GENERAL r


Gen. Taysor's Cabinet views; the unravel-
ling of which has brought into reqnsilloD,
the ingenuity Of The whole news paper
press, which has been exer,od, however,
without, as yet, The slightest hope of sue
cess. Every paper comes charged with a
full column Of conjec,ures and refined
probabilities as to the members Of The lu-
ture Cabinet; in which prevails most
amusing diversity of opinion-somo ex-
pressing tho belief that Mr.. Cri'lenden,
will he made Secretary Of State, and MIR.
Prenliss, Attorney General; others, that
Mr.. Clayton will be Secretary. and Mr.
Crittcndcn Attorney General; Others, that
Mr.. Clay, has been offered tho post Of
Secretary of State; others, Mr.. Webster;
and so OH almost ud libilum. But after
all the gucsses, and reasonings upon chan
ccs and probabilities, the poin, is not di-
vested of its original uncertainty. We
believe not one member Of The future Cabl-
net is positively known out Of the crclo OF
The inflated. Many we fear are destined
to sad disappointment on the day the
names will be given 10 the public; for nu-
mcrous are the devoted friends, who in
office aud out of Office, expect TO give the
general important aid in The Administrators
of the Government. 1t would no well loi
them. perhaps no, to he too sansuine; for wt
rather suspect the old hero, who has expe
renced little Of the rough and tumble
Of life, intends doing great deal of The
work himself.
A much more impor,an, question for tn
South, Than the filling Of his Cabinet, is
what will be Gen. Taylor's policy in rea
ton 10 the slavery question! We ar
obliged TO admit, that about this, also, lhcr
is much doubt, But from the few hint
we have, we do mol ausnr The most lavo
rable results Tor the South. Ihc Srea
body Of Gen. Taylor's party is, we know
utterly opposed to tho extension of slave
ry; aud unless we be deceived rs to III
import Of language Gen. Taylor himself
will give us no relief against The Wlno
Provso. In lato letter from Balol
Rouge, he writes, "As to the new Terrific
ry, it is now free, and slavery cannot exls
here without a law Of Congress authorizn
it, and that | do mol believe will ever pass
,oa, opposed 10 the acquisition Of m'
Territory, as was also to the acquisitio
of Itr.s. was opposed to the war, an
although jy occupation a warrior, | am
peace man."
There is manifest design in this Ian
guage to avoid the true issue before th
country; but if there is anything in logic

THE SOUTHERN COMMITTEE.
Our readers are aware that MIR. Calhoun
was selected to draught the report Of the South
arm Committee on the course TO be pursued by
tho Southern States in relation 10 tho future
action of Congress, on the subject OF slavery.
By recen, intelligence we learn that the report
has been submitted; and that it "presents mere
" statement of historical facts, showing the
p,ovress of Aboli,iunism, and its injustice 10

sures, and 10 propose nolhing-leaving 10 the
State soveregnties Of the South to suggest the
mode, measure, and time Of redress.
Wha, strikes us, however, with surprise 49,
Tint among Southern Senators and heprescn.
,otiyes, there should be found some, who VIII
not subscribe even to the moderate and dIgnl-
fed course recommended by the Report. Mr.
CLAYTON, Mr. Stephens, MI. Toombs, and OH
ar Whip men,l crs, have made vehement oppo-
s,,ion to the Report 1t is said also' that soma
