Albany, August 31, 1848.
Mr. Fillmore has received a letter of congratulation from General Taylor. I learned its contents from a friend. Taylor says he has no doubt the name of Fillmore will prove a tower of strength to the whig cause in the Northern States. He expresses gratification at being associated upon the ticket with a man so distinguished as Fillmore, and says, also, that he does not doubt but the dissensions in the democratic party of New York will give that State to the whigs. Fillmore has replied.
