FOR PRKSIDRRT OF tH UNITED STATES,
OEN. ZACHAItY TAYLOR,
TilK COUNTRY'S CHOICB. i
GEN.TAYLOR THE PRESIDENCY.
The following remarks of that sterling
Whig paper the Baltimore American, ap
ply so forcibly nnd filly to North Carolina,
as well as to Mary land, and speak our own
sentiments so clearly, that we beg leave to
adopt them as our own,' and recommend
them to the careftil consideration of every
friend of Gen. TAYLOR in this Slate .un-.
!V'deiMWdSeT
call upon his friends in; every county to
meet forthwith, organize, and commence
action vigorout, pereevering and efficient
actio. It should be no longer delayed.
We will here add that we are proud to,
see such an able, patriotic mod jad'tfious
journal as the American eominf oot so de
cidedly and boldly in support of the coun
try's choice the people's candidate for
the Presidency. ? .
The time seems to be at hand when the
friends of Gen. Taylor, in Maryland, should
take. some decisive steps to give form to
their feelings and views in ki .behalf, and
prepare, by a suitable organisation, the
means of acting with unity and effect.
The indication which have been given
already of the popularity f Gen. Taylor
in Maryland, furnish a satisfactory assur
ance, we think, that he is, by large odds,
the first choice of this State? for the next
Presidency. ..... -' A.' ,
There is further evidence, we, flunk, that
this popularity is not of P a capricious or
transient sort; but that it emanates from a
profound conviction of the sterling qualities
of the man; from a confidence in his integ
rity, judgment and moderation; from a sin
cere belief, indeed, that he is, at tliis June
tare admirably fitted to allay dangerous
animosities, to harmonize eon Tiding ten
. dencies, and to discharge the d ities of the
FresidcntiaJ office in accordance with : the
' spirit of the Constitution nnd with the true
interests and glory of the Republic. , . A
, It is notour purpose, however, to enlarge
upon the personal qualities of Gen. Taylor.
Laudation is out of place, when the grave
responsibilities of the Chief Magistracy of
this great country are to be considered.
Such as Jen. Taylor is the people know
him; and-taking him as he is we believe
they are satisfied with him - His greatness
is their own discovery; for he has long been
a great man, without knowing it himself. 1
The position which Gen. Taylor holds
in reference to the Presidency, since the
public use of his name in connection with
that office-has made it necceesary for him
to declare" his position, is one which, no
other man in die whole eountry could, ven
ture properly to assume. It is the best of
all positions when the man is found- who
can take it "-otherwise, the most ridiculous.
For the first time since the days ol Wash
inuton tho man is recognized. "Should
it beeome7inevit;My necessary lor me,"
"aid the first President, n 1788, "to go in
to the chair of Government, have detcr
d to iro free from all poiti??:
wien.'s of'eeery .?.' v luttaocver, ' that
I may be at liberty to act tvifh a sole fcj
trench to justice anil to the public pood."
Such was tho truthful language of Wash- 1
tsoTOJf, Iti iis if Gen. Taylor's
declarations tome saraa e; fleet do not bear
tho impress if a simitar dignity: "I can
only sa with s pudour,! remarks the
victor of the KiO Grande, "that if eleoted
to that (the presidential) office, it must be
by the spontaneous will of tho people at
large, and without agency or' pledge on my
part in any particular. If I. ever fill that
high office, U mutt be untrammefed with
parly oblignthnt winter ef my kind,
mhI under none but thote which , the, ton
MUution and (he high interettt of , the na
tion at lare i-'fljf ictloytty and tolcmnly
' GetuTaTLOfc edJrthat he don Tvt
sire me rresiuency; ana witn mm mouesty
which forms an clement of the unaffected
sincerity" and 'simplicity'4 of the' man, lie
declares his belief that there are others far
better fitted for the office . than himself. It
is not to a mind of this sort, so unambitious
yet so replete with its own greatness as to
hold external distinctions in rather slight
appreciation a mind which has been ac
customed to rest upon its own convictions
and to find its highest satisfaction in the
consciousness of duties well performed
it is not to such a mind that humiliating
terms may be proposed or restrictive pledges
exacted as the sacrifice to be made for offi
cial elevation. ' The responsibilities of the
Presidential office are, no doubt, in Gen.
Taylor's estimation, quite an equivalent
for the honors of the place. And, tn truth.
it is not to be denied that the incumbent of
thai high station who worthily discharges
the functions pertaining to it, confers upon
the country a much greater favor than he
received when it raised him to the post.
It may be oreed, however, in some quar
ters, that Gen.. Taylor's late avowals of
Whig predilections have taken away from
his position the characteristic of indepen
dence, in respect to parties, which marked
it at first. A moment's reflection will
show that this assump:hn is founded in a
mistake. . It his been known from the
beginning that Gen. .Taylor's political
views were usually in accordance with
those of the Whigs, and that his preferences
in favor of Mr. Clay for the Presidency
in 1844 were strong and decided. The
Administration recognized this fact in their
persecutions of Gen. Taylor. Throngh
out the last session of Congress, from the
time when the President's Message omitted
all mention of the hero's name, to the period
of the failure of the last effort to put a Licu-tenant-General
over him, including the
unmanly attempt to smuggle a vote of cen
sure upon him through the two Houses,
there wire indications of f&ciint signifi
cance to prove beyond all doubt the hos
tility of the Administration, and its ultra
partizans, towards the brave man who had
saved them from disgrace and the country
from disaster. '
There has never been, then, we repeat
it, any good reason to suppose otherwise
than that Genl. Taylor was politically
inclined towards the Whigs. But what
then! It would be a strange thing for any
man in this country, possessed of ordinary
intelligence, to grow to be fifty years old or
more without having some political pre
possessions, uen. 1 aylor is no politi
cian, he has never been one, he hat. never
voted at all. He is unwilling to be regard-.
refuses to be a candidate. If he has been,
in bis political preferences, a Whig, that
has been aa incident of his character not
its Prominent feature, which is one of com
prehensive and patriotic regard for the
hole country , lie lias been a Wliig
and something more. Those who are per-1
titans and nothing more than partizans, ,
may not easily understand this. ,;
. The public mind, however, is not likely
to trouble itself on this point. When Gen.
