A QUESTION SETTLED.

as 10 lhe h1ltlta ol ten, Taylor, we are
surprised, however, that the veteran editor
Of the "uhion,' should be deceived, ibr
the old Generals uniform nildness and for,
bearanee on tho subject of poIiles--his
freedom trom parllzan violence and diela.
lofial announcement, should, at least, have
created the probability lha, he might be a
Wing. The only way the editor of the
Union avoids these merenccs, is, by de.
nying the authenticity of the sentiments
attributed TO General Taylor. The senli.
menls themselves, are noble and patriotic
aud breathe the genuine spirit of hlgh.tonrd
integrity, and love of country. But what

in. General fa}lnf's letter 10 the editor
Of tho Cincinnati Sigaai we added thezr
remarks. which we find have attracted
much attention:
"Wilhin the last three days we have
seen 4 letter from General Taylor, in which
he twice declares unequiyocally and in 50
many words, iha, be is "a WIllG." In
lhai letter, however, he strongly disclaims
everything like partisan asperily, aud e1
presses an ardent desire 10 see the cnmiry
delivered ifam the evils which padisan ii
u'enee has brought upon 4"
The editor Of the Washington unian
quotes this paragraph and expresses the
opinion that II Is "a forgorg'-,hat Gen.
Taylor has ntilen no such letter as That
which We speal Of having sceq. Such an
impulalnn ffom some sources might have
power In excite in our mind a feeling Of
anger, but We should as soon think Of get

The letter Of Gen. Taylor, 10 which we
referred, was addressed 10 the Hon. W. ].
Graves oflhis city. by whom Il was shown
10 US on the 9Th oi June uli., aud by whom
We were authorized TO make the use Of 1t

now rei;efale our statement. Gen. Tay.
lor twice declares in Il that he is "a
WlllGa-he declares this directly and nn.
eqniyocally. At the same time. as we re.
marked before, he disclaims all partisan
bitterness and avows his anxiety to see his
beloved country delivered from the disas
irous consequences Of violen, patyism.-
