GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRESIDENCY.
We published last week, the letter from Gen.
TAYLOR to the editor of the Cincinnati Signal, ac-
companed byt the editorial article that called forth
that letter, but had not, at that time, either time
or room for comments on those productons.-
Gen. Tayor's letter, taken by itself, furnished no
clue to the measures that should govern his Ad.
ministration, should it be the will of the Amer.
can people to place him in the Presidential office;
and the editorial of the Signal, fully approved and
endorsed by the General, though written in an
ambiguous style, and containing many sentiments
of a doubtful and Objectionable character, was
necessary to acorrectunderstanding of the letter.
1t seems to us that Gen. Taylor places very
high estimate upon the value of his services, if
he supposes that the people Of the United States,
on account of those services will, irrespective OF
the party ties that have heretofore bound 'hem,-
irrespective of the measures upon which they
have heretofore so widely differed, lay aside the
principles for which they have so long and so
ably contended, and unite in the support of man
who studiously conceals has sentiments from the
public eye.
We do not desire to deprecate the achieve.
ments of Gen. Taylor. His military career has
been marked by successful bravery; all that man
should desire to accomplish in that way, has been
accomplished. But of what real benefit has all
bis victories been to the countryl Would we
not be as prosperous if the fair fields of PaIo
Alto had never been drenched with human gore!
Would we not be as happy if the plains of Resa-
ca de la Palma hud never Witnessed the strife Of
battle and the gfoans of the dyingl Would the
National honor have been furnished if Gen. Tay-
lor had never crossed the Rio Grandel Would
our military reputation have been compromised
if our army had never seen the heights of Mon
,erevl Would we, as a nation, have any cause
10 regret, if our army had never encamped on
,be blood-stained field Of Buena Vstal All
these battles have evinced both skill and courage
have placed the valor of our arms beyond cav
lI,--but what have they accomplished We are
