GEN. TAYLoR,s AecEpTANcE,.


We find in the Charleston. Courier of Friday last
Gen. Taylors reply to Coy. Morehead, accepting the
Wing nomination for the Presidency; and knowing
the general anxiety which prevails upon the subject
we hasten to lay the correspondence before our read
ers. 'i'-'' 20 s'- +.S5-- a@ ;." e. -
Gen. Taylor, it will be seen, has been nominated
by Whigs, Wing, and he accepts as Whig
but he says nothing about his immutable" position
In regard to parties does he tell the President
OF the Wing Convention, as he has uniformly told
others, that he can sexpress' no sentiment hay
ing the nature of pledge any political party'
Neither does he deem it convenient or necessary to
repeat what he emphatically declared to Dr. Bron-
son, that he could not any permit himself
to be brought before the people erctsuey by any
OF the political parties that 1nfortunately di-
vide the country On the contrary he accepts as
Wing Whig nomnation-he is the candidate
g erclusipeI' of the Whig party; and that too in
thetace of his own solemn declarations that he would
not be that too after he had spoken of the very
lstence OF the Whig party as a misfortune! Oh am
bition!
. But where are his g personal' opinions He in
imated that he would declare them after the war was
over-why is he silent? He e'shrinks from no
responsibility - and yet not the first in Amer-
Ca can tell, with any sort of accuracy, what political
principles he holds! But we have no room,for COM
ments to-day. Here is the Correspondence: ''
' .Acceptance Of Gen. Taylor. We are indebted to
the attention of the editors of the New Orleans Bull
letln, for the correspondence swhich follows-fer-
warded us in advance of the publication Of that pa
Per-announcing the acceptance of Gen. Taylor of
the nomination President of the United States by

~ GEN. TAYLoR'S ACCEPTANCE. ,"
| In consequence of the delay which has attended
the receipt of Gov Moreheads letter. and the gener-
al anxiety that is felt the subject, the following
correspondence is laid before the public in anticpa-
ton Of its official publication. -,.i .... 80 ....C
The letter to Gov, Morehead went forward by the
mail of the 18th and will therefore probably appear
at the North, before this reaches there.
