GENERAL TAyLoR's LErrERS.-The Charles
ton Mercury of the 29th has the following relative
to the two letters recently published in General
Tayor,s name, and which have been supposed to
be lorgeries. This statement would seem to settle
the question of their genuineness =.
From the following article which we take from
the Baltimore American, a highly respectable Wing
paper, it will be perceived that the extract of a let
ter from General Taylor, which first appeared in
the Evening News Of this city. Is looked upon as a
forgery. We can assure the American that in this
superstition he is mistaken, as we have ourselves
seen the letter from which the extract was taken,
and have not the slightest doubt of its anthem
ticty''
On the subject of the Lippard Letter, the Phila-
delphia Ledger has the following to the same pur-
| port -
The Lippard Letter.-Some of the journals
| in New York are denying the authenticity of the
| letter General Taylor wrote to Mr. Lippard. They
say that 1t first appeared in the Bulletin without
name. This is mistake. 1t was published first
| in the Ledger with a name and from tile original
manuscript, and is an authentic letter with General
IaylOrs genuine signature. There is nothing in it
! 10 warrant the conclusion that the letter is not
genuine. 1t reiterates the sentiments that General
| Taylor has always ayowed, that he is not candi-
date of party"
