AN AVAILABLE WHIG CANDIDATE.

 The Banner, of lhis city, is preparing a chance to retreat from the support of Gen. Taylor It says;

 ''We are not for sustaining any nan how ever elevated--however great in public esti- nation he may be, who declares himself hostile to the policy declared0s theirs by the great whig partyn

 Our neighbor does not state precisely what this whig policy IS. We suppose, however, that we cannot be far wrong If we infer that the editor wotfld be willing to agree with the Philadelphia North American. That paper says:

 1sWhoever IS presented by a Whig Con venIoii for the supper, of the country, must stand pledged to carry out whig principles to tire fullest extent He must be committed distinctly and unquestionabiy. We would not take candidate on any other terms

 s.lie mast be in favor of protecting smen- can industry. iu preference to the pauper h- Dor of Europe.

 ''He mast be opposed to the Subtreasury, .'iIe must be in favor of the distribution of the proceed of the Public Lands.

 "fle mast be in favor of the doctrine of lh- ternal Improvements

 '1lIe mnst be opposed to the acquisition Of Mexican territory west of the Rio Grande. This IS good whig doctrine in Pennsyya mia, and we presume that it wlllpass equally current here. If Gen. Taylor differs with on these measures, the Banner will no, have him. Gen. Taylor has not yet made any declaration of his principles, but, passing over all the above propositions bat the lssl we ask if any one can suppose him m favor Of that one' The whig candidate "Haa bs opposed 10 the acquisition of Mexican ter ritory west of the Rio Grande." Ia other words, our nation must be guilty oi tine dis graceful and absurd policy of Fetreating Iron territory won by the blood and treasure d our people, without acquiring the least secu ] rity or compensation for the wrongs we ha" endured ai the hands of Mexico, or for 'al just claims which she has wanlonly wlihhe'd from us. This leading whig test of policy we cannot believe, will be sustained, by e'ea respectable portion of the conledersey, and it will certainly be repudiated by Ges Taylor. If Mexico has not the money le pay us our ziss daes, and nobody consends she has, why have we crossed the Ro Grande with ous army, snd why push on our troops, gainins victory after victory we are determined 10 ask no indemIHF Why not at once withdraw every AiDeflc'a from her territory, and content ourselsa with the bleed and treasure we will have @ foolishly, SO useiessiy, and so wiekedi' thrown away Not only will Gen fayi@ repDdiaie il, but the American people N feel satisfied, will not listen to sseh nor s slfoas proposition, and no party ad''eaups < is can, for one moment, hope to gam a'' voice of thai people. The nation will insl' upon the acquisition of an equitable P'fu9S of Mexican teFsilory, to indemnhy our !" penses, and pablie and private wrongs, .s | If, then, one of the wbig principles which ibe Banner Is pledged eonsisis lh v < posing the acquisition of territory west o oa, Rio Grande, Gen. Taylor wall not do i0' DD candidate of it's party.
