Zachary Taylor, holding the Office Of President OF the
United States for the violation OF his sacred pledges-or
breaking the word and staining the honor OF soldier

the sentiments expressed in the resolutions above
entertained by three-fourhs Of the American people,
win be demonstrated 10 him if he wall allow himself to
