1t was 4 communication written by iho

the expressions and sentiments Of General

that Gen. Taylor had taken no part in
bringing his name .fefnre tho American
people. His friends thrnushout the Uuioh
had placed him prominently before the
people, as a candidate for the high Office
that was ouce held by the Father OF his
Country" Under these circumstances,
Gen. Taylor considered himself in tho
hands OF his friends, to be dealt with as
they, n,h he, should decide 10 he proper
and from The circumstances with which he
had been brought forward, be did not think
Ire WIS OF liberty TO Withdraw himself, uc-
der any contingency. IIn hal not sought
the office. he would moi affect to decline
il. The document then went on to say
that Gen. Taylur wished it to be under-
Stood that in his opinion, his friends who
took par, in the proceedings of the Con-,
venri"n oGghl 10 aoDle by the decision and
will Of The Convention, and 10 sustain The
nomination Of the Convention.
The written statement ofthe Louisiana
delegation wenl on to say, That Gen. Tays
Tor was impressed with lhe necessity Of
changing the policy which had BEEN pur-
sued by the Government, aud Of stopping
The country in lis downward career. Ii
was then stated that The friends of General
Taylor in the Convention would abide by
its decision. and would feel themselves sa-
tisfied in withdrawing his name from The
canvass. unless he should be the nominee
Of the Convention.
