GENERAL TAYLOR.

1t was whispered about last evening that
General Taylor had sent letter in this city for
publication, repndiating the statements made in
his behalf by the Louisiana delegation in Phil
adephia, and not only denying their right and
authority to make such representation, but rel.
,eraling his former declaration that he would
not be the candidate Of a party. No little ex.
element was created in consequece among The
parties, and there was considerable speculation

veniion would bc held Immediately, and that
the great and glorious statesman of the West
would be again the chosen leader Of his party,

Correspondence of the Mercury.


In the Senate to day, the resolution OF Mr..
Hale to instruct the committee on the Judiciary
to bring in bill to abolish slavery in the Dis.
trict of Columbia came up in its course. and
was nena,ived by vote of 26 to I. Those
who voted in lis favor were Hale, Davis, OF
Mass, Baldwin, Corwn, Clark, Miller, and
Upham. The rest OF the sitting was devoted
to the consideration of private bills, OF which
quite number were passed.
In the House nothing Of particular Importance
transpired, the day being consumed in the dis
cussion of private claims.
The nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, ny the
Barnburners of New York has occasioned much

Southern institutions and interests. But re-.
sentiment for supposed injuries has been stron'
ger than any sentiment of gratitude, it it ever
existed, and Mr.. Van Buren seems determined
that the South shall be made to feel the weight
of his vengeance for her opposition to his noml-
nation in 1874. 1t is by some supposed that
he. and the Anti.Southern principles which he
represents, will be strong enough to carry New
York against both Cass and Taylor, and this is
the more probable, as i! is confidently asserted
that letter, written by Gen. Taylor TO one OF
the Delegates of the Utica Convention, will he

be expected. Mr.. Dix, who is considered the
organ of Van Burcn in the Senate, will speak
on MONDAY on the Oregon Bill, and we may
expect that he will rear the Northern platform

to outbid him Gor the vote of the North, or 10
