Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-02-18

We have already published the condemnatory para
graph Of the Boston Atlas concerning the late extra
ordinary letter of Gen. Taylor against the Admins
traion, and against the further prosecution of the
Mexican war. OF the same letter We have the FOL-
lowing remarks condemnatory by two of the leading
wing presses Of the State Of New York The N. Y.
Courier and Enquirer says:
The publication Of private letter from General TAYLOR
in relation 20 the of the administration towards him.
Is alike unjust to that gallant officer ard injurious
vice. That Gen. Taylor himself will disapprove this wholly
unjusable revelation Of his private thoughts be
douoted-and, although when given 10 the public
did not feel at liberty from the interest attached such
letter, to exclude it Om columns, the less
greet that IL should ever have got into circulation.
The motive assigned Of desiring vindicae Taylor
against the assaults OF the administration party
once of presumption, and in military sense, Of nsubordi
nasmuch the defence Of Gen Tay-
lor il defence he need might safely conded the dis
elimination well gratitude of the people Of the United
sates-and characterization 10 military sense, inasmuch

Upon these comments of the Albany Journal the
Cincinnati Herald, an anti-slavery paper, Observes
The publication Of the letter may afford aid and

The Louisville Courier, Nativst paper, whose
sympathies all whig says:
Gen. GAINES says the New York Gazette and Times was
