We notice with no little surprise yesterta, the name of Gen. Zachary Taylor figuring a , the head of the Bulletin as candidate fol the presidency, subject 10 tAe decision of ( strhig nationat conuention. This appropria. ] ton of Gen. Taylor's name for party pur- poses ,ee kraow is without the sanction oI that distinguished commander and coalrar, sto his cishes. It is not only against hi.

 wishes but il is rcpugnant to the feelings and views of his peculiar friends; and in. Uni. category we include the immediate family ol fGen. Taylor and such of his confidential as. 5sociates as best know his purposes.

 But apart from the individual wishes of . Gen. Taylor and the desires of his peeulia. friends m this connection, we do protest against any such absorption Of great name by any political party. More especially do we protest against it whilst he is the great captain of tue nation, leading whig and democrat alike to victory and reaping the undivided applause Of tie whole people.

 Nor can we see what good can come of . this sudden and unauthorized proceeding. Il can but produce evil--eyll to the country hurt to the army and modification to Gen Taylor himself Imagine for a moment that Gen. Taylor is recognised as the whig can- didate for the presidency; that, thus regarded

Should the whig press glorify the triumphs of Ameri- can arms as the achievement of party Should the people be divided in two classes and meet in distinct and hostile assemblages ! to rejoice over battles that should be respon- lded 10 by grateful and undivided hearts Would the Bulletin have the democratic par |ty join with il and it's friends in glorifyipg their candidate for the presidencys Or would our neighbor have the democratic |party celebrate the achievements of the ar- my with psoviso that they are not to oe understood as approving Gen. Taylor's nom- nation to the presidency Or would he see |,he whigs mix up their patriotic enthusiasm, wish the alloy of purely party lubila,ioa Such will be the natural effect of the move meut just made, fl i. have any effect what lever. And the eyes of the country will be burned to Mexico--she whigs to descry what good thing fos them has been accomplish led there by an army composed of wings and democrats; and the democrats to hope for results which may do lhem harm as a party. If she lead of the Bulletin Is followed by the whig press generally, the democrats will be- leone lukewarm in their applause of Gen. |Taylor or swell the anthem of an antagonist |pariy. Neither of these alternatives is tle- |sirable. The first would be preiudicial 10 |,hc interests of the army the other would be
