Estates were deceived, but section of the Union or
THE other induced TO support him by false pre-
licences Before the election General Taylor repre-
[sened before the whole country as no-party man
las one who would break down party divisions, and
laay party animosities. But since the election he
lis represented by his organs as firm and decided
'wkg, who will carry out wing principles, and give the
country a wing administration. Promises of political
moderation, that the people have cast their votes
are openly epudiated by the wing press and violent and
emorseless political prescription is justified and defend
1ed The southern portion of the Union was told that
General Taylor would sustain the South in the slavery
contest and the northern people told that he would
sustain the North, and do than any northern pes
ddent would be permitted do to conlne slavery to III
present limits. Now, it appears that this wholesale du
pici,y pracsed by General Taylos supporters was ac
2companied by private assurances made by Gen. Taylo
himself TO prominent democrats that he was an indie
pendent can date, and that he epudiaed the principles
j Of the wing creed.
We hope that Dr. Black burn will lay before the worlc
the letter addressed to him by General Taylor in order
that the history of the contest of 1913 may be correctly
wrttsn and rightly understood And when that histor,
is written, we feel confident that it will display degre,
of COOL calculating and deliberate fraud, without par
,lle in political contests The extract from the Newark
Eagle to which we have alluded, is in the following
words:

Blackburn of Crawford county, Georg writes that he
