MR., NILES TAYLOR WHAT Is HEY

The following communication comes to us
from one of the most respectable and RESPONSE
Bile and talented planters of this Congressional
District. We ask for it, at the hands Of our
readers, careful ard attentive perusal. Its
positions are ably put and authoritatively main
tanned. There is no way of getting around them
that we can possibly imagine. The former
| Native Americanism Of Mr.. Taylor is brought
prominently forward and logically demon
strated.
| With these brief remarks We submit the very
| able communication referred to:

which he had been part ana the Amercanisn OF the

The gentleman who replied to him quoted article Of
the old Native American constitution, which in the
following words' We ,oH hold him gutttess Of his
