The Truth Is Mighty, and win Prevail ut last.
The Republic of yesterday, in repellng the n,imalion
contained in the speech Of the Hon. Mr. Mangum, of the
Senate. charging the present wing administration with
premature activity in advancing The claims OF President
Fillmore, makes the following precious confession:
The fact is perfectly well known that here in Washing
under the very eye OF the administration there
leading officers who have been for months actively
engaged, and who engaged In welding all the in
uence and patronage Of their places in favor of the dis
ngushed under whose banner the honorable senator
has gaIanty enlisted. They left pursue their
unmoesed because il has been part Of the pol
icy Of the present administration TO interfere with the
else of private judgment among any section Of the party
which has elevated II TO power"
When Gen. Taylor was elected, It's within the knowl
edge of the whole country that the prescription OF dem
ocatc holders, which carried to extent
before witnessed, justified the ground that they
had taken part the elections, and for that
disqualified and incompetent. Now, however, what
democratic fault is wing virtue Under the eye Of
the President, it is admitted that the leading employees
of the government are busily engaged in eectioneer
ing 10 promote the prospects of candidate for the pres
dency who is brought forward by the very infu.
ence which compelled General Taylor TO violate his
most solemn pledges. The leading organ of the Pres
ident is no longer able TO conceal the fact that the
is active dong the thing. If The country
had depore the prospect of civil war brought
about by the bad counsels which controlled General
Taylor-a civil war which MIR Webster has so often adj
verted in apologzng TO his wing friends for his
on the Compromises there not much more reason for
alarm when we find the wing party only prepared to
rein state those magn counses but 10 Danish into gno
BILE retirement the patriotic sentiment which resisted
them'
How often have the Republic aud the Iaiegeneer CON-
planned Of us when declared that both Mr. Fillmore
and Mr. Webster their friends and had
not the power TO divert from its purpose OF disunon the
anti slavery spirit which had crept into the wing party,
and which had taken possession Oft in all the stronghods
of power They denied our premises-they paated the
glang evidence which nearly all the executive appoint
men,s afforded of the complete asceudancy Of such men
Messrs Seward and Johnston and they have persisted
in saying to the country that the evils occasoned by the
agitation of the subject OF slavery attributable
mainly to the democratic party II vain tina, we
referred to the organization which snached the Buffalo
platform from those who were disqualified by their
cedents from standing upon it; it was in vain that we
cited the fact tina, Mr. Van Buren, treated, whilst
standing upon that platform, as fugitive from the demo-
cratic party. and that the wing party denied the right
lar old-fasbioned, and orthodox wings nothing would
satisfy the organs Of the administration bat the bold i'm
parchment Of all the logic which did not accord nvinc
bity TO The wing party.
The Republic went even so far as TO ,aunt us with the
declaration, That completely the wings enirenched
by the compromise that they could now take
the principles OF the democratic party and administer the
government, acting 10 this respect those conquerers do