Taylor declares that he will not be a par
tisan candidate, and that if he goes into the
Presidency it must be without party pledges
or pledges of any-kind, aave snchras; the
constitution embodies in the official oath,
when he says this, in the plain language of1
sincerity and troth, the People will be apt
to take him at hit word, to believe him, to
ask no other guarantee; for, he is just the
man to say this and be believed. ,
It is not often that we task ear readers,
oronrselvesby long5 articles in those col
umns. But it is not often that we have a
Presidential nomination to announce under
sueh circumstances as those which mark
this present occasion. If once in a quarter
of a century, a new epoch is born, as a
phcBnix-like emanation from, the ashes of
old issues, and the time comes when it is
proper that the dead should bury their dead, j
it is becoming to pause ' and devote some
moments to reflection, while, in the still
ness of partizaa emotions, we may give tip
our hearts and minds to the higher senti
ment of an mil comprehensive patriotism,
to the contemplation of our country in the
grand proportions of its greatness and des
tiny. !
With regard, then, to former issnes. we
have here briefly to express the conviction
that the questions which hare for some
years past divided the two great parties
take, for exampple, those relating to the
currency and the tariff must assume, when
they again acquire prominence, new mod
ifications. . The next great commercial
revulsion may be expected to bring up the
currency question; or experience, 'without
any great revulsion, may demonstrate . the
necessity .of a substitute for the Sub-Treasury.
But whenever the question re-appears
it will come with its own lights, re
flected from new points of view. ' In point
of principle the essential thing involved is
the constitutional power ana duty ol Hie
General Government to uko measures of
regulation and control over the currency;
and in point of fact both parties virtually
concede this. For while the advocates of
the Sub-Treasury boast, somewhat Vainly,
ndecd, that the Government is separated
from, Banks, they also boast that a
wholesome cv'W01 w "ercweu uy m ac
tion of the SuB-Trt'y ?e' the gnenl
circulation of the country . . ooe 01 in
arguments in favor of this insuJ"; '"Ua
cious or not as the care may be, that.! tends
o 'check.' over-issues ' on l"e partof t
Banks, and to keep them, more than they
would be otherwise kept, within the lines!
of a safe business. -
The essential principle t involved in the
Tariff is in like manner recognized by both
parties;f)Piscrlminatioa , in the. rates of
duties, at the discretion of the Government,
may be ealled discrimination lor revenue,
or it may be called, discrimination for pro.
Mcq'ion. j.JJy whatever name ,11.1a caiicu,
arotetti$ tit ruvtf , Ani in point of
; cl jne taj oJLJ840 involve- protective
discrimination as decidedly its did the Tar-
Itl of I9i2. The -question, ss it now
stands, is one of degree only. The .Tariff
sam". a'' ik
01 ib was in our judgment a betti-r Tar-
iu man me present one, because jt was
frank in iu ai nounccment of the protective
principle, and embodied the important res
tores of minimum and the home valuation.
The present Tariff Is protective also; but
it is so less distinctly, less assuredly and
less extensively, j
But without comparing , these two Tar
iffs, which it as notour purpose to do, nor
to analyze minutely any of the special
questions which have of late years formed
matter of political contention, the point to
be mainly regarded is , this : That in die
present aspect of parties and party ques
tions, when ultraisin on sany of the old
issues is out of place, and new circumstan
ces of modification are continually arising,
it is chiefly important to have a man at
die head of the Government, not to pledge
himself in advance upon issnes which every
dav's events mav vary, but a man of such
judgment, firmness and . honesty, that he
may be trusted to act patriotically snd wise
ly in hny emergency whenever the emer
gency shall come. If Gen.' Taylor had
been questimed before he crossed the Rio
Grande aa to his opinions concerning die
campaign, then approaching, he would not
have been able to speak very definitely of
the battle of Buena Vista. But when the
battle came he was Were and that was
sufficient
So when other battles shall come, in
volving great national interests, or, it may be,
the integrity of the Union, the presence of
Gen. Taylor at the head of the Govern
ment, with that calm serenity and undis
mayed spirit which have given assurance
of victory on other fields, will infuse con
fidence throughout die country everywhere
that all must go well.
Finally, nd t any rate", we gather from
the indications in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Georgia,' Pennsylvania, and other States
that Gen. Taylor is unquestionably in the
field. Ho has not made himself a candi
date for the Presidency; the People have
done it. He has announced the terras up
on which he will stand, and those terms
are accepted. Gen Taylor is an the field;
he will not - withdraw nor be wUhdrawnx
for he never retreat if he never turrendert.
1 lie People who have called nn to his
position will sustain him, there.. They
claim him as their own. Conventions may
recognize, but they cannot appropriate him.
Georoe Washington is now to have a
successor. .

The mode in which Electoral Ticket

of delegates is called to meet at Frankr
