Letter from Gen. TayLor--We understand says
the New York Mirror of yesterday, that there is a
letter in town from Gen. Taylor written in reference
to his nomination for the Presidency, in which he
expresses preference for Henry Clay over every
other candidate yet named and for Crittenden and
Mclean next. But notwithstanding, that these are
his preferences over all Others, he still candidly
avows that he is not Indifferent to the will of the
people, and rather nmates that he will feel himself
bound to accept the Presidency if the people should
persist in thrusting it upon him. So, let US hear no
more about bis declining the nomiaation. He is
not one of the sort to shirk his duty.
