MES Of this great republic in the name Of General Taylor
deprecae the opposition which the democracy are wagns
against the administration on the ground that has
yet developed no system Of public policy. They pretend
that yet, the policy Of the administration has not been
and his regency is factious and unjustifable
This pretence jesuitcal and false as Il is craven
and degrading In the first place. is not true in point Of
fact that the administration has developed no system Of
policy Has ii not developed system OF foreign policy,
Has it not for months been invoking the applause Of the
country for its management Of foreign affairs, which
has been but continued series Of fatal blunden and IL.

General Taylor reiterated and confirmed by nearly every
press and orator Of the wing party in the canvass one Of
the measures of policy adopted by the wing parry and
the present wing administration Is not the repeal OF The
tariff of 1916, its virtual notification by the repeal Of
the ad vaorem principle, measure OF the present admin.

treasury and the adoption Of corruptng scheme Of in.

with the grossest and most cupable misrepresentation
and falsehood When the "Picayune' organ Of the re-
gency imported directly from New Orleans by General
Taylor himself, was making its tariff appeals to the peo
pie OF Pennsylvania did they mean nothing; and were
they all hypocrilical, hoow-hear and false And
when Gen. Taylor, in his conversations with the iron
masters and manufacturers at Psburg, pledged himself
in favor of protective tariff, did he mean nothing
Or all these promises and limitations thrown out
by General Taylor and the wing press in his support but
many false preences to operate upon pending cleo
tons, their promises and pledges made during the
canvass for the presidency
1t is false, jesucal and disgraceful in the wing press

is now factous and uniusifable Admit that General
Taylor and the regency who rule the country in his
name as destitute OF fixed ideas Of public pol
ICY and barren OF measures, as their organs pre-
tend. and yet there is sufficient ground for uneom-
promising and perssvering opposition to them on the
part Of the democratic party In violation Of the most
solemn promises and assurances on the pat Of General
Taylor and his supporters without which he never could
have been eeced-assurances substantially reafirmsd
in the inaugural address-the cabal governing in the
name Of General Taylor has waged the most ruthless
and unrelentng against the democratic party Never.
in the history OF this republis has such sweeping and
remorseless system Of prescription been pracsed e that
which has been adopted and pursued by the present ID

the administration has developed through its oEsDss
system Of both foreign and domestic policy affords ample
justification for the righteous and, we are reioiced

But independent Of the considerations above set forth.
there is higher moral which iustfes the most
uncompromising opposition to the present eabal ruling 10
the name Of Gen. Taylor. Gen. Taylor and the wig
party obtained their places by gross fraud upon The
American people. They gave promises and assurances
to the people, without which they never could have sse
ceeded, and all Of which they have grossly violated and
tramPled upon To stamp such fraud with the ignominy
which il deserves, and thus proclaim all ambitious
