Ceusurers Of Taylor.

Never seemed retribution to follow closer the
commission Of a political blunder than in the case
OF the traducers Of Gen Taylor. That vote OF
cepsure sdberes to the sinners like the poisoned
shir, of Nessus No expurgstion will clear them
OF their wilful sttemptto outrage alike the national
gratitude and manifest truth repentance cannot
save them from the swift punishment that awaits

auents by indignant constituencies. lntroth, hardly
n mail arrives without some such expression OF
honest resentment The miserable fslsifem o.

another confirmation Of the popular feeling on this
subject Reuben Chapman yoke fellow OF jacob

sometime since by sparse and divided Loco Foco
Convention for Governor Of Alabama The loath'

Loco. II oco to contest with him the chance OF an
election and apparently with good prospectof sue

unconnec,ed action. On the contrary, it pervades

We believe that many even OF the LocoFoco
