i Mr.. wsbsssrs Policy Adopted BY tAs Cabinet.
It very evident from the two long and elaborate ar
tcles which have recently appeared in the Republic, IN
commentator Of Mr. Webster's speech, that General
Taylor and the cabinet whose confidential organ thai
paper is have abandoned their policy Of with
reference to the Territories and to the conclusion
TO give the countenance and support Of the admnstra-
ton 10 settlement OF the question upon the principles
indicated in Mr.. Wsbsters speech We must confess
that grated to this sign Of returning reason
on the part OF the cabinet rendered significant by
the fact that the National egsncsr has also endorsed
Mr. Websters speech It shows that the cabinet has
become convinced that its do-nothing, noncommual
policy will not answer in these perilous times; and
win do the cabinet the justice to say that this
sion il has consented TO waive its own favorte policy
for the good Of the country The is patriotic. and
deserves commendaton.
the united wing press Of hisown State The Boston Atlas
heretofore conceded to be the organ Of the edersts Of
New England, but more recently the exponent Of the
peculiar views and interests Of Abbott Lawrence and the
cottonocracy, has already taken ground against Mr..
Websers course and positions This fact indicates that
the portion of the wing party Of New England repre-
have resolved to cut their political connexions with Mr.
Webster and the administration, and, Of course, they
will make up their minds rally under the black disu
MON banner Of Mr. Seward Such must be the ultimate
destiny of the Atlas and its clique and all others who
take issue with Mr. Webster in his patriotic efforts to
preserve the Union That will lead to struggle be-
tween the two contending factions Of the wing party in
the North we do not doubt Nor do we doubt the result

wing party will soon become convinced Of the wisdom
Of Mr. Websters course, and they will sustain him.
man who boldly pers himself for his country cannot be
Frustrated by factions which band themselves against its
peace and safety.
The present great question, growing out Of causes
which have brought imminent danger upon the Union,
rises above all party and demands the patriotic efforts Of
all faithful and loyal citizens for its peaceful and salts
factory settlement We believe the democratic party Of
all sections of the Union view il in this light and will
Operate with any individuals parties differing with
it political faith in settling and putting at rest forever
this dangerous question We infer this from the
expressions Of the democratic press in relation to Mr.
Websters speech For instance. the Boston Post pub
shed in the great commercial city Of Mr. Websters
State, thus comments upon his speech:
Mr.. WEBsrKR's sPEEcH.-The opinions respecting Mr..
Webstes remarks conflicting, among his friends
For ourselves consider the speech frank honest and
fearless exposition OF Mr. Websters vews-the prompngs
his reason his of justice, and feelings Of PATRIOTISM
without reference local prejudces populaa speech
intended promote the unity and the welfare Of the
TIoN, uttered In the spirit in which the constitution
ormed-a spirit Of compromise, forbearance, generosity.
Since preparing the preceding, have received the
Boston papers of the 18th inst They indicate beyond all
doubt that Mr.. Webster will be sustained triumphanly
by the solid and substantial portion Of his party who
control and give direction. not only of Boston and
Massachusetts, but throughout New England. From
our knowledge Of the people Of New England, we were
confident that such would be the result The substantial
poro ofthe people OF the New England States have not
yet spoken their real sentiments the great questions
which now agtaie the Union 30 fearfully. They have
left the matter to the demagogues and politicians but
that il has become question involving the integrity and
existence Of the Union they will forward and de.
clare for the Union it is, based upon the compromises
OF the constitution And we have but little doubt that
they will rebuke and put down the fanatics and dema-
gogues who agitang the public mind upon the SUBJ
ject OF slavery the derment Of the public tranquility
and the safety OF the Union We are aware that the peo
pie of New England are not in favor OF slavery; but,
while they do not approve Of that institution, they will
honestly and faithfully execute the provisions Of the
great constitutional compact entered into the fathers Of
the republic, by which the Union founded, and by
observing which il can only be preserved.
As indications OF wing public sentiment in Boston, and
OF course Massachusetts, and New England, in reference
to Mr.. Websters speech, copy the following article
from the Boston Daily Advertiser, wing paper, more
elevated in tone and respectable in its character
every point OF view, than the Atlas, the organ OF Abb
bott Lawrence:
