sonal abuse they have, of these distinguished men,
hope no democrat will do this OF General Taylor We
can beat whgery and him too, without slanderng either
Gen Cass has been soldier, and brave one. He
has been dplomaist, and trner American America

wings is that he dared while minister TO France, to OPP
pose Great Britain and her kingy allies IN defeating the
