Taylor is prepared to strike out this important part of the
Executive power-thus in fact. changing the constitu

the sentiment from his own pen
The above is the view which we take OF the letter at
buted to General Taylor, the suppositon that it be
genuine production; but there is paper published in
this city, under the name Of 50 The National Whg,'
which flies Gen. Tayor's at its masthead for the next
President of the United States this paper, in its num-

''Some years since, there little man by the name

in il like the twadde of the "Sgnal" forgery? Nothing
Here follows the letter to Col. w Taylor, which we
have already pubshed and the National Wing" con-
cudes as follows:
" In the time, demand, a matter of Justice
the old hero that every paper which shall publish this vile
forgery from the Signal copy this article Gen. Tay-
or himself will nail the reach

Whether the letter attributed to Gen. Taylor be genu-
inc or forgery will soon be decided by subsequent de-
velopments from Cincinnati or from Gen. Taylor
We learn from two citizens OF Cincinnati, in
Washington that the National Wing" does injustice to
the talents of Mr.. Taylor
