The NEW YORK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on THE

The NEW YORK ELEcrIoN-TRRMBLrra or THE
TEAPOT CABINET The Republic newspaper, the
organ ofthe teapot cabinet at Washington, had a
long article on Wednesday last, on New York
politics. From the tenor of its remarks we should
say that the cabinet fear the coming election in
this State will result in disastrous defeat of the
wings. The result, it says, will be, to great
extent, can index to the popularity of General
Taylor" We disagree with the Republic in its
view of the matter. The popularity of General
Taylor was not an issue in the elections which
have taken place since his election to the Presi-
dency, nor will our election turn on that point.
General Taylor is as popular with the American
people as he ever was--he is as much esteemed, re-
spected, and, we may add, beloved, by the Ameri-
can people, as he ever was But we will inform the
Republic what was the issue in those elections,
and what will be the issue the election soon to
take place in this State 1t is the policy pursued
by General Taylor's cabinet, foreign and domestic,
and no effort of the cabinet, supported by the
Republic, to identify General Taylor with that
policy, or to hang TO the skirts of his popularity
will succeed. The people of New York, and other
States, can discriminate between General Taylor
and his cabinet and they will do so. When they
gave their SURFACES to the old hero they knew he
was unacquainted " it'll the details Of government
business, and when he called his cabinet advisers
together, that he placed his pledges and letters
before them as guide in administering the affairs
of government. They know too, that both have
been grossly disregarded and violated by the cab-
net and if the people of Pennsylvania and other
States have condemned and rebuked their conduct
and their policy, the cabinet may rest satisfied that
,ha &c N.,v Nort will do Ikpv Va
were the first journalist in the country to nominate
General Taylor, and 10 advocate his election. We
supported HIM all through, and will continue to do
so but the spirit which animated us in that course
will not sanction the base manner in which he has
been betrayed by the present teapot cabinet, or al
low us to support the cabinet the policy which
they have thought proper to pursue since their ac-
cesson to Office. While we denounce the cabinet
and its policy, shallcontlnue to support General
Taylor, and, at the same time, prevent any trlckery
by MIR. Clayton and his associates, his organs,
to identify their policy with General Taylor, or to
put the old hero's popularity in question, IN any
State election, from succeeding, as tar as we can
do so. Nor do we suppose for a moment, that any
such trckery will avail The cabinet. The people
Of the United States rapidly arriving at the
clusion that the present cabinet cannot conduct
the affairs Of this great country in proper man
ner, or according to their wishes, and they will not
cease until it is disbanded and better and more
competent men placed in their stead. II Mr.. Clay
ton and his associates are gifted with any sagacty,
they can read their fate in the elections which have
taken place recently in Pennsy lvania and other
States, and they will be confirmed IN what we say
when our Nav York election shall have taken
place.
