Alta late meeting of the Taylor Wings oil
Auburn. New York, the Hon. Joshua Spencer
delivered an address, and was followed by A. F
Rightor, Esq of Louisiana, sketch OF whose
remarks is found as follows in the Auburn Ad
yertiser, a Taylor and Fillmore paper:
"After MIR. Spencer had concluded, Mr.
Rightor, neighbor of General Taylor, and IN
timately acquainted with him for twenty years
past, and, therefore, we'll understanding his OPT
mons upon public matters, made a rev re
marks in reference TO General Tayor's political
principles, particularly his views upon the sub.
iect Of slavery extension. He declared, from
his o,on personal knowledge, that General Taylor
is now, as he always has been, an uncomproms
ing and thorough going Wing, as true one as
Henry Clay himself, or any other man IN the
whole Union. Of this he said there could DC
no doubt. He said, too, that if the Locoiocos
could have got from him the slightest intima'loD
thai! he had any sympathy with their principles
as tbey repeatedly attempted TO do the moment
he returned from Mexico, they would have made
him their candidate g,d f., Presdsnl shsy
| the effort. OF this have not particle o.
doubt, because the whole tenor OF their press
corroborates it.
"Mr Rishtor Furthermore said, 1chat he kneao IA
BE- true from tie eridsnce Of Gen Taylm's oi0n hps
THATHE WAS OPPOSED To THE EXTENSION of SLA
VERY AND WOULD uNHEsiyATlH0LY SION BILL FOE
PROHIBITING 1T. Mr.. Rishor is the brother-in
law OF one of our most respectable citizens, and
gentle an OF high character, nimpeachable integ
riiy, and mo lrsi, eentemanly an unassumng
man. indeed, whose appearance and manners
with him, that his word is entitled TO the most i'm
pIicit belief, aside from any knowledge OF his
character Tor honesty and integrity. We there
fore consider his evidence conclusive as 10 Gen
raylol's Wing principles, and his views upon
ne ex cnsion OF Slavery. Weonly wish that ev
cry man iu The country kney Mr.. Righlor, and
could hear his testimony upon these points. They
would then, we are sure, be Salisfsd as we are,
that Gen. Taylor is all right not only on the grea
question Of Slavery extension, but upon all the
measures advocated BY the Wing party"
Governor Johnston, the acting Governor o!
Pennsylvania, in recent speech, went on to
prove tat Gen. Taylor was the proper candidate
TOR The "i,ee soilers" He said:
Slavery was also question 10 be settled in the
present crisis New territory was added TO our
already widely extended country; and it wa, a
principle with us whether i should become the
resort OF servitude, or remain free as God
had wiled il 10 US. He believed that the election
OF General Taylor would terminate the dispute
and put the mauer al rest, perhaps forever
whereas, if General Cass was elected New
Mexico and Californit, rs Oregon was threaten
ed, must become the property of the human
bondbolder, instead 81 he home OF the freeman.
Mr.. J. then instarc'd The similarity OF views
entertained by Taylor and Washington, and
quoted wherein lha similarity particularly pre-
vailed But, owls: o his indisposion. he was
compelled 10 be h.ei in MS remarks, and closed
by assuring the audience that il he did not believe
what was said Of Taylor, he would be the
first TO Withdraw from his support.
From the Springfield (lNoss.I Post.
II is altogether too late il the day TO talk of
denying the existence of the letter in question:
We knop thai Mr. Bales has, or has had, letter
from General TAYLOR in his possessiop in which
the writer rirtua'lv, If not posit'ueiy, pledges
himself mol 10 peto The Wilnsot Propiso. This is
not a matter Of doubt al all II is fact, for
stating which we have satisfactory authority.
