Hon. Truman Smith the dissolution OF the Union
BRIDGEPORT, (Ct.,) Oct s, 1S4S.

To the Editor of the UAiom:
enclose you part OF an address signed BY some 81
wing members OF Congress in ls43 saying and declaring
that government should annex Texas it would
fully justify dissolution of the Unon regarding slave
ny evil and to become extinct under
the operation OF laws ito beg passed prohibiting the slave
trade by the progressive influence Of the principles OF the
revolution
Such the doctrine of twenty -one wing members OF
Congress in 1913; among whom we find Truman Smith.
ask, is such man safe counsellor for the nation
Is the South ready to take lessons from him who would
dissolve the Union on the ground OF the slavery CUES
ton! for it is the same Truman Smith who now stands
at the head OF the Wing National Executive Committee
Ii is the same Truman Smith who claims that he has
letter from Cen Taylor. received from his
faithful correspondent, saying he Gen T. would not
who claims that Gen. Taylor is better free soil man
than Martin Van Buren, Joshua r. Giddings. 1t is
the same Truman Smith who urges the election of Mil
lard Fillmore on ant-slavery grounds because ne will
have the casting vote all questions of slavery in the
United States Senate, the North and the South being d.
yided IN that body 1t is the same Truman Smith who
is writing secret letters and circulars in State urging
the wings not TO discuss the soil question, because it
will nlure their cause; and in another State says you
must take ground because will DO harm to our
opponents 1t is the same Truman Smith who betrayed
hls State by going for Taylor instead Of Clay, at the
Wing National Convention and when told BY one of his
constituents that if New England went for Taylor she
would fosake her principles, his reply was that it is not
principles we want. but the overthrow of the men in
power, which only could be done by throwing away
principles and going for Gen. Taylor Il is the same
Truman Smith who has for years. by his votes in the
House of Representatives, together with Miard Fill
more, supported the most ultra anti slavery ground all
of the questions touching the rights of the South and
the compromises of the constitution.
Mr. Truman Smith. in his political life, is federalist
by birth and educaon he scrupes at political scheme
to carry his point He is what is called political wire
puer in the fullest of the word, and would he
has sad dissolve the Union to carry out his principles
and at this very time he playing deep game for Penn
sylvania. The wings using money and deception to
carry that State; but. mark it the old Keystone will
prove true to the democracy She will rebuke all foreign
aid such as Truman Smith, &c. If the democracy poll a
full vote, Longstreth will be elected by 10000 majority
The democracy of Connecticut still of good cheer
Candid wing calculaors put down the chance even
but the democracy bound to have from one to two
thousand to boot.
Now is the time to strike. The South must be saved
the West is safe II we carry the old Keystone by
handsome majority for governor, presidential victory
will be an easy one.
