DELEGATES.


You have commenced the coming cam
paign, nobly. Enthusiastic Taylor clubs
are now formed in most of the villages in
our county. Union aud harmony reign in
our ranks; while here as elsewhere, discord
and apathy characterize the condition of our
political opponents. While the principles
of our candidate for the Presidency, are
based upon the broad platform of primitive
democracy, recognizing the right of the peo-
pile to govern by legislation, instead Of The
Presidents governing by patronage and the
veto power, our opponents have pledged
their candidates tn tho support of conflict
ing sectional interests, rs ii they were choos-
ing legislative, instead ofexecutive, officers.
The Wings want on the one hnud, no man
for President who has signed, sealed and de-
livered bond TO do the bidding of slavery,
aud the other hand, they want for President,
no one idea man; especially it that man of
one idea has but Just broken away from a
long life of supple servility TO the slave IN
Slave power, as TO give his casting vote in
the Senate for a law empowering PostMas-
tiers TO rcb the mails of Anti-Slavery dem
ocrats; it elected, there is no telling how
soon his former masters might reclaim hin
and put him under the lash again. We
want no man for President, who repudiates
/ the old Democratic doctrines of our party,
taught and praclised by the earlier Presi-
dents, in recommending and sanctioning dis
crimating tariffs and appropriations for har-
bors aad the improvement of rivers. Let
our opponents get up their Free Soil Con-
ven,ions and scatter like wild geese in n
\ fog. Il is nothing to us. We pursue the
even tenor of our way. No man with n
Wing soul in him, will support Martin Van
Buren, for President-the very man against
whom the Wings have batlled to the knife
= the very man who set in motion the POI
lilical machinery which has brought into
power, those who alone had the ability 10
consunnate the villainous scheme of Tex
as annexation aud all the train of evils nee
essarily drawn after annexation; Tor altho'
like the Inventor Of the gullotine, he him
self suffers political death by the same ma
chino, he has the whole glory Of contriving
\ it.
We concur in the opinion with "lrdc-
pendent" - the able Washington CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, who says /" no Wing who's homes, and
faithful TO his political principles can unite
with thls projected " Free Soil" demonstra-
ton and preserve his identity. I, was con-
eeivcd by gang Of desperate and unprin-
/ cipled demagogues, whose boast il was only
little while ago, that they were " Norih-
ern men with Southern principles" by those
K who, whenever the opportunity offered,
have basely hargained away the interests
and rights OF the Free Staies-hy those who
have only deserted the alliance when they
would no louger be tolerated, and when the
profit of the connection ceased 10 present
an Involvement for even an humiliating CON
