Webster's speech endorses Taylor in race with Cass
New York Sept 1 Mr Webster spoke yesterday in New-York and declared strong support for Gen Taylor as fairly nominated. He argued slavery not tied to the nomination, noted Free States majority at Philadelphia, doubted Van Buren, and called Cass the most dangerous man, for war, or for slavery expansion. He said Taylor is a Whig and opposed to war in policy but would not oppose Taylor if he supported neither war nor slavery expansion.
