unaterable hostility to the Wllmot Provso, de-
caring that Gen. Taylor is opposed to it. Will
the people believe that you are speaking the
truth and Davis lying! viii the Wings of BOs-
ton be mised by such pretenses as these? l
don't care what you are, or who you are; ifyou
are an honest man your are the nobest work of
God, and will not be deceived or controlled by
any man whatever, when you see the momentuous
matters lying before you.
Mr.. Sumner asked about Gov Jones'
Gov. Jones was advocating the election of Gen.
Taylor on the stump, and saying that he was OPP.
posed to the extension of slavery, when he was
asked, Are yOu opposed TO it Gov Jones eva
ded it. But man on the stump is bound to let
his whole sentiments be known, and when he
saw he could not eyade it, he answered that he
was not And want to know if you will vote
for man who is not in favor of the extension of
slavery? He evaded it; but the man would not
let him off until Gov Jones saw he was inexora-
BILE, and said he would not. Now if you can be
gammond by such men, you will have enough Of
them
How is Cass 4
Well, really, if you had waited six weeks lon
ger, you would not have asked that Wait six
weeks and he is out of the question, Cheers
and laughter You had better be erecting
tombstone for that man; you had better write his
eptaph. Gen. Cass a man who has bowed to
the slave power so low that no man can get down
low enough to throw the mantle of charity over
him = Great sensation. Gen. Cass a man
who declares that you are bound to vote for the
establishment of slavery in the territories; who
says you have no power to resist it; that it is
violation Of the Constitution to assert your rights
Talk Of him among the Democrats Where is
he? John Van Buren, said that he was killed
off at the Baltimore Convention, and they were
carrying the body home by way of the canal.
lie said, too, that ifhe was nominated they would
have to take affidavits to show to the people Of
New York, to convince them that he was a can
didate. Even that would not convince the people
of New York that he was a candidate six weeks
hence; and | say it in the honest sincerity of my
heart. | am aware that it has been argued upon
you and me, and everybody else, that we must
vote for Taylor, or CasS will be elected. tell
you it will not be 81. But suppose it were the
case; we should have to make some new discov.
cries in moral science, and get some moral mi
croscope by which to discover the shade between
these two men.-Cass and Taylor The Devil
and Beelzebub! Great cheering and laughter
And are you bound to determine the moral dis
|
slight that Omniscence itself could not discover
it?
But know that l am tedious Cries of go
on although it was now ten o'clock.
How is it with Taylor
don't know. | wish | had power of elo-
qnence and conception and imagination, to place
this before the people tonight Just as it is to tear
away the veil, and let Gen. Taylor and Gen Cass

Wing. Am | to argue the question whether he
calls himself Wing? Wing have no
doubt he is such Wing as Milton Brown, such
Wing as Alexander II. Stevens, and other
Southern men who went for Texas. If he is
Wing, it means such Wing as that. / want
you to know, my acknowledgements that you are
to be cheated and defrauded, that the Southern
States are to go for Taylor and not for Glass;
Eoery one of the Southern States aOWgO for Iay-
Tor. There will be good old South Carolina;
that stanch old Wing State! She will go for
Taylor. And if you follow the lead, old Massa-
chusetts will stand beside her Wing sister. Two
such Wing States the Lord never made before
and never will again. Isaac E. Holmes of South
Carolina, in lS45, in reply to speech of mine,
declared it to be duty to take Texas. He said
that we must have more territory, and it was not
only necessary to have Texas but the whole Of
Mexico for the extension of slavery. That man,
only day before yesterday, declared himself the
uncompromising advocate of Gen. Taylor's cleo
ton. Isaac e. Holmes a wing, and voting for
Wing candidate | call your attention to
these facts. Jefferson, Davis, Isaac E. Holmes,
and Gen. Taylor A beautiful trio of Wings
These southern men who never vote against
the extension of slavery are now going for Gen.
Taylor because they believe he is in favor Of its
extension, and here you are at the North voting
for him because you suppose he Is opposed to
the extension of slavery One of yon must be
deceived. If you are honest, the South are be-
ing humbugged, and that is itself dishonest, for
| would not cheat Shareholder Only think Of
it, Massachusetts votes for Taylor because it is
opposed to extending slavery and South Carroll
ma votes for him because he is in favor of it -
Did you ever know the slave power deceived by
a Shareholder? Is not every interest of Gen.
Taylor in favor of extending slavery? 1t GER
4 tainly is.
John C. Calhoun, the giant intellect of the
South; the mighty advocate of slavery and slave
interests, who was in favor of annexing Texas,
will soon stand forth for Gen Taylor. Sup
pose he does, and Daniel Webster, that intellec-
tual giant of the North, whom have admired
more than any living man, for his gigantic pow
ers of mind, and | verify believe he will unseal
his lips, and would that a thunderbolt might UNI
seal his lips in favor of freedom,-ifhe was to
vote for Gen Taylor, which of these two mighty
minds would be deceived! Daniel Webster can
not be deceived, neither can John c. Calhoun.
[ They moy deceive themselves by shutting their
eyes, but I say they have the means of knowing
the facts, and ought to know them, And if they
have a right to know the facts, you have right.
! Your vote and mine are as good as Daniel Web

: One thing further about Gen. Taylor. When

: At a meeting in South Carolina in April, lS47
e John C. Calhoun declared in substance to the
. meeting that the interests of slavery would be
ieopardized at the next Presidential election, and
j he urged the people to throw aside their party
prejudices and unite in favor of one man to sus-
