General Tayloq Enfant ftir the President".
OF all the objections urged aginst the elec
tion of General Taylor to fill the highest office
in the gift of thi, people, that of total incompe
tenc?is the mo# forceful and impressive, and
outweighs all others. When General Jackson
was brought tinter& by the repubikan party as i
its candidate for i Oe Chief Itlagistacy, the very
prusestand orators that now vociferate in behalf!
of the "hero of Ittienit Vista,' ridiculed the ideal
of elevating a itiOre "military chieftain" to.that
high eminence : ; his want of capacity was rung I
upon every change, and croaked into the public
ear from Maine i , :to Georgia. Yet Gen. Jack
son's life had nig been entire& passed in camps
and in the tentkel field. His reputation was
not solely that 0 a brave and .successful sol
dier. His instlncts were not so thoroughly
military, as to ti,nfit him for the more polished
duties of civil life. He bad filled many high
and, resrponsibletpublic trusts, and won credit
in Ole discharge of them all.. He was well-z
in the constituttO and laws of his country, and
equal to the mos imminent cmergepcies of state
as his sabsequieei career sigeelly demonstrated.
Bat how is it : Zachary Taylor, the present
nominee of a King of the party that prated of
the incompetenef of Andrew Jackson ? Even
Lis most rabid and zealous advocates do not
pretend that, in 4oirit of talents and competen
cy, be bears anti comparison to his competitor,
General Cass. fAVitb all their assurance and
want of canclor,{: they have not the temerity to
perpetrate such to outrage upon truth and the
public intelligence. According to Gen. T.'s
own admission, lie has not voted but once in
forty years—ii:entirely ignorant of public a£
fairs—is not pttpared to venture an opinion
upon any of the great political issues that now
or may hereafter agitate the .country—issues
that have tbreStened disunion, and formed the
bases of party Nanitation and the fuel of par
ty strife, almott from the epoch of the found
ation of the i4vernment. This, then, is the,
man whom ()art, opponents have brought into
the lists, and or whom they ask the franchises
of his ootiatrytien, in preference to one of the
most accompliihed statesman aqd consummate
scholars of tbeiege. And . this the party who,
twenty years tip, invoked "war, pestilence and
famine,' rather, than the eleVation of a military
chieftain to Oe Presidency ! And this, too,
at a time when the down-trodden masses of,
Europe, growing -restive under' long years of
aervitude, are .looking to our experiment of
self-goviernme4 its a guide, pointing them the
way to fii*lcati: and constitutional •liberty!

iMonais LOISTRETH was born in Chpste
ccitinty, Pennsy vania, on the 3d of December,
1800, and is; cinsequently; in the 48th year o
hie age. Ou both sides, this family - were dis
thiguished ip the revolutionary finials. Hi
i grandfather, en 'the mother's side, was an Irish
' man, and wan Made prisoner at Fort 'Washing

Beitish cruelty.; His name was lillizz.
'His ancestors, on the fathePs side, settled, in
W*rministet, Bpcks county, in this State, abou • ./
the. year 1700, en a farm, .which is still occ u
pied by one of the same name. His grand
father on, the seine side, whose name was BE*J.
LONSTRETIc owned a plantation at the moot
or. !French Creek, (Chester county,) where
Phecenixvilla niAr stands. He died in• 1738,

I heft and . raised in Charlestown, near Valle
'Forge, Chester county, where, also, Moans :
1 was born. Joseph Longstreth moved to Phila
delphia, where Ink entered th i s mercantile basi
I ness. He is still remembered by, eur °ldes
inhabitants as a man of integrity and piety, an.
las peculiarly strict and conscientious- in all hi.
dealin t .7s. He .died early, leaving a widow an,
Sip children, three, of whom were sons.
Left alone With a youthful family, Wholly de

falher M' Kee bad been subjected, and the cru
day which hurried him to a premature gram.,
instilled into their young hearts, at' tbe sam -
time, a hearty abhorrence of the oppressors . f

kundly sensible that ebeir ‘ peaCeful virtues ca

of Pennsylvania for Governor could,not, bo
ever, forget the history of those wrongs 'chi,'
at the same time speak the shame of Englan

The career of Judge Longstreth is anoth
example fortbe youth of the country, and
stilling i ll ustration of the benefits , of free ii
stitutions. In May last, the Democratic N .

