TWO FACES.

That General Taylor has Northern
face, favorable 10 the Wilmot Proviso, is
not denied by any one, who reads the wing
prints ofthe day.
That he has Southern face, opposed to
that measure, so abhorrent to the citizens
ofthat section Of The State, we purpose, by
the following, extracts, to show.
Lett not he said that these are express
sions of his friends, made unadvisedly, and
without his knowIedge.-'rhey are the ex-
pressions of those into whose hands he
has committed himself, aud if he suffers
these things to be said Of him without
any attempt, on his part TO disabuse the
public mind, he is guilty not only of the
meanest kind Of duplicity, but Of a fraud
upon the confidence of those who would
be his friends.
But these are not altogether the opin.
ions Of his ds;-In his letter to the
Tuscaloosa (Alabama) monitor, he ex-
pressly disavows any intention on his
part Of sanctioning, the doctrines of the
proviso, to which his attention had been
called by the Editor Of the Cincinnati
Signal.
To which shall we be expected to give
credence,-to his friends at the south,-
some Of whom are his neighbors, and all
Of whom are more Interested in know.
ing his opinions upon this subject, which
to them is Of more Importance than all
others combined, or to those Of The north
whose assertions are in contradiction to
all the interests and feelings, springing
from the teachings and associations Of a
life time spent in the south.
Let those friends Of General TAYLOR,
in the north, who favor his election, on
account Of what may have been said OF
his opposition 10 the southern institutions,
examine carefully the opinions entertain
ed Of him by his southern friends. Here
are few Of them:
GENERAL TAYLoR's SOUTHERN FACE.
"An evenyul, thrilling, and highly dan
gerous crisis has been forced upon the
country by locofoco demagogues, regard
less Of the sanctity Of that Union, which
is so dear to every patriotic American
citizen. The W1LMor PRovlso, as it is
called, has opened fearful mine beneath
the foundations Of the sacred constitution.
That mine may explode at the hour of
midnight, and forever destroy the proud
est fabric Of human genius and virtue.
To avert this threatened evil, to close the
mighty chasm tina. begins to yawn be-
tween the free and slave States, is duty
we owe to ourselves, to our poste rity, to
the memory Of the illustrious dead. How
shall this be done?
eve must elect man for President Of
the United States who lives in our own
SUNNY SOUTH; who is willing to peril all
for the Constitution; who LOVES THE South
and HER CHERISHED INSTITU-
TlONS, and yet will do ample justice to
the North. And last, thong h not least,
we must, to ensure success, support can
didate for the Presidency, Of such an
overshadowing popularity, Of reputa-
ton that towers as the Himalays noun
tains, above all others.
'Such man is General Zachary Tuy-
lor. He LIVES IN THE SOUTH, AND MAKES
TWELVE HUNDRED BALES OF COTTON
ON THE BANKS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. HIS
INTERESTS, HIS FEELINGS ARE
ALL WITH US. Throughout the north
ern and free States he enjoys the un-
bounded confidence Of the entire people.
His patriotism, his genius, his undoubted
honesty, and entire devotion to tho Con-
stitution and the Union, will ever secure
him the support Of large majority in
every portion Of the United States. Who
shall say that General Taylor has not
been raised up at this eventful crisis, by
an an all-wise and overruIing Providence,
to quench the fires Of discord, and pre-
vent the downfall Of the Republic?
"Where is another man in the slave
States, who can receive even respect
able vote at the North! If we elect Gen.
Taylor, his genius will enable him to
guide our ship through the gathering
storm; his honesty, his sterling integrity,
will secure 10 us his best cndeavors; his
immense popularity will enable him 10
triumph over all opposition. Then, we
ask, in all candor, who will oppose Gen
eral Taylor?'-Ala6ama Wing.
"We rejoice at the selection, because
we feel that under such leaders victory
is certain-because we feel that the in
terests Of the country will be protected
BY him who has declared that his sole
aim will be the country's good-because
we feel assured that Cur rights as South
ern men may safely be trusted to one,
who is himself a Southern man and a
STAKEHOLDER. ''-Florida advertiser.
