REMOVALS AND APPoINTMENTs-GEN. TAYLOR
PLEDGEs.-Mr. Truman Smith. the Caleb Quo
TEN of the cabinet, mas been making a speech of
two or three days in length, defending the charac-
ter of General Taylor from the aspersions of his
opponents, In relation to his pledges previous to
his election to the Presidency. We agree entirely
with Mr.. Truman Smith. General Taylor has fol-
filled to the letter all the original pledges which he
made In his letters previous to his election
The honest old military chief acknowledged in
his correspondence, nearly two years before his
election, that he was unacquainted with public az
fairs, and therefore less competent for that high
position than any other person named at the time
in connection with that office. We took him with
all his disqualifcations, believing that his pledges
would be realized. And we put 1t to any member of
the Senate, if every one of those promises has not
been fulfilled to the letterl He declared himself
ignorant of public AFFAIRS and he Is so, to the ex
tent of being under the necessity of giving his
whole power TO the cabinet. Truman Smith is,
therefore, right in defending General Taylor from

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
TeiegraPhic summary.

We learn from Washington that the whig men,
bers of the House OF Representatives are awfully
divided on the subject of the slavery question. It
Is quite natural to expect this, after the delivery of
two such speeches as Mr. Webster's and Mr.. Sc
ward's-the one Astounding with patriotism, and
the other overlooking with hostility to the South,
and demagoguism of the worst and most detesta-
bic form. Their ranks being thus divided, nothing,
according to present appearances, can be expected
of them in relation to the settlement of the slavery
question; but, We suppose, when compromise Is
brought forward, they will be divided into two fac
tons, and support or oppose 1t, according to the
school to which they belong-Websters or Sc
wards similar effervescence will take place
among the masses of the wings in New York and
New England, and the ultimate result will be, that
there will be as much distraction among the wings
as there has heretofore been among the democrats,
arising, too, from the same subject If such should
be the case, it will confirm what we have stated,
that the several factions and divisions will run Sc
parate candidates for the presidency in 1852, and
there will be general and exciting scrub race
when the next presidential election comes round
AS we have already stated, many of the New
York appointments, it is ascertaned, have been
made through the influence of Senator Seward,
who is In closer connection with the cabinet than
is consistent with propriety, considering his
opinions and sentiments on the constitution and
the slavery question, as he expressed them In his
recent speech. We certainly would not, therefore,
be surprised to hear that the Senate had deter
mined to reject the majority of them
BY the proceedings of the House Of Representa-
tives, it will be seen that some Of the members
wished to strike out of the deficiency bl-whIch
was under consideration, yesterday, in that branch
of the national Legislature-four thousand dollars,
an item set down the outfit of the charges to Aus
tria, under the impression that Col. Webb had not
yet received it, 1t is lucky for the gallant Colonel
that he drew his outfit under last years law, for it
Is probable that he would not get cent, if 1t were
Otherwise. However, this is rather small piece
of business. The Colonel, to be sure, went off in
a hurry, few days before the meeting Of the
Senate, for tear he should not be confirmed but
his rejection is bad enough, without depriving
him OF his outft-a paltry few thousand dollars.
The proceedings of the Senate were rather in
terestlDg.

The Webster Trial.

This intensely interesting trial progresses with
wonderful regularity, in the Supreme Judicial
Court IN session in Boston. The evidence of Doc
,ors Keep and Wyman has satisfied the prosecu-
ion that the remains found in the Medical College
were those Of DR.. Parkman. The testimony of
Mr.. Littlefeld was taken yesterday, to fasten the
guilt of the murder upon Professor Webster. This
estimony we give IN fall, in another column; and
il viii be universally read, as probably the most
important of any brought forward. 1t as CON-

Union Meeting In hatcher, miss.

We learn from Nstchez, Miss, that q tremendous
meeting in favor Of the Union had been held In that
city, at which several eloquent speeches delivered
and resolutions unanimously adopted declaring that
California has formed constitution and demanded sd-
mission into the Union 1t would be alike impoitio and
unjust to attempt to fortiy rights by inter-
riDg with the rights OF Others that the clause in the
Constitution Of California, which prohibits slavery,
should form obstacle to her full free, and prompt
admission into the Union, equal member Of our
oonfederacy, such fan admission not being deemed
aggression the rights Of the South, and, that the
Present agitation, which Is calculated to create
division the pat of the South, should be speedily
and enthusiastically settled.

The News from EurOps-ArrIval OF the
Niagara.

Our Geographic despatch, given on the outside,
containing the synopsis of the news by the Niaga-
IA arrived at Halifax, has important points of
interest. Uplands cotton had receded one-eighth-
other descriptions were at former quotations The
demand for coffee was limited, and breadstuffs had
declined.
The twenty-fourth of February had passed
quietly in Paris, the government not having inter-
tered with the celebration. The Greek question
is IN fair way to make a general disturbance.
The aggressive conduct of Lord Palmerston, in
blockadIng the Piraus and disturbing the peace of
King Ohio, has brought out instructions to the
Russian Minister in England, to inquire what
The British government propose; and Rus
Ella end France seem determined TO maintain the
treaty of 1897, which guaranteed protection to
Greece, though Lord Pslmerston may choose to
disrespect IT, The result Will be that England
will have 20 bfvsk up the blockade, or fight through
the difficulty. The advance In the prices OF the
consolidated funds, however, would seem to show
that no serious apprehensions are entertained In
London as to the movement on the part of Russia.
The Queen of England has offered large rewards
for information, or the restoration, of Sir John
Franklin, or for any aid tina, may be extended to
him. This may give happy stimulus to Mr..
Grnnell's expedition from this port, which, in the
main, however, is Of anything but mercsnary
character