Presidency, a gentleman who left Warning

cou4try, -their manners and. customs, and
aCquaintanCe with.- the resources of

tered the mercantile business himself. For
eight, years - he continued thii highly honorable
purinit. t Thrimgh all this time, be bore a
ehailetet kiiverbially above reproach. During
the , 'Oeriod , of the bank panic—when the timid
faltcl and the venal deserted— , -7hen , all the
applianceli of Wealth and privilege were brought
intojietion toinake the stern old hero quail—
then in the midst of the foes -of Jackson—
" faithful' among the faithless"—Morris Long
!areal- sthod firm. He =nested decidedly the
administration and re-election of Jackson, and
sealnusly pointed out, to all-hie paliticalfriends
andiipponents, the solid advantage of the:Jack-
Nom 'policy. He is still Warmly recollected to
this lay, for his stern deportment daring those
trying-hours. In 1846 htinias placed in nomi
nation for Congress by the nnterrified Democ
; raci i , of Philadelphia city; and attlinugh'his
election'wai hopeless in that era of bank . rule
bank oppression, his- republican friends
could not refrain from naming him -as their
" candidate, simply as a testimonial of their re=
spent - for ~ h is political and personal character.
Whiin, in 1835—'86, the Bank of the United
States app lied to the Legislature of Pennsyl-
Tanta for corporate powers, Morris Longstreth,
thenua retired citizen, protested boldly against
1 the irantincof the application he invoked .the
support of all in the movement of oppoiition,
and linade no hesitation in bitterly denouncing
the 11141 success of the fraud. How fortunate
had;it been for Pennsylvania, if his counsels,
and the counsels of such as he, had been heed
ed ifi time •
lii 1837 Mr. Longstreth removed to his
farni, in the township of Whitemarsh, Mont
gomery county. In March, 18411 Wowed-ap
pointed an Associate Judge of the Montgoinery
CouPty Courts, by. Gov. Porter; and in 1846,
he was re-appointed to the same Place by Gov.
Shunk. In this position he gave' evidence of
new' gaalities , and rapidly won the confidence
and affections of his fellow citizens, by the in
tegrity and,intelligenee which maticed, his offi
cial
Oil the 4th of March, 1847:without ever
having occupied any public position but that
'of Alsociate Judge, he was placed' in nomina
tionfby the representatives of the Democratic
.arti in State Convention, for the responsible
office of Canal Commissioner—A choice of
wiliAt was confirmed at the polls in the Octo
ber Succeeding, by the significant majority of
over'eaventeen thousand votes.'
Since Judge Longstreth 'has ;been in 'tile
,Boatel of Canal Commissioners, be hatiVbeen
thrown, by the active discharge of his pnbliel
duties, in constant connection with great num
berir:of his fellow citizens. Friends grew up
aroind him daily. His manly frankness—his•
varied intelligence—his pleasing manners---
and {above all, his fearless advocacy of the
radical principles of Democracy—made his so
ciety both profitable and agreeable. During
his connection with the lamented Shrank, be
shared his fullest confidence. To no man would
tha; venerated patriot confide his views more
I freely, and to no man's counsel would he give
more attention. And when, prokrated by the!
diseisa which comtnered him at last, that fear-
less7republican, still cherishing the high prin,
reiples which have made his character a study
for ifter-times, would converse with no one !
morb freely upon the importance of a wise Go-
I vertiment, than with him who is now destined, I
in the order of things, to be his successor. It!
woUld have been remarkable had the result of
theStateConvention been different. hough!
tutt4rs were before'that able and imposing body
glen of sound intellect, tried experience, and
unflinching Democracy—men worthy of the
confidence and equal to all the emergencies of
the'State—the preference was for Morris Long
strith. We need not add that he will preserve
to the uttermost of his ability the high trust
whteh.-bits been reposed in his hands.

Judge LoNOSTRZTH is a practical farmer.
Frui! farm bears the marks not only of that care
ful industry which is the characteristic of the
I.
Petinsylvania husbandman, but, also, of that
, intelligent culture which is the result of a en
quifing and enterprizing mind. He is eminent
ly it n own among his neighbors for open-h9ded
libifyalitv, generous hospitality, strict and wre
protiplable morals and for that constant atten
tiotf to business, and those exemplary habits of
order, which are always the true elements of the
character fitted to govern the helm of State.
With this sketch of the Democratic
.1
, dath for Governor, the undersigned confidently
invoke the suffrages of the people of Pennkyi
vaiia in his behalf. They challenge the most
scrutinising comparison of hie political and toer
sonil character, with the political and persOnal
chi t racter of his competitor—assured that' the .
verdict must be, with all intelligent mett, as
• thiY believe it will be with the
, great majority
of illy electors in October, in favor of Mintus
, Loney:arra, the Farmer of Mofitirmiteit.
