Tns Presidents Piaa.

=
Yesterday we submitted few remarks touching the
Presidents recommendations for settling the territorial
question All the same time we laid before our readers
eydeaces OF public sentiment, dsproving the assertion
made BY the New York Courier and Enquirer and reite
rated byshe Republic. affirming that the leading wing
journals OF every southern well as every northern
State concur in commenting The Presidents plan. But
there is another point which should be kept in view
The presidential recommendation is used by one por-
ton OF the opponents OF the Adjustment brought for
ward by the Committee Of Thirteen to defeat that Measure,
while another and different scheme is used BY another
poon in order to effect the same purpose In the South
we find that the Adjustment is assaed because it yields
M too much 10 The North n the North it is assaed BY
The abo,onsis and free-solers because does not
throw the position hitherto maintained By the southern
people Extremes have mel for once; and Joshua r
Gddings and his compeers stand side by side with the
extremists from the South This fact looks strange, and
vet is true and undenable; and the friends Of the
a,phn cabinet are using il in order to force upon the
country the dangerous recommendations OF the California
message They know full well that the Presidents plan
is not sanctioned BY majority Of Congress, and not by
respectable minority OF the people yet despite Of those
promises which General Taylor made to defer the will
Of the people as expressed through their
the devotees Of The cabinet are sanng every nerve
defeat all the proper and efficient schemes Of adjustment
so that the minority plan--lhe Executive scheme
Of non acon--may be fastened upon the country,
in defiance Of the known wish and ascerained will
Of the country Accordingly, we find the Republic
Of Saturday straning its utmost power to prove that
The Adjustment proposed BY the Committee Of Thir-
teen is unfavorabe to the South. while the Republic
Of Tuesday endeavors to array norihup fanaticsm
against the same measure. by holding up prejudice and
passion the arguments which have addnced. proving

This shutting and Misunderstanding is disgraceful in the
IRENE yet is but an imitation smaller scale, oil
the giant fraud which was pracsed on the people in s4s
whereby Gen. Taylor was made President Of the United
States Indeed. we could expect nothing beer from
journal which has so recently changed hands, because
lis former conductors could not defend the fraudu-
lent practices OF the cabinet. When press is es-
bshed for the purpose Of defending the plumber Of the
treasury, we have no right to wonder If find il
deavoring 10 cheat the people The truth is that the
original OF nopartysm clngs 10 all its works. The
movement was conceived in deception. and all its works
partake OF a similar character.
But to return to original purpose. which is not to
repeat our views Of The Presidents PLAN but TO submit the
views Of other journals on that subject And for this
purpose we summon only schig wnesses 10 the stand
and in the first place. would call attention to the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks Of the St Louis Republican Of
June 1llh:
