Is now pending may be summary stated thus

All this weuld be entirely pertinent II It were
not untrue. We did object very strongly to the
nomination of Gen. Taylor, and tried to prevent
II. Having failed we explicitly declared, the very
morning after that nomination was made, inht we
should feel constrained 10 support 1t II We could
not otherwise contribute to and secure the defeat
Of Gen. Cass. Bat we choso to stand aloot from
the canvass until we could see plainly whether
there WAS or was not another way Of defeating
the candidate we deemed most Objectionable OF
ALL Aswe then said we acted throughout. And
had Mr.. Gates stated the fact that the nomina
tion for Congress, which looks 50 large on paper,
was tc fill ninety day vacancy. with successor
already provded-a seat which llor that term
balanced Of course to Col. Monroe, and which no
hody then oresaw he would declIr.-his insinus-
ton would not have needed his own disclaimer to
render II pointle.s No pro Slavery politicians
