NATCHEz, Nov. Is, 1848.

Hon. A. G. Browr-Dear Sir-As all par
ties concede that Gen. Taylor is elected Pres-
dent, hasten to inform you that he has thrown
off all disguise, and conceals no opinion.
S. s. Boyd, whom you know to be radical
on the slavery question, and who often says
that Stephens position as absurd, called Bing-
ham and myself one side yesterday, and told
US that "he had that day spent some hours
with Gen. Taylor, and that he was right on all
the points, and, without speaking Of the terri
tories, the old gentleman distinctly and ear
nestly declared that when the North attempted
to interfere with the slave question, he was
for drawing the sarord and hrowlng array
the ScabbaTd."
About this, Boyd says there is no mistake,
and he does not hesitate 10 pronounce cod
lack" perfectly sound. Of all this you may
rest assured. What change other influences
may make in his mind, | cannot say, but his
Southern friends, who hear him talk on the
subject, say he is not the man to give up an
opinion deliberately formed.
He will go with the free States on the tariff
and internal improvement questions, and with
the slave States on the Free Soil question.
Yours truly, F. L. CLAIBORNE.
