GENERAL TArLoR's LETTER 20 the editor
OF the Cincinnati Signal does not give en'ife
satisfaction TO the Wings. Several papers
which, few weeks ago, were ready TO take
him as n candidate, without knowing any
thing definite ofhis political principles, seem
now to think il would be unsafe 10 trust
him upou any evidence of his Whigism, al
forded by the letter in question. The Bal
timore Patriot and New Y ork Enquirer still

candidate; but the Boston Atlas doubts

That Gen. Taylor has a large party in the
Union in favor OF his election,it would be
folly to deny but the chief support which he
has thus far received, has come from the
Wings in the South and West. They have
supported him because lac was Wing. and

Ohio, heve hardly been consulted in the
matter. II was their desire, and they had
right to expect, that the next Presidential
candidate should be citizen Of free state

deep. seated but the only inducement which
can be offered to make them unite upon Gen,
Taylor, or any other man, will be the GER
rAIsrY that he alone, Of all othere, IS the
man who can end this war aud rescue the
government from party which has used its
power to bring the scourge Of war upon Us,
for the purpose, as they believe, OF extending
the area of human bondage. The man, to
obtain the Wing votes Of New-Engl land, and
we believs of the free states, must be sound
to the heart upon these two issues-so MORE
WAR, AND NO MORE TERRITORY. There are
Wings who, perhaps. would be willing, in
their desire to see changeuf administration
to support Gen. Taylor without any avowal
on his part, of the principles upon which he
would administer the government. but they
form. in our opinion, but a small portion OF
the Wing party, especially in the free states.
