TuE OrfIoIAL OReAS.-R Report says that the
Cabinet have by the casting vote of the President,
selected the Globe the official organ Of the Gov
eminent. The following "dolefG sound from the
Madisonian, confirms the report. The Tylerites
fought for pay, and pay alone and we rejoice that
they are like 10 get their deserts.
Startling Rumors. see it stated in
many OF our exchanges, and hear il every
where in the streets, that most sanguinary
course isto be pursued by the present admins
.traiinn towards the friends Of the late admins
taiion. We even hear il said that a number
Of true Republicans have already been dismiss
ed from Office, merely because they were not
hostile 10 Mr. Tyler's administration, and not
withstanding their support Of the presentin-
cumbent Of The Presidential chair.
We hope there is no foundation for these
rumors. We hope such will not be the policy
Of Mr. Polk When we did the utmost in our
power TO rally the friends Of Mr. Tyler 10 the
support Of Mr. Polk, we did so with The expect
alton and assurance that they would not be
made the special objects Of persecution and
prescription in return for their friendly exer-
lions. And we did not hesitate TO pledge our
friends, that their services would be appreciat-
ed, and their friendship recprocated,
We repeat, that we trust there Is no truth
| In the rumors referred to. They do not accord
with the solemn declarations and pledges of Mi
Polk since his election. We shall await fur

A correspondent, in reference 10 the testimo-
ny OF Rhoda Davidson upon the trial Of Mr.
Fairchild, writes US as follows. We have not
before seen the statement made by him, and If
what is here said be true, il is due that an in
jured man should be vindicated. While we
have no charity for the guilty we ought to have
some regard Tor the reputation Of that class Of
men who, perhaps, ars as likely to be wronged
and sometimes more SO, rs any other class of
men. Our correspondent says fl
awhile reading the testimony referred 10,
and contrasting ii with the former evidence Of
Rhoda Davidson, was deeply impressed with
the danger OF trusting TO such testimony, and
another case Of similar character presented it,
self TO my mind, as forcibly illustrating this
point.
You will remember that the Rev Mr. Van
Zandt, Of Rochester, was found guilty BY the
civil, and acquitted by the ecclesiastical, tribu-
nal, on the charge OF seduction, and heavy
verdict OF damages was rendered against him.
Passing through Rochester recently | was
credibly informed that the seduced girl, who
was said TO be commitment Of the church ct
that time, is again eneienfe, and lays the
charge of this as well as the former child, up
on married man Of said city, who has left his
wife and family and gone TO parts unknown.
The girl has been instigated TO make the charge
upon the Rev Mr. Van Zandt by this very in
dividual, which the deluded girl now confesses
