TURKEY ron GENERAL TAyLoR.--The New Or
leans Courier says that invitation had been ex-
tended to General Taylor 10 be present Mt the dinner
given by the Artillery Battalion; but as matter Of
course the departure Of the General had been fixed
for o'clock in the morning, he was unable to accept
the invitation. The officers and members Of the Bat
talon, resolving not TO be outdone by their fellow
citizens, in showing respect to the war-worn vete-
ran, had pasteboard turkey constructed, which had
all the appearance of being finely roasted natural
one, and sent it to Gen. Taylor at the ST. Charles
When this artificial fowl was opened, il was found
to containnot dough and savory viands as is usll-
ally the case, but splendid pair of gold epaettes
together with magnificent sash. This beautiful
tribute ofrespect coners honor alike on the giyers
and recipient.

AFTERNOON, deer %, Is47,
He For President sl5s5
GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Subject 10 the decision Of the wing National Convention

We learn that general expectation prevails in
Washington that Mr.. Clay will shortly make pub
LEGATION formally and positively declining to be can
didate for the Presidency. This expectation we un-
derstand rests upon declarations recently made by
Mr. Clay to confidential friends now at the seat Of
Government. Ever since 1874, Mr.. Clay has been
fully determined not TO be candidate unless under
circumstances indicating decsively that large ma
jority of the people DESTROYS to him In the
executive chair. His mind has been made up that,
under state of things, would he consent to COM
pete for,the nomination. In his recent speech and
resolutions he laid down the line Of policy upon
which he thought the Government ought to be con-
Quoted and marked out course for the adoption Of
the Wing party. He still remains unshuken in the
conviction that he was nght--that the honor and
welfare OF the nation demanded such a course from
the Government and his friends; but 1t has become
apparent 10 him that great diversity Of opinion pre-
walls among the Wings this question: and he des-
pairs Of seeing such unanimity 10 indispensable
success under this banner. He WILL therefore abso.
iutely decline a nomination.--[B Buff Express.
We are happy to have it in our power to
confirm the impressions Of our Buffalo con-
temporary and to add further, on undoubt-
ed authority, that, as between Gen. Taylor
and any other citizen, Mr.. Clay is decidedly
in favor Of the elevation Of the Hero Of Buena
Vista to the Presidency.
