The "New Orleans Bee," which ma

The "New Orleans Bee," which may
be presumed to know the opinions fGen.
Taylor in reference TO the matter Of which
its Editor speaks, thus treats of the Boyd
conversation, that has made SO much
noise in the North and West, viz. that
if the "Nor,h attempted to interfere with
the question of slavery, he was for draw
ing the sword and throwing away the
scabbard.'
"Who Mr.. s. c. Boyd may be, we
know not. but have no hesitation in de-
nying that Gen. Taylor ever used the
language ascribed to him. 1t is altogeth-
er foreign to his habits to engage in con-
troversies on the slavery question, and he
is the last man in the world to commit
himself by Incorporate and sweeping dec
larations. So cautious has Gen. Tay lor
been in the expression of his opinions
upon this agitating topic. that there is
not probably an individual in the country
who is fully capable Of stating phat those
opinions are. Moreover, let Gen. Taylor
personal views be what they may, he is
pledged to respect the action of Congress,
so long as it does not infringe the consti-
tuition.
So the lie does not 60 down even in
the Southern market, and at once it was
repudiated in the Northern.
Il Notwithstanding the sneers Of Mr.. Hen
ry A. Wise, the principles Of the Allison
Letter are the only principles upon which
any President can stand in this country
and fairly represent it. If the country
I wishes for thing, it must and will have
|it,-and President has no right to inter.
fere,-uness what is attempted is palpa.
bly, unconstitutional. This is the issue
between the principles Of Republication
and the principles of Absoluteism. We,
the Republicans, ask that no one man
interfere to thwart the will Of the People.
They, who are Absoutists, crave and de-
mand the Veto, and such like interference
