General Taylor and the Presidency.

We give in to-day's paper very important
correspondence that recently took place between
the editor of the Cincinnati Signal and the
hero Of Buena Vista, on the subject OF the Presl-
dency.
There are three points in General Taylor's
letter which are worthy of consideration at the
present time. First, he is opposed to giving his
views on the polit cal questions Of the day till
the war is ended Secondly, he will accept
the nomination for the Presidency, but he will
not be the candidate Of any party. And thirdly,
that he approves of the sentiments and views
embraced in the Cincinnati EDITORS editorial.
We commend this correspondence to the at
tentive perusa of our readers.

THE RECEPTION IN BOSTON.


From the Boston Advertiser, June SOL
Yesterday morning at eight o'clock the President left
were Mr. Secretary Buchanan, Mr.. Attorney General
Clifford Mr.. Commissioners Of Patents Burke the oom-
mttees Of invitation from Boston, Charlestown, and
Roxbury the United States Marshal for Massachusetts,
aud several other individuals.
The train came down from Springfield with great ra-
pdy but not able to chronicle all the Presidents
movements on the route At about a quarter past
twelve o'clock the committee of reception from Boston
members Of the two boards of the common council
found that the train was close upon the Bos
ton and Brookline line. AT this line the cars were
stopped and the President and his cortege got out and
their places in carriages provided to bring them
into the city the mill dam There was no speech
making at this place and the President entered the
ba rouche provided for him without any ceremony.
In about twenty-five minutes, the vehicles, containing
his Exceency and suite reached the Eastern hither
end Of the Western Avenue, where the city authorities
with the military escort, in waiting Here all ths
troops presented which salute the President
knowledged by repeated bows
The Chief Magistrate then officially introduced
to the Mayor by Alderman Parker chairman Of the city
committee Of invitation and Mr. Quincy welcomed his
Excellency to the city In the following brief address
Mr. President-In behalf of the citizens of Boston
welcome the Chief Magistrate Of the Union, to the
tropolis Of Massachusetts,. welcome you officially
the representative Of those whose fathers by
In the days Of the Revolution, and of the twenty mil
lions who with constitute this great confsderscy
welcome you as statesman to an acquaintance with
the and to an examination Of the institutions Of
New England. To an acquaintance with whose in
dustry intelligence and enterprise has clothed this bar
soil with plenty and made 1t the abode Of and
science, Of virtue and religion To examination Of
the institutions particularly of the free school, the Pc
cuiar institution of land by which, with the bless.
ing Of Heaven hope to continue Of intelligent
freemen, who will understand, maintain, and transmit,
the liberties and virtues Of their fathers the end OF
time We receive you as we received your predecessors
in Office, and that you will grant they did the
honor Of considering you the guest of the city, during
To this Mr. Folk responded almost AZ briefly so far

We have not yet received tidings of any of the
steamships that are on their way to this country
but we will certainly have one, and probably
two, tomorrow or next day.
The American steamship Washington will
leave Southampton to-day for New York; and,
no matter how long she may have taken to reach
there, she will, it is confidently expected, make
the return passage in ten or eleven days at the
farthest. She left here under circumstances not
very favorable for speed, and it would be unfair
to form an opinion of her speed from that trip
The return trip, we are satisfied, will realize
the most sanguine expectations of all concerned.

Sunday next will be the seventy first anniver-
sary of the declaration Of independence of the
United States of America, and we hope and ex-
pect that it will be celebrated in proper man
by all our citizens on the Monday following.
AS usual, our city will be taken possession of
that day by country folks, who will come here
TO see the sights of Gotham, and drink root beer
and lemonade in patriotic quantities., and in
thorough democratic style. We do not know
whether the Common Council will allow booths
10 be erected around the Park this year or not
If they do not, those same country folks will be
amazingly disappointed. and will be driven to
worse places TO obtain something to enable them
TO bear the fatigues of the day and the heat of
the sun.
OF course the military will turn out strong
and we shall have without doubt a regular old
fashioned procession. The Declaration of indie
pendence will be read by incipient orators, and
snake heads and squibs will frighten the ladies,
and burn their clothes A thousand excursions
will be enjoyed on that day, to every place with
in fifty miles of the metropolis.
Thousands of our Gothamites will not make
up their minds as to the places to which they vii

that morning, which generally contains a list o
the excursions to take place. According to ou
custom, we shall notice them all, and point ou

tisements as soon.as possible

and in those localities where the poorer class OF
emigrants congregate, bringing it with them ;
and even here it would soon disappear under a
change OF treatment, air and diet, wereit not for
fresh cases from on ship board The causes
which predispose to it, do not exist among US
it is the child of famine and want Of ventilation,
and cannot brook plenty in the face. Out OF The
hospitals not one in a thousand OF our citizens
has seen a case of il, even heard oil one In
the whole range Of his acquaintance.
1t is the duty Of the press, TO present facts as
thew are and while we would deprecate all at
tempts at coacealment, where there Is real dan
ger, we would wish in this case to disabuse the
fears of any whose business or pleasure calls
them among us. Those whose interest il is to
check or divert the tide of travel which, at this
season of the year, sets toward New York, are
somewhat in the habit of getting up periodical
epidemic for u.s. They thus alarm those whom
they msinform, and detain them at the cities
and watering places south Of us.
Wecan assure our friends at a distance that in
visiting the city at this time, they will incur no
unusual risk. They will see some changes for
the better and will find the sea breeze and the
surf of Rockaway and Of Newport as inviting,
the air of the Catskills as pure and bracing, and
I waters of Saratoga as sparkling and refresh
ing as in former years; while the boats that
speed them along the Hudson and the Sound,
have not their equals for elegance and comfort in
the world
