send you specimen OF the conversation and course OF
Cen Taylor am 10th call the President OF the United
States Artiul Dodger" and yet how are we to char
acterze the equiyoea course he commenced with the
opening OF the last presidential campaign Then he
wore two faces under hood Truman Smith presented
his Provso face to the people Of the North His parii-
sans in the South held up his other face as decidedly anti
coming 10 light, and exhibiting him in his anti-south-
ern aspect What will the voters OF Maryland and Mis-
sssippi, and Louisiana say to these Developments
From the Louisville Cxy) Chronicle, Sept a.
GEs. TAYLOR AND THE PRovIso-our readers will recol
ect that have heretofore always expressed the belief
that General Taylor would veto the Wilmot Proviso IL II
passed by Congress Recent events, however, have
shaken faith the Generals frmness upon this sub
ecl and we are now inclined 70 the opinion that he 100
the North. HIS cabinet IL Is well known majority
Of them open abotioniss and the other part OF them ey
declared that the General would sign the proyso
recently, Horace Grceey the editor Of the New YORK
administration to this And now, from article In
the Preu[B Post l. appear. that the editor Of the But
yersation with the General ELECTED the acknowledgment

nary, "a soil papcr) in noticing the General
Taylor that place, speaks Of committee from the West
Reserve having waited upon him, inquire his views
upon Vino, Proviso The Of the article has led
the editor Of the Pttsbug Gazette infer that
trick Of the called free democracy" of this section
The Gazette says
They laid their adroity, but Gen Taylor was
too cool and shrewd campaner to be ight 10y such
msnonue, They wanted 20 know what his 0 ,inion wa.
with respect TO slavery In the new territories He replied
would be settled consttntionay They piled him with
another question, the constutonay of the Wilmot
Provso. lie foIed them by reteraung that the matter
would be settled constitutonally'"
Altogether, this does General Taylor a manifest wrong
and mpues motives and language him of which he Is
not chargeable. The delegation from Warren the
only so far could understand, from the Reserve.
Every member of that delegation will testify that General
Taylor did evade the Wmot Proviso question: any
other connected with the subject Of slavery; but that
Of his desire for Its non-exenson No such replies were
given those imputed him by the Luminsry that 'it
would be settled constutionsly," and mo shrewd
