the branch Of our vine," for more than hall
century y-and all in the presence Of the evil
of human slavery. We have risen from a
small family TO a mighty nation Of twenty
millions Of people in the presence of this ter
rbe evil. Shall it be said, nay, is it possible,
that the present generation is not capable OF
perpeluating the Liberties transmitted 10 il, be-
cause the evil Of slavery continues to exist ia
the Republics Shall il be said. that we are
incapable Of managing the question Of acquir-
ing free territory from the public enemy, be-
cause part of il borders upon the slave States
Shall the evil ofsIavery, when it is at the pre-
sent time far less in every respect than it was
fifty years ago, now sunder our glorious Union,
upon the question, whether il shall be planted
in territory that is already inhabited by free
people, if any of that territory should be ac-
quired 2 Is the wisdom of6our ancestors all
buried with them in their graves2 God for
bid Indeed, what in the beginning OF this
Presidential war appeared 10 us huge cloud
overshadowing the whole heavens, has gradu


ally disappeared as the name and fame and
glory Of Zachary Taylor have risen. AT one

The Wing people with one accord are rallying
around a chief whose whole life, whose whole
character are pledge that he will make con-
sdtutional President. The Democracy TOO are
bursting The bands Of ancient associations, and
focking to his standard. e Aa
He will make a President who will not sill
himself above the Constitution but beneath il.
He will be governed in his administrations Of
the laws and the execution OF the Constitution
by their paragraphs" by his own will.
Such a President the country wants in the cri-
SIS which awaits il in l849, and such one il
will get, as sure as the sun shines, for God has
not deserted us in our need.


If the Mexican question be not settled ill
I849. General Taylor is the man of all others
TO preside over us, and guide the helm of State
Every Wing in the country would have conf
dence in Henry Clay, if he were President
when the territorial and slave questions should
come up. Henry Clay has confidence in Gen.
Taylor in such a crisis, unbounded confidence
in him. What more do the Wings OF the
North want? If they want more, let them
wait ill Taylor himself shall speak, but they
| will not wait till then. The rushing multtudes
are bearing the good old man 10 the Presidency
on uplfied shoulders, and the Wings of the
North, are too much Americans not to unite
heart and hand in the elevation of SO pure a
patriot, SO sound Wing.
