lghtened, patriotic, united, Wing party OF the
United States.
Having mistaken the evil, our correspond
ent mistakes the antidote. He thinks the
evil of scctionalism can only be met by an
opposite sectionalism. But this is tosteT'"g'
not discomaging, sectional spirit. We are
ashamed to say anything of so plain matter
A man who had lost one of his neither limbs
by a cannon shot, would hardly seek to COM
bat this sectional prejudice" by amputatlng
the other. If any section shall press its local
questions into the national canvass, it is the
duty of good citizens in all sections, not to
initiate the bad example, but to frown upon
it, and abide with inhexiblo fidelity by the
national issues. In word, the only cure for
scctionalism is Nationality.

WINGS, BE WARNED!

We do not mean to say that honest Libcrtists do
sire the election of Casa for the sake of the advan
tage which that event would give therpary. Some
of the leaders may be cunning and heartlcss enough
in their ambition, for this-but we judge no num-
Nor do VIC mean to say that tho union of Barnbur-
ners and Lbcrtsts will i" ITSELF promote the election
Of Cass, but just the contrary. We dosay however
that their avowcd design to seduce into their COM
pany Wings enough to secure them the balance Of
power in the Electoral vote, if successful will secure
the election of Cass.
Remember Wings, that in the House which is to
choose by States between the three candidates high
est on the Electoral vote, Is States are committed
to Cass and arc tcd-leaving but - at most for
Taylor. Remember, that thus every Wing vote for
Van Buren, does its utmost to give Cass his only
chance for the Presidency.

Eulogy is dignifed with the name Of a Ser

called him to hold up before his fellow.mcn
in its true colors,-is all which this proiessed
minister Of the Gospel dareS or "dcems fit

members of both political parties!
Had tho post assigned him been that of

Had he accepted it, even then, VIC see not

that their dcgencratng successors might take

WHAT IS GENERAL TAYLOR2

Barnburner authority having "riz" so remarka-
bly within few weeks with the members of the
late Liberty Party we venture to submit the follow
inc testimonial, volunteered by John Van Buren's
Utica Convention. John can hit the nail on the
head and tell the exact truth as clearly anG forcibly
as any man living-when it suits his purpose
Rcsolred, That GEN. TAYLOR, BY HIS MAsTERLY
CoRREsPoNDENCE with the War Department, no
less than by his heroic conduct and indomltable
GOODNESS and courage on the field of battle, has
shown himself to be not only distinguished militia
nv CuIEFTAIN, BUT A MAN OF GREAT MENTAL AND
MORAL POWER and whose life has given evidence of
A STRONG HEAD, AN HONEST HEART, AND RE
rr3LICAN SIMPLICITY OF cHARAcfEE.

The Prisoners are Ten-thousand,- all the

this world. The spirit and substance of it,
please God, will never die in this or any

Such is Dunbar Battle; which might also
be called Dunbar Drove, for it was a fright

misunderstanding of the difference between

THE MADNESS OF PARTY AND THE KNAVE-
RG OF AMBITION!

In 1871, the great Third Party distractions of ''no
expectancy candidates." " no choice between evils, ~
&c. &c., were boldly avowed by that party to be
paramount to all consequences, and dearer to them
than even the present success of their party or wei
fare of their country. For the sake of those abb
stractions they not only permitted but aided, the
election of Polk, Annexation, War and Conquest,
all which they must confess that they might have
prevented by voting for Henry Clay, or even remain
ing neutral
Nor, these potent gods to which they "coNsC1-
ENTIoUsLY" inundated their country'5 honor and
peace with the bleeding bodies of thousands Of their
human brethren, arc dashed to the ground by tho
same hands which reared thcm,- for what? Is it,
with late repentance, to save what yet remains
Mott is to promote so far as they can, in the same
way as before, the contamination of these national
crimes and disasters, by the election of Cass and the
subsection of millions Of free acres to the curse Of
Slavery!

name!"

GEN. TAYLoRNoTAP ARTIzAN CANDIDATE

GEN. TAYLORNOT APARTIZANC CANDIDATE
Some men affect inability to discern the
difference between cherishing a particular
political creed, and being a partizan or, il
you please, party-man, or again, a party
candidate. No such confusion of ideas exists
in the mind of Gen. Taylor. He has from
the first, and uniformly ever since, unequiv-
ocally asserted his attachment to the princi-
pies of the Wings. "In individual opinion, y
says he in one of his letters, al shall always
be attached to the principles of the Wing
party" He has repeated this assurance in a
variety of forms, ard it has been corroboratcd
by the testimony of all who have ever known
him. lie has also, with great uniformity,
| asserted his determination, if elected to the
Presidency, to enter that office untrammellcd
by partizan obligations, and uncommittcd to
party schemes. lie will not, he says, be the
President of Party, but of the whole coun-
try. lie has seen enough of the evils of
partizan strife in the administration of the
Government, and so have we. IF Wing
principles cannot prevail without making the
Presidency party agency for their support,
let them perish. These declarations are hon
orable to Gen. Taylor-worthy of the hero
who conquered at Buena Vista, and who
spared the conquered, at Monterey.
The following is a letter Of Gen. Taylor to
u gentleman in Philadelphia, re-aflirming
these determinations; nothing more, nothing
less.
BATON ROUGE, July "a, 1913.
Dear Sir,-Your letter of the 9Th inst,
asking of me line or two, in regard to my
position as a candidate for the Presidency,
has been duly received.
In reply, have only to say, that am not
party candidate, and if elected, shall not
be the President ola party, but the President
of the whole people
l am, dear sir, with the highest respect and
regard, your most obedicnt servant.
