We clip the following letter from the New
York Tribune, written from Ash.ubuIs Ohio.
It will, no doubt, call for notice from the ed
itor Of the Cleveland Herald:
GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PREIDENCY.
AsHrABuLA, OHro, April 26th, ls47
Ny DEAR GREELY:-- The cry of South
ern Shareholders and Northern doughfaces
in favor Of Gen. Taylor for President does
not take in Ohio. You will have seen that
the meeting at Cincinnati was perfect
failufe. The Cleveland Herald is the only
whig paper in this State north Of Chilicoths
that goes for Taylor. The editor of that
paper has generally shown strong preclvi-
ty to the slave power. You will rscolIect
that the Herald vas the only whig paper
west Of the mountains that justified the out
rage committed upon Mr.. Giddings and his
constituents in lS42, whsa he was driven
from Congress for denying the right Of the
Federal Government TO involve the people
of the free states in the disgrace of support.
ing the coast wise slave-trade.
Tho editor then opposed the reelection
Of Mr.. G. The present position Of tina, paper
may therefore be regarded as in some degree
consistent, but il stands alone. The wings
OF the Reserve discard all such attempts TO
render them the servile tools of slsve.hoId-
ing usurpatien.
speak with tho sane confidence that
entertain Of my own existence, when say
that the wings efOhio can never be carried
for any man who lends his physical and NOR
al powers to tho numbering of-the people and
devastating the country Of cur sister repub-
lie, in order to extend the institution ofslave-
ry- The Taylor meeting in PhiladsJphia
was characteristic Of the whg leaders in
that city. They profess to be- in favor of
norlhern free labor, but nominate for Prssi-
dent man whose whole fortune is invested
in southern slaves. They profess TO love
liberty, but select for Chief Magistrate q
man whose feelings and interests are in "a
vor of oppression and human bondage -
They condemn this war as inconceivably
wicked and murderous, and thsH bold pub.
lie meetingr in honor OF those who lcnd
their whole energies to carry it on, and whose
hands are most deeply stained with human
gore. Now wish TO say that the wings Of
Ohio cannct be led by man guilty Of such
bars-facsd absurdities. They must render
eur party the scef Of honest and moral men
if permitted to control its political movements.
The time has arrived when other counsels
must prevail, or the whig party will disband.
The idea of the advocates Of the protection
of northern labor uniting with John G. Cal
hedn and the most inve,erate opponents Of
northern interests, to elect man whose
fortune is vested in slaves, who are employ
cd in growing cotton, appears 70 me most
absurd. Our wings Of Ohio revolt at it. |
regret that so many vhig Journals Of your
state have wayered on this subject. Teo
much political information has been ditfused
among the people since the commencement
of the campaign Of le40, TO permit them now
TO be led into such treason TO THAR own in
terests and to their own homer
The ignorance Of the people can no len-
ger be relied upon with safety, nor will it do q
10 tempt their creduity too far. They saw ,
every member of fCongrsss south of Mason
md Dixon's line. at the late session, vote
against all attempts to restrict slavery TO its
present limits. Southern members of both
parties were in favor of its extension. With
his fact so distinctly marked upon their re-
tits asking too much of them now .
10 solicit their votes for the owner Of many
lundre,I slaves, and man who has volantar.
ly consented 10 become the instrument of
,ur slave-holding President to carry out the
work Of human buchery in Mexico.
his plain that the support Of this war and I,
he extension of slavery will constitute the
ssue IN the next Presidential election
Those Nho vote for Gen. Taylor will vote
o extend slavery, and TO furnish men and
nansy to catry ON this war Of rapine and
murder. WhaNsWhig Of Ohio or New York
will do it? answer, None. Some who |,
lain 10 belong TO that party may, but they !
,ught not to be called WAigs. ,herefore :
rive /. as my opinion that the nomination of |,
General Taylar by tho Wing party would :
,rove the final disbandnent.- who
re attempting 10 ceerce usinte the supp ort of +
ny man who lends his energies to the york
f murder and rapine, should understand
liese truths. g Very respectfully.
