In the south the great fight was be-
tween Taylor and Cass. I Four years be-
fore when Henry Clay and JAS K. Polk
were candidates Mr.. Clay the Wing
candidate carried only five slave States.
Outside of Kentucky-Clay own state
he received a majority of only about
5000 in the popular vote; while Polk S
popular majority in the South was over
$4,000.
But in 1S4S the tables were turned. Gen
Taylor was Southern man and slave
holder, and southern Wings were not
slow in taking advantage of the ''situa-
ton Although the Democrats had
Gen. Cass pledged to carry out their pro
slavery schemes, yet the Southerners had
great faith in t'Old ZACH as he was ia
miliarly called all over the country. AS
a result eight slave states gave him q
majority of their votes leaving only Ar
kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri,
Virginia and Texas to go for Cass.
In the free States the hottest fight was
in New York State, between the support
ers of Gen. Cass and the Bourbons. the
latter being determined to draw enough
votes from the regular Democratic ticket
to give the State to Gen, Taylor, and in
this they succeeded, Taylor receiving
2lS,6o3 votes; Van Buren,, 1io,512; and
for Cass only 1l4,31s. Taylor carried six

Wings. His splendid victory at Buena
Vista, in which, with 5000 American
troops, he defeated Santa Anna, with a
Mexican army Of three times that num-
Der, created an immense popularity in
his favor all over the country, as a great
military chieftain. The Wings saw the
point, and spread their sails to catch the
popular breeze.
But whether the Wing party of that
day could have succeeded in that cam
paign against united Democracy is a
question which admits of great doubt.
The Democratic party started its cam
paign tolerably we'll. Lewis Cass of
Michigan, veteran statesman OF large
experience in public affairs was its can
didate. At this time the question of the
extension of slavery into free territory
had become prominent as a disturbing
element in political parties.
The doctrine of. ''Squatter Sovereignty"
as it was then known, giving the people
of Territory, when in territorial con-
dition, the right to establish OF prohibit
slavery upon free American soil, was
about that time seized upon by the lead
ers of the Democratic party as the proper
solution of the slavery question.
Before Gen. Cass nomination some of
his Southern friends had fears that he
was not sound upon the slavery question
and in border to settle the matter, he
wrote letter to prominent Democrat

At the Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1913 at Baltimore at which Gen.
Cass was nominated there was delega-
ton from the state of New York, known
as ''Barnburners'' who refused to pledge
their support to man who should be
nominated by a two-thirds rule which
four years before had killed Nh. Van

Upon this refusal ''hunker" delegation

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF Is4e.
Triangular Fight.-Taylor, Cass and Van

[By Gen. John j. Perry.1

To the Editor of the Press:
Presidential elections are now the Or
der of the day. In few weeks the peo-
pie of this country will be called upon to
settle the Presidential question for four
years, commencing the 4th of March
next.
Forty-four years ago witnessed one of
the most exciting contests ever known in
this country. Old party lines received a
terrible shaking up. Henry Clay for
wears had been the idol Of the old Wing
party. With fair prospect of success,
in 1914 he was defeated by James K.
Polk, SO that the national administration
from 1874 to 1S49 was in the hands of the
Democrats. Drawing strict party lines
in 1S48 the Democrats held a majority in
this country, and the HWhigs knew
it. Much as they idolized their great
leader, Henry Clay, when their national
convention met to nominate candidate
for President, they defeatedEahim and
nominated Gen. Zachary Taylor. Taylor
was an old army officer, had never had
anything to do with politics; but so fa1"
as he had any preponderance of, feeling
for either the old parties, it was with the

MRS. COLUMBUS.

Columbus was married in 147O, or
Whereabouts, to Miss Palestrello of
Lisbon, whose father had distinguish
ed himself as navigator. A part of
Miss Palestrello's marriage dover
was a great collection of valuable
charts, journals, and important mem
oranda. From childhood she had dis
played wonderful enthusiasm on the
subject, partaking to a marked de-
gree OF the speculative and advent
uresome ideas and schemes in the
line of geographical discovery for
which Lisbon was then headquarters.
She possessed a fine education, and
was widely known as brainy, BRILL
ant woman, who was constantly urg-
ing her husband on in the path which
finally brought him to the wonderful
goal with which we are SO familiar.
While girl, Miss Palestrello made
a number Of hazardous voyages with
her father, in unfamiliar waters, and,
later, made many geographical draw
ings, several of which were used with
great profit by Columbus when he
had won her for his wife, and set out
upon his more important wanderings
on the great deep.
