A sCANDALoUs, BARErACED FRAUD.

We received yesterday, from Washington, copies
Of two pamphlets issued in that city by the Loco
foco Central Committee for circulation in The States.
One Of them is intended for the North, the other
for the South. The first is headed " REAp, PENN
sYLvANIANs, AND DECIDE AT THE Polls" 1t is a
pamphlet OF four pages and is 10 be circulated in
the North. II attempts 10 show that Gen. IayIor
tcM Ueto the Eihnof PropiSo if he should be elect
ed President The other is a pamphlet Of eight
pages, which goes TO prove that both Gen. Taylor
and WHdrd Fillmore are ABoLITIcSIsTs and
that /" Gen. Taylor has giUen assurances 10 The
Uhtgs Of the North that u elected he WILL NOT
VETO tie Uihnot proUiso."
These two documents made up by the same
men-men who are leaders in the Locoioco party !;
Senators and Representatives in Congress. They
are published at one Office, and are franked by the
cart-load TO the two sections Of the Union, by the
same men, the sole purpose Of which is TO deceive
and delude the honest voters OF this country. We
could not believe, had we not the evidence before
our eyes, that men pretending to have regard for
their reputation would be guilty of knavery, in com.
parison with which the cheating Of thmble-rigger
at a country muster is as moral purity itself.
We ask the honest voters Of the Democratic par
ty whether they will any longer support a party
whose candidates look for success BY means so vile
this-whe.her they will not rather vote for hon.
est OLD ZACHARY TAYLOR, the man whose
whole life las been devoted to the service Of his
country, and whose integrity and fairness of cha
racter no one questions! VOTERS, THINK OF THESE
MATTERS ,-RoSton .4fLds.

INFLUENCE OF GEN. TAYLoEs CHARACTER


Mr.. GrLNER, Of Georgia, in declaring his purpose
TO vote for General TAYLOR. TO whom his party is
politically opposed gives certain reasons which have
great force in the minds of moderate and patriotic
men throughout the country. Abiding TO his vote
for Mr.. Polk the nominee of his party al the last
Presidential election, Mr.. GmNER proceeds to say
" My next vote will be for Taylor, because be-
lieye him TO be the firmest man in tie world, the
most honest man in the world, and further removed
: above and beyond party and political influence
than any man in the world. would point out
his public and private character, known TO the
people of this country, for my views Of political
worth. | would point out his Allison letter as my
political creed
The silent influence of character such as Gen.
Taylor's-a character so firm yet unprctendng, SO
honest and heroic, so brave ard modest also
the silent influence, we say, Of such character is
an item which the politicians on the other side do
not estimate properly in their political calculations
There are thousands Of votes that will be given to
Gen. Taylor irrespective Of party divisions. by con-
sderate voters who have confidence in the man,
and who believe that his election would be the
guaranty Of peace, prosperity, and good govern-
ment. There are many, TOO. who voted for Mr.
Polk ard who will now vote for General Taylor,
because they have had enough Of Mr. Polk's policy,
aud who recognise in Gen. Cass the representative
Of its worst features.
The comparative calmncss which has marked the
canvass thus far and which will no doubt continue
is very favorable The results we have Just referred
TO. A dispassi0hate comparison Of the two candi-
dates, with the respective influences that mus; ac-
company them into the Presidency, cannot but ter
inmate in Gen. Taylor's favor--even without re-
ference TO his brilliant achievements in war.

OHIO.

We find frequent announcements OF changes in
Ohio from Weller, or Free-soilism, to the cause OF
TAYLOR and the Union.
The Piqua Register, spirited paper, has just
hoisted the banner of Buena Vista.
HORACE MILLER, Esq, an influential citizen Of
Cuyahoga, who went for Weller, has come out for
Taylor.
According TO late letter published in the Gin
cinnati Chronicle, even the Reserve is fast getting
right. Many Wings who were for time deluded
by the Free-so movement, finding that they can
accomplish no good by voting for Mr.. Van Buren,
are falling back into the Wings ranks, in support Of
General TAYLOR. They are unwilling TO follow
the ridiculous example set them by the supporters
Of Mr.. Birney, who, in 1914, virtually elected Mr..
Polk, and thereby assumed full share Of the re-
sponsibility which attaches 10 the disastrous policy
of his administration.

of the interior of that State are of the most cheer

The Hon. JOHN DAVIS, who has recently returned
from Europe, where he has been travelling since
Congress adj djourned, addressed his Whg friends in
Worcester on Friday evening last. The meeting
was one of the largest ever held in that place.
The Worcester True Whig says:
