ther it be terminated before by the acquisition of
territory, it will be of vital consequence TO the
North whether the President be stakeholder,
or man opposed TO that institution. If this war,
commenced to foster that institution, should con-
unue, we want man at the head of our affairs
who will not sacrifice thousands of lives and mil
mons OF money to carry on the war for such an
lngIorlous purpose; and if peace is made and we
acquire large portion Of territory we want an
Executive who will insist that that territory shall
not be cursed with slavery. LET THE FREE
MEN OF THE NORTH LOOK WELL TO
THIS AND IF THEY DESIRE TO HAVE
OUR GOVERNMENT DEVOTED TO THAT
INHUMAN INSTITUTION FOUR YEARS
MORE, LET THEM CHINE IN WITH
CERT.AI.N WIRE PULLERS 1T THE
SOUTH IND .4DVOCATE THE NOM
LNATJON or GEN T-4YLOR. Let them
remember that new paper has been started at
Washington under the auspices OF certain slave
holding gentlemen, and those devoted TO their
interest, to aid the cause of the hero of Bcena
plStd, and that no pains will be spared in Ten
nessee, il Kentucky, in Virginia, aud other
Southern States, TO BRING THE WING
PARTY INTO THAT N'OyNIN.4TION.
Let the Northern Wings look we'll to this; and
If they have halt the watchiulness that their
Southern friends possess they ,rU at once enter
their protest against such q measure. THE
NORTH HAVE BEEN RULED BY THE
SOUTH LONG ENOUGH. 1t is time that the
majority should rule. A nation Boosting of free
institutions has alrf ady shed blood and wasted
treasure enough, 10 sustain an institution at war
with the first principles OF our Constitution We
have FELT THE IRON HEEL OF SLAVE
RY Long EWOUGH, one would think, to
induce US to ASSERT OUR RIGHTS and to
-ACT LIKE FREE.MEN.
READ the following letter add essed to Hon.
Charles Allen, dated
WASHINGTON May 2s, le48
My DEAR SIR-Tle time is approaching when YOU will
be at the big Convention select Candidate the
Presidency and presume that yoa feel just as felt
1899 that you wish TO be governed by Your of
proprety and not by the politicians at Washington Ii
would he great blessing to the country, if the members
here would leave the whole the Delegates. But
there are certain men here who have made the business
selecting candidate great business the season
The Taylor men have been instant in an Of
season 10 press his claims and in fact demand Tor him
support. Among these may be mentioned MIR Truman
Smith of Connecticut, who considering his position
northern man. ms done more Tor Iaylorsm than any other
man. He will he at the Convention. The prime
in behalf of Mr. Clay. one half of them sincere AMI
other half urged his name as the most escua way
OF killing of Taylor. Gen. Scott be looking
ups but after ALL the sober substantial Wings here
inclined to Judae McLean We're il NOT for ppr,,mal
feeling between The friends Of Corwin and the Judge,
think the latter woAd be the favorte OF Ohio. Thus
much thought it proper to say, that you might know
how things stand here. know nothing OF your views
The subject, hat presume that You go for northern
man; and il Webster is out OF the question, it will it
row seems, lie between scott ana Mclean. My own
opinion is that the latter will be the strongest par
of the country.
With Taylor fear we should lose State and
sacrifice our own principles For one had rather be a
minority adherins principle than in majorily without
principle
But write you principally tor the purpose Of suggesting
The mode OF bringing about nomination.
Much will be done out of doors and would suggest to
you The proprety. being Philadelphia day or two
before the meeting of the Convention The Wings have
powerful foe 10 contend with. and it would be well
select such candidate would, in defeat leave
US in possession OF our principles. The savepower
be resisted later and The is done
better.
You will understand that 60 wri you TO infu-
your vote, to interfere in the h your
lions Delegate. But believing that and eel~
ings harmonize ON this subject have felt liberty
speak freely should be pleased you ashng-
ton. Perhaps may come here before after the
Convention. Hoping that wisdom may guide you all
and thar good selection may be made subscribe myself
Yours, most respectfully
(Signrd) CHARLES HUDSON.
