10 the speech IL his Representatives in

But the following Is perhaps The most
extraordinary parI Of Col. Jones's ePis-
lies
General Taylor il d Southern man
aud can add no strength 10 the South on
4 sectional question. even supposing him
favorable TO our view 0f il. and we have
reason tn believe be is not. Pine masses
at tie North are being arrayrd against
him. and IL is confidently asserted thai he
csnnnt get ! single State North of the
PoIamlc if he does nnl pledge himself 10
support the Wilmot Prnvisa. lie can't
be elseied without going against the South.
The South should not, aud | trust viii
no, Support him, unless he avows himself
~ fully identified with her on all the great
questions before the country; This he will
NOT do and We are necessarily thrown up.
on Gen. cass, who brings To our support
the only pnrtinn of the Sorihern and
North Wasiern people who have a just
regard for our rights-why should We he.
state; he is pledged as dearly as a man
can be to sustain Us in the war whirh
has been waged against US; he has dlsIincI-
terfers with slavery in the States or in the
territories. He has heretofore voted
sgius, The Wilma: Proriso, aud have
not The least doubt he will veto it, il il
should ever be applied 10 territory South
nf The Missouri Compromise line. On
this question ten. Taylor Is in piiiable
position. Ills friends a, the North urge
upon The public, thai he will not veto the
wilmnt Proviso, whilst his friends at The
South insist that being Soulhern man
and STAKEHOLDER, there can be no doubt
but he will vs,o il. As he cant do both,
il is evident he must deceive Que or the
other section. Is this proper posilinn
fora candidate who aspires TO I'LL tie most
dignifed nfIire upon earlh!"
Now If Gen. Taylor. as President.
can add 20 strength 10 the Sonih because
he is Southern man, why should we not
elrct our President and Vice President,
AMI all our Congressman. from the North!
Aud If there be reason to believe That Gen.
Taylor is not with us. why are the mas
ses al the North araying themselves
against him! II The masses al the North
ara against him. is that not proof that he
is with us. and that he will not pledge
himself Ia support the WiImot Provisn.
even though his refusal 10 10 so max pre-
vent his getting a single s ale North Of
the Po'omac! Col. Jnnes's assertion that
Gen. Csss will bring 10 our support the
only portion of the Northern people who
have a Just regard 10 our rights. is so nl-
terry dlsprnSed by the fact that the very
Convention ard Legislature of Michigan
which nominated Cass passed the most
hitter denunciations of slavery. that we
wonder al his veniuring 50 bold All asser-
lion And then his statement of the " pitt
able position" Of Gen. Taylor is 50 exart-
ly applicable To Casg, that one may well
imagine that noilIiug but ignorance Of what
is going on in the world could have Undue
Ell him TO venture upon such remark.
II Taylor must deceive one or the 9th
or seclion." how is il with cass. Is not
he run at the Souih as a i,ieud Of Slave
ry and al the North as lis enemy! We
wish somebody would show Col. Jones

abound in the Northern papers,

cord. Mass, on the 18th of August, the
