general taylor was selected and is supported as the standard bearer of the whigs not on account of his military ser vices but for his high and ennobling mor al qualities the mexican war has been the occasion not the cause of his popu larity it is not because he is brave as caesar that the people love him it is not because on the battle fields of mexico be has displayed a cool determined antl in vincible courage which wrung victory from all lhe elements of defeat and by his gallantry and heroic conduct confer red new and lasting renown upon our na tional arms that his fellow citizens most honor him no ; it is not tbat successful war has bound upon his brow the undy ing chaplet and encircled his name with imperishable glory and given him a fame world-wide and immortal as his country's history — which the proudest conquerors of other times and other lands might en vy — that has won most upon the hearts of his countrymen it is not for his military services tor bisgreat and glorious achieve ments at fort harrison or in florida and on the hard-fought battle fields of mexico which no patriotic american can in his heart feci otherwise lhan proud of that the whigs rally around that heroic old man rut it is because in his late brill iant career as well as in every act of his life general taylor has exhibited never failing good sense — unerring sound judg ment — great decision and inflexible firm ness of character : it is because truth justice integrity fidelity and a noble gen erosity illustrate and mark his whole pub lic course and private character ; it is be cause he has ever shown a paternal care for the lives and safety of his own soldiers and after the battle was won great hu manity for the wounded soldiers of lhe en emy and generously spared helpless and unoffending women and children as much as possible and more than the less hu mane and hard-hearted men in power at washington approved from the horrors and misfortunes of war — it is because his remarkable simplicity qf manners and un affectcd modesty which remain unshaken amidst the thundering shouts of an admir ing people point him out as one of the few great men who can stand npon the heights of place and power without be ing made giddy by the dangerous eleva tion — prove him to be a safe depository of official trust and possessed of that more than roman virtue which can withstand the intrigues and corruptions of the capi tal ; it is these great and truly ennobling moral qualities showing him to be a gen erous wist . honest and patriotic man — more than all the splendor of his martial victories — that has given zachary taylor such a strong hold upon the popular con fidence and has prompted the sovereign people to summon him from his quiet cot tage retreat on the banks of the missis sippi to preside in the high councils of his country these great moral qualities and much admired traits in the character of gen taylor have it is true burst upon the countrv amidst the roar of cannon and the clash of arms they have been brought out info public action and to the public view by the stirring scenes and exciting circumstances of war this is however no uncommon occurrence war although one ofthe greatest calamities which can afflict any nation and to be avoided al ways when it can be without dishonor has through all time and in all countries had lhe effect to excite and devolop a na tion's energies — lo arouse and stimulate the slumbering patriotism of the people — - to quicken the public pulse — to warm lhe popular feeling into a high and generous enthusiasm — to bring into more active ex ercise and under the public eye the high moral as well as military qualities of the great men of the republic it is not in the calm and slugglish times of peace when the surface of society is as tranquil and unrullletl as a halcyon sea that great men suddenly emerge into high promi nence and assume positions which attract the fullest observation of the whole peo ple it is in the stormy periods of war and in times of great national exigency that those strong and lion-hearted men a rise who startle the world by the power of their genius or attract its admiration by the sublimity of their patriotism and stamp the imperishable impress of their great minds upon the character and des tinies of nations had it not been for our revolutionary war george washington would in all probability have remained through life in the very humble sphere of an accurate and useful surveyor on the western lands of virginia — with a very limited reputation of a brave and skilful colonel of state militia ; alexander ham ilton would bave doubtless been a very respectable member of the xew york bar and nathaniel greene a very industrious and worthy blacksmith in a quiet and pleasant village of east greenwich ; but the very great traits of character the no ble and elevated qualities of mind and heart for wliich ihey were so much dis tinguished as public men were elicited anil brought under the national eye by the presentment of that great theatre upon which they were called to act so conspic uous a part had it not been for the cir cumstances of the country and the exci ting struggle for national independence wliich •• trietl men's souls those great men might havegonedown to their graves as thousands in ail ages and climes of kindred souls and equal genius have done — unhonored and unsung the remark therefore which we hear so often made by his opponents that • had it not been for the mexican war general taylor wonld not have been thought of tor tht preside nc may be perfectly true and still no good reason againsi his eleva tion fo that high oflice mad tho true character and the extraordinary qualities of head and heart possessed alike by gen washington and general taylor re mained forever unknown to their country men or had no occasion arisen of suffi cient public interest to excite and bring out to the knowledge of the whole people those extraordinary qualities which all must admit them both to have previously possessed neither of these truly great men " would have been thought of for the pre sidency that high office however was none the less deserved because war was in both instances the occasion of de veloping those great moral qualities which more than all else attracted the admiration of their countrymen antl quali fy men for successful civil liule in this connection it is a subject of some consolation that the unnecessaay and ex pensive war in which the present nation al administration has involved the coun try after all the embarrassment which it has caused to some of the great interests of the country and the lasting moral evils which it has inflicted upon both belliger ent nations is likely to have some good final results it has been the occasion of making the merits and true character of gen taylor known to the whole ameri can people it has given to the whig party the most popular candidate for the , presidency since the second election of washington if ever public wrong visited upon its authors a speedy retributive jus tice it promises to do so upon the heads of hose who got up the late mexican