briefly as well can, give some few OF mine, and let
them pass for what they may be held to be worth First
Gen. Taylor has been coupled with decided an abo-

Taylor has repudiated all his independent pledges
and stands now, a good honest lawyer would

And therefore General Zachary Taylor thought him

citizens like myself. Surely General Taylor has not
