while it contains good deal of matter Of particular

GEN. TAYLOR AGArN.--With all the perspicuity
claimed for Gen. Taylor writer, and although he
lets occasion for writing pass without improving
it, it impossible to tell what his real opinions
and positions He has several times said that he
would not be candidate of any party, and yet the
Chronicle insists that he does not mean any such
thing In his letter to the Signal, he approved the
views of an Editorial. which urged the approval Of
the wiluot PrUvso, of the conditions which
alone he could be made President. On the authority
of the Washington Correspondent Of the New York
Journal of Commerce. it stated, that Baihe Peyton
has written to Dixon II. Lewis, on the subject Of
General Taylors opinions, which has highly delight
ed the Alabama Senator, vino the strength of it.,
has declared that he will be supported by all the
Southern States.
1t strikes that those who consider the nomina-
ton and election Of Gen. Taylor settled matters,
will be disappointed. There's many slip between
cup and lip. We do not believe he can be elected
in any other way, if he can be at all, than the
candidate of party.-Cincinnati Herald.
