Some of our democratic friends really thought too bad
that any portion of the portrait should be kept out Of
view Of the whole people and believed that the southern
face, drawn by the wings themselves for the admiration
of southern people, also had attractions which could not
fail TO be admired by the good people Of the northern
States Influenced by this laudable and liberal spirit

The little pamphlet sol four pages" exhibiting General
Tayors southern face not printed published at
the "Union Office" did the editor of the Union any
one concerned with "odice," know anything about
its publication As have before said done by
some OF our good natured friends from the northern States
for the purpose of showing the southern face of General

panimen of the northern face, with which that State had
Just been RECALLED by the wings 1t is also untrue that
100000 copies printed of the little four page affair

copies prnted-and that at least 100000 copies of
the northern face had just been published by the wing
committees and circulated through Pennsylvania for the
purpose OF securing the "free-soir for General
Taylor!
