HE New YORK Observation-Disclosures or THE
TEAPoT CABISEr-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 a great
extent, " an 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 much esteemed, re-
spec,ed, and, we may add, beloved, by the Ameri-
can people, as he ever was. But will inform the
Republic what the issue in those elections,
and what will be the issue IN 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 sufirages to the old hero they knew he
was unacquanted " 18th 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 cabi-
net and if the people of Pennsylvania and other
States have condemned and rebulSed their conduct
and their policy, the cabinet may rest satisfied that
the people of New York will do so likewise We
were the first journalist in the country to nominate
General Tay lor, and TO 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, al
low us to support the cabinet the policy which
they have thought proper to. pursue since their
cession to Office. While we denounce the cabinet
and its policy, we shallcontinue to support General
Taylor, and, at the same time, prevent any trckery
by MIR. Clayton and his associates or 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 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 il is dsbanded, and better and more
competent men placed in their stead II Mr.. Clay
ton and his associates are gifted with any agacity,
they can read their fate in the elections which have
taken place recently in Pennsylvania and other
States, and they will be confirmed In what say
when our Nsw York election shall have taken
place.
