GEN TAYLoR's LErTER.-The letter of Gen. Taylor,
which published yesterday, is exactly what might
have been expected from his high WORTH pure patriotism,
and unaffected modesy. Ready to serve his country in
whatever way may think best, he is still very far from
desiring any public honors.
What rebuke does the old general give to those noisy
politicians who have sought to accomplish their own
selfish ends by the aud OF his name The improperly
of bringing forward a general for the presidency,
while vet active service against the enemy, Is
manifest to all but the heated partisan. The time
which eapse before the election takes place renders
such the general condemns doubly
able there be necessity for immediate
ton The Whiy State Central Committee acknowledged,
with great simplicity, the only reason why Gen Taylors
name should be used now necessary for the sue
cess of the wing party in Maryland Unless they can
hurah for Gen Taylor they have no battecry. What
damper this letter must prove to those who have in
dulged in such fond hopes of the great service "Od
Rough and Ready" would be to the great wing party
We felt confident that the old hero had too much self
respect allow himself be made the tool Of designing
and corrupt factoriss He can well distinguish between
the enthusiastic admiration of the people, and the blun
lerng efforts of trading politicians to turn that admiration
