"A RooRBAcK ExPLoDED.-We are authorised
10 say that Gen. Taylor has never made the state
inents imputed to him. viz: that he was in favor Of
the Tariff OF '46-of the Sub Treasury-that he O.
riglnated the War with Mexico-nor thai. ifelect-
ed, he would choose his Cabinet from men of both

contradiction OF these reports cannot undo the mis-
taken impressions that have had theiy influence in
the Virginia elections, but they will not be too late
tor the consideration of the Nation.
Our authority is letter from Gen. Taylor in re-
ply to one from us. We shall present the contra
dIciion IN his own words -morrow.--Rich Rep,
