Caleb B Smith Advocates Taylor in Indiana Letter
A lengthy political letter from Indiana Representative Caleb B. Smith endorses Zachary Taylor over Cass. Smith argues Taylor’s foreign and domestic pledges protect Congress power to restrict slavery and prevent expansion, while Cass risks war and despotism. Gen. Scott reportedly commands the North-eastern Army division with headquarters at Elizabethtown, New Jersey.
