General Taylor.

We publish to-day another letter from GenerSl
Taylor, which we take from Wing paper, the Troy
Post In this it will be that Ie repeats his de-
termination not TO allow himself TO be made the can
dIdate of any party association OF men, The IAN
guage is not quite 80 emphatic as that of the letter
addressed to the editor Of the Cincinnati Morning
Signal, declaring that he would not allow himself to
be made tie instrument of any party but Ii amounts
10 the thing. and proves that the language OF
that letter the expression of fixed deermlna-
ton on his part.
We suspect that the conclusion of the matter viii
be that If the Wings cannot make him their tool they
viii have nothing To do with him. 1t he would
bring his personal popularity TO their SIDE trans
fer his friends to their ranks, submit TO any DISPOSE
ton they might make of him, whether 10 stand aside
at the last moment for DIR. Clay some other Wing
candidate, or, if 1t should be thought advisable TO
retain him candidate, allow his cabinet 10 be
formed by the Wings, and adopt their principles of
policy in the administration of the government, he
would be certain Of very jealous support from their
party On any conditions short OF these the thorough
faced wings, very sure, will not support him.
The Richmond Times. which one of the first Ia
recommend General Taylor candidate for the
Office Of President, now whistles hlm down the wind
IN the following manner:
"The letter of General Taylor the editor Of the Gin
cinnai Signal which published yesterday, seems to be
intended by the writer formal declaration than
that has yet appeared Of his views IN regard II the
Presidency lie states without eQulNOcatiOns liat ~ no
he permit himself to be The candidate Of any party
If General Taylor adheres this resolution,
strained to express an opinion that the Wing party cannot
be expected surrender their ganizton aud their prn-
cpes for the purpose Of elevang him 10 the Presidency
They have rendered him the homage of enthusiastic admira
tiou meIey for his distinguished services soldier,
but for his noble moderation his conspicuous good aud
his calm dignity in receiving the sights of an aenaed
administration. They have rallied man, Congress
and IN The county to defend h> epution rom unseneIon
assaults Almost unanimously they have looked forward
with pleasing ancpaOus the period when they could
reward him with the highest station in the civil government
But # General Taylor deliberately chooses To decline that
honorable testimonial Of their gratitude because they would
Oler it Ways. cannot perceive that they have any
resource but 10 accompany him 10 the retirement he covet
the close of the with their poloundes regrets and
undated affection. There others UhO dscry nothing 10
rero at in receriEg the concerted support Of the great g
party Of the UaiOR"
The Boston Atlas also says
This letter is most important General Taylor
has written in relation 10 the Presidency He says In 10
he permit himself 10 be the candidate Of any party,
yield himself 10 party schemes" What will those papers
this which his claims be the Wing candi-
date subject the decision Of the Wing National Conven-
ton ," General Taylor says he will permit himself TO
be candidate for the nomination at any party convention
and understand by the party schemes, !"
that he will yield himself to any party measures What
claims, them has General TAI or the Of Wings as
Wings No have the votes Of the wings for PTes-
dent Of the United States unless he be hTm, unfnchng
advocate of their principles. The whole interest and IN
po,tauce of Presidential election grows Of the
present stale Of adais in this country"
| A Louisville Wing print pretends that letter has
been written to somebody IN Kentucky, in which
General Taylor declares distinctly that he is a Wing.
The Washington Union denies the truth of this, and
asks for the publication of that letter. The public,
we think will be satisfied with nothing short of the
production of the letter itself
Among the most eager champions of Gen. Tayor's
nomination we find set of men who are not in good
oduur with either parly-rnen who have shuffled and
manGuvered away, in course Of political double
dealing, what little confidence the public might once
have placed in them The other day Mr.. N. p Tai
madee made a speech, somewhere in the western
country, in which he eulogized the old warrior and
predicted his election by such vote as few candidates
ever received 1t is not the fault Of General Taylor
if such men, fallen into contempt with the opposite
political associations to which they once belonged,
and no longer IN situation to hope any thing from
them now turn to him. the hope that, if he should
be elected, they may be remembered in the dlstrbu-
ton of Offices Ii is not his fault but il lscerianly
a misfortune. Nobody can be excluded from party
to which he persists in attaching himself, but such
men as these debaSe the character of any party into
which they force themselves-N. Y. Post
