CEN. TAYLOR On SLAf Eh1.
c.n T.vor i'm his Allison letter, says: "Ihe power
o;vcn bv the Constitution the Executive to nterpose
his veto is high conservative power; but IN my oP-
ion should be exercised except IN cases OF clear
violation of the Constitution or manifest haste anu want
of consideration by Congress
M Radocr in his Speech in the Senate against Mr.
Clavton's Compromise declares the Wmot Provso to
be Constitutional; and speaking OF case IN which
Congress exercised jurisdiction over the question OF slave
ry he saws: Nor this instance OF hdSty ana IN
cons;erate action" So according to Mr. Badger Gen
Taylor would not if elected President veto the Wimot
Proviso.
Gen Taylor also SAYS in his Allison letter. that the
nersonal oninons of the individual who happen to oc-
un the Executive chair ought not control the action
of Congress upon questions Of domestic policy nor ought
his objections to be nterposed where questions OF consul
utiona power have been settled by the various depart
ments of Government and acquesced IN by the people,
Mr. Badger in his Speech delivered in this City, on
the oath day of August ls4e, said: He deemed the
true pivot which the ensuing election ought TO ana
turn be the question OF the unlimited exercise
of the Veto power If you would have the Legislative
departments of the Country chambers for register

cate of such a theory, Lewis Cass. But II you would

their proper Representatives. you would preserve
your republican form of Government IN reality as well
as name for that ,chO ,cA sacrifice has ot0n
private partiaties Of opinion to the open declarations
of the popular t0iH!"
Gem Taylors "privates partialities of opinion"
supposed by Southern Wings to be in favor of the slave
holding States but Mr. Badger here distinctly announces
that he "wiU sacrifice" those "pTfUafe pa-ti0httes
to the ,UiH Of bare majority Of Congress That Is,
the Representatives of the nonslaveholdng States should
pass law excluding the people of North Carolina, and
of the South from New Mexico and California, Gen.
Taylor will approve that law, and, President of the
United States, that it is enforced.
Gen. Taylor says he will make pledges and yet his

In the great debate in the Senate Of the United States
in July last on the Oregon bif Senator CorWin said:
Could be made to believe that General Taylor would
veto any bill embracing the principles of the Wimot
Proviso certainly 1rould not r0te for him and will
take it myself to say, that not Of the free States
could be brought to support him. But between Gen.
Taylor and Mr.. Cass there could be no hesitation to
choice" Sec Congressional Globe, lst session, 3Oth
