Gen. Taylor is a Man of great Abilities.
His whole military life gave evidence
of this. He never committed a blunder,
or lost a battle. Thereis not another man
in the army who would have fought the
battle of Buena Y r ista but Gen. Taylor,
and not another man would have won it.
Examine the whole history, of hisi ex
ploits, in all their details and you see
the evidence of far-reaching sagacity
and great ability.
Gen. Taylor is a Man of Learning.
Not mere scholastic learning—he has
never graduated at a college—but his
mind is richly stored with that practi
cal knowledge, which is acquired fPom
both men and books. He is a deeply
read man, in alt ancient and modern his
tory, and in nil matters relating to-the
practical duties of life, civil and milita
ry. He is intimate with Plutarch, said

Mr. Underwood of Kentucky, asked

Mr. Wise “asked that the House would

with the distinct understanding, that
whether the House excused him or no,
he should not vote. His reasons for

inherent in the resolutions themselves.'

so far,as to say, “ that MillarU Fillmore,

His humanity, kindness, and simplicity
of character, had won for him the love
of his soldiers. He never kept a guard
around h : s tent, or any pomp or parade.
He trusted his soldiers, and they trusted
and loved him in return. Not a drop
of his soldiers* blood was shed by him,
during the campaign. All the blood
shed under his direction was shed in
battle. We hear of no military execu
tions—no judicial shedding of blood.—
His heart moved to human woe, and he
further, it was not censurable—one'of
his chief seasons why he botild not vote'
ou these resolufons, was, that they were
a trap—a trap for the South. ., .
Mr..Tennefer of Maryland, “briefly
stated his reasons why he desired hot
to vote on the resolutions—-They were
intended to affect the rights of the slave-'
holding States, and the representatives
from the South have had no opporturti-
ty to examine them. A proposition to
print has been refused, and an opportu
nity to examine denied. From what
can be inferred from the speech of the
mover, who called for the previous ques
tion immediately after, the South have
reason to believe, that some sinister ob-:
jeet is intended. We of the South can
not be heard in defence of our rights—
vi. t v .1. i
I therefore, (said Mr. J.) do not intend
upon a question, sprung uport
us without notice,coming from a source
which wc should distrust, denied the
right to examine, the privilege of seeing
in print a matter which may negatively
or affirmatively affect pur most impor
tant interests, and we cannqt bo heard.
I decl ine to vole for another reason, which
is, th/ii those resolutions nre now forced
upon us, not for the purpose of allaying
the excitement upon this most import
taut question as regards Southern inter
est s, butfur political purposes'*
