Gen. TayIOr's Posllion.

Soon after the adjournment Of the Philadelphia
Convention, il was announced that letter had
hcen addressed 10 Gen. Taylor by several gentle.
men Of the city of Baltimore, constituting com.
mittee of the Independent Party Of. the state Of
Maryland, in relation to some statements which
were reported TO have been made by Judge Saun-
ders 10 the Convention at Philadelphia. The an-
swer from Gen. Taylor was soon after received,
and read at subsequent meeting Of the Consen-
ton Of the Independents, whereupon their ticket
was withdrawn, aud the party dissolved. Gen.
Taylor authorized tho letter to be shown to oil
persons who might be interested in IT, but for Tca.
sons specified requested that il should no, be pub.
lished; it was therefore committed to the hand.
of one Of the gentlemen who had taken pant in
the independent movement
But the par,izans of Gen. Cass are untiring in
their efforts to produce impressions unfasorable to
Gen. Taylor's known disinterestcdness, candor
and independence. Indulging hi. disposition, the
Locofoco papers have no. ceased to harp upon
the request made not to publish the letter, as an
attempt to keep from the knowledge of the poo
pie something Of greatpublc importance. A, the
hes, means Of defeating this design Of his political
enemies, Gen. Tay lor was written 10 and asked
to authorize The publication of his letter. The
correspondence connected with the publication
and the letter. are given below. The letter speaks
for itself, and instead Of operating to his prejudice,
its publication will, to use the words of the Ba-
more Patriot, q" strengthen the hold which his pub
lie service, his high character, his disin,erested
patriotism, dignicd frankness and sterling hone,-
" have given him upon the esteem and confidence
Of the whole people"

Gen. Taylnr's military exploits are not
the causes If his popularity /: they are on.
Nv the occasions for the display Of his
soun Judgment. energy of character. lofty
and pure sense Of justice, and incorrupIl-
bic honesty. He has as murh regulations
for what lie has written, az for what he
has done, because, even il the conposi-
lion is na his own, the sentiments, mo-
tires, and feelings are his, and every thing
he SAYS, as every thing he does, is mark
ed by the purity aud greatness Of his own
character.
remember that YOU asked me at the
time he was put in command at Corpus
Christi, whether he was equal to the cir
cumsiances fold you. in reply, of his
sound judgment and inexhauslible ener-
gy, as learned them in Florida, but did
no, then properly estimate the other al.
higher points Of his character. In the
campairn on the Rio Grande, | saw him
tried under all circumstances, aud he al
ways came out pure gold.
As soon as Gen. Taylor was furnished
by events with opportunity 10 display his
character. you see that il WAS al once pro-
petly estimated; and come back TO the
proposition started with. that The people
will always properly measure great men.
do not say that they will always reward
them properly. for they cannot always
give diree, expression 10 their feelings,
and The least worthy may have the vote
