Sir The following letter torn Hon. D.
Wilmot, which, as we mentioned last Week,
was circulated by the Whigs ana Van Buren
men throughout our- entire con" , on the eve of
the late election, has been sent s, by a patron
friend in a remote part of t e county, ac
companied by a very urgent re nest that we
should publish it. Of course we have no mo
tive to refuse compliance with his request, and
especially as it was first sent forth by Mr. Wil
mot's own direction.
The note to the Editor enclosing the -letter
froin Mr. W. is quite spicy, and breathes a
good deal of indignation ; but tie no intimation
is given that the writer desires the publication
of that also, we do not suppose il intended, and
therefore, do not feel at - liberty to introduce it
and its anther to our readers. . With him of d '
course we iegrpt that Mr. Wilmot felt called onl
to send such a missive adrift among us ; but
further than. this we Itae nothing to say.—
Circrumatanoes may hare justified its publica
tion, in Mr. Wilmot's view, ana therefore we
forbear prejudging his motives. .

°WANDA, OCTOBER 30, 18 %.;.
On my return home last evening, ter an
absence of ten days ip the nelghb. ng State
of New York, I learned with Surprise, that ru
mors were rife over this State and doubtless
beyond its borders, calculated if allowed to go ,
uncontradicted, seriously to affect me in the
pUblic esteem. I find by letters received from
various parts of the State, as also from articles'
in the public press, to which my attention has
been called, that vide circulation has been giv
en to the report, that having succeeded in se
curing my own re-election, I ant now willing to
abandon the position I have heietofore
pied on the question of the Presidency. From
whatever source this emanated, or whatever ,
may, be the motive for giving it circulatiett it
is due, alike to truth, and' to my own reputa
4ion, that it should receive from me a prompt
and explicit denial. My views upon the ques
tion of the Ptesidency remain unchanged. I
stand now where I hove stood from the day I
heard of the nomination of Mr. l -Van Buren, at
Utica—his firm and uncompromising supporter.
To those friends who have so recently and
generously sustained me, in the trying and in
tensely
eiciting political conflict , just passed,
I am bound by an overwhelming sense of grati
tude. I know that a large proportion of those
Who gave me their suffrages, are the friends and
supporters of General Cass: They cannot feel
deeply ,upon any subject, without awaking in
my breast, strong emotions of sympathy. I
would do nothing to subject me to the, charge
of ingratitude, or that should give just grounds
of offence to those generous and magnanimous
friends; but my position upoli i the question of
I the Presidency was early taken, and has been, I
as it shall be, consistently raait,ained. In as
suming it, considerations of d ty 'done infin- . 1
enced me. The crisis, In• my judgment, de
mands firmness and, moral courage. The
friends of Freedom should stand firm, ur) the
ground they occupy, and in no respect conipro
rinse thceat movement in which 'they have
. .
deliberately embarked.
• Yours truly,
D. WILMOT.

suspense after that event speedily dissipa
ted. At twelve o' lock on the evening of 'the
great contest, - evert
vtiteFl of Philadelphia bad
the means of known:fit with comparative aeon
racy, who was to be tier-chief Bar:cativo of f icer
of the land. } However litfle we may be grati
fied at the *tilt, We rejoi that the. agony of
alternative hope sad fear was necessarily of
short duration.
He who Shall speculate} upon ,the meek of
;this result, need limey very little arrunetit to
satisfy, his own min or thit of his,reader. 4,
thousand interests—each animated by its iiwn
peculiar desire — each inititated by its own pe-
oilier grief are suddenly Organized,undertthe
banner of a hero whose. indefinite poeition Was
,seized as encouragetnent to those who wanted
1 but little; and whoconflipting opinions-could
be respectively takl
n to please conflicting fac
tions. The great Democratic Partylad ofFeed,
ed many of these intereste.--some by failini to
give them alethere . by refusing to Om
, promise its princip es—others by its boldire
e—i
pudiation of detecte traitors—and others, itill,
by being made to appear as the foe of certain
enterprises, for the special !protection of which
it is the fashion of our opppnents to believti all
government' has belen instituted among men.
Add to this beteregeneons combination, ',the
popular appetite for military glory, and it *ill
-be seen how vainly agaiest these odd was ;op
posed the forces of , the national Democracy.
In the fierce onset of the strife—begun in `cry
delirium, and waged under the excitement 4 a
thousand-hopes anal hatreds—the flag that. has
so long defied the battle anpi the breeze, is tem
porarily lowered, and the' eager and hungry le
gions of a Most mikeellantions opposition, 'find ,
themselves suddenly in possession of the gov
ernment. } ,
Such were the causes that contributed to'on:
controlled tire election of General Taylor. t
is folly to say thatn his elevation the : , try
will be elevated. It is ridiculous to ontend,
that his measures will maintain the ,rospiirity 1
of the country undhninished. !: : will go .nto

the most flatterin o our reputation as a pro

of our right and p and of our progress in:arts I

t i e
in-th: determivatio of the masses to takelcare
lof .emselves, bye ting able, enlightened and

fought well. That is his whole title to our re
-1.1
membrauce. Post rity- will look with wonder
}upon the fact that! he was selected alone be
cause
be was a ehccessful - warrior, and . the,
/
I struggling masses of the old world, will feel that ,
rthe light of the proild'exainple which has been
leading tb,-}m up to freedom, has been sadly:and
suddenly clouded, if not utterly extinguished.
;Without a. parallellin our' own history, it will,
be seized by our fries in Europe, and - held up I
before the public gaze as a mockery upori our I
claim to he the freest and most enlightene d !
people upon: earth. 1 .- What. } other solution_can
be given to it ? I
Fortunately, Gen ral Taylor's.utter indiffer
ence to (we will n t say ignorance of) presi
dential duties, or the most ordinary obligations
of the int elligent citizen, is in some respecteen
sistent with- the discordant opinions of his sop
, porters. If he can recommend no policy, they,
in all probability, will agree upon none. _Made
up of all the shredi of party, each inflated by'
the notion of his o n consequence as a larger
atom than his neig bor, ie achieving tko, late
result, there will n d bat}a very slight'Vpark
,to explode the whole concern. To expect har
mouy in an administration this constituted and
surn;unded—to expect any regular system ,of
measures from those whose faith Ips neither
1 begibning, middle, Or Ondwould be to expect
thatJ all the multitudes whb crowd the streets
of Paris or Lond4 should understand_ each
other's thoughts, or .unite, upon the instant, on
a single suggestion.' The }tongues that -Made
Babel roar with the din of discord, were not
more strange to' eac other, than are the opin
ions of the men whom eircauistances have just
hurled into: power.. li To psas over the distribu
-tion of office to these inxious waiters upon for
tunes, will lone be an effiwt of vast toil and'
trouble—an effort Which F ralisai has never
le
yet made Ifithoiit being y impaired hi the

like this is fitted to meet the grave ,responsi

It is amusing teleat" the eiliitestalibont Gen.

for him (and, these are not alew) openly claim
him as a no-party' man, and by no -*ens an

the " Discipline" of the Fnends exhorts them
to 'bear testimony against '‘lbearing arias-aud
other military exefeises," we presume' the .
Friends voted for Taylor as one who . wore a
broad-brimmed bat and a Shad-lelledroost, and
as the opponent of - all. the !mars of our race.
As Zachary Taylor is a, pertict Quaker in this
