Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Facts in the Life of General Taylor: The Cuba Blood-Hound Importer, the Extensive Slave-Holder, and the Hero of the Mexican War It is well known to the people of the United States, that Gen. Taylor, the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention, is a Slaveholder; an advocate for its extension into territory hitherto free from its curse; and was a bold and prominent leader in that most infernal of all expeditions, - the Mexican War. It is the purpose of the author of this little work, so to expose his conduct in reference to these particulars, that every man who peruses it, may be aroused to an unflinching opposition to his election. Time is too precious to consume in culling pleasing words, or in arranging sentences, so as to glide smoothly over the ears of a people loving to be rebuked in gentle terms only; but in the work before you, stern condemnation, and unflinching reproof of the accursed slave-power, which now seeks to plant its iron hoof upon the necks of the freemen of the North, as well as to continue it upon the prostrate forms of three millions of slaves, will be fearlessly administered. As Elihu of old, declared to the false comforters of Job, so would the author of the following pages affirm, - "I know not how to give flattering titles, for in so doing would my Maker take me away." Before proceeding to an examination of the character of Gen. Taylor, it may be proper to offer a few remarks en passant in reference to the present attitude of what was formerly the Whig party.
