Free Soil Documents.

Just issued at the press of the Freeman 5000 copies
of "oIade's Letters upon Free Soil and The Presidency"
Perhaps no better weapon could be put into the hands
of the Free Soil party of Vermont than these same
letters coming they do from a source of acknowl-
edged sagacty and ability, and from long time
a prominent actor IN the wing party. Let the work be
circulated, that an impartial public may judge whether
there is sufficient reason for the action of Mr. Sade
in leaving the whig party, whether the ekeng of
hireling prosavey press, and the abuse of malignant
men made tools, is finally mefited Price 81 per hun
bred. Send in the orders Immediately.
ALso,-a large supply of Everetts Address to the
wings of Vermont in vndicaton of his action at the
Philadephi Convention. Let these also be put into

The Responsibility,

The Taylor press of Vermont IS making great ado
in the Legislature obsnately held out against the
choice Of whig speaker, and the organization of the
House, for four days. at cost to the State of not less
than $4,000 A pungent writer in Waton's Daily
Journa-said to be "Dr. Cobb, Poet Laureate"-
charges this responsibility entirely upon the Free Soil
party. The journal editor nclines to the opinion that
this is little too severe that the blame rests upon the
Free Soil and democratic parties in proportion their
respective numbers This silly charge forms very
convenient fig leaf covering to those presses which
were guilty Of most outrageous asehoods, beforehand
with regard to the standing of parties in the legislature
No wonder they feel mortified at being exposed but it
is better to up at once than to resort to new
falsehood to up an old one A very modest re-
quest-to ask Free Soil men to surrender their princ
Pies abandon their organization and bety their con-
sttuents, by joining the Taylor party! They were e.
leced for no such purpose, gentlemen; and only
regret is that they not able, not only to hold the
Taylor party at bay until democratic help could be OBJ
tanned, but to defeat them altogether.
With regard to the responsibility: Free Soil men
could not in conscience, support the Taylor party or
candidate, sincerely believing they should thereby aid
in establishing, extending and perpetuatng slavery.
The Taylor men had no such excuse for opposing the
Free Soil party for their highest ambition is 10 estab-
ish their claim to be as good friends of Free Soil as
the vertable Free Soil party ITSELF In fact then,
where rests the blame?

TaYlNrS Pledges 10 the South.

While the friends of General Taylor at the North
admit that he is not specifically pledged to approve
the Wmot Provlso if called to act upon the subject
in his official capacity they stouy claim that he is
unpledged to the South and therefore may be trusted
by the North on the ground of his general pledge to
bow to the decisions of Congress upon all questions
of domestic voting" 1t now appears that while the
friends of General Taylor at the North have been Od
vocating his election the grounds above stated, he
has been making pOsitue pledges to the South TO veto The

RICHMOND, VA, Oct. l6, l648.
Dear Sir-In polica discussion, a few days ago,
in Orange county, DR.. Pannil, the wing county cleo
tor read letter from General Taylor in relation to
his opinion respecting the Wilmot Provso, which
decidedly against the measure. DIR. Pannl call
ed upon by the Enquirer for copy Of the letter. but
declined furnishing it. The democratic speaker,
younp man of high character and intelligence at the
meeting, heard the letter read and gives tho following
as its substance
The letter from General Taylor is of recent date
and acknowledges the receipt Of communication from
Dr. Pannill in which he, General Taylor, is informed
that democratic speakers endeavorng to make it
appear from his letter to the editor Of the Signal that
if elected President, he would favor the Wmo provi-
SO. Enclosed by General Taylor in this letter was
slip from some newspaper containing his views, as ex-
pressed in letter to some gentleman in Alabama, and
explanatory of his Signal letter in which explanation
he denied positively that he intended to commit HIM,
self to that measure and them in his letter to the doc
tor, he goes on to say that if after this and the many
other public evidences ofs hostility to that measure,
to say nothing of his extreme southern location, and
the fact that he owns some one hundred working
slaves there are those who will yet persist in saying
that he would favor it, then he must despair of setting
them right, and leave them TO their consciences and
their God

We have proof that Gen. Taylor continues to buy
negroes and make southern investments From his
section there come no charges even from his oppo-
nents that he is untrue to our rights None other are
more than idle can't The assertion, that in his first
Allison letter he meant by domestic policy our slave
Institutions is ridiculous. He clearly uses it in contra
distinction to foreign policy, and the aggressive no.

BULwER's New WoRK.-Bulwer's new novel,

just been published, at latest dates, in London
One of the notices of the book says:
81 more vivid idea may be formed of this great
conflict of the great Saxon and Norman races, and
of the characters and motives of the actors i'll it.
from this splendid production than can be derived
perhaps from any purely historical work accessible
As picture of life in the oden times, it will take
rank with Ivanhoe. The same exquisite tracery o.
thought and subimty Of illustration that character
ize the Last Days Of Pompeii,' Bienzi,' etc, are
found to deck the pages Of the present work, al;
though somewhat subdued, and OF more chastened
grace. The scene of the final conflict between the
contending monarchs with thefall of Harold, forms
one Of the most dramatic and superb pictures it is
in power of the pen to produce.

RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO GEN TAYLOR
The old hero stands on the brow of the HILL
With his heart in the thick OF the tray,
Where his suuadrOns beneath him are battlng sun,
On the eve OF that terrible day.
His duick eve has numbered the mastering bands,
And he points to the enemy S nag,
While the battery the Old man S commands,
A little more grape, Captain Bragg
The foemen charge home with laundering shock,
And a touch OF CdstIllan pride
They dash on our lines like wave on the lock,
When storm is abroad on the ude
The wave faleth back, but the rock standeth still,
There is heart IN that bTsting cTag- go .u
And The old man stands yet the brow OF the hill
A little mo re grape, Captain Bragg ~
Then spoke the loud cannOn-t Numbered again.
Like spirits they scream on the ar
And the fallen are lying in swathS on the plaln,-
Deaths busiest Teapers are there =
But now is the song of those death-reapeTs STILL
Yet let not our battie-sOng lag
Hurrah to the old man who stood on the mn
And - A little more grape, Captain Bragg !"
