Gen. TsyIor's Po-itIon-New Light.
The late letter from Gen. Taylor to the Editor Of
the Richmond Republican mus. have fixed the at
,sntion Of every Political reader. II will be noted
that this letter il written 70 ardent and Inteh-
gent supporter, in reply to questions drawn up 70
favor she nomination aud election Of the Genera
and that the whole correspondence was prepared
with express reference 10 its publication 80 also
with the letter written by Gen Taylor 70 his fss-
tive, and frst Published through the NewOnesns
Picayune. From the two the public may sa'ne'
liberal amount Of negative iniormsaon--'o VII
that Gen. Taylor has not declared 10 favor q tne
Tariff Of 40, nor the SubTressory' nor the Mex
can war. nor several other things What he Is
in favor Of is By no means clearly indicated but
we gather that be is rather well inclined toward
Wbig views on most controyerted topics, and that
he will let Congress legisste very much as it shall
think proper. So far, we could get along with
these letters tolersbly well But when Gen. Tsy.
Tor sees ct 70 say, 10 many words, that If HESFr
CLAY or any other uneqoiyossl Wing shall be
nominated for President by the Wing National
Convention, be will stl run ia opposition 70 the
candidate so nominated. we think he prcsumes
very far on the good nature Of bis Wing ineads
and the Wing party generally.
Just consider the caD0r which has been raised
about the alleged presumption Of Mr. CLAY IN his
late Card, which merely says. in substance, by
friends insist that ought 70 be the Wing caudi-
date and that can unite the party and insure rs
success if nominated. ] therefore submit the
whole matter 20 TIE decision Of the Wing Con
.vention' The whole Mon mas rUDg with deri-
sion and denunoiaten Of this. But there Was not
svord Of intimation that Mr.. Clay would run any
boy-nominated at Philadelphia or not nominated
nobody ever suspected or imagined any such
thing. Yet here comes Gen. TaylOr--certhiniy not
an older nor a better soldier in the Wing ranks
than Mr.. Clsy-snd says plumPy, " } do not de
sign 10 withdraw my name II Mr.. Clay be The
nominee Of the Wing National Convention. -
Surely such fore warning is not calculated TO REQ
oncile the friends OF Mr.. Clay 70 tho support o'-
Gen Taylor, nor 10 animate their exertons IN cose
he should be nominated
We forbear farther remark at this time for we
intend not 10 embauass our own position an Gen.
TAYLOR has done his We mean TO hold such an
attitude that. whatever candidate may be MONT
mated at Philadelphia, we may act with regard 70
him as principle and public good not passion and
prejudice, may dictate. We consider and wait
