of this country,
nd not of a section or party. Success to him."
In his letter, published in (ho Troy Post,
(General Taylor says :
The Presidential office presents no induce,
martta to me lo seek its honor or respon-ibili- I
ies; ihe tranquility of private life, on Ihe con
'rary, is the great object of my aspirations on
'be conclusion o the wsr but I am not insen.
ible to the tcrnuaion that my services are
vet due to the country, at Ihe country (hall see
rtt lo command them,- it still as a soldier,! sm
in-tied; if itl tiighcr snd more responsible du
ne, I desire not t uprose the manifest wish of
the people-but I will not be the candidate of
uuy party or clique, and should the nation at
Wge seek to place me in tba clurirof chief ma
piracy, the guud of all parties and the Nation
.1 good would bo my great and absorbing aim.
The position here as-uined by Gen. Taylor is
identical with that taken by Gen. Washing
on; and ntteda no other sanction than that of
He "Father of hia Country," to vindicate ita
propriety.

meeting was- recently held in I'-Hltimore, over
which Gen. Cameron presided, to adopt measures
for the continuance and completion of the rail
road fiom York to Ilarri.burg.
The estimate of the Engineer is 5500,000.
One of the great arguments used by the Haiti
moreans is, that it will connect with Ihe central
Rail Road opimsite Uami-burg, and thus give
them a communication with Pittsburg over the

delpbia enterprise, besides the gieat loss which
Pennsylvania must suttain in having a rail road
running parallel with her line of public woiks.
Could any people, having their own interests in
view, be guilt r of a greater absurdity? Why
not at once adopt the really central Suiibury
F.rie and PilUburg route, which will secure to
Philadelphia not only the Pitrtburg tinde, but,
what ia of much greater value, the great trade of
the Lakes, all of which could be accomplished at
a lets cost than the mis-called central road.

nothing but mere conjecture. Michigan was es

She haa, however, already sent to niai ki-t 555,
000 bushels, and had in store to go 383,000 bu

one million of bushels.

Justice and Uwnrjty, .,. ,
.We insert the following communication, sign
ed "Justice and Honesty,'1 though contrary to
our rule of not publishing anything without the

The author of "Just ire and Honesty',' looms to
be exceedingly thin skinned, and has evidently
been sorely wounded by our correspondent, in
speaking highly of the ability and Integrity of
Mr. Jordan, without saying that there are one or

If the democrats in the Forks were generally
of the opinions laid down by the author of "Jus
tice and Honesty," there might be someeronnd
for the T'ljision, opposition and disunion" threa
tened, unless thines were arranged to suit a
few interested office hunters. But we know
that many of the most prnmii.ent members of
the Forks concur in the views of the writer,
who recommended the nomination ol Mr. Jordan
as the best means of bringinr about the union,
harmony and success of the deniocistic rty
there aie, no doubt, othirs wbo would make
good members ; but whether their nomination
would have as good an effect in harmonising the
different eomflicting interests, is a question of no
slight importance.

y Fmtor : In your paper of the .Id of July,
I obsei ved an article headed "our next member,"
and signed "Many of Old Turbut." recommend
ing Alexander Ionian, F.sq , for our next mem
ber. Now, with Mr Jordan's competency, fit.
nets or ohility, to fill the office with honor to
himself and bis const it iients. should he be elec
ted, I have nothing to do ; but with the senti
ments of the article the union harmony, and
successor the democratic party, I have some-
j thing lo do, and reel a deep interest in the lat
ter. 'Ihe author f the above iiot.-! article,
tsuj:h he labors in the secoiij and fourth seu
I tences to show the nomocracy that no democrat
has a cloim upon his party Air office, either from
"local bubital ion, or for spending bis time, his
money, bis talents and best energies to promote
the punt-iplctol d. inocrary ai il insure the success
and prospeiity ol Ihe party yet in the third len
ience, eiiher iiiadvertently by mistuke or through
a slip of the pep. admits that the candidate w hom
he recommends has claims, not fiom "local habi
tation." but from "bis ability, his honesty and
integrity. Now we are not one of those who,
like the uncharitable or ignorant author of V.
nyvfOU Turbut," douht but there are many
Democrats, eiiher in Sunbury or the Forks, 1
who have equal ability, and are quite aa well
known for huvetty mid n'rgrity," as Mr. Jordan.
It really seems to us as though Ihe aulhor has
lateJy left the Whig -arty, but still believes and
wishes to carry out some ol its odious principles,
via: that the whig party contains all the de.
cency and talents." Yet the sutbor has, by
some hook or crook, found that theie is one de
cent, talented and honorable man in the Jiinio
cratic party. The author say : -as for claims I
01 any one to office, we look upon it as hum
bug as well ss Anti republican." I'oes he for
get (01 is it from ignorance) that lb constitution
makes any man "eligible lo the office of Repie.
sentalive, after be has attained Ihe age of twenty
one years and been a citizen and inhabitant of the
state thiee years." If, t her, a man is runstilu
lionally eligible, it follows that b bs a i0nti
tnlional right arising from bis eligibility ; and
if a right, then also a claim which he may asaert
at any time. All men, therefore, being constitu
tionally eligible, have claims; but there is still
further claims arising from local habitation, from
the custom of psrty, from ceaseless labor, devo
tioa and interest to promulgate and advance tba
principles oftb parly, and from time and mo
ney spent to unite, barmonix and insure, as far
as possibl, th success of tb party. It has
been, and will alwsys continue to be, th cus
tom of th great democratic party, not only in
national but in stats, district aud country nomin
ations, to pay grot regard to "local habitation."
It may be asked wby. Tha answer is, to satis
fy and rendsr justice to tb pailir entitle !, and
thus unit snd harmonit the party, aud the mere
likely to insuie its success.
Th Folks ar entitled lo the candidate, a
mstter of light.,. They not having had but two
yesisin twenty, justice and honesty demand
that it be conceded te them. The "interest and
success" oftb party earnestly require thsl the
candidate shonld be elected from the Forks.
Common honesty requires it. If the Forks do
not receive the candidate, division, opposition
and disunion will he ths consequents. When
justice and common honesty fail, and ar so of
ten outraged, then the magic word, "stick to the
ticket," cesses to be a vittue, and will r.o longer
be regarded, but treated with scorn and con
tempt. Let the Pemocrary ol the lower end do
justice to the Folks even though it be at this
late day it will ensure the success ol the nom
ine J otherwise, defeat is certain.
