MEssRs. EpIToRs: 1t has panied me TO see, in the
Z" Union of this city, continued efforts made to
caricature the addresses OF General Taylor, IN re-
Spouse to the enthusiastic welcome he experiences
from the throngs of American citizens that greet
him at every stopping place No one at all familiar
with that paper will deny that studied efforts have
been made therein to injure the character and
standing Of the President of the United States, by
rdcule from the most abored editorial, to the obi
Gus and disgusting correspondence which occupies
80 great space in its columns, but of character
degrading and humiliating. Where the real mer-
It's of the Union are known, its defamation is harm
less. The unhealthy, fostering character OF its
readings have caused it to be summed by the good
and of no credit with the bad. As distant papers,
however, eagerly copy the accounts OF General
Taylor's speeches. which the versions of preiu-
diced men pandering TO the taste of their employers
! think il proper TO say, that have before me a
letter from friend sojournng at Bedford, giving
account of the speech OF General Taylor at the
SPRINGS, in answer to one from the Rev and ycnc-
rabe Dr. Brown, president Of jefferson College,
who appeared in behalf of the CLERGY To testify to
their admiration of his private character and pub
lie worth. Although such greeting and compli-
ment was novel and unexpected, IL found General
TAYLOR not rough" but ready" His response Is
represented as complimentary the head and heart
of its author being filled with Just thoughts, couched
in the most beautiful and appropriate language,
and uttered with a felicity Of manner in the cx-
precision, that would have done honor % the most
Accomplished orator. My correspondent never be-
fore saw General Taylor, but he is gentleman OF
intelligence and good judgment, and his statement
goes 10 show that if " General Taylor not used
10 making speeches" in that, as in every thing
else hc undertakes he improves rapidly and is sure to
arrive at distinguished emnence The public SER
vices of General Taylor have elevated him among
the HEROES Of this land, his private virtues have
elected the admiration of the good, his ability the
reverence and respect of the people, and all com
bined and nicely balanced have secured for him
the trust and support of the American peope-false-
hood cannot lessen the one, detracton destroy con
fdcncc in the other, caricaiurc diminish his
ability the affections of people who have cK-
perenccd the benefit of the first, conded in the sec
ond, and rest their hopes in the last. VlNDEN.
