The Taylorito*, among tho Whigs, are exceeding
ly anxious to make it appear that Mr. Clay has
withdrawn his name from the canvass for the Pres
idency. It is all false. He will not permit his set

the high
to the people of this Union, a* a wise statesmai
and of the soundest judgement, consequently bis
views augur lavorably for the success of Gen. Tay
lor at the North:
Bostos, Feb. 17th, 1848.
My Dear Sirs:—I beg to offer my acknowledge-
that he did not with to give publicity
honest views of bis party. But it waa the last sen
tence in the communication, the Col. did not wish
to sec the light, where the writer—speaking of tlie
effects of 44 individual liability” on the poor man,
says:—“ If this be one if the articles if thy faith,
oh Democracy ! I no longer bote at th ine altar.'
Mr. Editor,—I thank you for your kindness
permitting my former communication a place
your paper. Nor am I the less sensible of the ob
ligation, under which you have placed me, as it
called in question the correctness of some of yout
own opinions. The kind terms in which you re
ferred to the author, and the summary manner in
which you dispatched him, were entirely accepta
ble to me. I considered your decision pretty much
in the light of a Coroners inquest, from the v
diet of which, you know, it does but little good
appeal. It is true, you did not give a reason for
your sentence upon me, but I did not doubt the
thing was clear to you. It is enough to say, that
I counted nij-eclf dead—Felo dc se, .lain by tl
proper and unwise use of my own weapons.
But sir, I was not suffered long to rest in
opinion. Pretty soon, I saw aa announcement,
that 44 4 Lobby Member’ in reply to ‘Hall,’ was
crowded out this week.” Of course, I considered
this as a reversal of your decision—for surely, so

nfortunate! both for myself and the Legislature
nd I don't know but I might say for Democracy
it was decided, that the creditor! had a rightt o pur
sue the dividend.
From his second proposition, he argues, that a*
corporations have no souls, they pursue their debt-
s even to the prison-house. “ under that law (he
:ry justly says) which still disgraces the statute-
book of civilization—imprisonment for debt.” Is
it not strange that 44 Lobby Member” should sug
gest a difficulty of this sort t That he should wish
enforce a law upon the stockholders which he
denounces as a disgrace to the statute-book of civi
lization ! J gave you,'Mr. Editor, in my previous
communication, such thoughts as had presented
themselves in opposition to the provision. My
views are unchanged. I will say, moreover, that
since I have seen the provision of the Charter,
given by 44 Lobby Member,” I am the more <
pos*8 to it. Let me state the case. I consider my
self worth ten thousand dollars; I take stock it

I pa} it all in, and going upon the presumption that
•‘Lobby Member” is right, and that the camp
will go in debt—suppose they are sued,'the corpo
rate property being insufficient to pay the debt by
five thousand dollars—they levy on my property, it
is forced into market, and my family left houseless.
Toor consolation to tell me to levy on the property
of five hundred others, and force them to pay their
What is more sir, it places the stockholders at
the mercy of the directors and • capitalists, w ho
would be eager to loan them money. This i
tice—this is equality—this is democracy with

Who arc likely to be the creditors 1 The people ?
No. The people are the stockholders. It is for
the benefit oi capitalists—it t2*to place the hard-
•ned pittance of the poor man, who has put in his

ducts of his labor, at the mercy of him who lives
