that JOHN THOMAS, Esq. OF Crawford Coun-
~, be recommended as a candidate for the
State Senate, for the district composed of
Crawford, Chippewa, St. Croix and Lapoint
counties.
And, also, that w. II. Price of Black
River, be recommended as candidate for
the State Assembly, for the district compos-
ed of the counties of Crawford and Chip
pewa.
It was also, on motion, Resolved that we
in favour of the election of
GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR
to the Presidency of the United States; and
that we now raise and battle under the
TAYLOR STANDARD for the following rea-
sons which, let every Taylor man in the
county duly consider, whatever may have
been his political name heretofore:--
4 /. The Wing Party, and that party alone,
as party, win nominate and support GEN.
TAYLOR, for the Presidency: so that those
who may have been called by any other
party name heretofore, but who wish the
OLD HERO to he elected, must, SO far as his
election is concerned, at least, go with the
! Wings in this election.
2. As thousands upon thousands who
have heretofore been called loco .focos, but
who glory in the name of Democrats, as do
the Wings, will unite with the Wings in
eevating the old GENERAL to the chief chair
of state, it will, of course form new politi-
cal parties, which will be designated by the
names of their respective leaders: Ours
viii be the Taylor Party; the other, prob
ably, the Cas- party.
/ 5. Another ground on which new parties
will be, or rather nonc are beiny formed, is,
on the ertention or non extension Of SLAVERY,
in the newly acquired territory from Mexi-
co. The Wings and thousands of the
Democrats go against the extension of
slavery TO territories where it does not
now exist They leave those states where
it now exists to manage their own concerns.
But they oppose the extension of this evil
to territory no,c free. The Loco Focos as
a party, with Gen. Cass at their head, go
for leaving the new territory open to this
subject, so that if slave holders flock into
any portion of it first, they may make slave
states of il, as they did of Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Texas. The Wings and those
Democrats who agree with them on this
point, are in favour of the election of GEN
.ERAL TAYLOR, who is known tobe opposed
to extending Slavery 10 countries which are
Row free. Therefore, those Demo Gratis
who go against the extension Of Slavery
must either associate with the Wings in
forming the Taylor party. or he made, by
their votes, TO extend this blighting national
curse beyond its present darkened limits.
4. The friends of GEN. TAYLOR should.
bear in mind that il is possible case, that
the election of President and Vice Presi-
dent may devolve upon the House of Rep
resentativcs in Congress; and, therefore, it
is of the highest Importance to the success
of the OLD HERO, TO have a majority of the
states represented in that body by his
friends.
1t is also Of the highest importance to his
administration, if elected, to have major
,ity of his friends in that House, to sustain
him in his resolution to carry out the meas
ures of Jefiersonian Democracy And to
secure these important objects, the friends
of the OLD HERO should noac be associated
and vote for Taylor men for Congress.
). If Taylor is elected Gas no doubt ne
will be) it is important to the success of his
administration, that he have majority OF
his iriends and supporters in the Senate OF
the United States. And be it remembered
that our first State Legislature must elect
two United States Senators. Ii is, there
fore, of the highest importance that the
friends of TAYLOR now rally around his
standard and elect Taylor men to the Leg
islature, So as thereby to secure the election
of Taylor men to the United States Sen
ate.
I Friends of the oLp HERO, look wen To
these things in your voting. Our nominees
are Taylor men. Do not you be miSled by
the clarm which the name of democracy ha.
upon many. TAYLOR is a deuocra, OF the
old. true, leiiersonian School. But if YOU
vote for men opposed to Taylor, because
they cali Themselves democrats, you may
elect men both to Congress, and to the Leg.
islature who viii thwari all your wishes in
