Free Soil Banner, Indianapolis, Marion County, 27 October 1848 — Page 4

Mr. tiiddings at Cleveland, Ohio Immense Meeting of the Free Democracy—Highly interesting Discussion —'Fay lor ism used up. There was an immense meeting of free soilers at Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday night, 26th ult., at which Mr. Giddings spoke. The most prominent Taylor men of the city, were present at the meeting, and upon the invitation of Mr. G. propounded a few of their supposed unanswerable queries to him. We give an account of the proceedings from the Plaindealer, a Cass concern, and of course not over friendly to Mr. G., however much delighted at the rebuff of Taylorism. The old Senator completely unhorsed the Taylor champions . The star actor and lion of the play was Giddings himself. The secondary lights—the jesters, prompters and interrogators—were Senator Backus, F. J. Prentiss, 1). .1. Garrett, and S. Prentiss. The morning paper, the “True Democrat," announced that Mr. Giddings had arrived, and would hold forth at the Court House in the evening.— The evening paper, the Herald, gave notice that the Taylor meeting which was to be held that evening, would be postponed. Thus were signals exchanged between those contending organs, and everything betokened a desperate fray. No one was disappointed. The Court House was crowded.— The Taylor men were there, armed to the teeth with interrogatories sharper than stileloes, and intended to be more fatal. Giddings was on hand with every preparation that an invaded individual could make. He was armed at all points, and, like the porcupine, whenever attacked, left his mark upon his adversary. He commenced the humble, anxious inquirer after truth; said he loved everybody; was open to reproof, correction, and conviction. If lie in his innocence, stated anything wrong, he hoped to be corrected, and desired his auditors to ask him any questions they pleased. He would make statements and then call upon his audience to know if he was not right. If none answered, of course silence was presumed to give consent, and in this way he went on for a while. Giddings in this manner, was proceeding, carrying everything before him, demolishing Taylorism, rearing monuments to its memory, &c., when one of the members of the Taylor Club pitched at him like a yearling bull at a brush fence. This was what the old fox wanted. The young and fierce assailant F. J. Prentiss, Esq., a scion of the green mountains (our native state) and as ardent as the eternal snows of those bleak hills could make him. Giddings had asked if any Taylor man present could tell what Gen. Taylor’s views were in reference to the Wilmot Proviso; Prentiss answered that he could. He had lately had a private talk with one Leslie Combs, (a Kentucky slaveholder,) and this Combs (of liberty pole memory) had lately had a private talk with General Taylor, in which private talk, General Taylor had avowed his opposition to the extension of slavery, and was in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. That was the proof. Giddings smiled a triumphant grin. He had his victim entirely in his power. “Leslie Combs,” said he, “and who is Leslie Combs ? What right has he to Gen. Taylor’s private sentiments on this subject more than the humblest citi/.en of this Republic ? Docs not this momentous question concern us all ? Have we not all a right to know the sentiments of a Presidential candidate on a question which absorbs all others ? Why did not Gen. Taylor publish these opinions to the world ? He has been repeatedly asked to do so and he pertinaciously refuses. The great mass of voters are to be led to the polls blindfolded, and compelled to vote in the dark upon a question which not only affects them and their children, but their children’s children ! “Now,” said Mr. Giddings, “what kind of proof is this, upon which Gen. Taylor is convicted of entertaining even private opinions in favor of the Wilmot Proviso ? “Why,” said he, “it is evidence that would be ruled out of court before a country magistrate in a case of sheep stealing.” [Here the cheers of the Van Buren men were tremendous.] After considerable parleying with Mr. Prentiss, Mr. G. proceeded and stated that he with several other members of Congress, had addressed letters to Gen. Taylor on the subject of the Proviso, to which no answers were ever received. Some one asked if they had paid the postage. “No !” says Giddings, “we franked them !” [A shout.] But, said he, when Gen. Taylor was addressed by a Southern editor, to know if he meant in his Signal letter to be understood as a Provisoist, he promptly replied that he did not wish to be so understood. To prove that Taylor was opposed in tototothe Proviso, Giddings cited the case of the legislative committee of Mississippi, and the report of one of its members to Mr. Tompson, a member of Congress. Here Senator Backus arose, shook the dew from his mane, and asked Mr. Giddings what proof he had any such correspondence was ever had ? Giddings quickly replied, -that he had seen the original letter of Boone, the committee man, to Mr. Thompson, a copy of which he there had, and would read. Dander and blixen, what a shout here rose from the Van Bu-

ren men. Backus slunk into his chair, and looked but the pigmy of his former self. After a long roar of laughter by the whole crowd, they wound up by three loud cheers. It was feared that this, would be the last appearance of the Taylor men. But not so. Their chief “never surrenders,” and old Zack would have been proud of his young “bloodhounds,” could he have seen them in this unequal light, like volunteers at Buena Vista, sticking by him to the last. But old Zack would never have been ambushed as were these bully boys last night. They showed more courage than discretion in trying to make out this old slave dealer a Proviso man, and that too in the presence of Giddings. Storming Monterey with a pop-gun would have been about as sensible and successful an act. Giddings had the boys all the timeon this subject, and played with them as a kitten plays with its first mouse, first poking them about and then swallow-

ing them.

Senaca Falls, Oct. 4 1848.

Horace Gkf.kly, Esq.—Dear Sir: In your article in Monday’s Tribune, entitled “ "44 and ’4 8.” I think you allude to me as “ A friend who had

this State just now than all others? Why are the resolutions ol themeet- ; ing at which you gave in your adhe- | sion to Taylor silent upon this quesi tion, while both eloquence and wit are ! employed against the conquest of Cuba

Resolved, That it is the duty of the federal government to relieve itself from all responsibility for the existence or continuance of slavery, wherever that government possesses constitutional authority to legislate on that subject, and is thus re-

sponsible for its existence.

this the action of the General Govern-

ment is legitimate.

Long after the organization of the Liberty party, a new question was presented—the Annexation of Texas with its Slavery. That party—unpatriotically, as I thought—preferred the preservation of its party organization to merging with the anti-Annexationists to keep out Texas, just as the whig party, unpatriotically, as I now think, prefers preserving its party organization to merging with the anti-Exten-sionists it, is the. Taylar party that is now in the way of the anti-Slavery principles for which the great whig

party battled in ’44.

I am contending now, as

[ of all unnecessary offices and salaries, and the election by the people of all civil officers in the service of the government, so far as the same may

am acting with the only party that now makes opposition to Slavery Extension one of its distinct principles, either by the resolutions 1t adopts or the candidates it nominates, and the only party that in my judgement can be trusted to prevent Slavery Extension; the only party that when in power can arrest it without being at once dissolved. You talk of electing Gen. Taylor and a whig Congress, that some old whig measures may be saved. How long, my dear Sir, do you think this Taylor whig party will hold to-
