Tactics Of ths Omei.l Orsan.
We think il must be conceded on all sides that the
organ Of General Taylor and the cabinet IN ITS party
actcs, rivals Mr. Clayton in his diplomacy, or Thomas
Ewing his shrewdness in the disposition OF Offices for
public and private considerations 1t is but few days
Ince the organ originated the charge against Of
HE southern democrats. that they were in alliance
with Mr. Giddngs and the free soers in forcing the
IWllmot Proyiso upon the House, and thus endan
Iksrng the Union. II is true this charge was very
modest and consistent in the organ OF an admins
non itself hall abolitonst whose political princi
es Messr Gddngs, Root Allen. and Others, support

bet composed OF Wilmot Proyisoiss and aboltonists.

udiousy concealed for the purpose OF preventing the
exposure OF shameful faisehood By which his election

hey are SO profound aud so adroit None but the
bryan Of Taylor cabinet could play game complex
knd unfaihomable.
AS part fits mastery strategy in politics. il came out
yesterday morning and accused the opposition in Con-
ess Of endeavoring defeat the Of the admin
ation by staying Of all legislative action. AS evil
ence Of this design the part Of what it calls the oppo
hon, the organ specifics the failure OF the House to
ec Clerk This result the shrewd, skilful, and adroit
ouih-pece Of the administration boldly and manfully
charges to the opposition, AMI navey supposes the
country will credit the assertion,
Now, what are the facts? Have not the democratic
hary had candidate in nomination Tor the office OF
erk ever since Congress commenced its session And
suld they not have elected him. if it had not been for
DE opposition OF the abolitonsts and the federal

Particularly would he not be elected if the administration
members would vote for him Is it not, then, clear,
ording to the luminous and convincing logic oil the cab
met organ, that the administration members prevent
kecion OF Clerk, and thus keep the House in state

With elected 1t is therefore true according to the very
wonderful and unique raocnation of their organ, that
