The RUPTURE WITH BULL1TT AND SARGENT
The Ursnor OF THE BUsINEss-THE
WAY IT WAS DONE, AND THE REASON Why
From the .Ncv York Hcrald.]
WAsnlNoroN, May II, 1850.
Thunder and bombshclls! what's the row.
The quidnumcs are all agog. Whatin the name
of God, has broken loose? Is Cuba invaded?
Is there a negro instruction anywhere? Has
there been another fare up in the Senatc?-|
What means all this gathering at the National
Hotel, and why are all these men here, gathered
into clusters and smoking cigars?
The valedictory-the farewell address off
Buiitt and Sargent-the Independent Bulltt
and the little frisky Sargcnt-explains the rid
dc They had to 90. They couldn't stay
they cut it too fat---the Cabinet couldn't stand
it, and they couldn't rctract they had to back
out. Hard wasn't it? Well it was Tell us
all about it,
Well, you see, Buliitt is an independent sort
of a fellow-an old friend of Old lack, and en-
titled to take liberties with him, which no other
man outside Of the Cabinet could presume ON.
1t was Bullitt that put General Taylor into the
track for the presdency--it was Bullitt that Fl tx
ed up the first Allison, and, probably, the second
Allison letter-it was Bullitt's advice that gu-
ded Old Tack through the campaign of as
Good Bullitt came on to Washington with
Old lack, with his consent, and some say at
his especial request, to establish especial Or
gan here, as the confidential oracle of Old Zack's
administration. He did so. The paper has
gone on we'll enough, holding to the unity Of
Old lack and his Cabinet. But at last Bullitt
fell into the grand mistake. He said that the
Cabinet was odious to the Wings, and odious to
the country, and that General Taylor must be
rid of it, fall with it into rretreyable disgrace.
That's what he said. He wanted to save Old
Zack-Bullitt did. He loved the old mamie
had talked with the leading Wings of Congress
he had discovered that the Cabinet, and the
Cabinet plan Of settling the slavery question,
would not do; and, as the friend of General Tay-
Tor, he undertook to speak tor him, without CON
suting the Cabinet. That's what he did
What next? Oh, ye gods and little fishes!
what next? Shade of the immortal Galphin,
what next? BY the blood of the martyred Pous-
sin, and the condemned tobacco-boxes of Mon
seur Port, do tell us what next? Well, there
was row-a regular The Cabinet, from
different directions, and all about the scene,
posted to the White House And there
was a Cabinet council That was last Satur-
day night. What says the old nursery song?
''Last Saturday night
/ sat up high;
The wind did blow,
The cock did crow,
The leaves did culver,
And Bullitt did SILVER,
To see the din the fox did make
Clayton was the fox, and Bultt the goose, and
they nabbcd him. Bulltt and Sargcnt-the
independent Bullitt, and the frisky little Sargent
dining out, and they were toasting
the health of fair lady, distinguished for her
shining qualities, message came ina message
from the President, Sin wrting.' The message
was read, and Bultt and Sargent disappeared
that is, they took up their hats and left the
house for the White House. That's all we
know about that affair. The rest may be sur
missed. But rumor says the Cabinet unanimous
ly resolved to resign, unless Bullitt and Sargent
were superseded; and that Old lack put his old
friend on his good behavior, without getting from
him any confession of wrong or any promise of
amendment.
On Sunday, the matter was further discussed
Bullitt was advised to sell out, and on Monday,
preliminarics were agreed upon; and last night,
in Cabinet council, the transfer was concluded.
Bullitt and Sargent were bought at good
round sum. Allen A. Hall, Mr.. Meredith S AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, purchaser, and
Messrs. Meredith and Clayton the turnishers off
the money--that is, of the first instalment, ac-
cording to rumor. OF course, till the facts arc
out we must depend on rumor; but runor some
times hits upon the facts. The Republic has
gone into the hands of Allen A. Hall, who is
taken out ofthe Treasury to grind out the music
of the Treasury organ.
What next? Nobody knows. What's the
object of all this? Nobody can divine it. 1t is
supposed that the object is to defeat and put
down Henry Clay, and that the mortal offence
g.
Cabinet, to the support of Clay's compromise.
This very conjecture has played the mischief
among sthe Wings of the two Houses. They
are all upside down, cells and catfish all in bask-
ct together We can guess at nothing till we
hear the tune ofthe new organ grinder, till we
settle the Galphin claim, &c. &c, all of which
we expect to get at in few days. We may
have the Galphinlreport tomorrow. Meantime,
let us watch and pray, il the case is not past
praying for. We are in pickle, that s the fact;
but like the man in the well, let us hope for day
light, and a strong rope to pull us out.
