Having, ss a Journalist been one al the earliest,
and the least ffcl~nt lnstrumsn nj. Ia coairi-
buiing To The election Of General Taylor, we took
the earliest opportunity after the result Was sscer-
tanned, TO point out To hun the precise posiuoa
which we intended 10 assume towards hin per-
sonally, and towards his administration, during his
tenn VI Office. That position is expressed ia the
letter addressed to him, now gwen, and u ind--
pendent, plain, confident, and fearless. In the
purposes Of General Taylor, his motives, and his
views, we have, ard always had, perfect re-
lance; but from his in-xpericuce IN public
life, and in civil affairs, he had To d~I~nd
on the advice Of others. Towards those Others
we have always intended to be perfectly Just aud
impartial, but by means their biologists without
reason, or their puilers without principle. Gen.
Taylor himself, with that fine csmmon-sease in
.iinct which he possesses, Understood these views
and purposes, and, before he lest Baton Roogr,
transmitted letter to US, from which the following
is the principal extrsct;-
