Gen. Tayl0r's pOsitiOn on the Subj

porters, that General Taylor was nominal
ed by the Wing Convention at Philadel-
phia solely OH the ground Of his available
ty. That he has no political principles,
and is perfectly ignorant upon political
matters, he humbly acknowledges
Therefore, the advocates Of his election
can represent him to be any thing they
choose, as will best suit the different To-
calities where they hope to gain adherents
But particularly on the subject Of slavery
and the Wilmot Proviso is he represented
with two aspects to his face. AT the
North, he is represented to be in favor Of
the Wilmot Proviso because he has endors-
ed the article which appeared in the Gin
cinnati Signal, and avowed himself against
the exercise of the veto power. At the
South, his advocates contend that he is
opposed to the Wilmot Proviso, and will
certainly kill it with the veto, if elected,
because he is southern man and slave
holder, and therefore identified with
southern interests.
