In reply to some remarks of ours, the
Morning Courier quotes an article from the
Cincinnati Herald which seems intended TO
show that the Native Americans have the
same ground for supporting Gen. Taylor as
q Native American that the Wing. have for
supporting him as Wing, This matter
is very readily disposed Of. If we support
General Taylor as Wing, it is because we
conversed with him three years ago and
found him to be Wing, and because we
have talked with his intimate friends and
the members of his family who assure US
that he is Wing, and because we have
seen in black and white his own declara-
lions that he is Wing, And now we
should like to inquire whether the Native
Americans pretend that General Taylor, Ell
ther verbally or in writing, has declared
himself Native American
When General Taylor shall declare him
self Native American, it will be time
enough for the Natives to support him as
Native. Till then, let them perpetrate no
such outrage upon his fair fame

ns.The editor Of the Washington Union
remarks upon the number Of Gen. Taylor's
letters that have been published To be
surs several of his letters have been publish
ed. but there are two of his letters that have
not been published. These two letters
were written on the eve of the battle OF
Buena Vista, one of them to the War De-
partment and the other to a near relative
and dear personal friend. Much has been
said Of the letter to the War Department,
and many anxious inquiries have been made
for it all over the country, but the Admins
tration, in disregard Of all opportunities, has
refused to give it 10 the public. The other
letter, that to relative and friend, we have
seen, At the date oft, Gen. Taylor had the
greatest doubt as to the result Of the dread
ful and most unequal encounter then about
to take place; he looked upon the defeat Of
his army As by no means improbable, and
he knew, that, in case of defeat, he himself
should remain cold and bloody upon the
field; and the letter was intended, in the
event Of his defeat and his fall, to serve as
a vindication of his memory by explaining
his reasons for hazarding the fearful encoun-
ter. ..
Il was a terrible letter, and, although our
troops were not defeated and although Gen.
Taylor still survives, we earnestly hope that
it will one day be given to the public.

G5-The Washington Union wants to
know Gin what altitude those men appear
before the public who have claimed Gen
Taylor as Wing and Henry Clay Wing"
They appear before the public in the attitude
of truth-tellers. We have seen letter from
Gen. Taylor to the Hon. w. J. Graves in
which he repeatedly declares himself ga
Whig'' in 30 many words, and we have
seen letters from him to friend and relative
stating that he prefers Henry Clay to him
self for the Presidency, and the Washington
Union has admitted the fact of his having
declared, that, if he had been in the United
States at the last Presidential election, he
'swould have voted for Henry Clay" Pray
how far does all this fall short Of showing
that Gen. Taylor is ga Wig and Henry
Clay Whige"
