TROUBLEIN THE TAYLOR
CAMP IN. Y. WINGS
H0LTUNG

On our first page will be found the proceedings of
the South Carolina Democratic convention which a.
dopted Gen. Taylor good enough democrat for them
on account of his known friendship for slavery, while
they discarded Mr. Fillmore, and adopted Gen. Butler,
the saveholding candidate of the democrats for the
Vice Presidency. Gen. Taylor has approved of this
nomination. and made the following reply:-
BATON ROUGE, (La) Aug 9, l848
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the receipt Of
your communication of the 9th uItimo, officially an.
nouncing to me my nomination for the Presidency BY
"a large meeting of Democratic citizens of Charles
ton, South Carolina" held in that city on the Goth u
and over which you were the presiding officer
The deliberate expression of the friendly feeling ex
listing toward me among large and respectable por-
ton OF the citizens Of your distinguished State has
been received with emotions of profound gratitude
and though it be but poor return for such high and
unmerted honor, beg them to accept my heartfelt
thanks.
Concluding that this nomination. like all others which
have had the honor to receive from assemblages Of
my fellow citizens in vlrous parts of the Union, has
been generously offered to me without pledges or con
dtons, it is thankfully accepted. And beg to as
sure my friends in whose behalf you are acting, thai
should it be my lot to fill the office for which have
been thus nominated, it shall be my unceasng effor
in the discharge of its responsible duties to give salts
faction to my couhrymen.
With the assurance ofmy high esteem | have thu
honor to be Your obedient servant,
z. TAYLOR.
On the reception of this letter in New York. grea
wing Indignation meeting was called to consider thu
great insult which Gen. Taylor thus heaped upon thu
wings of the aorh, and especially those of New York
We always supposed Taylor would Iylerze the wings
but we didn't believe he would torment them SO lon,
before the time.
The following proceedings have reached US by tele
graph, aud predict that this is but the beginning
a course which will become general throughout tn
Free States before the November election:-
