CATION at our hands. II is hard work for Mr., Hud-
son to forget the memorable times Of lS4S. Up to
that year, he supposed, BY those not very lamil'
iarly acquainted with hn,to possess both conscience
and character; but, having scared the one, and
thrown away the other for beggary bibe ,prohered
by the lends OF Zachary Taylor, he has been in
miserable condition since, object Of pity to

course, It never entered into the mind of such sor-

at all offices merely rewards for partizan services,
as most Of his party do, and himself especially, it
would feemto hem,to be the height Of folly, 10 base

the people love and honor him for that same virtue.

him in the estimation the just and generous con.

the mean and wrelched tool of faction, hose on.
" bond OF cohesion is a common sympathy, in oppo-

better days.
1t is very pretty time of day for his Reverence
to read us lecture upon our detection rom Whig
principles. But, who is il that reminds us of our
declaration that we s'should not be driven from the
support of Wing principles, Wing measures, and
Wing men," Why, the very man, who, at that
time, was writing from WASH rgtor, exposing the
pottings of shareholders, and warning his friends,
sometimes through the columns Of this against
the treason 10 which he afterwards became an open
parlicipalor. The Wing party had principles then;
1t upheld measures, the success of which was be-
lieved be Of vital importance 10 the welfare Of the
people, and it numbered in its ranks, men who rep
resented the principles the party avowed. Mr.. Hud-
son was counted one OF those men, at that time He
saw the downward course which party leaders were
about TO take, and raised the note o alarm He
wrote to Us in lS47, exposing the plottings Of slave
holders to destroy the Wing party, and to rear upon
its ruins party based upon the one idea of the ex.
tension and protection Of slavery. He then wrote
TO the people as follows:
''But slavery is never at rest The South are de.
tev1nned to keep the reins in er hands, posi-.
bic, and, seeing the growing popularity OF General
Taylor, they have thought favorable opportunity
to FORCE another slavehoder upon the Wing
party"
One would hardly have supposed that the writer
of the above, would, in lew short months, have
been slumping the Stale, advocating the election of
this same General Taylor, whom the South were,"
at that early day in which he wIote "attempting to
force upon the Wing party;" but such vas the fact,
and it was for such his professions, and
for such serviIiIy to the demands of Shareholders,
that he was rewarded with lucrative Office by tho
administration, after he had failed to make the PEG.

10 lS47, Mr.. Hudson wrote to his constituents,
through this paper, as follows:
SNOW il remains for the North TO say whether
they will be 80 dazzled 10y the glory acquired by an
unjust war, as TO I've cheated Of their just rights
and I've put INTO the hands of another slaveholdme
President
These are his exact words, and yet how long was
it, before he was engaged both with tongue and pen,
IN "cheatng his own cons tituents Of their "just
rights" and helping along the Infamous work OF
OF those, who proposed 'to put Them into the hands
Of another slavchoiding President2'' Not long, as
everybody knows.
Again, he wrote as follows:
ave want an executive who will insist that the
territory New Mexico and California; shall not be
cursed with slavery. Let the free North look well
10 this, and il they desire have our government
devOted to that nhaman institution four years more,

South, and advocate the nomination Of General
Taylor"
How Satan must have laughed TO see this venera

Shareholders offered 10 him, and"ehm in Nth certain
