Tho foolisli and contemptiblft idea of putting into the same Presidential ticket the names of men so eceedingly dissimüar as Convin and Taylor, is ttiusshown up in tbc Washington Uuiun, the Goveinment paper : "The National VVhig, a Federal paprr, establiched in this city, willi n special viovv, we understind, to the nexl Presidential canvass, lias nctually placed upon the same presidential ticket the nannfi of Zachary Taylor, of Louisana, lor President, ;ind the name of Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, fop Vice President ' - The heart of the country wül sioken with with loaihing ut an insult like this to its veteran soldier. Tho lurpilude of the proceeding is unspeakable. Corwin, the abolitioni'.t, by the side of Taylor, tlie southern plante' ; Corwin, whose tawdry and faceüoua rhetoric grew drunk in the fury of its dcnuncialioin üfpur baltles in Mexico, as tnurdèrers, side by side with Taylor, whose liigh renown is, thnt hc won those battles for h;s country ! Corwin the Senator, so patriolic tint he woukl not vote "one dollar"to sUïtain tho war, and would at once recaí our gallant army from beyond the Rio Grande, in ignominons failure and disgrace, now placed sitio by side on the same ticket with Tayloi, who, at the head of his volunteers, rushed forward from Saltillo to grnpple with Santa Anna against fourfold odJs, in the hlood slained defiles of Buena VMa ! AH that is noble, al! that is manly, all that is prourl, all t' at is patriotic, all that is soldier like in the character of Gen. Taylor, imist trarnple with ulter scorn upon the base atternplof sordid and unprincipled office mongers to force ipon him, for the menncst ends of partnership, such an nssocialion and such on alliance. And yet the ottempt, dious as it is, will not be without its uses. It must show Gen. Taylr how federal fací ion rpgards him, what use it sreks to make of his glory."
