E. s. Hamlin formerly wing member Of Congress, thus
announces the nomination Of Taylor
As we anticipated, the wings have nominated FAC.
Taylor for President Fillmore of New York, IS put
on the ticket for Vice President And this is the
Cup offered by slave holders to us to drink We
loathe its sight We will neither 'touch, or taste, or
handle the unclean thing" We say to the backslid-
den, fallen Wing Party-"Get behind us, Satan." y
Thou savorest not of the things that be of Liberty but
of "sPoILs." We ask men to lay
aside for time the claims of party and TO go for their
country. We ask the Wings of Cuyahoga county to
live up to the pledge they have made We have
doubt they will do it We ask also of Democrats and
Liberty men to shake hands with us in cordial friend
ship and unite to sustain the cause of freedom Will
you do it? We believe thousands will. The People
disposed to go for themselves and not for the well
being of few office expectants.
The dark clouds of slavery have doomed up from
the Baltimore and Philadelphia Conventions, and are
over-spreading the land with gloom. Many who have
looked to the Wing and Democratic parties to save
the ark of Liberty, struck with despondency-with
fear and trembling Let us not despair 1t is part
of the work of human redemption to break the bonds
of slavery and let the oppressed go free. Fear not
Out of Nazareth will come forth some despised Naza
rene who will prove to be the SHILoAH Of the slave
Let us put faith in the great principles of Liberty, and
in Divine TRUTH and we shall triumph. We have nev.

the slaves speedy redemption and our own deliver
ance from the slave power cheering at this hour
Stand frm and see the salvation that will be wrought
for us. The country has long groaned beneath the
thraldom of party chains These chains will now be
snapped asunder, and the array will be FREEDOM a
gainst SLAVERY. Who can doubt the result?
The editors of the Lowell (Mass) Courier, the Gin
cnnat Atlas, the Torch Light (Henia o. and sever
al other wing journals have retired from their posts
rather than give their support to Taylor.
The Lafayette Qa.) Journal, June TO- says:
"The nomination of Gen Taylor is disgrace to the
Convention and insult to the intelligence and viz
tue of the American people
"The Wing party Is basely betrayed-ay, sold to
the Southern slave-driver and remains to be seen
f how far the FREEMEN THE North will ratify the
bargain.
"7or ourself, sink or S,cm, liue de-, WE ARE A
: GAINsT THE NOMINATION MIGHT AND MAIN, HEART
= AND SOUL"
n The Mount Vernon (Ohio Times will not hoist the
name of Gen Taylor
awe cannot however-we dare not, in conscience
support the nomination of Gen Taylor until We
! know his views OH the Mexican war and the flrthe
e extension of slavery"
The Paine8niLle (Ohio,) Telegraph says:
awe are in favor of "a uuion of the Wings for tn
sake of the Union if it can be done consistently Blu
the people in this part of the State too well estab
shed in their opinions upon the great issue pend
! ing TO waver They cannot they will not, supper
any who is not opposed to the further aggression
Z Of the slave power upon the rights of the North.
=, The Seneca Falls (N.Y) Courier says;
'We shall not support Gen Taylor
IL "lst. Because his nomination is not binding upo
i" the Wings of the North. He never agreed to abd
er the decision of Convention, and therefore claiI
n no such submission from others.
sgd. He is not a Wing. He has pretended to be S
~ unacquained with political matters to be unable
r. form opinions upon the great questions that have ag
ated the public mind He accepted nominations fro
the Native American and Locofoco Conventions, wit
evident satisfaction, and refused to promise his SUI
,I' port to the nominee Of the Wing Convention.
e "3d. The Convention which nominated him reiec
VI ed resolution, declaring that no one but Wing, wi
5o would pledge himself to carry out Wing principle
,;S should be nominated.
"4th. Because that Convention virtually voted dow
the resolution declaring opposition to the extension
slavery to be Wing principle,
TX, "5th. Because Gen Taylor was nominated on a
let count of his loyalty to the interests of slavery"
NJ The Western Star, Lebanon, Ohio,) the DID, eadl
raj Wing paper of Warren county, in which Mr. Corw
OF resides, utterly repudiates Gen Taylor ina long
IN an able article. 1t says
From all we can hear-and we have intelligen
from nearly every township in the county-the Viii
he Of Warren, with almost united voice, denounce Al
Inc repudate the monstrous nomination for President
lay made by the Wing National Convention at Phlad
raj phia And the few who were led to commit the
to selves to it, from the first meager and partial repo
re- of the proceedings of the Convention, sent out by
BOD egraph WILL feel satisfied, when they come to re
en- the full reports of proceedings, cast from them
nry whole affair with loathng and disgust. Such,
know, has already been the conduct of some at tt
place"
zen zen The .Ashtabula (0J Sentinal the organ of
en- Wings in the great Wing county of the State, u
INST Giddings home) says:
as "We have time for comments, and will mer
lost remark that the Wings of Ashtabua county ha
long since taken their position in regard to the Pre-
will dental election. They will support no man who
eX- not WHTG, and who is not opposed to the extens
the of slavery. Our people will not now show the
ito selves services or doughfaces."
