THE VOTE FOR GEN. TAYLOR. The following
comparison of the vote in the Convention, nominating
Gen. Taylor, and the vote in the States electing him.
sustains the declaration of the opponents of Taylor's
nomination, at the time; that he was nominated by the
votes of States which would not support him at the ballot
box, and that he would be elected, or chosen at all.
by the votes of those, who preferred other candidates.
The comparison will be read with interest by all parties.
We copy from the Springfield Republican.
Ten States, as follows, voted in the Convention for
Taylor, and have since given him their 77 electoral
votes:
Four States, which gave more votes for the other candidates
combined than for Gen. Taylor, have since given
him their electoral vote. They are—
Vermont 6 New York
36
Massachusetts 12 Pennsylvania
26
80
The following eleven States threw in the Convention
their 81 votes for Taylor, but have since given their
electoral vote to Cass:
Ohio, Michigan and New Hampshire gave in the Convention
a majority for the other combined candidates
over Taylor, and have now given their 34 votes for
Cass.
Connecticut was tied, but has given Taylor 6 votes.
South Carolina was also tied, and has thrown 9 votes
for Cass.
The following letter from the Washington correspondent
of a leading Taylor paper, is strikingly significant.
It indicates that Gen. Taylor's friends at Washington
understand him to be opposed to the Wilmot
Proviso, and they are beginning to prepare the public
mind at the north for the manifestations of that opposition.
Washington, Dec. 2d.
The Claiborne letter about General Taylor creates no
sensation here. Very little credit or importance is attached
to it, either by General Taylor's friends or his
opponents. It will surprise no one should he resist the
adoption of any restriction upon slavery in the territories. Those who think that he has given any express
pledge not to veto the Wilmot Proviso are, I apprehend, laboring under a mistake.
Some suppose that the House will, at the coming session,
pass a territorial bill, with the proviso against slavery,
and that the Senate will concur in it and let it go
to Mr. Polk for a veto. But I do not believe that the
Senate will, as now constituted, agree to the proviso.
