GEN. TAYIoR,s PRESCRIPTION.

The Hon TRUMAN SMITH, in his defence of
the Administration against Mr.. Bradbury's charge
of ruthless prescription, produced an array of
facts which must set this groundless calumny at
rest in the minds of all candid men, He reviewed
the history of the appointing power as exercised
by the four Democratic Presidents, Jackson Van
Buren,, Tyler and Polk, and showed that when
Gen. Taylor came into power, he found, like Mr..
Jefferson that the ofic es had been used to perpe-
tuate the rule of party whom the people had, in
his election, overthrown. 1t became his duty, in
Mr. Jeferson's language, "to correct the proce-
dure, and he did so, not by a process of mere re-
taation which the circumstances might we'll have
excused, not by giving his opponents "measure
for measure" of iption, but by the fair and
equitable expedient of creating something like
an equality, between the two great parties of the
country in the enjoyment of the public patronage
Mr.. Smith presented the following striking
statement of the political condition of the Depart
mens at Washington, first at the time Of Gen
Taylor's Inauguration, and secondly at the begin
ming of the present year:

The Union refers as follows to the two impor-
tant bills reported by Mr. Douglas from the Com
mittee on Territories, on Monday, in the Senate
AS we understand the character of the two bills the
first provides for the admission of California into the
Union with her present limits; and the second provides
for the establishment of territorial government for the
new Mormon Territory of Utah, prescribing specific
limits for said Territory, and also territorial govern
ment for New Mexico, whichis to embrace all the ter
ritory acquired from Mexico, except California and
Utah 1t contains provision in relation 10 slavery
leaving the whole question with the people of those
Territories. The bill also contains a provision
for the settlement of the Texan boundary by pc
cuniary compensation to Texas in consideration ofthe
release the claim to her territory in dispute between
herself and New Mexico.
We hail this movement as the sure harbinger of an
early settlement of The question. The two bills, with
the bill providing for the efectual recovery of
fugitive slaves, constitute system of measures which
trust will be satisfactory to both the great sections
of the Union, and hope and believe will meet with
the appreciation moderate portions of both houses
peace and harmony will be Immediately restored to the
confederacy. Mr.. Douglas is entitled to the tina nks
of the country for his auous and perseverng abors in
this great work OF paciticalion.
