Gen. Tayler oprs Mora.

We know that readers are surfeited with repetition of the asi letter of Gen. Taylor, but the following Is te his acs redited friend Capt Allison his former letter to whom Is regarded as the text book of Taylo ism. We take this from the New Orleans Pieayune which we hope win be sufficient voucher that 1t Is not forgery, although, as the whfgs have real hiea of what Gen. TayIor's po- l;tical opiniol.s are, they call any letter forgery that does not suit the latitude; letters which the northern Taylor claim to be hss, are repudiat~d by his southern friends and rice ut this letter is also in the columns of the New Orleans Balletin a whig paper and no doubt, if not the Generals ae,,'' has been written by his authority. Que would scarcely believe that the same who done the war horse letter could hare written such an episte as this.

But Tiven from the context, and separated from series of explanatory facts aud eifeuH stsn- eeswhfeh gre, in far this canvass is eeneerne historical, they are as deceptive though thev positive fabsicaiisns. l address you this letter to correct the injustice that has been done me- and the pubic to the extent that an object oi interest to them. by this liberal process.
