A "PARTIZAN PRESIDENT,

"A AN AA11AA> AII1AOCNA
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Tri-
bune says:
"My word for it, if the whig party in the State of
New York and throughout the Union is not stronger
than it has been before, the fault will not be
the door of Mr.. Fillmore
To the same effect speaks the Republic of the new
Cabinet:
'This, it will be conceded by all, is Cabinet of
great ability, of large experience in the conduct of
public affairs, thoroughly Wing in its character, and
justly entitled to the confidence of the Wing party
and of the country. The gentlemen composing it
will undoubtedly have many difficulties to contend
with, and encounter almost from the moment of their
entrance into Office, ierce determined, and power
ful opposition. That they will prove themselves
equal to the occasion, their unquestoned quafca-
tions and known devotion to Whig principles give
confident hope and assurance
Here, then, falls the fimsy veil of no-partyism -
SO cunningly used by the Wings in ls4s. We were
told that, by the election of Taylor and Fillmore, we
should put down parties, and should elect Presi-
dent of the people, and not of party. The Wings
jump Jim Crow, and boast that they have full
blooded par,izan President, who goes in for making
the Wing party stronger" Their 'no-partyism -
of ls48 has not only resulted in strictly partizan
administration-but in sectional array of parties
which endanger the very existence of the Union.
We are glad, at this late day, to the hum
bug trick of noparty" repudiated by the authors.

In the Senate TO-DAY. MI. Boustois prssssssed .hs
da county Texas, opposition 70 the interference d
the United Stes with the claim of Texas.
The compromise bill was taken up and Mr.. Clay
spoke at length He took view Of the state of the
question in very llcid manner, and gave summary
OF the argument in support Of the bill.
He considered the objections to Gen. Taylors plan,
but passed warm enlogium upon him as states
man and patriot and soldier. He approved entire
y of his foreign policy, and to his domestic poi-
cy it was not fully developed.
He spoke particularly and strongly on the subject
Of the dispute pending between Texas and New
Mexico. There was a prospect, if Congress did not
interfere, Of civil and servle war. 1t would begin
on the Rio Grande and soon reach the Potomac.
He alluded to the daily conferences Of Southern
and Northern opponents Of the bill.
Mr.. Mason remarked that the Southern men con-
fered together with view to the protection Of South
ern rights and interests. -
Mr.. Clay said the bill was framed by those who
conferred with view to the protection Of the inter-
ests of the whole country, the whole Union.
Immense, applause cheering, clapping and thump-
ing for some time. The chair in vain interposed.
MI. Clay pictured the consequences of the failure
of this bill-civil war and when war begins no one
would see it's end. He ridiculed the rhodomontade
Of some Southern disunionists- particularly of Mr..
Rhett, member of the Nashville Convention. As
to Southern confederacy, he argued that it would
head waters of the Mississippi, and its tributary
streams, would consent that the mouth of the
river should be controlled by any foreign power-any
power alien to them.
He appealed to the Senators from Virginia, Rhode
Island and Delaware, to sustain that bill. He had
been aware, for days. that the bill not
tain to pass. But it better calculated to main
tain the honor and interests of the country than any
that could be devised. 1t might be defeated. 1t
would be triumph of abolitonism.
MI. Barnwell spoke in explanation of the character
of valued friend, meaning Mr.. Rhett-whose char
acter was above reproach.
Mr.. Clay did not intend to disparage Mr.. Rhett.
He knew him and had some. respect for him. But if
he had made of the declarations imputed to him,
at the meeting in Charleston, he traitor-and
hope, said Mr.. Clay. he will with the fate of
traitor! Loud aPplause.l Mr.. Clay hoped that
the sentiments of disunion belonged to South Caro-
lima. There were men in other States gallant as
the people of South Carolina, and he would answer
for Kentucky that thousands and tens of thousands
of her noble would rush to arms in support of
the standard of the Union against the rebels.
Mr.. Barnwell said there were two ends to a rope.
rebel might die honoraby in defence of the right.
He did not doubt the galantry of other States, but
South Carolina would defend justice at the hazard Of
safety. Mr.. Hale replied to some portions in Mr..
Clay's speech. Mr.. Clay rejoined. The Senate ad-
journed.

The new Cabinet have been unanimously confrm,
ed BY the Sena,e.,aMr. Pearce and Mr. Corwin are
still IN their seats but Mr. Webster has entered
his duties. It 10 presumed that Gov. Briggs will
appoint Mr. Rufus Choate or Mr.. Edward Everett to
the vacant seat in the Senate and either of these
would support the compromise. The Governor Of
Maryland will certainly appoint person friendly to
the compromise.
] consider the compromise bill as dead, unless the
votes Of Mr.. King and Mr Clemens, or some other
Southern Senator'S can be conciliated BY amendments
Mr. Foote'S pending amendment. reducing the limits
of California by adopting thirty five thirty as the
Southern boundary. may possibly be agreed upon in
order to the bill. AT all events hoped that
the Senate will take vote on indefinite postpone
ment next Tuesday or "Wednesday. If mis- scheme
is to fail, it is time that another was tried. think
that the next thing attempted ought 10 be, and will
be, to settle the controversy between Texas and New
Mexico. 1t can be done only in one way, by giving
Texas round sum of ten millions, as the price Of
peace She is entitled to an assumption by the gen.
eral government Of her revolutionary debt if she
ceded not a foot of land to the Union.
1t is inferred from Mr.. Crawford's commu nication
to the Senate of Wednesday last, that up this time
the original orders TO Col. Monroe, against military
interference with the Texan authorities, are
voked. Mr.. Fillmore will make a reply to the de-
mands of Texas next week. He has already PROM
ised to answer Governor Bells letter as soon as he
has cabinet around him. l presume he will take
no rash course, but arrange the matter with Texas
as to preserve the present state of things, until Con-
gress will, under his advice, make such an offer
Texas as will secure her acceptance. As far Mr..
Webster is concerned one of his counsellors, he
has repeatedly urged the policy of buying our
peace;" and he has insisted that Congress ought
to adjourn till the Texan dispute be settled He is
also opposed to the admission Of New Mexico as
State have to believe, as have heretofore
stated, that the President will recommend in case of
the failure of the Compromise bill, the passage of
bill establishing Territorial Government for New
Mexico, and making an offer to Texas for the adjust
ment of the boundary dispute. This he will, no
doupt propose, demanding the earliest attention
of Congress. His policy, this subject, will ne
cssearily be avowed in his reply to Gov. Bell.

Now let Us see how unfounded the above cnarge
against Col. Reid is; and if We prove 'i.s '.sEa'
