Louisiana; An extensive and successful
farmer; and owns more slaves than the |
most Of his slanderers can ever hope hon.
es,ly to obtain. IL there any fear Of such
a man oh this subjec? Born ip a slave
STATE and still residing in one; with
large portion Of his capital invested in
this species of property; idenu6ed from
interest, inclination, and education, with
the institutions around ns; W i'll any sensi.
BILE man hesitate on this subject TO prefer
him TO bis oppouent!"- Columbus Geo
Enquirer.
"THE LAST PLANK GONE The oppo.
nen,s of the glorious old Zachary Ta,
in their reckless attempts to injlre him
with the people Of the South, have asser.
ted that, in his letter to James w. Taylor,
editor Of the Cincinnati Signal, written
reply to and answering certain interro.
gatorles propounded IN letter from him,
he had pledged bimseh not to veto any
bill which nigh, he passed 5y Congress
in which was lmbod,ei the Wiimot Pro
viso! Tins moustrous assertion, SO EN-
tirely at war with the character of the
man and the tenor Of his whole lie, could
only have been made BY political leaders
when ID the last stage Of desperation
when they saw that everlasting political
ront and rum was approaching them as
fast as the course Of ,ime would permit.
'How dare these ctupulous mali.hers
say that General Taylor--a man OF such
would prove a traitor to those among
whom he was born aud raised1 that he
would betray the southern people on ,hls
vital qnestion!-,hat he would prove false
to hls own interests and scornlully turn
his back upon old associations! What
ground have they for putting forth such
vile and unfounded statements! Iu the
course of long life, has General Tay lor
ever displayed any disposition to belray
his couu!r,f Does he bear the marks OF
a tral,orl No! Let his vllest traducers
point to single act OF his .fe that smscks
Of treason! On the contrary, for forty
years he has stood b, his country; and on
many desperately contested battle -6el Ids
his strong arm, stout heart, clear and
cool head, ihdOnitable bravery aud iron

should such ihan--so pure, So exalted
SO patriotic, SO devoted to his country
who has cunsecrated long life to his
counttys service, who has shed iiniiiorta

we have tot yet met with any Democrat

stronger evidence Of a man = suundness OF

is a soulherner by birth, habits, and asso
