List week, wc published a letter from

Gen. Taylor, defining more fully his position

before the people as one of llie candidates

for Ihe Prcsidenc}—a letter which wc think

will be heurtilv nubscribcd to and endorsed by

very respccloble majori'y of American

freemen. The old hero hos been miserably

misrepresented, and ho has pul himself right

with

plain straight forward frankness anil

honesty which will be universally admired, for such things are not common o( lute yctirs

in scrambles for political preferment.

It will be seen that he intends to go

through the canvass as he entered it, and if elected, to administer our national a flaiis un

der lho const 1111 io.if iifer (lie manner of the

earlier Presidents, making qualifications,

honesty and putiiotisin thu tests in appointments or removal*, instead of a blind sillier-

once to party drill and party services. Who

will not admire the sagacity of Gun. Tuylor

on the Rio Grande, when he was first nam

ed in connection with the highest office in

the JJnion, in the course he took not to alien

ate a single soldier fiont his side, while they

were in front of common enemy and suc

cess depended so much upon harmony an,I

confidcncc? Commanding whigs and dem

ocrats on whom he must rely to maintain the honor of his counity'a flap, all will see the

•ery great propriety of his course, and al

though known in the army as a thorough

whig, (for he had no concealments.) he frank

ly told those around him, that if his name were brought forward, it must be as the candidate of the whole people, regardless of the

paiticular party therein

the exclusion of all others. IIo knew thai to accept "parly nomination there, woul.l estrange ono half of bisar-

mfi ond for the waul of union the very next

battle field would have witnessed the over throw of the very men he could and did make invincible, as the facts fiitce amply pTcved.

Taylor has shown as much generalship in this

BS in any of bis battles, and his course taken

as a

whole, indicates the possession of tal-

eiUs which our people should secure to add

furtner honor to our common country. The late letter of Gen Taylor taken in con

nection with the fust one ha addressed to

Capt. Allison, presents a "plotform" upon which all can stand—a platform that will upbold every republican who prefers country to parly, or the interests of the whSle people

to the t.-mporaiy succcss of a mere party on

ly. We hail it as an omen of good, for we

think our countrymen are not yet so lost

justice ss to prefer party succcss at the prob

able sacrifice of our country's good. Democrats and whigs must now believe that Tay

lor is honest, qualified, and true to the consti tutian, and that his election will cement the

bonds of our union more than the success of any partisan. His entire freedom from the

party feuds of the d«y leaves him untrammcl-

the times. He has over-ridden party despot

ism and now exhibits the moral grandeur ol

an American Republican in tho time of high

party cxciicmen', snatching the constitution from ruthless hands and preserving and de

fending it, or losing his OUJI political life iu

the patriotic effort.

No one for a moment could have doubled

Gen. Taylor'a success in this contest, had he

pinned his faith exclusively to the skir's of cither tho whig or democrat panic*, but now

fcinco he has risen superior to both and plant

ed himself upon bis country and her glori

ous institutions, will his countrymen desert hina For one we shall net believe it.—

Though he has led his countrymen to battle I |j

aud to victory in foreign climes, wc think a

higher destiny twain him *t home, and thai

he will ultimately close a civil life with

orr

much honor to the whole country as his roil- j,j quarter.

j*l Latterly the particular Jriends of Mr. Clay tn the city of New York have had what they

publish as an enthusiastic meeting, in which

Mr Clay was nominated for the Presidency,

adding to the ticket, MILLARD FILLMORE, ihe

present whig candidate for the Vice Presi•dmcy, Tneir enthusiasm was doomed t» a

•short life, for as soon as the matter came to

Uie ears of Mr. Clay lie published his entire disa{»probation of the movement as follows:

LOUISVILLE CODHIEB OFFICE, •Sept. 18, 1818.

Mr. CLAY has authorized ihe publication of a paragraph, in which he say*, tb.it, while he feels deep'y and gratefully effected by the desire to huh nu^y

any further use .shall be mtrde ol bis oawe in connexion with that ofTicc. Of coursc this is precisely what might hare been expected from Mr. CUy, and his indis* creet friends in New Yoik may consider themselves rebuked for their folly. Mr. Clay is not Van Burm, nor of that school which must rule or ruin." The whole country had confidence that when he submitted his name to the Philadelphia convention, he would be the last man to repudiate its de

cision. It is to be hoped that the New York whigs will now abandon their offuhticss, and come heartily to the support of the hig nominees,

for it is very certain that Taylor or Cass'

must be the next President, ond between

these two, no whig can fur a moment hesi-| ti .u .. edgements were especially one tote. They oweallegiance to their country, a a a ic th. ir principles, and to their fairly norni-,

all hese, the stripes they will hereafter re

ceive ill be Ihe just reward of iheirown ill advised and reckless acts.

dinner was given him Usl eve

ning by a few gentlemen at the Astor House, over hich Philip Hone, Esq. presided. Among the other guests were Mr. Meredith and Mr. Kennedy, of Baltimore, the Ion. Mr. (C'd.) Haskf-l', of Tenn., nnd Hon. Mr. Doniull, of N. C. —At the dinner were severaftlisiinguished merchants, bankers, who had assembled there to do hnor to the br »ve.

As this dinner was in some degree private, we shall go no further than to report in substance, and from memory, the remarks of Col. Bragg. Mr. Hone toasted l.im as Capt. Bragg, being belter known by that than any other name.—"A little more grape Capt. Bragg,"-—and alluded at length to the brill.ant service of the flying artillery at Buena Vist*.

Col. Bragg modestly rising, and in some embarrassment said, it was well known, that he was only a soldier, and that therefore no fitting speech could be expected from him in reply. For whatever merit gentlemen choose to award him or whatever reputation, if any lie hail undeservedly, the whole of it was due the gallant General under whom he served, and to the soldiers in the service he commanded nay more, for the brilliancy of of that service, he was indebted to the lamented Ringgold and Ridgely, from whose hand he had received the corps, in that full efficiency that enabled it to immortalize s^-1/ on the perilous and bloody field of Buena Vista.
