The North-Carolina standard., 1850-07-03
HEAR AND HEED THESE FACTS!

One of the Washington Correspondents of the
Richmond Times says "there can be no mistake that
portion of the Cabinet is waging a bitter and un-
relenting opposition to Mr.. Clay's Adjustment; and
the same Correspondent adds that the Administra-
ton is operating among its officials in the Northern
States, preventing them from signing petitions in ia
of the sena,es plan, and getting up petitions in
favor of the Presidents plan! He says:
"In New York city. learn, that all the Custom
House and State officials, or post Office Employees
connected with the general commerce of the city,
have been instrumental in defeating any instructions
to their delegation to go for the Compromise, and
that in the twenty twenty-five thousand names now
signed there, requesting their members of Congress
to vote for this bill there not ten o6eiab. What
is than this, even, orders, told, have gone
to New Y York from Washington, that the officials
get up counter paper of remonstrance, to which,
no doubt, every one of their numerous names will be
signed!
When hear of these things, I think of the Allison
klers, and ,conder ,chat Gen. Taylor says. But do
not Gen. Taylor. for such facts carefully
concealed from him. Since that change in the edi-
tors of the Republic and for such causes it is not
pleasant to demonstrate with him against the action
Wings have left, is to do what am doing, address
the members of the Cabinet, as I am addressing
Ar. Preston, through the Whig organs of their
own States, to whose people they ne accountable
When tney feturn nome.
The Editors of the Times-a leading Wing paper
of Virgnla-notices this conduct of the Administra-
ton in the most indignant terms. They say:
sit does seem to be an unaccouniable infatuation
that the Cabinet should, In view of such evidences
of the sentiments Of Southern Wings, persist against
lie mest solemn y Gen. 7aylors pledges, in pressing
his policy upo" Congress- We look, with inexpressi-
BILE pain, upon the extraordinary spectacle now pre-
sened at Washington. Tie .ddministration seems to
repoe its sclOe confidence in tie Northern d;uison Of
tie Wig party, regardless of the undenable truth,
that If it is to have majority to sustain it in
Congress- that majority must be obtained by changes
in the South. Unless the Presidents eyes are soon
opened to the inevitable consequences of the course
which his official advisers are allowed to pursue, he
cannot expect to escape the reproaches now univer
sally heaped upon them"
And yet, the late Wing Convention for this State
warmly approved of Gen. Tayior's Administration; /;
and Gov Manly himself, in his printed speech, ex-
ults in the fact that Gen Taylor ss undismayed by
factonlss and demagogues," still 6 adheres to kne
g policy, which he deems essential TO the peace and
safety of the nation In plain English, the Whig
leaders Of this State have endorsed Gen. Taylor, his
Freesoiism, his violation of his solemn pledges %
in pressing his plan on Congress, and his usurpason
Of authority in advising and directing the fabrication
Of new States in California and New Mexico and
Gov Manly, going even beyond this, dongratulases
the country upon the fact that the President still ad.
here's TO his line Of policy. in opposition TO Mr.. Clay
and the plan Of the Senate, which tis same eonsis-
tent Convention had inst endorsed, and recommend
ed with amendments, to general approval and sup
port! What mixture Of party servility and. s,nk
dishonesty! Is it possible that such a set Of men
Can be longer upheld conpienanced by the honest
people Of North Carolina Let The FIRST day Of Au:
gust give the answer. .s.sss
