THE LAST WARNING-MOREC ONFIR
NATION.
The following leading article from the Pitts
burg Gazette, an influential Wing paper, Con
firms the views, which duty TO our cause and L
the South compelled US 10 present in conrexicr
with The appeal of Truman Smith 10 the people
Of Virginia. No comments are needed to give
point to The facts and arguments herein laid
down. Delanu of Ohio is one OF the rankest abo-
lilionists Of the age, JET he has been induced 10
come in and give his ardent support 10 General
Taylor, because he has "scen private leuer in
'6lqck and wiite," in which General Taylor sood
pledged no, TO irterpo>e The veto power 10 defeat
the Wilmot Provi;o"
Now We ask the rank and file OF the Southern
Wings (the leaders have gone SO far that no ap-
peal can reach them y, if ihsy are willing TO sus-
tain man who is Tins represented as having
/ pledged himself in writing to beray the South,
| and who virtually comedies The truth OF The as
ser.on by a sullen silence2 Are Southern
| Wings ready to suffer themselves 10 be called
the known and acknowledged opponents Of
slavery extension" and to contribute, by the
election of Taylor and Fillmore, 10 "the ri
umph Of the Wilmol Proviso 2" Let Southern
Wings and Democrats carefully weigh The grave
statements Of The following article. We cannot
but indulge the belief that large number OF the
rank and file Of Southern Wings will refuse 10
endorse such obnoxious doctrine, by voting for
TAYLOR who has surrendered 10 Northern aboli-
tonism, and for Fillmore, who is deeply imprsg
mated with anti slavery, an'i-Sou,hern feelings
But here is the article from the Piushurg Ga.
