Whole No, 5061, [= NEW YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 7. 1848. THE NEW YORK HERA ‘aylor Meetin Lafayette Hall, Tle friends of General ‘Tayler, favorable to his nomination as a candidate for the next Presi- deney, held a meeting last evening in Lafayette Hal, General Lamb in the chuir, and Mr. Geo W. Blunt acting as secretary. After the call of the mecting wes read, Mr. Raraonp was called upon, ond sald that he dia ome prapored to make an ¢laborate speech, and jodeed he did not suppose that it was contemplated there would be much king on the occasion We , said he, under an errapgement made by eoted br the citizens at an adjourned meeting. for the purpose of procuring an union of pub- lic sentiment in favor of General ‘Taylor as & candidate for the next Presidency of the United States. It wav but recently thot bis name has been mentioned; but nts which haveoccurred within © short period, have put him forth more prominently than any other man who has beem named for that eliuation, General Taylor has been known through fife as one de- voted to the public service When mere atriplin; ho left the quiot of private life and engaged in the pub- lic service in the army of the United States. Known by no array of influential friends,known by no distinguiab- ed family connections, a mere stripling. stimulated by ardor aud patriotiem for the service of his country, h- embarked in the puble service et a critical period in the history of the couviry.

In that fierce and glorious struggle, was developed the individual who was subsequently te lead our armies to victory, and to carry our flag through scenes the most trying that were ever experienced. From that period to the pre. sent, he has constantly continued in the service of his be *pending years and years away from home. away from the comforts of domestic associations, stimu: lated only by his acdor for the public service, and sus- tnined by e noble consciousness of duty. We find him in the mos: responsible positions °n the fron where he was charged with maintaining peacoful rel: tions.

His life passed on in comparative quiet in a military point of view, until our relations with Mexico found him in comman of and army. and then those distinguished quslidcations of mind | and character, ware fully devsioped before the country ‘We fiad « trackling administration at home. seeking to accumulate political capitel, and hardly possessing « consciousness of right and wrong—wishivg to an open rupture with o neighboring power, e time endeavoring by every means in its power te hasten s rupture.

No oxe is seen to cppose his march—asmall bacd is left in oharge of Fort Brown, to maintain that position, while heendeavored to keep open the communications with another point. He goes to Point Isabel aad makes arrangements to return to Fort Brown. With seventeen or eighteea huadred uatried men under his command, be fiads bims surrounded by an army of eight or tea thousaud, th if and brav.st force that Mexico could bring inio the field; and on theeighth and ninth of May ® collision eesued, ths result of which ha: become a part of the history of the ration.

The re- suit of that day’s coflict is matter of bistory, and wiil Drigthen che pages of tha annais of our country.

Wes cam look back with admiration on the man under whom such acbievemeats have been accomplirhed; tut this does not coasitute, by any means, the highest feature ia tee character of General Taylor. Inu the midsé of all these trials, we find him oe Orm as ever, aod ready to meet deatl or danger, obedient to the orders of go Yeroment—not buoyed up with tae splendor of his achievements, aud hot embarkiog in @ career of eelt- vation.

(Applause) [n that he follows Ws ‘on, rst Presidoat, and the com- mander in chief of the army of the revolution. Gane ral Taylor takes that ground, althoush he expresses a preference for party attachments, though not an ultra Party mao. The gentlemon concluded by appealing to the meeting to support the claims of General Taylor, Huon Maxwi Esq. was then called upon, and in obedience to the call, ross and spoke for half an hour or longer. After aliuding to the importance of the ap- Presidential elootion, he saidthe people looked tothe result as involving cousiderations of the greatest maguitude, and that emorg tho eminent men of the country, the people look to General Teylor asa man who eombines in his character the essential qualities of the heart and head, that will ensure ths goverament, if placed iu his hends, being conducted with honesty, pa- triotiom, and with a single eye to secure the objects for which the constitution was framed. and for which the eat blood of the land was shed. ‘hs friends of Gen»- ral Taylor, as far as an humble iudividual like him might be permitted to speak, in reference to their meats, think that he possesses all those q Gcations, amd it is for the people to of the candidates before them unit ties most essemial to a proper adm' the government; and in connection with these qualities Sporting Intelligence. ®, L I.—Trortina vs Pactna —Bo- tween six and seven hundred persons were in attendance at the Union Course, on last Wednesday afternoon, to witness the match, between the trotting mare Lady Sutton, and the pacing gelding Voloano—two mile heats, in har- ness. This match was made some months since; and as each of the nage were held in high repute, large sums were staked on the result. Upto Wednesday morning Lady Sutton had been the favorite; but on that morn ing, it was ascertained that the owner of Volcano was betting heavily on his horse, at odds, which changed the current of the betting, and tho friends of Lady Sut- ton became very cautious; and all that ocourred after- Wards was at 500 to 400, 100 to 60, and 20 to15 on Vol- cano, at which latter figure it was quite lively up to the time of starting At8 o'clock, Lady Sutton made her appearance on the track. in charge of J. Whelpley, and her fine appear ance reflected great credit on that skilful trainer. Vol- cand soon afterwards made his appearance, under the guidance of Albert Conklin ; but he did not look so well a¢ could have been wished: hi quired for training; but is friends were sanguine of the issue, and persisted in offering the odds, The track was in tolorably good order, day in the season, the weath ed the summons from the judges tor jake their places for the race The preliminary business of paeeinding Judues, weigh ing drivers, giving instructions tive to the conditions , &s &e , having been attended to, the nags were brought up to the score for the First Heat.—-The start was very evon, the negs being ou ® parallel line for the first hundred yards, when Vol- cano drew out ahead, and i instant afterwards Lady Sutton broke up, which was the very worst break she was ever known to have made. Before she struck her trot again, Voloano was over eighty yards in front of her, and moving beautifully ; in fact, the sooident to the mare, and the apparent oortainty of his winning the heat, called out many expressions of admiration in his fivor. He dashed past the quarter pole ia 37 seconds ; but on the backatretoh, his gait beeame unsteady, and he broke slightly ; the mare drawing nearer t) him in the meantime. He reached the half mile pole in 1:17 — for so early a r mild, and the spectators, they have an eyo to the availabiliiy of the man with whom they wili be ensbied with confidence to enter into the contest with those who exereina the pow and Patronage of office; who require ail the efforis of the peo- ple to Alatoage thew from the places which we suppose they wnworthily occuyy. Now, General Taylor is am iu reference to whom many entertain the utmost con- dence, as to his capacity, character, and virtue.

