TuF ABorJTIoNIST AND HIS ENDoR-

THE ABOLITlONlSl AM 11io G1NDoAs
SER.
The reader will recollect that some weeks
since there was quite stampede amongst the
Wings of the city OF Albany, Uhe capital OF
tho GREAT State of New York; occasioned
principally by Gen. Taylor's having accepted
the nomination of some Charleston Democrats
on the ticket with Cen Butler. The true blue
Wings of New York took fire at this, and
kicked up quite fuss, considering It, the &C
ceptance of the nomination with Butler as an
insult to their own Fillmore" Gen. Taylor
saw all this, we presume, and either OF his
own accord, or through the suggestions OF
friends, he determined to set all this matter
right. Accordingly his Allison letter No. 2
was written, from which we clip the follow
ing sweet paragraph -
"The National Wing Convention met IN June.
and selected me as their candidate. accePteu
the nomination with gratitude and with PRIDE. l
was proud of the confidence of such body OF
men--representng such a constituency as the
Wing party of the United States, manifestation
the more grateful, because it was not numbered
with exactions incompatible with the dignity OF
the Presidential Office, and the responsibilities OF
the incumbent to the whole people OF the nation.
And may add, that these emotions 1cere tncreas-

MIGHT HAVE JUSTLY ENTITLED HIM TO THE
FIRST PLACE ON THE TICKET
Now don't the old gentleman put the bIar-
ney on TO Millard tolerably thick If it does
not bring Filmore's AboIitionist friends all
straight, then nothing will So Gen. Taylor
endorses the &c sound conservative opinions y
of Mr. Fillmore, and thinks that he was just
y entitled to the first place on the ticket -
Voters of North Carolina, will you submit TO
be insulted in this way, and still continue to
lick the hand that insults you g Sound con-
sentative opinions" indeed, where rank Abo-
ltionism forms the most prominent in the set.
If any Southern man doubts that Gen. Tay
lor has now yielded himself, body and soul,
to the domination, influence, and control of
that Northern school of Wing politicians whose
votes have been uniformly registered against
the South, whenever her peculiar institution,
and her rights connected with it, were involved,
let him engrave the above words on his memory
and his heart, and doubt no more. Whenever
the reader wants to see what are the " sound
conservative opinions" which Gen1 Taylor
admires so much in his friend Fillmore, and
which he Gen. Taylor thinks in his magma
nimity ought to have entitled him (Fillmore)
to the first place on the (PresidentiaO ticket,
let him look at his letter written in 1888,
where he avows and approves the most obnox-
ious of the Abolition doctrines. And this is
the worthy pair, Willard Fillmore the Adolf
ZIONIST, and Zachary Taylor his endorser, that
Southern men are called upon to place in the
two first offices Of the Republic Why it is
enough to make the face of a Southern man
burn with shame to think of it.
THE WAY TAYLORIsM WORKS IN MAS.
SACHUSETTS.
We have quoted the declarations of the
great New England Federalist-Daniel Web
ster-made at Marshfield, on the first of this
month, that the main reason why the wings
of Massachusetts should support Gen. Taylor
is, that he Gen. To- is opposed to the extern
sun slavery. This wEtk We present Oul
readers with an extract from the address pu
forth by the Massachusetts, Wing State Con-
vention. 1t will be seen from this document
that the federalists of New England are urged
to support Taylor on the ground that hei op.
posed to the extension of slsvery into the
territories of New Mexico and California; and
this is the same Gen. Taylor that is urged up.
on the South as the particular friend of the
slaveholding States! We ask the people Of
North Carolina TO look at these things, and
ask themselves if they can support man fol-
any ofice-especially for the Presidency
who will permit this unfair game to be carried
on with his knowledge and consent. The
| following is the extract:
There are a few dissatisfied Wings, who say
they feel indignant at the attempt of the slave
power TO extend this institution into territory
now free. So do we. And we are resolved, az
firmly they can be, to resist that unhoy attempt
and do all in our power to confne slavery within
its present limits. Under all the circumstances O
the case, we are satisfied that the election of Gen
Taylor is the most effectuai way of securing the
object which we all have at heart and we advise
and forwarn cur Wing friends who have formerly
acted with u.s. that any other course must end ir
the election Of Gen. Cass, and consequently ir
the further extension of slavery. Such are oul
convictions, and such we believe will be the con
cIusion to which all free soil Wings will come or
due reflection.
On the question of the ordinance of 1887, the
sentiments of Gen. Taylor are believed to be ir
accordance with those of the Wings of Massachu

directly opposed TO them The Democratic can
ddate has told US, in his letter TO A. o. P. Mich
olson, esq, that Congress has 40 constitutions
power TO exclude Slavery from newly acquir
ed Territories consequently he would veto any
bill which contained the provision of the ordinance
of 1887 On the ch her hand Gen. Taylor has
told US in his Allison letter, that he should leave
all questions of domestic policy" to the action
of Congress, and should feel bound to carry ou
their will. 1t is true that he claims the right o
exercising the veto power IN cases of clear uncon
stitutionaliIy; but he says that the President
ought not to interpose his objections, ',cbere CUES
