The foregoing extracts, which make from the
Washington Republic, Whig paper, replete with
important facts. They speak to the country in trum-
ue.tones, of the game of fraud and deception which
was PLAYED by the Wing leaders in 1S4S; and they
ought to serve eye-opeuer, especially to the
Wing masses, preparatory to the campaign OF 1852.
Gen. Taylor, it is notorious, was run with two faces
one for the South and the other for the North and
he was elected, not because he or his supporters
such principles were absent and not avowed. Will
the imposture be repeated! Will the Wing masses
submbit to it again We shall see.
