If W. S. Taylor, coward and poltroon, and accused murderer, has ought to say in his own defense, let him take the witness stand in Kentucky and tell ex-Gov. Bradley and Judge Yost to their faces that Ripley lied. Let him tell Culton to his face that he lied. Let Taylor prove, if he can, that circumstances even more damning than the testimony, do but lie; that his flight was not a confession of guilt; that all men are liars save Wm. S. Taylor, ex-governor of Kentucky, at present a fugitive from justice, outside the borders of that State.-Albany Argus.
