sylyania. in letter 10 Col. Patterson,
published in the Noffislawn, Pa, Register,
states iha, ho has mel several aequaint
Anccs since the hallle nj Buena Vista, who
know Gen, Taylor 10 be democrat, and
who say that his laiher was one Of the
electors who gave The sole Of Virginia TO
Mr.. jefferson, aud thai he was tho per-
sonal and political friend of Gen. Jackson.
In this the Generals informant may be
mistaken; but even Il mol, we are satisfied
from information derived from the most
reliable sources. thai since then IA change

Bat il we disagree with The writer as 10
the character of Gen. faylof's polilics, we
heartily agree with him in the following
description OF tho old hero himself:


ale is simple ani uneslenlaiious as a
ohild--plain as pike slail--homely aud
unprclending--blava as GWsar, aud as de
latmned aud firm as adamant. lie has
strong good sense-he Is unofnamenlal,
bu, useful. Ills sense IS Of the east iron
kind, not shining. but solid, and altogether
practical. lie i the leasi snowy, unar,i.
lIeial general or subalietn that Is or ever
was in the American army. lie has a
power and an influence over men, whether
individuals OF armies, thai Is irresistible.
All around him have a consciousness Of
security aud safety, while he is with them.
II lie this moral power, this magic Of tho
mind, which made his four thousand men
superior 10 twenty thousand well disciplined
troops.


II / have moi, my dear sir, said enough
to convince you thai Gen. Taylor is a good
democrat, ofihe Jefl.rsonian, Snyder, Jack
SOU school, shall be glad to hear what
will make democrat.
