I cannot pretend to support him with en-

Yet while I frankly avoiv that I would
do little merely to make Gen. Taylor pres‘-

BATON ROUGE, La., June 19, 1848.

National Convention, held at Philadelphia,
pending the action of that body, by Judge
Saunders, of Louisiana, in the name of
the delegation from that State,ai-id request-
ing to be informed whether such_state-
ments were made by my autliority. I
inform you in reply, that on their way to
‘ that Convention, Judges Winchester and
S-.iunders,o,f the Louisiana delegation, who
have been for many years my personal
friends and neighbors, wrote, requesting
my views before the meeting of the Con-
vention, as to the course I desired my
friends to pursue in that body. In two
communications addressed to them in re-
ply, I informed them in substance that at
my distance from the scene it would ‘be
impossible for me to give any special in-
sti-uctions upon the subject; that many
questions or contingencies might arise
during the action of the Convention, the
character of which I could-not foretell,
and that they must, therefore, assume the
responsibility of acting for me ; that I felt
my honor and interests safe in their hands;
that whatever they should see fit to do, I
F.» would most cordially approve. I sfitbstan
tially informed them further, that unless
they should discover an evident (.lI>'p0Sl-
tion to treat me unfairly, which Iliad no
reason to suppose would be the case, I
thought my friends should go into Con-
vention, as they had been selected by their
fellow-citizens for this purpose, but that
having once entered, they were of course
bound, ifl were not nominated, to sustain
and support the nominee, whoever he
might be; and I hoped they would do so,
heart and soul. That I was a candidate
for the Presidency only so far as my
fiiends had chosen to make me. But hav-
ing been placed in my present attitude
toward that ‘subject, without any agency
or act of my.own, directly or indirectly, I
did not feel myself at liberty, by any such
act, to withdraw myself; that my friends,
-in whose hands I had ever been, could do
so whenever they should see fit; and
finally, if they could succeed in electing
to that ofiice any one better qualified for
its duties than I was, and who at the same
time was honest, trutliful and patriotic, it

since. we heard a young man, about five
feet eight inches high, a little inclined to
“the stooping posture,” who carries a
dark head-gear and has flashing black
eyes—-using "profane language with an
audacious freedom that was too shocking
for any but morally dead men to endure.
Young man, thought we, you are guilty of
“conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow,”

with the penalties of the institution. It
astonislies us how any one can deal irrev-
erently with the august name of their Cre-
ator, and especially any one who profes-
ses to be guided by the genius and spirit
of Odd Fellowship, whose fundamental
maxim is, Love to God. And we confess
it pains us most deeply, whenever we

as follows:
“I see that some of your politicians
doubt, or pretend to doubt, Gen. Taylor’s
orthodoxy. They need not entertain any
fears of that. I see him almost every
day, and he expresses his opinions as freely
as any true Whig could desire. He is
decidedly opposed to the acquisition of
salve territory. Some of the Whigs here
are not pleased with the freedom with
which he expresses his views upon all
subjects, and the Locofocos pronounce

Traveller published a few days ago, an
account ofa person, (apparently a sailor,)
who was found dead in his chair in the

and that no evidence of his residence could
be found on his person. Incredible as it
would seem, there appears to be no doubt
that the fact of his death was discovered
by one of his fellow passengers, who seiz-
ed the occasion to rifle the pockets of the
dcad man of all their contents, among
which was probably the evidence of his
identity. A person was noticed sitting in
close vicinity to the deceased until within
a very short. time of the arrival of the
