our article in relation to Gen. Tayiof's Speech at
Monterey, and endeavors to show, in that way,
that we haveScommencedt the g work Of detIactiou
against that distinguished and patriotic man.
No charge against the Standard could be more
unfounded or unjust and we can appeal with con-
6dence TO all our readersto bear us ont in this as
serIlon. We were among Gen. TayIor's earliest
admirers we approved his appointment by the
President to the command of the Army of Occu-
patton; we greeted hisftriumphs with enthusiasm,
as they burst one after another, in quick success
sion The country fromIhe CORY plains of Palo
Alto down to the memorable day when he meas
ured his mighty arm in battle with Santa An
ma at Buena Vista, and came forth laurelled
and glorious victor; we have applauaed him from
first to last, because he has fought "long and
welli"} in a just and righteous War; and 10 the
face of all these facts, il does not lie in the power
lof a paper like the Register--which has denounc-
ed the War as wicked and which is now5in politi-
alleagae and fellowship with Editors who have
characterized Gen. Taylor as " gsnrderer' and
"a "thro0t-cntter"--to put us in false position
before the public. ;flirae liz ii aloaa u
The Register charges the Standard with having
I" abused" Gen. Taylor. We not only deny the
fact and disproVe by the record, but we tufn the
tables upon that paper. What does the Editor
think of the following from Wing print9 Hear
what Boston paper says ;aea5s .Il ~-t


:! Gen. Taylor A man whose trade has been
war- hunting runaway slaves amid the Florida
everglades, and buIchering poor Seminoles because
they harbored The fugitiVes,-and waging the slave
drivers war upon the poor, starving Mexicaps,p


Boston Whig.


Hear the Trenton News: r..


!" What other claims has Gen. Taylor upon his
countrymen, save those growing out Of this very
n,urdeTous, Miering lOar Stand u2, sir Jesuits;
and confront The monstrous InIqulty you wish TO
reward" - Trenton (tpliig) Neles.


Hear George C. Fogg, the late YAig Secre-
tary of the State of New Hampshire, and the Ed
itor at the same time OF the Independent ~ q
81. He (Taylor) raises slaves for the mark ct and
makes merchandise of his fellow men. He has
one hundred mothers, with or without babies, for
sale in the shambles. He furnishes Creole origins
for The "HELLs" =" of New Orleans and riots on
The ruins Of souls for whom the Man Of Sorro,os
died." zla2L . ! ~


"What is there about Gen. Taylor that should
induce the people Of, the United States to prefer
= They know him TO be most adroit Skull
breaker, thr0dt-cutfeT, hOuSe-bredker and lrOnsdn
and child slayer" &c. 80 .t. q,

But enough We might multiply column up
on column Of Wing .abuse" of Gen. Taylor,
and at The same time defy the Register to produce
even one Article of similar character from De
mocratic print. We have repeatedly denounced,
in the strongest language, these vile calumniators
of The brave old man; but wha, has been the con-
due, of the Register2 We leave it 10 the public of
both sides TO say, il that paper has not been silent
as to the hellborn "abuse" of Fogg and his associ
ates, and if ii has not also eulogized Senator Cor
win, who made a Speech in favor of Mexico in
the United States Senate, demanded the recall of
or armies, and ridiculed the idea that Gen Tay-
Tor and his troops were to 4" acquire renown" by
vanquishing Mexico


But the Register lOres Gen. Taylor better than
all other men, (where is Henry Clay y and wants
to see him President. Why. then, did not the !
Editor call upon his friends in this District to |
vote for Mr.. Toole, the s,andard,beare of old |!
Rough. and the first man, It is said to declare for
town is, we understand, that the Editor of the
Register roted for Toole, but elestioaeercd for
Arlington A real, old,fashioned, blue-light
Federalist is harder to 4" head than John Tyler I
