We select the following from the National
Intelligence more for the quiet and cautious
honesty with which it is written than, be-
cause we really think it does justice TO the
subject OF it.
PERSONAL CHARACTER OF GEN. TAY-
L0R.
The letter which we give below was writ
ten by gentleman who has long enjoyed the
pleasure of an intimate personal acquai ntance
with General Taylor. 1t was written at the
request OF friend, who has placed it in our
hands for publication. 1t accords with all
our own impressions OF the Generals charac-
ter, and with the opinions of all whom we
have heard speak oil him from personal knowl-
edge We are not at liberty 10 name the
writer, but we can state that he is u gentle
man widely known for his piety and talents,
whose name, if given, would command uni
versal confidence in the truth and sincerity OF
his statements. With that constituencies
which distinguishes him. he has been careful
not to give too high coloring to his portrait,
for in private note he says: 81 fear have
not made what you ished, but was afraid
to let my heart pour its tricklings out of the
end OF my pen, lest my eulogy should have
made readers distrust me as too PARTIAL

Pittsburgh all is right. The name Of Taylor
. heard in every corner; so IN Cincinnati
and Philsdelphia. In Baltimore the public
feeling is more calm, but it is because they
know there is no use in excitement there
Clay carried every county in Maryland except
Baltimore, and they know tina, Taylor will
carry the State by much larger vote. In
fine, all is well. and Gen Taylor will be next
President by an overwhelming vote.
We predict that the electoral vote will
