lished a portrait Of Senator Seward. Now, We have
no hesitation in saying and the Register is doubt
less aware Of the factthat Seward is al this moment
and has been for months, one of the most trusted
friends of Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet and that,
while his Northern organs speaking for the Ad-
ministaon, and exutng over its policy in relation
10 California and New Mexico, Seward himself is
banded with the President and certain members Of
the Cabinet, in systematic attempt to defeat Mr..
Gays efforts to settle the Slavery question, and to
put the distinguished Kentuckian down. We might
give proof upon proof of these facts but the follow
ing will suffice. The Washington Correspondent
Of the Albany Evening Journal-Seward's organ
writing under date June 90, says:
sssThe Sarsaparilla Bill may drag through the
Senate, but if so, it will be beaten in the House.
have had opportunities of conversing, on general
topics, with Secretary Preston, and found him as you
told me, sound and reliable National Whig, as
much so, indeed, as any Northern man should be,
and more SO than many are.
We have gnod news from New Mexico! The Ad-
minisraton policy of non-intervenon seems to work
The Richmond Times leading Whig paper
quotes the above, and adds:
1t is known in Washington that large masses Of
Benton's speech attacking Mr.. Clay (the Sarsapara
speech) have been bought and fianked North by the
very especial friends Of the Cabinet. Mr.. Sesoard
.cnked very large number. All the social circles
ring with Mr.. Preston's abuse of Mr.. Clay
1t has lately become fashionable because ezpedient,
Senator Seward; but these very papers hailed his
election to the Senate triumph of true Whigism,
and we have no doubt the files of the Register
would show that that paper joined in the general
Wing shout that greeted his election.
The Register, if it would be consistent, must not
only denounce Seward but Gen. Taylor and his Ca
binet They are one and the same in policy and ac-
ton, with this difference, that while the Adminstra-
tion operates nsidiously against the South, Seward
comes out boldly, and proclaims, above-board, his
feelings and his plans. They together in regard
to California and New Mexico-together, in the war
they are waging on Henry Clay-together, if not in
their motives, in the results of their policy-together
in such action the Slavery question is calcua-
ted, and only calculated, as Mr.. Clay has shown, to
exasperate existing differences and plunge the Union
and the South in still deeper peril.
If We must tolerate traitors to the Union and to
Southern rights, let them be Northern men like Sew
ard and Van Buren, and not those who, like Taylor,
Preston, and Stanly, drew their first breath Sou
them soil. The former may plead the demands of
their section and the biases of early education, in
justification of their conducts but for the latter there
is excuse apology, protecting shield against
the burning indignation of a wronged and outraged
people. We very far from putting the Editor of
the Register in the catalogue of traitors to his section.
He only endorses the treason, refusing to tell he
abhors the traitor. We believe he is attached to his
State, and would stand by her rights and her mper-
illed honor, if has relations to HE Naturalization and
the policy Of the leading Wigs, who confer and eoun-
sci auh him, ,could permit him. He must take care
of his party, and, for the present. stand by this Free
soil Administration. He no doubt hopes, with Gov.
Manly, MI. Rayner, and others, that at some future
day he will be able to take stand for the South and
do his duty both to his section and the Union but
in the meantime the storm gathers, the hours sweep
by winged with darkness, and that day may
come He who proclaims now, his intention to sub
NIT to Northern aggression, invites and encourages
that aggression; and when it shall come upon him,
and hang over him, and descend upon him with its
crushing weight, he may wrihe and turn and wish it
otherwise from the bottom of his soul-BUT HE WILL
sURsilT AND BECOME SLAVE! All history
teaches this. The Editor of the Register has read
history, and studied it. Let him profit by its teach
ings. -..s .-.
