GENERAL TAYLOR.

We stated in the Sentinel Of last week that the
army ofthe United States was sent to the Rio
Grande Immediately preceding the outbreak OF
the Mexican War, under the advice of Gen Tay-
Tor. With reference to that statement, the Mid
dlehurv Galaxy asks.-"DOes not the Sentinel
know that this is only an unfair and desperate at
temp; to throw off a most iTksome responsibility
from the administration upon the shoulders of a
brave and generous officer who was almost n VIC
tim of the Presidents madness g" In reply we
shall only rcfrrthc Galaxy to the letter If Gen.
Taylor, written to the War Department in Octo-
Der. lS45, wherein he says:
"If our Government in settling the question of
boundary, make the line of the Rio Grandc an
ultimatum, l cannot doubt that the settlement
will be greatly facilitated and FASTENED by our Ia
king possession at once Of one or two suitable
points on or quite near that river
In what respect were VIC unfair or desperate
But the discussion of this matter at this period
is altogether unnecessary.-[Burlington Senti-
mel.
We agree with the Sentinel that "thc discus
sion Of this matter at present is altogether unnec-
essary"-since it is not n subject for discussion NJ
all, having reference as it does solely to a matter
Of fact. To call the statement which the Senti-
mel endorses 'lptiir' was using the mildest term
that could possibIybc applied to it-and it was an
evidence of some desperation, certainly, to attempt
to shift the responsibility of the movement to the
Rio Grande from President Polk upon a sub
ordinate, who did IN tact, as plainly appears from
the very correspondence referred to, dssaode the
Administration from this act of aggression, in
stead Of GdrisiHg it. The Sentinel must have
d~espaired of finding even an apparent confirme-
ton of its assertions from any other source, before
referring to such evidence as this.
We see also in the last freeman a communica-
ton from somebody signing himself Angus
