the examination at the close of the sum

We give below Il Letter from Gen. TAY-
LoR, which has been written by him with
a view 10 correct any misunderstanding as
regards various recent publications OF de-
tachcd extracts from his private letters to
individuals, which have been given TO the
public in violation of that tacit confidence
which is always understood 10 attach TO

The present letter gives a clear and
connected statement of the circumstan-

ddatc for the Presidency. and defines his
position in connexon with il in 4 manner

we think, dcfics future misrepresentation

opponents.
