General Tayior's Letter.
We give 10 our paper to day. the letter Of GrS.
TAYLOR to II. A. MuuLrSnIRG, Esq the Prssi' !
dent of the Democratic Taylor State Convention
which met in Harrisburg on the Anniversary OF
the Battle and victory of Monterey, in answer /
TO letter Of Mr.. Muhlrnburg covering copy Of
the proceedings OF that Convention.
This letter. like all the authentic letters ofOld
Rough and Ready which we have seem is open'
frank and directly to the point; jus: such asa
warm hearted patriotic and honest man would be
| likely TO write, and similar in style to their
I model dispatches Of the O'd Hero. There have
been several letters published over Gen Taylor's
name which are in style and sentiment so utter.
| " unlike the one now before US, or any Others
| known to be genuine, that we never believed they
were written or authorized by Gen Taylor and
! Fever published them.--The last Of these is the
one not yet published said to have been received
| by Mr. Ineersoli in answer to one never written
by him.
The public must not be surprised at hearing
all sorts Of sentiments ard opinions attributed to
Gea. Taylor, il was 90 with Gen. Jackson. Gen
Taylor is the candidate OF the people and not Of
political wire pullers-hs mus; not. therefore,
expect to escape the eensurs and ISLANDERS ofthose
who desire that the people shall merely do the
voting a. they may direct. and never dare to say
in advsne. Of ruppes con venton, who shall be
their candidate.
