OUT FOR TAYLOR.
We find in the Shreveport Journal, let
ter from James CLAIR Gilmer, formerly OF this
county, in which be reputIiaies Cas-. and de-
cares enthusia ticaly for the brave old pat
riot Of Bucna Vista. We will give me ex-
tracts from IT, The idea that those " no OBJ
ject to the Wing Vice President on grounds
that they do not object to put in d.mocrdiic
President, and which apply equally to him,
are putting the cart before the horse," is
worthy of consideration. According to dem
ocratic notions these DAYS, the Vice Presiden-
cy which used to ''go begging. is tho im
poriant office in the gilt Of the people, II is
very safe, according to their statement 10 take
northern man Tor the unlmportant office of
PresideDt though an unexceptionable South
ern man aud Stakeholder is running against
| him; but il would be highly dangerous 10 take
IA northern man for the important office OF
/ Vice President. Verify circumstances force
men to strange courses.
! Mr. Glmer, after stating he was a democrat
and voted for Polk, expecting that some of
the professions OF the platform would be
carried out in which he saws he was disap-
pointed" declares as follows
''My next vote will be for Gen Taylor, BE-
cause believe him TO be the .trmeSt man in
the world. and farther removed above and be-
yond party and political Influence than any
man in the world. | would point out his
position at Buena Vista Tor his Grmness.
would point out bis public aud private char.
for my views Of his political worth. | would
point out his Allison letter as my political
creed.
My ssons for writing the above is to put
some ulhaorn friend AT rest concerning my

oat hope 10 educate six children to wcr-
IL principles and not names"
In the last ten days, have had more thaaa
dozen copies OF Fillnores votes on the slave
ry question, and would say to the kind friend
who are 81 much interested in protecting me
from abolition views, keep me Tree iroin the
man, who IN foreign land prayed for the abb

as having placed the car, b~lore the hors and
i'll this arrangement disagree with them.
