It has rarely fallen to the lot of any public man to eceupy #0 prominent @ position in the estimation of his contemporaries; to share largely in the common respect of all nations; or to possess so thoroughly the respect, the admiration, and the devoted attachment of his country men. The carcer of General Zachary Taylor has indeed been memorable. In the second war of our indepen- dence, his bravery and skill shone out conspicuously on the pages of our history. But it was reserved for a future emeresney, to draw out into bold relief and to imprint on the tablets of immortality, his sagacity, firmness, persevering energy and unsurpassed gal- lantry as @ great wilitary captain, Tho victortos achieved by him in the war with Mexico, will ever stand conspicuous in history, and will enrol his name among the illustrious warriors of all agos.
