GEN. TAYLOR AND the Presidency
There has prevailed an idea among many
citizens of our country that Gen. Taylor
would resign being candidate for the Presi-
dcncv, and name the person he would most
like to see elevated to that high office. Gen.
TAYLOR is aware that such an impression
prevails, and we have the best authority for
saving that he states, most explicitly, that,
although not an aspirant for that high office,
he is not willing to compromise his ndePen-
dent position by entering the arena rs a
partizan. which he would at once become
by avowlng himself in favor OF any dis,in-
