Tho author oftlfc foregoing Prospectus, having all
nlong both seen and felt that the spirit of his own
views has been fully avowed by General Taylor, in
his Allison letter. md other rcplications on that sub
ject, and that his movements have been conformable
theieunto the Old Man has therefore, unhcsitatingy
made every exertion within the compass of honor,
to accomplish his own prophecy, made on the 18th
day of May, 1916, that General Taylor would be
the next Presidents" and he has, without single
deviation from his own DESIRES arduousy labOred to
promote that "harmony Of feeling" which alone can
preserve the Republic. He Is also called Wing,
cognomen not adopted by him volnntarily-such
names explain principles at the present time, and
even Democracy itself is only ground plat for the
culture Of the republican rights Of man, sometimes
aAn nweoded garden that grows seed things rank and
vile.n
We should be, in the language Of the purest repub-
lican Of America, Thomas Jefferson, all Republicans
all Federalsts. The best men are SO yet. But
should that conjoined meaning be repudated, the
"Old Man of the Hills will still hold on upon the
name, whose nherency in oil time past conveys
an idea Of principle, and insist on being called re-
publican as he ,ras called, when he voted for Thos
Jefferson, in the past century, trusting to confcd
Grafton Of all those who live for, and would DIE for
their country.
stT The above additional explanatory remarks are
subjoined on the 22d day Of December, 1913.
