Ssing in late Baltimore Sun an article stating that
Latte, attributed to Gen Taylor, concerning the present OF
horse, turns out to be forgery addressed our
elves to The editors OF that paper for the authority
,bich rests The assertion They politely enclosed us
on Friday night extracts clipped from the North Amer
can and the New Orleans Bulletin which in the hurry
bry OF the returns OF the election had escaped
zee Better late however than never Justice, thong b
ae is due to Gen. Taylor Having time since
rubished the letter from the New Orleans papers, we
think it due 10 him to republish, in the words of the
North American
letter Wa extensively circulated time back,
uporting to be from Gen. Taylor and returning thanks
o the resent OF horse, which il out man
fac.nred for the purpose of producing injurious impress
inns against him account OF IFS faulty composition
This pTecous document originated in one OF the armed
,,al, known as the Ne,o Orleans Delta and although
M aper recently admitted be forgery no, of the
1890 sheets which gave it currency has had the com
honesty to make the correction demanded by truth and
Justice"
We state with the most perfect confidence, that we
never saw the explanatory article in the New Orleans
Delta at all-nor the in the North American until
Friday night; and we lay it before our readers a
simple act Of justice 10 General Taylor. We have no
hesitation in saying that IT trick utterly unworthy
n pape which is conducted with much talent as the
Dslta II is bound explain under what circumstances
,bs forged letter found its way into its columns; and 1t
. also bound to explain why it was, when it discovered
that the article circulating genuine paper, and
oneng against General Taylor, it did not confess the
fcion and arrest its circulation.
The other letter. which originally appeared in the
Union. and is now asserted by the New Orleans Bulletin
10 be forgery has been transmitted by us to the Bulletin
office for the inspection of Gen. Taylor himself If the
Bulletin had stamped forgery upon the alleged au
boity OF Gen T himself, we should have repubished
IN. article at once and made the amende honorable far
a. was in our power We shall wait the answer from
New Orleans and pledge ourselves publish it, in sub
stance or in detail Meantime, some ground OF lusti
fcaon for our having originally published the article,
coming as il did from a known man, and with all the
collateral circumstances of the Baton Rouge mark to
confirm its Authenticity lay before readers the
following extract from the New Brunswick New Jersey
Times Of Wedne sday last The Times appears to be
one of the "free- soil" papers:
