MAI This is the heading ola long arti-
Gle which appears inthc California Star,
nflhe 18th 81 March last, and ia bold,
decided ard meompromislng in its OPP
position to thl introduction Of slavery
into California: The writer says that
there is not "a slave iii California, and
the power of the Home Government is
inadequate to their introduction into that
territory. "ThoSc who attempt te trans
fer their slaves from east to the west OF
The Rocky Mountains will meet with the
inevitable loss Of their property They
might as well attempt to remove them to
New England or Canada" 1t is said
"that the simple recognition of slavery
here would be looked upon as a greater
misfortune to the territory than though
California had remained in its former
state" 1t declares that neither the soil,
the climate, nor the productions Of Cali
tornia are suited to slave labor, and that
they could not be held in bondage there.
IT says chat Congress has no right to be-
queath such. a calamity 10 the country,
contrary TO the wishes OF the people.

Another letter has appeared from Gen
eral Taylor to Captain Allison, dated
Pascagola September 4, 1913, in which
he complains that he ischarged with oc-
cupying an equivocal attitude towards
various parties, and especially towards
the wings.
He says that this results from partial
extracts from his letters being published,
which are in reality as bad as positive
iabrications. He did not declare his po-
litical opinion while in Mexico, fearing
that it might ALLEVIATE his soldiers. When
he assented to run he believed he was
accepting general call from all parties.
He then pays high compliment to Mr.
Fillmore, who he considers as worthy of
the first place on the ticket. He then
proceeds to say,
