Senator Seward and the Cabinet of General
Tnyior-The One-Eyed Thompson or the
Whlg Party.


Whig Party.
1t seems that the denunciation recently pro-
nounced by the Republic, at Washington, on the
speech of Senator Seward, is all meant tor bum
eombe-simply for the purpose of deceiving and de-
ludlng the Southern whig members Of Congress,
who have yet some little good feeling towards the
present administration. Thurlow Weed, of Alba
ny, in the Erenimg Journal Of Friday last, in
making some comments on Mr.. Stewards speech
IN the Senate, let's the cat out of the bag, and dis
closes the real secrets and purposes of Senator Sc
ward and the cabinet, IN the following manner:-
Gov Seward holds in common with the great mass OF
the friends of the Union that the direct practical and
safe way out Of present embarrassment that 80
fsstopably and wisely recommended ty Gen Taylor
his upon the whole question In issus would
give "a. In some quarters he did not feel at liberty
occasion he spoke for his State and for himself But he
second TO no man in his appreciation Of Gen ray
lor's wsdom and patriotism; does any realize
moresrstefuliy the happy OF events and
ccumsapces whicb, at crisis full OF peril raised up
blessings Of their cherished Union.-4ibany Erening
journal.
The perfect understanding which would appear
from these disclosures TO exist between Mr. Sc
ward and General Tay lor's cabinet, will probably
be news TO one of those partes-at least TO Gen.
Taylor himself, including Bullitt and Bliss, what
ever it may be to his cabinet. 1t seems that
a full and frank declaration Of sentiments, or
of the whole truth, relative to the secret under
standing between Mr.. Seward and the cabinet,
would not do at this time, because it might IN
volve General Taylor with Mr. Stewards friends,
aud might have strong and mallgn influence in
Congress against other matters This is certainly
graphic honesty, bu il happens to be that species
oi honesty-that description OF truth, which we
sometimes see in the purchased evidence or ex-
orted avowals of stool pigeon witnesses in our
Count OF Sessions, under severe cross-examina.
iion by one Of The a,tute counsel there. One-Eyed
Thompson would be precisely such a witness
Thurlow Weed, who himself seems to occupy the
position of the Que. Eyed Thompson" Of the
whig party OF his State only Thurlow has yet to
earn the cunning Of his prototype Of the Tombs,
ard no, 10 tell too much before the proper time.
AL this curious and singular disclosure, very
briefly stated and delivered on the stand at AL.
bsny, by Thuilow Weed, the " One Eyed Thomp-
sou of the whig party of New York, will be pom
dered upon and treasured up by the unfortunate
people at Washington, who have suffered some
from the political burglars, house breakers, and
counterfeit money venders belonging to the va
Tious parties and factions in this region. Accord
ing TO those disclosures, General Taylor's judg-
ment and patriotism, at this crisis, cover the whole
ground and prospects delneated by Mr.. Seward in
his recent speech but it would be impoltic to
tell the fact to the whole world, and therefore il Is
proper to divulge it very confdentially only,
through the columns Of the " Eesnimg Journal"
which is conducted by the " One-Eyed Thomp-
son'' Of the wing party Of New York. Thur
low has recently been at Washington, and saw
the cabinet and Seward almost every day. OF
course, be speaks from the cabinet card-bu, not
from the President and the White House. There
is fun and trouble brewing.
