noaacton upon the question Of slavery General Taylor
in favor Of non-acon also upon the slavery question, but
goes further and opposes the establishment OF any Territorial
Governments They agree therefore, upon one point and
that is that no law should be passed upon the subject Of
slavery, and consequently that the PRoyIso should NOT
be adopted.
Now sir what becomes of the Senator's representations
and arguments and appeals to the people Of New York. by
which he made them believe that Gen. Taylor in favor OF
the provso and in consequence Of that belief induced them
TO do what by his confession, they otherwise never
would have doneto for him and make him President OF
the United States One thing is clear, the people of New
York cheated out Of their yea, another Gen.
Taylor elected by fraud. Who psrpetrated the fraud
Who deceived the people The Senator from Now York
tells US that he made the representations he expressed the
opinions he gave them the sanction of his nae the weight

this false impression into the minds and hearts of the peope
of his State and thereby induced them give their
for for whom they would have voted if the
truth had been told Them The Senator does distinctly
inform whether he did these things his own account
and upon his individual responsibility, upon the authority
of another. This point is important in order detect and
expose the guilty party. The circumstances would
throw the responsibility upon the other of two impor-
personages The one is the eminent citizen who occu
pies the white house by virtue Of this fraud according the
Senator's confession and the other is the Senator himself
The President according to all appearances, has vndcaed
himself by the direct and unequvoca dsavowa his several
messages of the sentiments aud opinions imputed him by
the Senator from New York Under this view Of the case

Senator from New York. But, sir the choice, or rather the
defeat Of the choice Of the people, of President of Uni

bers of the Legislature elected the day. and the
influences which secured the electoral vote to General
Taylor gave the Wings majority in the Legislature, and
that majority elected the gentleman mr. SEwARD)
