Gen TAYLoR's PosIrIoN-In reference to the
declaration of Gen. Taylor, that he would himself
have no agency in the withdrawal of his name,

Seen. Taylor has not declared, or proclaimed
that he will be a candidate for the Presidency.
whether rho. He has not said that his name shall
not be withdrawn, should the Wing National Con-
ventlon nominate Mr.. Clay, or any other good
wing. for the Presidency. He has said that he
entertained no intention of Withdrawing it himself
-WLy? Because he had taken no part in placing
his name before the public, for that high Office
His friends, who had done it, would act in the mat
ter-wlthdraw ii or not--he left it with them If
they decided to withdraw it, he would acqIiesce
with pleasure! Is this bidding defiance TO Mr.
Clay, and declaring that his name should not be
withdrawn? No, and they who assert it, do gross,
medi'aed injustice TO honest old Zachary Taylor!
1t he is not nominated by he Convention, his name
will then be withdrawn by his friends. This is
''fXed fact" If he is nominated, he will take
the field, and beat his opponent, as he did Santa
Anna at Buena Vista"

THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
@ New Orleans Crescent of the 10Th instant

says:
'.Ihe Court of Inquiry called by General Pillow
IN this city concluded its investigations Yesterday.
The doors were closed to the public. The Presi-
dent assigned as reason for this that there were
but two or three witnesses to be examined and that
no Information of Importance would be elicited-
Mr.. A. Walker and Mr.. John Maginness, of the
Delta, were the principal witnesses. Mr.. A. Walk
er, we understand, affirmed that the interlineaons
and erasures in the famous sLeonidas' letter were
made by himself. This was the gist of the whole
matter; and when the Court adjourned, General
Pillow appeared highly gratified."
We are at loss 10 understand why General
Pillow should be gratifed ut Mr. Walkers state
ment, that he made the interlineations. For it
will be remembered that his witness -in-chef Mai.
Burns. was so eager to acquit General Pillow, that
he testified very strongly 10 making these interim
cations himself. Differences in hand writing and
the color of ink ne readily explained, by his faci-
ty in chircgraphy and his writing at different times

ced by some msgiving that the Court might not
