In the second place, establishes the fact that the
present cabinet has resolved oppose the compromise Of
the slavery question, by going for the admission Of Cali
forna and reservng the settlement OF the territorial ques-
ton for future agitation. t
And third, it establishes the fact that the Galphin
claim is to be sustained, and its payment justified, by the
cabinet and its adherents.
This them is the position Of the administration. 'as il

and its principles are opposition TO the settlement Of the
slavery question: and the Justification Of the Galphin

the letter we have copied from the Express says il

did for two or three years. and so again demonstrate the

But the writer reveals other facts Of almost equal i'm

He says that the editors OF the Republic express the

cabinet smother conceal the fact that the late
editors Of the Republic did express the voice Of large
majority Of the wing members Of Congress This fact

Macbeth, and will not down at their bidding. ECO
Next the letter insinuates that Messrs Clayton and
Meredith instgaed the correspondent Of the Philadelphia
North American and the New York Courier and En-.
qurer, well known here, to charge upon the wing
bers that they had been bri6ed with Teras bonds
this be true, what state Of things does il exhibit,
with the cabinet and the whig members Of Con-
gress When before, in the whole history Of this gov

instgating charge Of bribery against members Of Con-
gress belonging to their own party, and insnuatng thai
fact why the cabinet supported by such
members' Never BEFORE in all our political experience
have we witnessed the like. Never before have W,
members Of the political party accusing eacf

such things have occurred that the wing party has be

declaration Of the writer Of that letter. that she sohol
