Hon. w. ]. BRowN.-ThOse who heard Mr..
Browns speech in this place on the 18th, cannot have
forgotten the ludicrous position in which General Tay-
lor was described as figuring in MS cabinet. BY an
article In another column. from the State Sentinel, it
will be seen that some little uneasiness is beginning
to be felt by some of the Wing press in reference TO
the bearing and weight of influence of their sssecond
Washington" In his cabinet-we say "his cabinet''-
because that Is the common expression, but our rea-
ders must understand the term now as inverted. and
meaning the Cabinets President-for like Timothy
P%ettigru's wife's Husband, he seems to count 0 when
placed before the Z with which he is associated. but
adds immensely TO the Importance of the 7 when pla-
ced after it. Setting all j~esting aside, it is a humili-
ating spectacle, and one that will not escape the OBJ
servation of other nations, that the American people
have elevated to the Presidency an individual SO To-
nOrant of the requirements of his station as to shrink
from its simplest duties, leaving them as well as more
weighty matters, to individuals not responsible 10 the
people for their acts. This is the nearest approach to
despotism that can be made under our form of gov
eminent. General Taylor when seeking the Presi-
dency. pledges himself if elected, not to administer
the government on party principles, but when elected,
calls around him n cabinet of rigid partisans and pla-
ces himself under their control; he pledges himself
against prescription for opinions sake, but his cabi-
net go on prescribing and to prescribe without let or
hindrance, General Taylor's pledges to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Whether the General is aware of
it or not, this is not only t~reachery 10 Inc people, but
as it removes the government officials as far as possi-
bic both from restraint and responsibility, it is prac-
teal despotism, and nothing elss.-Frankia Erami-
ueT.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1849-07-19

A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Clipper contends, that sometimes (rarely) President
Taylor undertakes to decide on appointments, but ad-
mits, os the general rule, that he either transfers them
to his Secretaries, or, when the higher Offices are to
be decided on, the majority ''decide or advise, and
the President ac9uieSces-that this 10 nothing less
than a vote" And he states the reason to be this
that being "uDacquointed with affairs of state, he,
from necessity, must confde to others duties which
former Presidents performed themselves This is,
indeed, giving up the whole question; that the cabi-
net is the President-and that a cabal controls the ad-
mlnls'ration. Let those who brought the country to
this predIcament, and appointed a man who is totally
unacquainted with affairs of state, and therefore is a
nose of wax in the hands of q cabal. be held respon-
sible to the people for this gross abuse of the Execu-
tive power-this fragrant departure from the exam
pies of the earlier Presidents.-W Union.
