BE ON YOUR GUARD!


Letters from Washington say that they
have reports of Jorgeries, manufactured by
locofocos nj the South TO send North for the
Cnss and Van Buren, papers, upon the char
meter and conduct of Gen. TNylor--fsi!ying |
him in relation to Slavery, Sc. llnlfadoZen
ofthis Sort, like the Mississippi fabrication,
have been exposed. The last great cards will
will appear just before election, too late to be
rciuted
General Taylor has said, in his Alison let
tcrs, ALI he intends to upon matters relating
TO the Presidential canvass. Any statement,
therefore, which mny appear Mt vorinnce with
what he has therein said, in the Loco'oco pa
pers, ofeiher tue CaSs or Van Buren, stripe,
depend upon it, will prove to be FORGER
les. Once more we caution the friends of
General Tuylor to be ON THEIR GUARD.
The last story is given in tho following let
ter written 10y as responsible man rs there

suit is base plan 10 impose on the people
of the Notwithstanding StntcsLby circulating
the papers in the ease, on the eve Of the e.
lccron,) the beliefthnt General Taylor has
been in the slave market. am well assured
that I've neither purchased, hired, lcused. nor
Obtained the slavc;and that he was, i'm fact nm
utter stranger to the transaction. In the first
instance, General Taylor supposed that the
, object was TO cXtort money from him, by
reason ofthe dricncy OF his positions; bun our
friends in New Orleans are led to suspect,
from the circumstance that copies have beer

detcstahle plot is on foot to defeat, by the
means here indicated. tie election of Gcner-

remedy for the mischief.
