The Richmond Wing is one Of the ablesI
Taylcr papers in the union. II is filled every
day with strong articles and convincing ar
guments addressed TO its readers, in favor OF
Taylor and Fillmore. But we never see
these articles copied into the Taylor papers
oil this city Of this State. For some reason
or other the Taylor papers of the South and
the North are nat upon good terms they
don't quote each others articles they slight
each other in a very pointed manner We
are disposed 10 give our Taylor friends some
thing stronger and better than the platitudes
Of the Daily Advertiser and Dlily Alias
Here is one Of the Richmond Wings ablest
articles. In a short space it furnishes the
most convincing proof that Taylor is just the
man the people want. We suppose that our
Free Soil friends will object To our giving
place to Taylor articles, bnt we are willing
to let the people hear all sides Of the 1ues-
ton. He;e is the Richmond Wings argu-
ment for Taylor.
TAYLOR AND FILLMORE IN THE SouTH.-In
looking over the accounts of the Wing meet
ings through the States, we discover that
those persons who constitute them are COM
posed, in a very great degree, of the largest
Shareholders amnng us. They, it seems, are
perfectly willing TO trust Taylor and Flllmoe
they have no fears for The safety of their
property-they do not believe that the Wing
candidates will, if elected, do anything to
impair their right to their property, or to
weaken their grasp upon it. 1t is those dis
interested gentlemen, who have no slaSes
themselves, that are principally alarmed on
the subject.
Those who really would be injured by
any assault upon Southern rights or Southern
property, feel themselves assured, if other
assurances were wanting, by the fact that
Zachary Taylor is himself a STAKEHOLDER, and
that he can do nothing to iniure himself at
the same time. If a man goes on board Of a
ship 10 cross the Atlantic, does he require
bond and s~ecurity-does he ask pledges of
the captain that he will carry him safe TO the
end Of his voyage! Certainly he does not.
He knows that the danger Of the one is the
danger Of the other also. He knows III t if
the ship 90 to the bottom, the Captain and
crew must go along with the passengers.-
Community of interest and Of danger is The
strongest pledge he could possibly give, and
that he gives by the rery terms Of his under
taking.
SO it is with Zachary Taylor. Why ASK
PLEDGES OF HIM UPON THE SUBJECT OF SLAVE
RY, WHEN II FACT THAT HIS WHOLE ESTATE
CONSISTS OF LAND AND NEGROES, AND THAT
WHEN THEY GO HE MUST be A BEGGAR, Is THE
VERY STRONGEST PLEDGE RE COULD POSSIBLY
GIvEl Has Lewis Cass given any such
pledges as this =! Is his interest the same
with that of the slaveholderf II every slave
in the Union should be liberated Tomorrow
does he lose anything by it!
If it can be supposed that he will be a
watchful guardian over the interests Of the
South, is ii not fair 10 suppose that Zqshury
Taylor wiH be far more 500
