SOMEBODY Is TO BE CHEATED"
Such was the exclamation Of an intel
ligent Wing politician ofthe sta,eof New
York, with reference to tic event Of the
election or General Taylor 10 tho Prcsi-
dency Of the United States, aud such we
doubt not is still the conviction Of that
same individual, now that the event in
all probability has transpired.
The election Of General Taylor has
been accomplished in a manner which
must ofsnecess,y result in the dlsappoint-
ment and deep modification Of a portion
Of those who have been his friends and
ardent supporters.
Either his friends at the North, or his
J friends at the South are destined to be
como tho dupes Of the most Infamous sys-
tenn Of deception and duplicity ever prac-
ticed on them by the leaders Of the Fed
eral wing party. 49,
No question has been more fully dis
cussessed by the American people during
the campaign which has just closed, than
the probable exercise, or non-exercise Of
the Executive veto by General Taylor
upon the principle Of the so called Will
motProviso, should law embodying it
be, passed by Congress under his ad-
ministration. In the absence Of all posi-
tive evidence upon the subject, the wing
leaders Of the north have omitted no op-
portunity to assert in the most positive
terms, and to use the most cunning and
artful sophistry to make the people be.
lieve that General Taylor was pledged
against the use o. such veto. Contrary
TO their own convictions Of truth, they
have failed not to make this Imaginary
pledge one Of the strongest reasons why
the suffrages Of the citizens Of the free
states should be given to their candidate!
The Allison letter, prepared as it is
believed by junto Of whig leaders in
Washington City, and artlully made to
mean anything, or nothing, as the ext
gencies Of the case might demand, is ap-
pealed to. and held up as the evidence Of
such an assumption. Presenting upon
the ignorance and practising upon the
credulity Of the people, they have
moulded this manufactured document in
sos'ssha'ever shape might best suit their
g., and succeeded in forcing the
lction upon thousands, that the grea,
ilern Shareholder is an advocate of
Proviso doctrine, and that he is pedg
nst the use Of The Veto upon this