It wigitt be suid of Goneral Tayloc, that you might as well stiempt to change ths course of the sun in the heavens, os to move him from br vadl gad integrity. IN is no doubt fedehory that in the count osed to his clevation to the presid*noy—the filcads a ae Polk aod cho administration have put themselves in opposi- tioa to him, and they will continue their opporition to the end; and allow me to say, with the utmost Tespsct for my vther whig friends, toe friends of Mr. Clay that —(*8 soon as Mr. Clay’s nam 6 mentioned, thers was ® burst o. app suse aad enthusissm from all Parts of the room 4 continued for minute or cwo)—Mr Mar- well contined—I wm happy to see thin oxpression of feel- fog towards Mr. Clay, #0 honorable to him who har fovght our former battler, for ons who has rendered such brilliant services io his country; but permit me to Say to those who are the friends of vir Clay, who have come to a meeting here to-nigh: of the frieuds of Gene- ral Taylor, aad who hava waaifested this forlicg for Me Clay—let messy that General Taylor is the mos: available candidate that can be Presented to the People.

You find in him, from tae commeucement of his career, a degree of mo desty. When applied to, to consent to his name being used as a candidate for the Presidency, he has said over and over again that he was in the charge of hs duty, and he was unwilling to precipi tate himself into # political cont-et, especially at a moment when he was required by government to per form dutizs under their direotion, and he preferred the sould look to some other man who ‘has greater experi: ence than he had. And at the very moment when thes: ay ions are made to him, he has bevu assailed by the administration end held up as a man who did not d> his duty at the siege of Monterey, when ho bed every juducoment to throw himssif on the people. This men, with the steruness of s Roman, with the integrity of @ man who (eli that be had duties to perform, has uniformly said, that while he was discharging his duty as an officer, he was unwilling to do any thing in reference to the administration by which he woulu violate that duty which tho American psople expected him io perform, utterlag at tne same time that glorious entiment which is impressed on the Amori heart, “ T shrink from no responsibility, [ ask no favor.” And with ail his military glory, did you ever know from the earliest period of Grecian or Roman history, with the exception of Washington, such a sitaplicity of character as Goneral ‘tsyior has evinced during bis public life? He goes into battle, he makes uo studied or oratorical speech to his soldiers, uuiike the conquerors of ancieut times, the Cesars or the Alexanders. No, in the field, ‘and in cue pretence of the enomy, and be- fore his troops, he manifests th» same rimplicity of character that warks his conduet fromm the beginning The osly speech that the old general ever made, is © Spevch thst will go down to posterity Af.er the battle of bacne Vista, when too Siexican army was scattered iato ton thousand parts,;when SantaAana with his 20,000 men had fled, sud the little remuent of tue Awerican army were reporiug after the fatigue of the battis, that galiant old standing in the midst of ois staff aftor the greet struggle was fough: and won, and Generel Wool, the second in command, running up from distant partof th+ Mela to his obief, unable to utter his soutiments on the trying occasion, threw ‘ue arms Orer tho shoulders of tae oid hero ; and tue Round the lower part of the track, and up the home siretoh, the proor continued to lead; but as he pass-d the judges’ stand, at the close of the first mile, it evident to all tbat his changes for the hoat were on th: wane, asthe mare was rapidly closing the «ap between them, and moving with tue greatest ease, while he ap: peared to be laboring. The time of the mile was 2:40— Sutton only 30 yards behind Volcano. Round the turn, where there is a slight hill to climb, the mare closed up vearer and nearer, and as the querter pole was passed, the heads ofthe nage were close together. The next quarter of a mile they remained side and side; but on leaving the half mile pole, Lady Sutton wout ahead of the horse and led him two lengths around the lower dt turn.

Going round the upper turn, Conklin drew out, with the intention of passing the mare, but the ei- fort was fruitless, and the horse broke up ia the attempt, Again he was rallied, and he went down the back stretch with more speed, and at the half mile pele he was close up with themare.
