Gen. Taylor and the Presidency.

AsBrABrLA, Ohio, April 2nth, letL
My DEAR GREELEY The cry Of Southern Slave.
holders and Northern doughiaces 10 favor OF Gen.
Taylor for President does not take in Ohio. You
will have seen that toe meeting az Cincinnati was
q perfect failure The Cleveland Herald is the
only WIKI paper in tbis State north Of Cbiicothe that
soes for TAYLOR The Editor Of that paper hss generally
shown a strong proclivity to the Slave Power. You
will recoect that the Herald the only Wing paper
West Of the Mountains that justified the outrage
rni,tsd upon Mr. Gliding and his constituents in l542
when he driven from Congress for denying the night
of the Federal Government involve the People Of the
Free States In the disgrace Of supporting the coast wise
ssve-rade.
The Editor then opposed the reelection Of Mr. c.
The present position Of that paper may therefore be re-
garded in degree consistent but II stands alone
The Whgs Of the Reserve discard ell such attempts 10
render them the serve tools Of Slave
speak with the same confidence that entertain OF
my Own existence when say that the Wings OF Ohio
can never be carried for any who lends his phys
cal and moral powers the numbering Of the People
and devastating country of our sister Republic 10 order
20 extend the Institution Of Slavery The Taylor meet
ing In Philadelphia Characteristic Of the Wing
leaders ia that city They profess 70 be in favor OF
Korthen Free Labor but nominate for President man
whose whole fortune Is invested In Southern Slaves
They profess love Liberty but select for Chief Msgs
trsts man whose feelings and interests are 10 favor OF
opore sslon and human bondage. They condemn this
War AZ inconcevsbly wicked and murderous. and then
hold public meetings In honor Of those who lend their
whole energies 10 carry II on, and whose hands are
moot deeply stained with human gore. Nov wish b
cay that the Wings Of Ohio cannot be led by men guilty
Of such bare faced sbsurdites They must render our
party the scot Of honest and moral men. If permitted 70
control It's political movements
dyDh. ofn nrp.
vail, or the Wing party will disband- The Idea Of the
advocates Of the Protection OF Northern Labor uniting
with John g. Calhoun and the most inveterate oppO
nents OF Northern interests 70 elect a man whose
fortune 10 vested Ia Slaves who employed In
FrowinR Cotton, appears TO me most absurd Our
Wings Of Ohio revolt st IT, regret that so many wing
journals Of your State have wayered this subject
Too much political information has been dtused among
the People since the commencement Of the campaign OF
1870 10 permit them be led into such 10
their own interests and their honor.
The ignorance Of the People can longer be relied
upon with safety, will II do TO tempt their credulty
100 far They every Member of Congress south Of
Mason and Dixons line at the late session vote against
ell attempts to restrict Slavery 10 It's present limits
Southern Of both parties in favor Of its
extension With this fact 30 distinctly marked upon
their recollection II 10 sskng too much of them TO
solicit their votes for the owner OF many hundred
Slaves and a msn who has voluntarily consented 10 be-
com. the instrument of Slave holding President TO
carry out the work of human butchery IN Mexico.
IL s plain that the support OF this War snd the exten
sion OF Slavery viii constitute the issue Ia tue next
Presidential election Those who for Gen. Taylor
will vote 20 extend slavery, and 10 furnish and mo
ney to carry this War of rspne and murder. What
WhLg Of Ohio New.York will do IL ] answer. None
Some who claim 10 belong that party may. but they
ought not TO be called Bhiss therefore give 1t my
opinion that the nominston OF Gen Taylor by the Wing
party would prove the signal for its final disbsndment
Those who attempting TO coerce into the support
OF any who lends his energies TO the work Of muir
der and rspne, should understand these truths.
Very respectfully.
