Mr. Deano's word must be pretty good authority we

A Word to the South.

We copy entire the following leading article from the
Pttsburg Gazette, wing paper of extensive circulation
and much influence. Comment is unnecessary. The
wings of the South vote for the General because, Bale
Peyton says of General Taylor, "frem his raising, his
position, his interest STAKEHOLDER and cotton planter
he believed, and had no doubt but what he General
Taylor would veto the Wilmot provso'
The votes of the wings and abolitionsts the North
be secured by writing private letters in which he
pledges himself not TO The executive patronage, nor
to nerpose the veto potter to defeat the Wmot prouiso"
Corwn in recent Speech said if Taylor elected,
somebody would be cheated; and he knew it would
be the North Let every southern democrat and wing
read this article and ask himself if he endorse such
doctrine by voting for Taylor who has surrendered to
northern abohonism and Fillmore, who was dyed in
the wool:

10 the Hon. DANIEL w EBsTER, Ell a.:
SIR: see, from your speech at Marshfed that
you profess to support Gen Taylor for the presidency
because you believe that he would approve the Wmot
Povso should he be elected and should that measure
pass during the congressional administration which would
prevail during his term of office.
| will not deny that you have sufficient evidence on
and all others who profess the opinions which you
d. that Gen. Taylor is supported in the slave holding
States under the proessed and declared belief that he
would, if elected, veto the Wimo Proviso, any
ure of a similar character. Mr., Benjamin. wing cleo
tor of Louisana-saled in his speech at Baton
Rouge, Gen. Tayors residences Mr. Prentss stated the
same Judge Winchester stated at Natchez that no sane
man could believe that Gen. Taylor would sign bill
embracing that measure and Col Bale Peyton-who
is believed by many to know Gen. Taylors opinions as
well he does himself, if not better-staed at Bayou
Sara that the South might rely safely him, and that he
would veto the Wmot Proviso; and further, great
many conversations of Gen Taylor to different indvidu
ais perfectly satisfactory to southern men, circulated
throughout Louisiana and Mississippi.
| notify you and all other ani-slavery of these
facts that you may have for charge of bad
faith against the southern States should you be deceived
in the course Gen Taylor will pursue, should ne be
elected
This notice is addressed to you particularly because
consider that you have made if not the highest the most
reliable bid for the leadership OF the great anti slavery
party, which it is evident will be arrayed against the
South during the next presidential canvass if have
another If there is treachery in this matter, it must be
settled between you and Gen Taylor, and not between
the anti slavery party OF the northern States and the
southern States.
Your most obedient, humble servant,
FELIX HUSTON.
