other documents prepared for the South which
'Icn Cass as "Wilmot proyiso man, and Gen Taylor
the champion and interested friend Of the extension Of ave
and utterly without foundation and are made with that
and disregard Of honesty which have ever charac

political oPPonens that seek the secluson Of ov
buildings lwhefe none are permitted enter save with the
sign OF Democratic faith, the ,oas of penentayu
nom which to send forth the political intelligence that faith
u to the record will enable the honest people of the country
to judge correctly between the principles and policy Of the
contendng parties.
Resolved, That the assertion made that thew have in cir
culation fourteen lives Of Taylor representing him as one
thing in one, and another thing in another su,ing him to
each meridian, and to every faction each meridian Of the
country fasehood wanon and papabIe that, in the
dres agony OF the serpent crushed anil expiring though he
none could nave deemed possible and few, apprehend
will be found SO increduous to believe.
Resolued That means Of testing their ability 10 nrove
the above CHARGE invite and defy them to produce more
than life Of Taylor prepared and circulated BY the hp
Congressional Committee any other committee person. or
PERSONS Of this city, excepting only the newspaper articles of

BILE Of dlrecng and above ALL that may have the salts
faction to know that they safely through the nails and
not be sent around Cape Horn the Dead Sea to reach the
county Of York, in Pennsylvania
Resolred at the time, That, should this proposition
meet with the concurrence of our Democratic friends sim
ply express the wish that these lives may be directed by the
honest and worthy men of their party, do relish the
plan of bringing occupation in competition with the labor
Of ielons and convicts of State prison.

eight pages published at the Congressional Globe Office
in March and the other in June last one of which seeks

cursly' in the sacred archives of their party.

ResoUed That fraternize with Democratic friends
the proud defiance with which they witness the agony of
he "crushed serpent" and his vain effort to spit forth his
at the humane soldier who spared the weak and help
less Monterey, the beautiful who dwet within its walls and
The innocent who cung her maternal bosom, which wise
As serpent from the toiworn soldier Of Pso Alto and
