From the Nashville Wing, Jan. 4.
GENERAL TAYLOR AND THE
PRESIDENCY.

Attempts having been made in certain
quarters to produce the impression that
Gen. Taylor eagerly desired and might be
induced to avithdra,0 his name as candi-
date for tie Presidency, an .tavor of some
other iadiriiual, it is alike due to him and
his numerous friends that his position on
that point should be made known. This il
is in our power 10 do. on the most unuues.
tionable authority. Within the las, TWEEN.
ty-four hours we have received a letter
from distinguished gentlemen from New
Orleans, whose means of knowing Gen.
Taylor's views and intentions on the snb.
Jet Of his candidacy for the Presidency.
are second to those of no other person in
Union. The letter in fact, is devoted TO
that very subject, and was written express.
ly to acquaint the friends of Gen. TAYLOR
in this quarter with the exact position he
occupies and intends to maintain in regard
to the Presidency.
The writer says:
"No earthly power short of the people, who
have presented his Gen. Taylor'sl name for the
Presidency can induce him TO Withdraw it. In
erned by good sense, sound principles, and high
honor"
1t seems that Gen. Taylor has received
various letters on the subiect--some of
them anonymous-to one of which he re-
piled in substance, "that he had no agency
in bringing forward his name, and would
have none in Withdrawing il; that if the
people chose to drop him, very well, but
until that was done by them, he should not
interfere one way or the other; that if he
were TO withdraw in favor of any other
man, he might subject himself to the impu.
tation of assuming to dictate to the people
bring rdicule upon himself, and do the in.
dividual no good"
Such is Gen. Taylor's position as defined
by himself since his return home. He
stands pledged to the people of the United
States to serve them as President, if they
wish him to do so. He cannot in Justice to
them or himself, Withdraw from the candi.
dacy, unless they should clearly and unmis.
takably manifest desire that he should do
il. He who believes that the people either
feel, or are going TO manifest any such de
sire, must be indeed blind to all "the SIGNS
of the times" Recent intelligence from
Washington of the most reliable character,
assures us that Gen. Taylor is not only the
preferred candidate of the great mass of
the wings Of the entire south, but that some
of the most distinguished and influential
leaders of the party in New Jersey Penn.
syvania, New York, and the Eastern
States are taking decided ground for him,
as the man, above all others, upon whom
he wings ought to rally at the next Presi.
dental election. That sentiment already
universal at the South, is spreading so rap
idly and widely in the Eastern and Middle
States, that there is now not the slightest

Mr. pE4rcE, of Maryland, took the floor,
and opposed the grounds assumed by Mr.. REV

order for the mach OF the troops to the Rio
