organs of the whig administration at WASH
ington, exulsingly proclaims the umity of
the new Cabinet. It's language Isl
"There has never existed IN this gov
ernment more harmonious Cabinet
The gentlemen who compose it are person-
al friends D.th an entire agreement on all
the great points Of political Jaith." -.
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, the Constitutions
al law adviser of the Cabinet and Execu-
tive, has published his ''points Of political
laith' in relation to Slavery extension,
which, according to- the lnlellgencer, are
acquiesced nby the entire Cabinet, as we'll
as by President Taylor, and which are sur-
fciently indicated by the following extracts
from his published language:
'sWbo will deny that slave labor can be-
proitably employed in working the gold
mines of California? 1t is cheaper, bo-
cause it costs the owner nothing but the
food and clothing of his operatives; and the
negro far excels the white man in capucf.
ly 10 endure exposure to scorching sun
drenching rains, and the hardships peculiar
ly incident TO the business Of mining. = ="
A lurge portion Of odtr Pacific territories
is suited to Slavery; and sciH add that
no kind Of labor ayiH dsuelop so rapidly its
immense resources and prepare at for ths
abode Of enterprise and elerated ciullaza-
ton. LET NOT THE SOUTH LOSE SIGHT OF
THESE FACTS. Let her not be decoyed from
vigience over her rights, or charmed into
Iinsensibi'hy to legslaliAe aggression, by the
rem song that these territories are not a :
, dapted to Slavery. They are adapted to-
: 1T; and if the Sou tn will be united in de
mandipg Justice at the hands of Congress;
! if she will be inmovable in insisting ,has
/ the door of unrestricted emigration from
: wide open; if she will maintain, at all haz-
$ ards, the doctrine of non-intsyference by
!. Congress, THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION
THAT SLAVERY WILL FIND ITS WAY To
| New MEXICO AND CALIFORNIA;; and that
, she will yet reap her share of the fruits Of
5 the common blood and treasure which were
expended in their acquisition .
Mr.. ClaytoD's opinions are well known.
He is the father Of the "Clayton Comprom.
ise,'' which reused the Indignation Of the
whig free soilers last season. He is known
to be opposed to the "ogtators" Of the ter
ritoral slavery question.
The opinions Of Preston and Crawford
, arc as well known. They are both South
ern men, and favorable TO the extension OF
slavery.
The InteHigsncer says the Cabinet are
agreed son all the great points of political
failh.'' Then of course Messrs. Ewing,
: Collamer and Meredith, the three Northern
7 members of the Cabinet must agree with
Clayton, Johnson, &c. We have no doubt
they do. We never doubted but they
would have been exclued from the Cabinet
had they differed from these Southerners.,
The whole administration, then is eminent
Ty southern in their views, Notwithstanding
i Taylor was pledged to be for "freedona and
/, free soil," the "Wilmot proviso'' and "no
d further extension of slavery! Verify, the
e people must love to be humbugged and
: cheated if they ever again put any faith IN
the professions and promises OF whlg poll
a ,icians,-Detroit Free Press.
