Then follow extracts from sundry of his letters,
one dated May 20, 1885, accepting the Baltimore
nomination., one to Gansevort Melville, Esq. and
otbprs approving Mr.. Folks election, dated June g.
I8t4 one approving Mr. Polk and the Mexican war,
to Saml P. Collins, dated October 20, l847, one to
Mr. Harris opposed to the interference by Congress
m the subject of Slavery, written 1885, dated
September 10, 1885, published in the Augusta (Ga.)
Courier on the same subject written June 20,
1910, pledging himself not to sanction any Dill
granting appropriations of the public money to any
State soliciting aid for the emancipation of slaves,
and an extract from his inaugural address relating to
the subject of slavery, all of which can furnish
fom the pamphlet if necessary.
OnpaTe Of said pamphlet, after publishing the
hw of 1886 passed by the casting vote OF MIR. Van
Buren,, President of the Senate, the writer goes on
10 say:
" We think we have given from the record enough
to deter any Wing from supporting the nominee OF
he Buffalo Convention. We cannot, indeed, suppose
hat any man eren in the Wing ranks can be found so
destitute of consistency, or so lost to principle and
70 patriotism, as join in the crusade against the
nominees of the Whig party, made by the Conven-
ton of Whigs nationally represented at Phlladel-
pha If the Buffalo scheme Were to meet all the
success its warmest frieuds anticipate, 1t could only
rsut in the election of Lewis CasS-ot Lewis Cass /
pledged to veto any act which may keep slavery out
the free provinces of Mexico, which this govern
nent have recently secured by treaty. Gen. Taylor
Lewis Cass, the or the other must In the
curse of human events, fill the Executive office for
de next four years. In the one (Gen. Taylor) We |
End the honest man, the true patriot, the frank, IN
eligent, humane soldier, and man of the people he
boks the ballot box the source of political pow
tnactnents, and to the judiciary as the great con-
seryative department of the government, where ALI
geyances may be redressed, and all rights secured
Upon the other hand what have the country to hope
fom the election of Gen. Cass but aggressive wars,
he resistance of the popular will, the constant exer1
ase of the veto, the power, the extension Of
Lrerv and corrupt and profigate coalition between
tie ultra shareholders of the South and the dough ia
~ of the North The support of Mr.. Van Buren,
by any portion of the Whig party will contribute to
his result, and perpetuate the Southern influence
shich in foreign measures, brought on the war with
Mexico and the annexation of Texas, and which |
home, has destroyed the protective policy, wise
gstem of internal improvements, and contributed to
large public debt, and to the embarrassment OF
be whole American people"
Let Southern Wings here read the declaration made
ma Wing pamphlet printed at Wing office, J. G
s. Gideon and franked by Whig member OF Con- |
Eess that if Gen. Lewis Cass the Democratic Can
ate for the Presidency is elected, that Slavery
will be established in the Territory lately acquired
bT treaty. from Mexico. Let them read this admls-
sion from Wings, and with what consistency they
make the charge that Lewis Cass of Michigan is a
Nmot proviso man. Let them also read that the /
allegation is openly avowed, that the election OF
Gen. Taylor will prevent the further extension OF
Savery, and then inquire among themselves what Is
tie true interest of the South the question at ISSUE
kt to the interest of the South that Slavery should
eexended that Territory, or is it not? If is,
You see the declaration made by Wings, that the |
section of Gen. Cass will produce it, and Southern
Wings If they really desire such result, now have
an opportunity aid in promoting 1t by voting tor
Gen. Cass who is pledged to veto the Wimot pro-
risO. The extracts from the Wing pamphlet refer |
red to are copied correctly and prove one of two
hngs lst, that if Gen. Cass Is elected slavery will
be extended over our Southern Territories, and that
