The Rat00n and Us Abolition
Allies,

The RIioon publishes a string Of ''..tracts con-
tanning the yilest abuse of General Taylor, the
spirit Of whirh will he sern in two extracts below.
These extracts are Published 10 show that the pa
Pc,s containing them intend opposing Gen. Tay-
Or, though they have before acted with the Wing
party. Well, the editor Is welcome TO spch &C
ecssions to his party; hut perhaps he is not
aware that his friends IN this state have hereto
fore denounced the Wings because some Of the
ahOliIionists supported their candidates, and North
Carolina Democrats may no, now he disposed to
exuli at having abOltioniis as allies in opposing
Zen. Taylor.
The following arc the extracts TO which we re-
fel, which we copy from the RATION Of last week /:
The New Hampshire Independent Democrat
(whie) thus denounces;
He lTayior) raises slaves Cor the market, and
makes merchandise u his iellow-men. He has
one hundred mothers, with OF without hahies Tor
slle in the shamhlcs. Ne FURNISHES Cre0ie rir-
gas for he hsiis IF Nsto Orlezns'"
"Thc Zcnia. o., Torclllishi qucries-
induce the people Of The United States to prefer
him to any aud every other man in the country :
They know him 10 be a most adroit skuli-bregk-
er. tayuaf-euffey, hOuss-Lreaktr, and romcH and
ehia slayer ?" &c. &c.
An important question seems 10 he necessarily
suggested by these extracts. II Gen. TaylO Is 50
bitterly opposed by abolitiouists because be L a
slaveholder, is this no. a very good reason why
the people ofthe south should support him We
wonder the question did not suggest itself 10 the
editor Of the Ratoon, and hold him to the more
willy policy Of many Of his contemporaries, and
cause him to confine his quotations TO such abo.
lition sources as Sustained the Wings, leaving
out those which opposed them.
