Gen Taylor was the free soil cand date, and he |
elected as such. lie held IT, therefore, TO be- unfair
toward the great Free Soil party 20 affirm that there
was any greater issue involved. Things should Doe |
taken ne they were. Gen Taylor the Free Soil /

accordingly.
Mr. FooIE was sure that the honorable Senator who
