Ertroet Of a letter, dated


The Taylor wings undertake to prove General
Taylor to be opposed TO slavery in principle, and
in favor of the Wilmot Proyiso Mr.. Corwin,
accompanied BY Judge Walker, of Cincinnati,
has recently travelled over the northern part Of
Ohio, attending political meetings | have in
formation, from a source which can rely on,
that at Wooster, in Wayne county, Judge Wal
ker, in his speech, Informed the people that che
had seen letter from Gen Taylor in the hands
of highly respectable gentleman before he left
Cincinnati, declaring that he was opposed TO
slavery in principle, and that he would not veto
bill containing the Wilmot Provso." At Nor
walk, in Huron county, Mr.. Corwin, in his
speech, made the same statement in substance
At Sandusky City and at Mansfield, Mr.. Corwin
in his speeches qualified the statement in this
manner: He said that he could be witness
himself in behalf of Gen. Taylor; that he had
certain Information, and kneD the fact that Gen.
Taylor was in favor Of the Wilmot Proyiso, SC.
There is not one particle Ct doubt that Cass
and Butler will carry the state Of Ohio by large
majority. In resarl 70 Weller it is somewhat
doubful but we by no means despair OF cleo
ting him. The sky looks brighter than il did
Two weeks ago. But say again TO you. that as
things look nov, Ohio is as sure Tor Cas- and
Burlcr as any Stale in this Union. The sheriff
Of Ash'abula county is in Columbus. lie says
that Ashlabnla will give from 800 TO 1000
majority FIR Van Buren,. Mr. John Field, who
you know is very strong wing, has been in
Cleveland most OF the season, and ne says that
Ford will get large majority on the Reserve,
but Cass will beat Taylor 5000 there.
will mention an incident. He said he was
out al Beiitrd, Fifteen miles from Cleveland) and
saw II men uho were Tor Van Buren,; and he
took pains 10 ascertain their former politics
He found Ii had been wings, and one demo
crat We shall do we'll IN this county. We
confidently expect 10 carry the whole ticket.
II Weller is beat ur governor, do not let that
alarm you-!or the more Weller is beaten, The
worse il will BE- Tor Taylor. This may seem
strange logic 10 you, but ii is true. II it should
SO happen that Ford should have a large ma
jpriy the Taylor men would claim il triumph
for themselves, and that would make the t.ee-so
men work the NOR. for Van Buren,. The demo
Gratis were never better united than al he pres
ent time. The wings have made no proseytes
from our parry, nor have they attempted il.
They have had as much as they could DO 10 keep
their own party together.
p. S. There is not whig in Columbus that
will BET that Taylor will carry the State.
The above letter in the Union, no doubt pre-
,ents truly the state of facts in Ohio. Whether
Weller be beaten or successful for Governor, we
feel satisfied tina! the State will go for Cass and
Butler by decided majority. The gubernato-
rial election will be no test of the grand fight in
November, as is admitted in the following arti-
Gle by the Cleveland Herald, Wing:
sour neighbor Of the Express mistakes some
what the position of parties in our State contest,
SO far as Governor is concerned. But two no
limitations have been made, Ford and Weller. 1t
| is expected that the Van Buren, Free Soil men
will generally vote according to their former as.
socIations, with the exception, that consider
able portion of the old Liberty party vote will
be thrown for Mr.. Ford. Therefore, if General
Ford is elected BY very handsome majority, il
vii. not be regarded here, and should no, be
abroad as determining the question in favor OF
General Taylor
