The Opinion OF Friend.
As the New York Herald is well known TO be one OF
the first and most efficient advocates of the election of
Gen. Taylor, and is now warm supporter Of the Old
General, think the following view which it takes of
the official conduct and diplomacy OF the cabinet must
be deemed just and impartial When the supporters oil
Gen. Taylor give expression to such opinions in relation
to his administration the democratic press cannot be cen
sred for entertaining and expressing similar views OF the
monarchical tendencies and the laundering incompe
tency Of the cabinet:

In connexion with the above we lay before our readers
the following extract of article from the Philadep ha
Bulletin, which has generally but idolaousy been dis
posed TO support Gen. Taylor and his measures In these
views the bulletin" speaks with some superuous Sc
verify OF M Poussn. We were at some loss to undet
stand what the editor meant by personal Sights, until
looking into the next column Of his paper where find
Washington letter from the New York Herald, which
states that member of NJ. Poussin's family had been
desgnedly omitted in diplomatic dinner at the White
House. We know not what the fact was, nor the effect
which il is said TO have had upon the minister;
