his friend Built from the "RepubIic for supporting the mea
sure He has public presses penssned to oppose

President has done and is doing Than merely 10 MAKE
his executive recommendation! Does il not bring him be

they have approved the Of their representative
There DO but these questions leaving

before the election and kuikng nonconmi,talisnl since
the Executive influence IL earnestly and actively e1crted

Mr.. Bolts dwelt time u'on this subject, and was
very severe upon Gen Taylor. lie denounced III admin
isration for its course relation 70 tho "Gaphn Claim
Everybody he said blamed the cabinet. lie blamed the
President as he knew all of their acts and he alone
sponsb as he alone could remove them No one had
confidence in Them General Taylor knew il well as
any one else; had again and by dis
,ingushed Wings get rid Of them but he had dsesarded
their wishes declined dismiss them and thereby sane
toned their dongs Mr. Bolts thought the effect had bscf
up the Wing party, but he trusted that If 1t was So 1t
would unite the moderate and patriotic OF both parties and
that great good would ultimately be produced Mr. Bots
believed that the efforts OF Clay and Cass Webster AM
Foote Dickinson Badger and other patriots OF the two
great parties would unite against the atoons,s the dis
unioniss and the SHARK" spoils party and great tn
un,ph would be the result.
IA the course of his remarks r Bolts said he in The
hands of his friends If they wanted his services they
knew how 10 obtain them; but as he was candidate oi
nothing Except malriinony lie would be bound down by
party ties. lie would approve what he though, was
right and condemn what his judgment told him wrong,
regardless all party ties personal consequences.
