GEN. TAYLOR's POSITION.

The "Irue Whlg, true TO It's lying propensl-
ty, accuses as of quoting. from the Washington
Union in relation to Gen. Taylor We have done
no such thing. 1t is the "True Whig" which
has repeatedly quoted from that and othersI oco
Foco'' organs the most 'slanderous" msrepre-
sentations of the Generals position. We have
always copied from the staunchest and truest
Taylor Wing organs to be found in the country,
published in Gen. Tayor's own region-and
they all denounce such miserable FALSE
HOODS the True Wing propagates, as fol-
charge that Old Zack would sanction the Wilmot
Provso:
''The charge carries such an ABSURDITY
on its very face, not to deserve a serious refu-
tation. Gen. Taylor, Southern man, the desti
ny OF himself and his children identified with that
of the South, HIS IMMENSE WEALTH con.
ssting in SLAVES, and lands which have to be
cultivated by SLAVES TO render it vauable-he
enemy to the South -he in favor OF prosrat-
ing Southern rights and interests! The very
quintessence of absurdity They might as aceH
sGyGen Taylor is a free negro. They ,co,tid be
believed just about as soon, and exhibit fully as
much reason and truth in making the charge''
The Augusta (Geo.) Republic says to the same
base charge of Provisoism in old Zack:
''The General owns too many 'NIGGERS' for
that, and he will not go for the Provso till
somebody can make one of the blackest ones
white by washing him"
Such is the universal tone of Gen. Tavlor's
own exponents and supporters throughout his
section OF country-and yet we have among US

ed as "infamous" by the Generals own papers
all over the South The Northern TayIorites
DARE NOT quote from Taylor's own organs,
but hawk about what they KNOW TO be the
grossest misrepresentation, thinking they can
DUPE the honest yeomanry of the North into
the support Of one of the greatest shareholders
and most nyeterate slavery -extensionists in the
country.
Listen to some more staunch Tayor organs
The New Orleans Picayune, published in Tay-
ior's own neighborhood, says:
"There is no man in the South more BITTER
LY OPPOSED to the Wilmot Proviso, and the
principles it involves, than Gen. Taylor"
The n 0. Bee and Courier are equally EN-.
phatic, as we have shown, in defining the true
position of their candidate-decaring Taylor
will so exert his power, if elected, as "to Sc.
CURE to the shareholders the privilege to car
ry their slaves with them to the newly acquired
territory" This he will do. The Aberdeen
(Ala.) Wing, alluding to the odious Wilmot Pro
Vlso as being originated by "Locofoco dema
gogues," advocates Taylor because he is the
SUREST man to PUT DOWN and DESTROY
that measure, by his veto and other influences
We quote from that sound Taylor Wing print

mighty chasm that begins to yawn between the
free and slave States, is duty we owe 10 our.
