GENERAL TAYLoR'S LETTERING are glad to

Of yesterday? In re-publishing yesterday the
celebrated editorial Of the Signal, (Which The
Republican aud The Wing have NOT yet quo,ed,)
The Times conveys the severest rebuke that we

II says:
ave are not surprised that MI. J. w. Taylor [the
Editor Of the Signal] should have written 10 &C.

We ask the Republicans attention TO the fol-

LEGATION of Gen. Tayors last letter. No 6, OF the
Thompsonian system Of medicine, celebrated for
its steaming and sweating process, would be but
childs play compared with The effect this letter has
upon our Federal opponents. They wrggle
like an eel upon sharp hook while undergoing
the hiding process. Many oflhem begin tothink
"old Rough and Ready" is not the kind of man
they took him for. The ghost Of Tylerism slares
them in the face, and no wonder they exhibit so
much perturbation. The last paragraph has ere
aled nausea which renders even a hasty plate
of soup unpala,able. Poor, deluded victims OF
Federal folly and madness !! The cup Of their
sorrows. vexalions, and disappoinmenis, is al,
most full. The future, 10 them, is as dark and
hopeless, as the past and the present. A momen-
lary transpor. is quickly followed by depression,

have been awfuly bamboozed themselves. "The

lows misfnrnnea and Disasters are their Inherit
