General Taylor is prepared 10 Strike out this i'm
porlan part of the Executive power-Ihus, IN iaci

we have an explicit, aYowa OF the sentiment from
his own pen.
From. he Petersburg Republican,
NO. II.
We have promised 10 show from documentary
evidence, that the Wing party were gully OF du-
plicily in announcing their principles IN 1917,
and that in deserving that party Mr.. Meade was
consistent and true 10 his long cherished opinions.
We proceed al once TO redeem our promise
We charged, then, that in 1910 The Wing party
disavowcd any intention Of reviviEg the Bank,
Tariff or Internal improvement, system, and that
they presented Gen. Harrison 10 The people as an
opponent OF all these measures. We further
charge that they had no sooner gotten into power
Than they fasitied all their pledges BY passing
Bank bill and The most oppressive Tariff with
which HE country was ever afflicted.
And now for the proof
In a leiie. written BIZ Gen. Harrison in 1886,
aud repubished BY alli The VIII glonrna's in lS40,
we find this language: III resrelthaI my remarks
of Yesterday were misunderstood in relation 70 the
tariff system. What meant 10 convey was, that
lad tecn a warm advocate tor lha, system upon
lis first adoption that still believed in the be-
nefi's i, had conferred upon the country. Bnt
certainly never had, nor never would have, any
idea of reyiving il. What said was that
would no, agree 10 the repeal az il nor stands
In other words, | am for supporting The Compro-
mise Aci, and ncrer irW agree 10 is beiae altered
~ 9fpe0ed."
Bur, again. We now quoe from General HIS
sueech al Dayton which was also repnblished
and circulated in 1910, by Wing Journals and
Wing ora,ois, as The exponent oil his opinions at
that time:
"Bul with all This am not Bank man. Once
in ms lie was, and then they cheated me oul OF
every dollar placed in their hahds."
We nrxi call upon The Wing Convention oi
1870 10 aid us in our task. Let Them speak
through their llulhtul address
But We are grayeiy informed hat Mr.. Van
Buren is opposed 10 a National Bank, 10 Internal
improvements by The General Government, and
10 The Tariff, and that his hostility 10 these inca
sures gives him an irresistible claim 10 The conf
drnce and sulirases OF the people oil ViIginia.--

Again 1--WE commend Gen. Harrison 10 yen
as Republican in principle and practice. And
we produce, in farther proof Of This assertion,
leuer from our candidate, (Gen. H.,) addressed 10
the editor OF The 'Inqusiior' in Cincinnati, Sept.
lG, 1922, wherein he says, i believe That The char
lei given 10 The Bank OF the United States was
nRcoaaiiuiionai-il being not one OF those mea-
sures necessary 10 carry any Of The expressly
granted powers into effect
The following, from The same verabe docu.
men,. The Wing address Of 1910, is lao itch 10 be
losi
al is objected 10 Gen. Harrison by venerable
icmagugnc as well rs by their younger and
more innocent dures, that he is not an orthodox
politician in his Interpretation Of The Federal Con-
siilulion-and The reveillc is sung 10 the party
who support The Presdent-lo The old chums OF
apti.Bank, anli-Tarf ani-lnlernal Improve
menl. Most OF those Who raise his cry know
lha. the questions suggested by these cabalistic
terms, are not now before The American people ;
and il they were, that Mr. Van Buren, is obnox
ious 10 the strongest objections 10 which they can
give rise. Vel with an ef;ontery no where else
be met with, they first insist that these are The
true issues. and swear that all who will not sup
port Mr.. Van Buren, are in favor 81 the Bank,
Tariff and Internal Improvements, and therefore
Fcdeyals:s."
Again: "As far as We know or believe, fellow
citizens, Gen Harrison has but one opinion about
the Bank, and that is against il, &c.
And vet who DIES moi remember the curses
and imprecalions that we're heaprd upon MIR. Ty-
Ter, when, true 10 these solemn pledges, and his
own Republican principles, he vetoed The Bank
bil1
We think we might here pause, and ask with
confidence, if our promise is mol redeemed. Blu,
we proceed with The proof.
We bring Mr.. VIM. c. Rves 10 The stand. Let
him testify
Ia 4 letter written by him in February, Isi0
which vas printed in hand-bill form and circula-
ted by the Wing party, lie says: The sentiments
OF General Harrison are known TO be those oil
distinguished ibsrality on this SUBJECT" (the Ia
riff ".or in his Cheyiol speech he declares, with
as much BUSINESS OF thought as elegance OF e1-
PRESTON that, even in cases where The injurious
operation oil a measure OF the General Govern
ment is confined 10 few, and il is beneficial 10 a
large majority Of The States, i! would be evidence
OF as little foresight as OF moral Tecsilude in The
latter, 10 counienanee the in ury.'"
And again he says: "Connecing what Gen'l
Harrison here says, with the declaration in his
address, to The voters Of his district in is22, il is
evident that his own eanin3s are decidedly against
a National Bank"
We dismiss you, MIR. Rives, with our thanks
for your kind assistance. We next present 10
our readers MIR. George +. Badger, one Of Gen.
Harrison's Secretaries. Come, good Mr.. Score
larry, lei US hear what you have 10 say-you were
high in The confidence Of your party, and possess
ed all the secrels-oul with lhem
"Bu, why is the subject Of the tariff brought
forward AT a2 Ii was settled years ago by the
Compromise Act. Who proposes 10 disturb II?
w no desires 10 increase the dnties1 Certainly
neither Gen. Harrison nor any Of his friends"
This will do tor he Tariff, MIR. Secretary
Pray enighten MS as TO The Generals views Of a
Bank:-"Next it is said that Gen. Harrison Ia
yoIs Bank OF The United States. Tie charge is
false. His opinions, on the contrary, are against
a Bank"
Decidedly snappish We dismiss you, SIR,
and will be more guarded in future not 10 dis
lurb your rquanimily by any more false charges.
