lead OF Truman Smith, in Connecticut, everywhere
that General Taylor is pledged not to veto the Wmot
Proviso any bill prohibiting slavery in the Territories
or ncw States At meeting held at Newburgh, Orange

Resolred, That according the principles avowed by
General Taylor he cannot and he will MOI veto anv biil
prohibiting slavery in the Territories ne,c States but
General Cass is pledged to, and will, every prohbi
ton OF The kind; and that therefore, Taylor Cass
be elected the friends OF liberty bound to
the election of General Taylor.
Mr. Hasbrouck the wing speaker of the assem-.
bly, of this State the year before last candidate for
Congress this fall and is supposed TO speak by authority
II will be that this resolution goes further than tie
resolutions of the barnburners and those passed at the
Buffalo Convention; The free soil party propose to pro-
hbt slavery in the Territories only leaving the States to
determine the question for themselves after thew are adj
mitted but here is asserted that Gen. Taylor will sign
a bill prohibiting slavery in new Suites II slavery can
be prohibited in new State BY the general government,
then il be abolished in old States This doctrine is
downright abotionism The South should understand
what the democratic party at the North has to contend
with, and be united in their support of Cass and Butler

Bulletin who with infinite gravity, claims Pennsy
vania for Taylor We do not suppose that there is
man of sense in the State who will endorse this idle
humbug. The Bulletin believes that Van Buren, will
take off more from Cass than from Taylor; that some
democrats may join Van Buren,, but wing. ''because
wing think of voting for loco like Van Buren,"
If by "loco' it means democrat we beg leave to say
that Van Buren, is apostae to the democratic party
and an abolitonst to boot in which capacity he may
take of from the Taylortes many of the abolition wings
So great is their apprehension of this result that they

which defeated them in 1914 and they attempt

same motives, and probably with no greater success.
