" that ne Wig CITY COMMITTEE ef Ai5aHy has re-
fused 10 pass resolutions IN foror Of Henry CLAY

A. ,bs House Of Representatives Of the United states
and from my Own personal knowledge. as well as from

we cant say what New York will do in No
vember. but we are confident she will send Tour
Delegates to Philadelphia very hard to be con
vinced that any body but Henry Clay ought to be
onr next candidate. And. when he as nominated

have not published letter from Gen. Taylor to
Secretary Marcy recently brought to light by Con
s-ess. in which Gen T. defends himself with spirit
and success against certain imPutatons cast on
him by the Secretary, based upon the publication
of his Gen I s letter to Gen. Gaines. complain
log Of the treatment be had received from " ash
ingtop -Thst letter, though Of very light public
interest we should certainly have Published, had
it not fret been telegraphed 20 this City for another
| Journal and published by il in advance. Having
thus been made public here we did not think It
worth printing day after the fair and omitted II,
bat the fact Of It's publication and the favorable I'M
| preston it made in Washington were dolly chroni
cled BY Us. We canno, find room for everything
written by men even 80 eminent as Gen. Taylor
especially Tor mere personal indications where
none such was needed. The Courier adds that

No such thing We 10 more denounc, Gen
TAYLOR than we DO Gen. Scott or Gen. Butler. w
only hold that there are oihers-and especial,
ONE other-more deserving OF and better qualified
for the Presidency We no more denounoe hin
than we do all our Twenty Millions OF PeoPl
whom we do not support for the Presidency

We heartily congratulate the Wings on th
