Gen. Taylor began to receive nominations for the Pres- idency. Dazzled by his brilliant successes in Mexico, the fruits of a high or- der of military talent, his correspondence with the Government, which alone would have rendered any civilian conspicuous, and entertaining a profound re- spect for his character for hotiesty, moderation and hutnanity, persons and par- ties, of widely diftcrent opinions in all parts of the country, solicited his accept- ance of their nominations for the Presidency.... Gen. Taylor being but little ac- quainted with the organization of parties, and observing that these nominations were confined to neither of the great political parties, exclusively, conceived it possible, and desired if his name were to be used in connection with the Presi- dency at all, that his nomination >hould come directly from the people without the aid of party conventions. With this view, he used the following language in his letter to Peter Sken Smith : 1 do not desire the Presidency, and only yield thus far my assent, to be considered a candidate in the same proportion in which it is desired by the people, irrespective of party.
