If seen fren. near point or Ttew he is like to tht s'atue of th Father ofttbe eoohtry from tlie'chisel of Oreenonghan embodiment of a man wilhout blemish.' - The corner stone of Zaehary Taylor's character ia houtnly. Every other atone in the structure 1a out of the quairy of ,pur,;raorlitoua1i.;. aWe, Of. value.-. Honesty is the source, whence all the pur poses of his life spring; the channel along which tney now; tneaet to which they hurry their waters, as with the thoug his, wokIs and deeds of Washington, so with those of Taylor no man can mistake their origin. They are - the emsnstions of pore mind,, baring no object in view but the public good; and about what onsu tuies the public good honesty never eavila, never disputes never hesitates. This grand moral principle in the heart of man is like ehsrity. It racogniwse as quickly what the public good is as the latter princi ple puick to recognise our neighbor. Tay.

Devoid in slmost a superhuman d rree of the stimulus of personal ambition or if lie possesses it suecemnl like Washington in suppressing its" Influence upon Lis thoughts, words or actions, Taylor pre sents, in bis person and in his deeds. a glorious example of the vslue' which a truly humM and honest m u to the sgi in which he lives; for without honesty, there cannot be humility, and Taylor, as well at Washington, has show the truth of this philosophy? . " ;: Honesty in ail age, has been iueily regarded as the parent of all the human virtues, and IT a' rain be Seen to- posers in a large degree these virtues, he is sure to be set down as an honest man and correctly too.' Vices can . never be th offspring of honesty, any mare thaw a limpid fountain ran pour forth muddy waters- In honest Zabarr Taylor is found not one of the hu man virtues absent. They abound as the sands of tho sea shore abound. - They cluster amund his brow in rich profusion. In his intercourse with men he is juat, merciful, generous, kind and forgiving. In tbs discharge of flit duties, ha is firm steady patient, persevering. I a his personal bearing ho is modest,-accessible, frank. Si. high is hia reputation tor justice, (hat men have been known to prefer Zaehary Taylor's voluntary op;nioa upon adispuled point to the decision of a retularlv consti tuted tribunal in the premises. His tend er hesr'rdness is as proverbial as hia love of justice, and sheds a halo around all hia actions, even when duty demands that its promptings shall be silenced, He has a a kind word for all and lor - him injuries are written in water. To wish, well and to do well to his fellow creatures art tho prima purposes of Zaehary Taylor's heart and hia whole life has been one example ofgeneroity sod benevolence. .His cour age it of the very highest der; not mere-, ly physic! but mental and moral. The courage to do evil to do wrpng to do injus tice ho has now but has coiirage to do well ldo right. It is the courage of honesty. Hence it is never alarmed never trembles never knows fear, never can be Seduced by promises of favor It ta a courage that is no respecter of pei sons, .'. l is a courage that never 'Shrinks irom responsibility, XVit'l ; bumili'y always goet eWblieity of manners' Taylor is ' an exception to this rule, .Hie simplicity ot "-.snnert it the admiration of all and it is furthers! denee of the presence of gtsst viitaea, aithonl which it, cannot exist to any ex tent in any individuah An num. ble mae regards .bit. fellow, maO at his equal and is acceesiMs lo all alike- This is Taylor's role, of action. There is a' charm about hia whole pfronat"denn'rtmeht. that Invariably excites respect and love la those who are nro'r into contact ' with ' aim. - This charm, which ia lh legitimate opera tion of sq many virtues centred in one man.

These plants esndol flourish in birren soil. Siren intellect is necssarr to their crowth and dsvelopmont. Nor will they grow and develope themselves nnless the intellect be cultivated, and cultivated diligently. These truths are verified In the person of Zaehary Taylor. Hia intel Inet is of the highest order. He has cul tivated it with gieat assiduity, and it has proved to be a rsuul field to the possosv sor. bvery seed sown ,w it has brought forth a virorous plant that has rrown rapidly and yielded rich fruit. The pow ers of his wind jire qual in every re spect to his moral auributes. They stand side by side in their glory.
