doubtful. Why they should concedc Louisiana as doubt
full cannot conceive unless it be from the simple fact
that Gen Taylor is resident OF this State Now let me
say to you, sir, for the information of all our friends
everywhere that Louisiana, from information received
from every part of the State, held forth brighter
prospects and although her majority for Cass and But.

Gen. Tayor's popularity in this State has been over
