But this Is not all, You are powerfully con-
tributed to the wicked purpose OF certain nrn
IN your State. who haze deliberately entered
into a plot 10 overtum its Government and
involve public affairs in the State OF Ohio 10
irrctrleVpble confusion, ii they cannot other
accomplish heir political ends. The danger
from this course has been greatly enhanced
by the result OF the recent election, aud | shall
not be surprised il your people are called in a
briet space 10 witness scenes Of lamentable
disorder il not OF actual blood shed. Now. |
say to YOU. the only ark ct salely for your
STATE is the elevation OF Zachary TAYLOR to he
| Presidency. From Lewis Cass. the plottets

proyocation. | have never doue YOU the least
injury or treated YOU otherwise than with re
sprct. But have during the late session. IN
currel your hostility, from some cause which
