We think. BY this time. that the revelations Of the Re-
pube the personal organ Of General Taylor. must have
convinced the most incredulous Of his party supporters
south Of the Potomac that far from being in favor OF
any compromise Of this menacng and perlous conflict Of
sections he u firmly opposed to it, and will do all in his
power to prevent III or should properly say that
his cabinet, composed Of majority Of reesoers, OPP
posed to il; and Gen. Taylor having idea nor in fact
power Of taking any in opposition to the will Of
his cabinet - matter Of course, falls in with whatever
they may dsismine And the cabinet having determined
10 oppose III compromise adjustment Of the territorial
question. Gen. Taylor is committed to its positions.
instsad of those OF Messrs. Webster and Clay.
We therefore assert without the fear Of contradiction
BY he organs Of the cabinet in this eyhe Republic and
Nafionai Integsneerthat Gen. Taylor and his cabinet
axe opposed to all settlement Of the pending controversy
and that they determined 10 carry out the system Of
son-eon in respect 10 the Territories Of New Mexico
and Desere far - they have the power TO do thus
leaving the question open for long years Of contention
and agitation at the fearful hazard Of bringing upon their
country dsnon and civil war. This Is the policy Of
Mess Seward Garrison, Giddings, and the whole band
81 ise-soilers and aboionsts at the North and thus
Gen. Taylor and his cabinet have resolved to throw
themselves into the embraces Of this faction Of abolition
diaunonis and denagogues. trusting to good luck for
the results Notwithstanding all the assertions and in
tmaons to the contrary contained in the gned attacks
Of the Republic (the Generals organ) on Mr. Seward.
we affirm that the determination Of the cabinet, and Of
course that Of the nominal President Of the United States.
u such % we have above stated, and neither Of organs
in tkis ely vA yeatsrs % deny the fact.
we hope, therefore that there will be no more attempt
on he part Of the Taylor press Of the South to deceive
tie people Of that section Of the Union that point
but on ~ contrary we hope the southern wing press
win have the manliness and honor to forward and
saHs lie truth to their readers, and for themselves

press OF the South should distinctly define its posi-.

havs resolved to enter into league with the admins
aiion and the free. soil abotonists, to prevent action
BY Congress- and leave the slavery and territorial ques

So far ~ Congress is concerned, we think we may

many honorable members Of Congress in both houses
We ae aware who in favor OF the restriction Of sa
very In the Territories. They are in favor Of such
provision either because they believe It to be right in ITSELF
or being indifferent themselves with regard it. they be-
svs that their constituencies are in favor OF such pro-
vision. Yet they, in common with the members who
opposed restrictive provision and in favor OF the
principle of non-inieryenton in the first instance desire
that the controversy should be permanently settled and
we have every reason to believe that after doing all that
fidelity TO their constituents requires, and reasonable
parliamentary opposition justes, they will pursue no
factous course to defeat the will Of the majority They
are honestly and truly favor OF settlement Of this un-
happy dspue and il they cannot have settled precisely
according to their views and Wishes they desire to
have settled the next best plan. Such course is
patriotic, and we do not doubt will meet with the ap-
probation OF vast majority OF the people OF all sections
Of the Union.
