were then good These reasons no longer existing,
and there being fair prospect of his being at his

GEN. TAYLOR'S POSITION.

In the late WING National Convention. Mr.
Saunders. Of La. read the following statement
made by the Louisiana delegation in reference to
the politics of General Taylor
The position occupied by Gen. TAYLOR. in rela-
ton to the Presidency, does not seem 10 be cor
Tecily understood by many persons and for that rea
son, it is deemedproper by the delegation of Lon
isiana, to make such explanations and statements,
IN relation to that position, may effecually re-
move all doubt and the effect of
on that point.
Gen. Taylor has taken no part in bringing his
name before the American people, in connection
with the Presidency, nor does he present his name
to this Convention, as candidate His friends
throughout the country, rather discouraged than
encouraged by him, have placed him prominently
before the Nation, as worthy of filling the place
once occupied by the Father of his country, and
Gen Taylor, from sense of duty, has assented to
the nomination.
He considered himself in the hands of friends
who have honored him with their choice He has
publicly and repeatedly stated that thew MIGHT
withdraw him whenever they thought the inter
ests of the country, in their opinion required it.
He does not consider that under the circumstan-
ces in which his name has been brought forward
that 1t would be proper in him TO Withdraw himself
ouch has been his position since he assenfed to
the use OF his name, subsequent to the capture of
Monterey, aud such IS his position no,c
On behalf of the delegation of Louisiana. will
further state that Gen. Taylor desires it to be I'm
derstood that, in his opinion, his friends who came
into this Convention bound to abide by its deci-
sion, and TO sustain the nominee "heart and so,I'
that Gen. Taylor recognises in his friends in this
Convention, those who have the right to withdraw
his name, and will cheerfuly acquiesce in such
withdrawal.
Gen. Taylor, we are also authorized TO say, will
hail with entire satisfaction the nomination bv the
Convention of any other than himself, being per
suaded that the welfare Of our country requires 4
change of men and measures. in order to avert the
downward tendency of our National affairs.
In making this announcement, the delegation of
Louisiana wish it to be distinctly understood that
IT involves no Inconsistency the part Of General
Taylor.
In case the choice Of this Convention shall fall
on another than Gen. Taylor, and his friends in
this Convention withdraw him. it will be their act
not his but in which he will cheerGuIy acquesce
and by the act Of uniting with this Convention.
his friends withdrew his name from the canvass.
unless he be the nominee of the Convention.
And we deem il proper to assure the Wings of
the Union that we desire the nomination Of Gen.
Taylor and his elevation to the Presidency on no
other than broad National grounds.
