These people aHe honest and above-bo They
don't want any compromise. They, and their re-
presentatrves in Congress, oppose il.
But there is still another and more fearful DOW
er arrayed against just and equitable compromise
of the slavery question. This power is more to
be dreaded, and is more dangerous, than the inau-
ence Of any faction to which we have alluded
The people of the different States elected 70 the
Presidency man they believed to be honest and
capable, and who would administer the govern
ment faithfully and in accordance with the COM
promises of the constitution. General Taylor was
Southern man. and the Southern people support
ed his election under the belief that his adminstra-
tion would DO Justice TO the South. What is the
true state of ths case He has called around him
as his cabinet and advisers, a set of men who
beyond the reach or control of the people, save
through the President; and yet this cabinet have
wiifully deceived the President, and have made
him and his administration the handspring of the
opposition 10 prompt and satisfactory settlement,
! of the whole slavery question, which, if not ef-
lected this session, may deluge this land with an
! ocean Of human blood. cabinet that have usurp-
ed the power of the President which the constitu-
lion especially forbids he should delegate to any
set of men, and are welding it to crush the patriots
in Congress-those sages, such Clay, Webster,
Clemens and others, who see the awful peril which
menaces the Union, and who striving to avert
It, 1 his cabinet, shielded by the personal popuaT-
ty of General Taylor, have allied the admnistra-
ton with the men and the measures of the aboll-
tonists, and are leagued with them in all their
wicked designs This cabi net, acting from the
lowest, The most grovelng, and the basest of mo-
tives, are striving TO put off settlement of the
slave question, in the hope that something may
urn up which will enure to their individual ag-
grandizement, even though it results in a resort TO
arms by the opposing section oil the Union, when
Presidents and cabinets would become mere
straws to stop the boodshed and carnage that
would follow, until the Union was dism mbered
| forever and become two separate republics.
Viewed in this light, the course which the cabl-
net pursuing is far dangerous to the safety
of the Union than anything which the faction of
the abolitionists, unaded, have power to do. Abby
| Kelly is much above the cabinet, in the purity
| and honesty of her views when contrased with it,
as the blessed Virgin Mary, with her golden crown
upon her head, and happiness in consortng with
the blessed in heaven, is above the street walker,
| in her dirty rags and wrechsdness, and consorting
with negroes at the Five Points. Garrison, who
! goes honestly to work, and openly procaims his
! design 10 cut the throats of III, Southern slave
| holders, and furnish their wives and daughters for
the NEGRO slaves, is saint in his vews compared
with those of the cabinet of General Taylor The
one would disgrace, ruin, burn, murder and pllag,
one section only. The other-the cabinet-by their
course, would plunge all the States into anarchy,
disunion, and all the attendant horrors OF civil
| war.
| Can il be possible that the President is the only
blind man in the Union, and cannot the great
danger in which his cabinet thrusting the
country and his administration, in time TO get rid
of them, and save the States from anarchy and
bloodshed!
