TAYLOR to the leaders of his independent friends in
Maryland, also confirming the Peyton statement II
should not be forgotten in this connexion that when the
of Maryland published their card they
stated in substance that, upon the faith OF Gen laylors
repeated pledges, they fully assured that he could
not have authorized the declarations made by the Lousi

All this suspicious and unbecomng mystery, rejecting,

wings and upon the ankness of General Taylor himself
is now cleared up, and has resulted the formal ds-

These confess in substance that they have been

have con,ented ourselves with simply lamenting Butt
having helped mislead others while deceived
ourselves, have felt ii duty undeceve them,
this exposition has gone That done, we shall,
individuals, pursue couse-others will pursue
theirs"
This is all alike lamentable and udicrous In the first
place. we have here a candidate, who through whole
series OF political letters beginning early April,
ls47, and continued down to May, 1885, solemnly de-
clares to individuals, and to public assembages
and political organizations still numerous, and EN-
bracng every shade OF political complexion-Whigs,
Democrats, Natives Independents, and Noparty men
that he has not forward, but that he has been
brought forward as Peoples Candidate" entirely ire
specive OF party disnctons that in this position, he
must and will stand the last that he will not be par
ty man that he will not give any single party pledge
that any party all parties, may nominate him. but that
such nomination be upon their responsibility
and entirely without promise pledge, commitment on
his part to any party doctrines whatever
Next, we see many individuals and public meetings
taking Gen. Taylor at his word, nominating him. press
ing him forward, shouting for him. and pledgng them
selves to him independent candidate, and
organizing anew, to make him, in his Independent
capacity, President of the United States All this is
done in the daylight and during whole twelvemonth
