WHAT SOUTHERN LOCOFO-
COS SAY.
We have in the North u class of voters who
are opposing the election OF Taylor and Fill
more with all their might, on the ground that
they are not to be trusted upon the question Of
They are doing all they can TO elect
Gen. Cass. On the other hand, in the South,
the Iocoloc1 presses are filed with accusations
against Tay Tor and Fillmore, because they are
opposed to the extension of slavery. Thus we
nave the singular spectacle presented, of the ul-
tras on both sides of Mason and Dixon's line
working for the same end, namely the defeat Of
Taylor and Fillmore, and the election of Cuss
and Butler. Whigsslook to it. We present be-
low a few samples oil Locofocoism in the South:
One of the cardinal objections 10 Gen. Taylor
is, that he ,uW mol veto the ProvIso. Alias.

slarery into lie territories having opposed the
annexation of Texas: and having decidedly APP
proved of non extension.

We p'edge ourselves 10 prone that, no,withstan-
ding Cen Taylor is himself II slavenoder, he IS
in japor of he Wlmot Proviso. and hence opposed
to he introduction Of slavery into The netO terrio-
ries.

THE VETo.-Upun no subject has Gen. lay
Tor been more explicit than IN his pledges 10 re-
tro ia irn,a ito exercise of the veto should lie be
elected President. A mere minority IN Congress
are to exercise, uncontrolled aud unchecked the
DOW or Of legislation, aud the wh lie power Of the
Government Will be thrown into the hands Of the
Representatives of the Free States.
The CAss and Butler men Of Clinton, Louisia-
ma, in an address recently published, make The
following declarations:
"rhe interests and institutions of the South
have been ABANDONED by Gen. Taylor, and
he has surrendered himself and all who will fol-
low him, mncondltionaitb TO Willard Fillmore and
his Northern allies.
General Taylor has abandoned the Consi'u-
ton, by leaving 1t in the power and control of II
majority of Congress, when it is absolutely
known that a majority Of the representatives. IN
that body comes from the Free States.
Gen. Taylor has made manifest his total dsre-
gard OF the institution of slavery, by refusing TO
say, what no other true Southern man would re-
iuse to say, whe,h + or not he would veto 1ny
bill or act Of majority OF Congress, restricting
slavery to lis present limits.
Gen. Taylor although protesting TO be guided
| by the Constitution, has pledged himself TO i'm.
pair and mutllate that sacred instrument, by prac-
neatly abollShing past OF 1.-THE ve;o clause
and that very part which protects the rights OF
ninort,es, and THE STILL GREATER
RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS.
Gen. Taylor, III the act o surrendering his in
dependent candidacy and accepting the nomlna-
ton of the Philadelphia Convention, has atlilla-
ted hluseli with Tie known Abolluonlst, Md
| lard Fillmore, and fraler?zed his Southern
friends with Fllmores abolition friends.
After abusing Willard Fillmore to their hearts
content they close as follows:
People of Louisiana, of the Sor,h, call you no,
now this man Fillmore an abohlonist OF the
darkest cast? Ii not, then whom do you call alb
ohtionist? Who is 1t against whom the thun'
ders of your denunciation have been so often
hurled, for their daring interference with your
very rights, guaranteed by the Constitution :
/ Who is 1t against whom your vengeance has sc
often been proclaimed, IN curses loud ana deep
for their vile SANDERS and repeated insults upon
The shareholders of the South? Is It Adams
Then Fillmore ia all abolltlonist as he was. -
Is it Slade Then Fillmore is as much OF an
abollionist as he Is. Is 1t Hale? Then FIJI
more is as true an abolnionIst as he can be. Is
it Glddings? Then Fillmore is fully his equal
Or, is il any other vide mouth, brawllny fanatic
of the north? Then Fillmore IS equal with any
such that may be found, as to his SoundneSS up
on his principle? Wal you not then Spurn with
indignation aud disgust, this abolition dreg
which has beeh presented TO your hps Ant

il,aled and ralefnlzed himself, and whose opn
ions he has ENDORSED in the most exalted
terms as f0llows la hls letter To Captain Allison
dated East scagoula, September 4th, 1915, at
ter expressing his gratitude for his own nomlna

The address, copy of which we received iron
a friend in Louisiana on Saturday, conclude
Y with the iooH ing paragraph:
e "Remeln6er, then, that Taylor and Filimor

We nsk those Wings who think of voting 10
Van Buren,, whether, after this, they will assls
: IN defeating the Wing ticket; and aid the cleo
