REMOVALS FOR CAUSE.-THE admins
tration has no reserve in defining its posi-
ton on the compromise. We take the
Washington Republic as a good expo.
nent of the views of Mr.. Fillmore and
ms Cabinet; and that paper treats the
compromise as Administration policy, and
opposition to it among the wings as oppo-
silion to the Administration. Lately the
official publication of the laws has been
taken from number of whig papers In
New England, and transferred to other
papers of the same general politics, but
holding different views on the sublect4of
the compromise. The Boston Atlas COM
plains of this course as suicidal, and
asks where is the policy of thus attack
ing friends? The Republic does not
shirk the subject at all, but answers that
these epapers have Eot come up to the
principles of the adjustment" therefore
shey are no longer countenanced by the
Administration.
The Republic adds significant and
important fact, which shows that large
portion of the Presidents party are sup
porters Of his policy. 1t says that in all
these cases 'no change has been made
but in conformity with the recommends
tons of the wings Of the State This
gives encouraging indication that large
masses are preparing to organize them
selves firmly and efficiently against the
