The ClnrksvilIc Letter.

The following letter addressed to General Taylor by
differs but little from the to Dr. Delony. The Carks
vile Jeersonan says. that the letter to which Gen. Tay
lors is reply contained series of resolutions embodyng
the principles upon whctsthe meeting wished to know
the Generals opinions The first resolution expressed
settled hostility national bank, and belief that such
an institution is not only unconstitutional, but highly in
expedient The second referred to the subject.
The third resolution declared in favor of the Independent
treasury, and the separation of bank and State. The
fourth declared against tariff for protection the fifth
against the distribution of the proceeds of sales OF the
public lands and the sixth against the policy OF internal
improvements by the general government. The seventh
expressed the belief in the right of Texas an inde
pendent sovereignty itself to the United States,
and the obligation imposed upon after the act OF an
nexaton, protect her territory. Then came preamble
which alluded to the movement which had been made by
the wing party in favor of Gen Taylor, and took the
ground, without qualification, that the democratic party
could not support any whose principles were not
well defined and wholly and entirely democratic. Then
followed the resolution nsucting the officers OF the
committee to address letter to Gen Taylor, touching his
opinions upon the several matters referred to in the
utons Another resolution fully endorsed the Of
the present administration, and congratulated the people
upon the prosperity of the country under democratic rule
1t will be seen that General Taylor declines replying to
any of these questions He declares that he is poti

subjects embraced in the resolutions to be able to
