IlI-fafed WhIggery---Gen. TayI0r's
LettertO the Cincinnati Signal prOs
Meunced q Forgery!

AVuMCCh u OABCAys
AS we expected, Gen.. Taylor's letter to
the editor Of the Cincinnati Signal, in which
he declined becoming the instrument of the
whig party TO carry out lis "schemes," has
produced terrible row in the federal ranks.
A uhig organ in Washington Cily-called
the National Wing, established especially 10
support the General--starts off in perfect
fury Of bitter dcnnnciation, and pronounces
the letter 10 the Signal VILE FORGERY!
This National Wing then publishes the let
ter, and closes by the following:
"By this time. we have no doubt, the rea-
der has come 10 the conclusion we have ar
rived at, namely that the above letter, with
the printed signature Of General Taylor to
ii, is forgery.
nounce il forgery, base, contemplate for
gerry. Not that James w. Taylor is the for
ger. We do moi say thai--,hough he is vain
man. He is the victim Of wicked decep-
tion, il he is not the deceiver himself lie
is person of no influence in Cincinnati,
and utterly unknown to General Taylor.
".rhere is nothing like Gen. Taylor in this
silly letter. The whole world will pro-.
nounce it cnnnterfeit at once, because the
whole world knows the style Of the Hero Of
Buena VISTA"
"a forgery base, contemplate forgery"
--"a wicked deception"--a ''sILLY letter.
ga counterfeit the editor Of the Signal
"vain man," ga person of no infuence"!i
When such fellows as the editor Of the ssNa-
tional Wing" are about. is it any wonder that
old Zachary refuses to be the leader ofsuch
trhig schemes, at leasl?-Ohio Statesman.
CONSIDERING that our force in Mexico has
at no time exceeded 90, ,000, or a, most 95 900
men; that the population of Mexico is at
least 100000 that the natural efences
of the country are superior even to those Of
Afghanistan, without including either north
ers or Yellow Fever; and that what has been
accomplished, is the result of not exceeding
fourteen months warfare; considering these
things and others which 60 TO make up the
whole case, it seems to US that more could
not be asked from any 1000 men that the
world ever saw None but band Of heroes
could have accomplished so much. Every
page Of the unwritlen history of this war re-
cords instances of personal daring and self
devotion which cannot lie surpassed. The
Mexicans TOO, on several occasions have
fought bravely. In the fourteen months
that this war has continued, they have killed
and wounded two-thirds as many of our men
as the British did on land in the whole Of the
war of 1925. The war on our part has
been conducted far more vigorously, and the
men, as whole, have been much better
soldiers.
To make long story short one, it seems
to us that Englishmen, instead Of attempting
to disparage our troops or our nation, would
do better for themselves and for US, by claim
ing us as q shoot from the parent stock, a
chip ofthe whole block, legitimate branch
of the Anglo-Saxon family, full of the same
energy and indomtable valor.--Joar. Com.
