Csare LSnxu.xs.-Dlgn,ty OF the Cabiast Organ.
In an abusive article upon Gen. Cas- the cabinet or
gan Of yesterday made Of the following dlgnhed and
eourly language:
The point Of The SENATOR'S speech, which obnoxious
70 criticism the entire lack Of bosos sp~csd for OH r
people, ghilsf hs had s.h quantity for hime
Il is well known that the Republic established
here under the auspices Of Gen. Taylor and the cabinet
and that it is the chosen and favored organ Of the admin
isaiion The low and vulgar language above quoted from
is columns, applied OF the most eminent statesmen
and worthy citizens OF this country, may therefore be
considered as the choice language Of the cabinet the
Of which by their organ being sanctioned and approved
BY them The confidential organ Of Gen. Taylor. John
M. Clayton. Thomas Ewing. VIM M Meredith, Sc, in
order to throw ridicnle upon Of the ablest and
most distinguished Of this republic, the rival candi
date Of General Taylor for the presidency, makes
gross and indecent allusion to his person. Can the
creatures that nde such stuff for the cabinet organ have
any sense Of shame And do the cabinet design
to permit such q shameful system OF warfare to be
carried on against the eminent men who politically
oppose Them Do they desire that party contests
shall degenerate into gross and vulgar personal abuse
Do they wish themselves TO be personally assaeds Do
they desire to have their private habits and practices
dragged before the public and exposed We put the ques-
ton directly Mr. Clayton and ask him If he wishes the
opposition to make auson to his personal appearance and
his private habits in the vulgar and unbeccming language
Of the Republic, his organ, II the cabinet permit their
organ 10 pursue this mode Of warfare they will find il
game that two play at "A word TO the wise is su.
Gent" We desire not to be dragged into assault upon
the private characters and habits OF the members OF the
cabinet; and therefore trust they viii induce their
organ TO forbear such mode of warfare upon prominent
democrats. The cabinet ought TO have sense Of
decency and they ought to restrain their organ by whom
they are represented before the world from the commits
sion Of acts which cannot fail 10 convince the public that
the members Of the cabinet sanction and stimulate its
indecencies.
But the organ also assas Gen. Cass for having held
many Offices during his long and eveniful life Has
Mr. Clay also held Office during the last forty years. And
has not Mr. Webster held Office nearly as longi And.
especially. has not Gen. Taylor been Office holder,
with scarcely days inermssion, for more than forty
years And did he resign his Office in the army from
which he receiving $1,000 per annum, when he
. candidate for the presidency He did not. Gen. Cass
had the modesy 10 retire from Office after be nom
mated; but his rival Gen. Taylor held 10 his Office
until few days before his Inauguration.
And yet the organ of Gen. Taylor has the impudence
and shameessness to assa Gen. Cass, because he has
been called, during many years Of his life, to fill mpor
tant Offices And why have Gen. Cass and Messrs Clay
and Wooster, been in Office for such long periods' is
because Providence has favored them with talents and
paciiies far above the OF their feow-nen They
have been called 6 Offices during most Of the active
portions Of their lives because they could the peo
pie and their country in those Offices better than most
oshen And YET the organ Of the cabinet is degraded
enough make the fact ground Of charge. and text
OF abuse against General Cass.
II we may Judge by the language and OF the
organ, the cabinet TO be sensible OF its fallen
diton. and is assaing its most eminent opponents
through mere motives Of spite, bitterness and malice We
shall and the people WILL hold the cabinet responsible
for the language of its organ.
