rcsition OF the Cabinet In Relation the Compro-
mise-The South Danger.
Some Of our Wing friends who rely for their poll.
Ucai information upon those enteypriSing and i4de-
pendent journals, the American and Patriot of this
CITY, are disposed to censure for charging upon
zen Taylor and his Cabinet hostility to the comTro-
mise, and opposition to satisfactory adjustment Of
the exciting questions involved in the bills submitted
oy the committee of thirteen.
We excuse friends for their doubts for no one
who rests upon the papers have named for infor-
nation, can be expected to know understand the
1eellngs OF the country. We have occasionally sup
ported our own views by testimony from the Wing
press, intended believed to arouse the public
mlnd to the perils which environ people, in
consequence of the position of General Taylor and
his Cabinet
The original admirers or advocates of Gen. Taylor
attempt to sever him from his Cabinet; and while
tney denounce in unmeasured terms the latter they
still attempt to shield him from cul pabilty. But
the intelligent people OF this country understand toe
well the facts Of the case 10 be thus misled. The
Cabinet Is but the agent of Gen. Taylor-its mem
bers were voluntarily selected by him as his advisers
and are removable at his pleasure. 1t follows
therefore Individually, that their acts are his acts
and that whatever folly criminality attaches to
them, must of necessity attach to him. If Gen. Tay-
or dsapproved of the policy of the Cabinet it is in
MS power to remove them. at any mOment-and until
ne exercises that power he will be justly held ac-
countable for all they do.
With these preliminary remarks, submit the
following from one of the leading Wing papers OF the
Empire State, and ask our Wing friends especial
