The last Saturdays Richmond Wing contains long
letter from Mr. Bos which reviews the second Allison
letter We regret that have spare for the
whole of itfor it spirited and spicy throughout Mr.
B. accounts for the appearance OF his Geographic bulletin
in New York. and his recent letter. which published
without his authonty-being private answer to pri-
vate gentleman, and marked "priyate" at the top. He
says he has been threatened by many that they will not
vote for him unless he makes Taylor speech; but he
declares that this exaction infringement. his per-
sonal honor and independence, and that he would not
yield to it if he lost every in his district; and that
'f speeches plenty blackberries, he would not
make one under compulson" He exposes the equvoca
positions which General Taylor has assumed, and ex-
plains the grounds of his own objection to him. The
whole letter piquant; but compelled to confne
ourselves TO the following extracts:
My struggle has been the people have resisted the
politicians because believed they disregarded the popular
will fought fer what believed 10 be great prin-
cpIe looked this boasted government OF ours as
representative government; and when saw nation Of
people consisting OF twenty millions nearly equally
divided in their political principles, thought one or the
other of the parties which might be able obtain major
iy the polls entitled to be represented in the Chief
Magistrate OF the nation and when saw soldier from
the camp whom all must acknowledge TO be without civil
experience practical knowledge either in regard TO
foreign domestic relations stepping forward candi
date fill this high and responsible office, thought 1t but
just and proper that the people, in the language OF the
Richmond Wing were entitled to know the opinions OF a
candidate before they voted do subscribe to the doc
trine laid down in his McConkey letter, when he says
81 have laid down principle give my opinions
upon trious questions of policy at issue between
the political parties OF the country"

Cayand presume there will not be, for fear there is
wing spirit and energy enough left in the State to get
one certainly shall vote for him upon the ground that
prefer 10 take of having the government ad
sound rather than the certainty OF
having administered on unsound principles but when
give vote, must be borne in mind that It is my indi
vidua vote, that man has right to control am a
free to exercise my judgment pom General Tayor quail
and whigery other man IN the district and
shall give choose; but If the election should come
TO the House. it will then be the vote OF the district and
shall give it my constituents choose but II yield my
vote to TAYLOR viii yield to TAYLoRlsM which Is
more ruthless and proscrptve than Jacksonsm ever was
Jack sonism only prescribed its enemies; Tayiorsm pro-
scribes its friends Jacksonsm prescribed those who did
not subscribe the principles 1t avowed Iayorism pro-
scrbes those who adhere rgdy to them Jacksonisb

those they have -f. Jacksonsm suffered man to
think himself if he voted rights Tayorsm requires ONE

them.
Now in regard to the Allison letter No 2, which have
