The MALLGNERs OF GEN. TAYLOR. The "'Tlue
wing" has had lis sensbilities awally shocked by \
statements in the Free Soil papers, thai Gen. Tayor
had purchased slaves, and was very pathetic in its an
PealS to the public for indignation on the heads of cold
Aacks" wicked 'magners." Ii has also been quite
indignant because the same wicked Free Soil folks have
proclaimed Old Zacks hostility 10 the Wilmo Provso.
we therefore copy the following article from the New
orleans Courier TO show what Old Zack's friends and
neghbors at home think OF his supporters at the North,
and how well they sustain the TRUTH of the Taylor
oraces IN this region. We request the particular aen>
ton OF the True Wing and of The Egis also. TO the arr
tcle, which is as follows!
"Ihe Wings at the North affirm that General
Taylor is in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. Every
body in Louisiana KNOWS that Gen. Taylor
cannot be in favor of any doctrine or measure
which would afford the slightest countenance to
the Vaccinations of the abolitionists, because he
IS the owner OF at least TWO HUNDRED
SLAVES, which he WORKS on two planta
tlons, one in Louisiana and the other in Mississp-
pl and not long since he added to their force 5u
PURCHASING A CONSIDERABLE NUM-
BER OF NEGROES from New Orleans. IN
would be strange indeed, ii Gen. Taylor under
such circumstances, could be so far forgetful OIL
the safety Of his property and that of his family,
soto aid the enemies of the South"
Also TO the following from the New Orleans Bee, al
sound Taylor Wing print hch speaks authoratively
"Gen Taylor is from birth, association, an,
conUtctiofs, Unidentified with the South and her in
stitutons; being one OF the most ertenSiUe slave-
holders i'll Louisiana, and supported by the slave
holding interest, as OPPOSED to the WiENlot Pro-
viSo and in favor of securing the privilege to the
owners OF slaves to remove with them to newly
acquired territory" IN
Read now the comments of the Columbus {Geor>
ga1 Enquireron certain attempts 10 slander Old Zack
ga desperate attempt is making, and will be
made, to impress on the public mind the belief
that Gen. Taylor Is not THOROUGHLY WITH
THE SOUTH on the subject of Slauerv. Such
an attempt will only prove to what resorts our
opponents are driven, in order to iniure him in
the estimation of his admirers. Why, tcho is
Gen. Taylor, and ,Uhere does he live? Every
body knows that he is a citizen OF Louisiana
an extensive and successful farmer Tplanter1
and Eg owns more slaves than the most of his
Sldnderers can ever hope honestly to obtain
Is there any fear of such man on this subject
Born in slave State, and still residing in one
with large portion of his capital invested in this
species Of fprOperty-identifed from interest, in
clination, and education, with the Institutions
around uS-wll any sensible man hesitate on
this subject 10 prefer him over his opponent p
Another Taylor paper, the Natchez miss Courier,
hits off in the following admirable style those who assert
tina, Gen. Taylor would not veto the Wilmot Proviso
s'This MoNsRoUs assertion-so entirely at
war with the character of the man and the tenor
of his aohole ife-could only have been made by
political leaders when in the LAST STAGES
of DESPERATION when they saw that ever-
lasting political RoUT and RUIN aOas approach
ing them as fast as the course of time would
permit" 60
In another place it calls those Taylor Whig or
ators in Massachusetts who thus misrepresent
his position, by pretending he would not veto the
Wilmot Proviso, politicians tchose TRADE
consists QfDISTORTION and dPERVERSION!"
Southern (Tayor) Senator on being shown
Northern paper full Of assertions that Gen Taylor won
not veto the Wilmot Proviso, nor use his Influence
against it, said, Are your editors all knaves, or are
your people all FOOLS that you enabled to practice
such impostions" Let those editors dess from further
attempts TO deceive the people.
