General Taylor's Sense of Delicacy.

affair


The Committee on the Gaphin claim make the follow
ing statement Of General Tayors connexion with that
affair
On the 9th Of May, Governor Crawford addressed
municaon the committees informing them that he de-
sired OF his with the President in
March, 1850 From this statement appears that in the
conversation the President had the impression, from
the first conversation that the claim was before Congress-
although, this. his memory indsnc the matter
having from his mind until the claim attracted pub

the claim had been allowed by Congress. and pending

had been informed how he could have given any other
opinion had given that being the head Of the
War Department. and agent Of the claimants did not de
prve him Of the rights he may have had as such agent
would have justified him In having the examination and
decision Of the claim by the Secretary Of the Treasury sns
pended The President added that in his opinion II the
claim just one, under the law OF Congress should
have been paid who the parties interested
this due the credit and good faith OF
the government.
From this statement appears that Gen. Taylor was
aware of the fact that Mr. Secretary Crawford the
agent for the Gaphin claim, and that he impo-
priey indecacy in the relations in which he stood
both the claim and the government, holding as he did
high and influential Office under the latter. This very
fact shows how incorrectly Gen. Taylor appreciates the
deicacy and purity Of the relation existing between
high officer and the government which he What
would be the consequence If all public officers should
become agents for prosecuting claims against the govern

Is any more proof wanting to show the unness OF Gen
Taylor for the position in which the people, in an unfor-

right to expect higher sense Of the purity and deli
