The New York herald., 1850-03-19

Enq~irer, which is the organ OF the Office holders
this city, came out, yesterday morning, IN a
very bitter denunciatioa Of the Washington Re
public, (and, by Inference, Of General Taylor him.
self,) which it calls "the special organ of the
administration at Washington for some recent
remarks made by the latter journal 10 relation to
the anti-slavery, disunion and dlsorganizing SEN
timents lately expressed by Mr.. Seward, in the
United States Senate What's in the wind now
What Is the matter with the office-holders here
What is the drift with the cabinet at Washington!
In defending Senator Seward against the Just
structures of the Washington Republic, the Courier
and Enquirer undertakes to represent the Senator
| as the great representative of the North on the
distractng topic OF the day, and evidently concurs
| IN the belief which Mr.. Seward has claimed for
himself, that he is not only the representative Of
the State of New York and of the whole North,
| but that he is the representative Of the Almighty
himself, elected by the votes of Heaven, for all
| future time In the Senate of the United States,
and that he possesses more constitutional powers
on the subject Of slavery, dlsunion, &C., than all
the rest of the United States put together In fact,
Senator Sewai reduces this model republic to
simple Mormon Empire, and assumes to be the
Joe Smith OF the same from time to eternity.
Small potatoes have grown big of late.
We are evidently on the verge of some singular
changes or transitions IN the principles and person
nels of the administration Of General Taylor, as
we'll as in the crop of potatoes in New York. The
article in the Courier is extremely violent against
the Rspxbiic and all those who coincide with the
latter journal in their estimate Of Senator Seward.
Who can have written this srticle 2 Mr.. Webb is
absent at the court of Austria, and Mr.. Raymond
is in Albany. In their absence, we suspect that
the Collector, Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Prescott Hall,
the u s Attorney, are the advisers Of the CouytU.
There is, therefore, evident and violent division
between the administration agents of this city, now
holding Office, and the supporters of General
Taylor al Washington, having possession Of power
there. We rather suspect that the disun snist
branch of the cabinet, namely Ewing & Co, from
the extraordinary disclosures of Thurlow Weed,
have been in secret consultation with Senator
Seward, and are congenial with the Collector and
other office holders here. If such Is the case we
may coon expect very sudden and violent dsrup-
ton Of the cabinet, changes among the Office
holders, and their utter and final rejection by the
Senate Of the United States.
At all events, squalls are ahead IN the admins.
tratlon of General Taylor The old hero, we sus-
pecf, is beginning to find out who have been de-
ceivng and betraying him, and there may be
attempts made by the kicked.out portion Of the
cabinet, and some of the office.holders here, to
Tylerse the old hero of Buena Vista, and to cheat
the American people. Can they do III We doubt
it-but We will wait and see the fun.
THE PARKMAN MURDER KR-PRoFEssoR ]. w. WEB
sTER's TRIAL The trial of Professor John w.
Webster, charged with the murder of DIR. George
PaIkmap, which commences to- day in Boston, is
the most extraordinary judicial investigation on
CRIMINAL record, that has ever been known in this
country. The high social, moral and scientific
position of the accused-the distinguished cha.
racter for wealth and professional skill enjoyed by
the deceased, make the whole affair as startling
and full of interest was the trial of the Due de
Praslln, not long ago, In Paris. Indeed, the ar
raignment Of DR.. Webster will create an interest
not confined to this country merely. The scien-
nic Investigations Of the learned Professor, and his
position, on an eminence, in the chief college Of
New England, have brought him into contact and
correspondence with many learned men through
out the world all of whom will be eager to learn
the result OF the charge against him, and who
would rejoice il the character Of the Professor
could once more stand In Its pristine spotlessness.
The Trial Of Dr. valorus P. Coolidge, an ordinary
and very ordinary-medical man, created a great
sensation throughout New England and the United
States but that Of DR.. Webster, though not a
whit less aggravated and singular in Its details,
and, if possible, carrying with 1t charges Of more
hideous preparations, will attract the intelligent
people of every nation. The unhappy man has
been noticed by foreign authors, and by no work
more handsomely than by Humboldt's " Cosmos"
for his scientific attainments and ski; ; and the
stain which will blot his name and memory from
every fair record, should he be convicted of this
diabolical murder, Will be reverted to only as
proof of the uncertainty Of having faith In the pu
ri.y even of the educated Of our race.
We have made arrangements for a telegraphic
report Of this trial, and shall publish il both in
morning and evening editions, giving il to the
public with all the speed that can possibly be used
10 present II IN a satisfactory shape. We mayex
pect despa,ches IN time for evening edition
to-day.