war the two objects which the men in power ' at washington had most al heart on the 5th of march 1815 were the substitution of a low revenue tariff for the protective tariff of 1842 and the perpetuation of power in the hands of their own political patty after the 5th of march is ii the mexican war which president polk wrongfully and unconstitutionally commenced without consulting or advis ing with either house of congress then in session at washington to whom by the constitution is entrusted the war-making power besides very largely increasing the ordinary expenses of the government by making it necessary to support a large number of new officers and keep up a large standing army for the protection of the recently acquired territory has involv ed the country in a new national debt of some one hundred and fifty millions of dollars which will require a high tantl for years to extinguish and in the pros ecution of that war the present admin istration has raised up a presidential can ditlate for their political opponents who wiil be as invincible at lhe ballot box as he has ever been when exposed to the balls and bayonets of his country's ene mies in the held true it is that the weak instruments in the hands of an over ruling providence at washington did not design such a result and when they found that all the glory ofthe war was enuring lo the benefit of the two whig generals it is equally true that they did all in their power to embarrass degrade and break them down they did this while the en emy was in overwhelming numbers in the field against them and these efforts — giving aid and comfort to lhe enemy — to degrade and break them down seemed to he just in proportion as ihese brave men were successful in subduing their country's foe if president polk had at the commencement of that war entered into a league with gen santa anna not only to give him " a free pass into mex ico to lead her armed legions against us but had agreed that just in proportion as taylor and scott should whip him to de grade and break down these victorious leaders of the american army he could not have taken a course which would have more faithfully performed the terms of the bond than he has done put these brave whig generals having had to en counter a savage enemy in front and a still more malignant enemy in the rear have at last '* conuuered a peace for their country — extract from the address of the rhode island whig state convention rufus choate's opinion the following is an extract from the speech of that distinguished man rufus clioafe delivered before the massachu setts whig convention now mr president i beg to say a sin gle word in this hurried and desultory manner without arrangement and with out preparation on another topic and that is the personal qualifications of general zachary taylor lor lhat great office to which we propose to carry him i felt it incumbent upon me when ihat nomina tion was made to study the subject to the best of my ability i will not say reluctant or incredulous but with the best lights to study that practical subject and i now avow my belief it signifies nothing but i am proud to unite with you in the avowal ol that belief — tbat in his mere personal qualifications i believe we have the guar antee of an administration as honest,qui et and national as that which has cast such a glory upon the unapproachable name of wasuixctox applause sir to say that gen zachary taylor is a great and patriotic man is to say noth ing martin van buren might say lhat of him aid he has said as much again as

actly the kind you seek in the presiden tial chair i believe from ail the evi dence to which i have access lhat he is thorough and quick iu his discernment of men — reading character accurately can didly and instantaneously 1 believe that he possesses in an extraordinary degree sense judgment solid and strong qualities of mind of the old roger sherman and george washington model 1 understand him to be a thorough man of business in the best and largest accep tance of that term — administering a large estate and great fortune with as much ability as a florida or mexican campaign again from his youth up — from the time he took up arms in the service of his country — he has hail an unequivocal proof of a superior character in the confidence he in spires and the profound deference he re ceives without exacting it from every hu man being who comes within his reach add to that the kindness of his heart — kind as nelson's kind as woman's — and that tolerant humanity and honestly in corruptible which he who knows him would think no more of assailing than of putting himself within the range of all the battlements of monterey or the whirl winds of the gulf all tbe world may look upon him and say here rs a man ! i hear it asked whether he has the re quisite degree of political information and experience in public affairs sir i can not help believing that general zachary taylor is destined in the hands of provi dence to illustrate the truth of that re mark of lhat great observer edmund burke : — ' 1 have many times taken notice that men not professionally trained in the details of public ofiice yet when called into great stal ions have by lhe mere force of simple discretion conducted the affairs of nations with distinguished felicity and glory i expect the illustration of that remark in the eight or four years o'f the administration of gen zachary taylor all his life long he litis served his country in a department of the general govern ment enlarging and elevating him above the influences of mere politics all his life long now front his youth to somewhat past middle age the riper time of man's life he has been an observer of the for tunes the policy and the interests of the general government all his life long he has been an equal associate with those great scenes : in all his interests of lei sun in his winter evenings his furloughs his retirements from the sharper services of the camp be has been an observer a student and a thinker upon the great na tional interests of the land he has learn ed them sir as julius caesar learned as tronomy in the camp for all these reasons i observe in him exactly the ability you expect from t in chief magistrate ol the land he is not to conduct our diplomatic correspondence with ail the world ; he is not to settle mat ters ol international jurisprudence ; he is to execute firmly humanely and steadily the laws of the land which congress pre scribes he is lo appoint honest and in corruptible men to public office he is to hold a steady hand between ihis nation and foreign nations observing honorable peace and avoiding entangling alliances with all in all this i may be permitted to say — i hope without extravagance — lhat i have ihe honor to regard him this day in comparison with any public ame rican preeminently qualified for the sta tion to which we call him i at least would rather give the flag of my country into the hands of a man that carried it among the living and the dead up the steeps ot monterey and against the tre mendous odds at buena vista than en trust it to that man of kinkerhook
