The above paragraph we copy from the official r..
port OF the speech recently delivered in the Senate
ny MI Mangum, of North Carolina, on the Presi.
Dental question. ''''
With regard to the alleged power of the Office.
holders In securing nomination, Mr.. Mangum must
be well aware that most of these ofce.holdes were
appointed by General Taylor's administration; thai,
by lar the larger number of them not supposed 10
symPathize with Mr.. Fillmore in his course upon The
Compromise, and that their power is employed in
favor of the candidate who is the first choice of Mr.
Mangum. If there were ever an Administration
which has sought to maintain itself upon its measures
and principles, without 10 extraneous means
of influence, it is the Administration of President Fill
more.
1t has left every Wing in Office entirely free 10 e1
eTclse his own sense of duty and policy with regard
10 all public questions The fact is perfectly well
known that here in Washington, under the very eye
of the Administration, there are leading bureau off,
GERS who have been for months actively engaged and
who are now engaged, in welding all the influence
and patronage of their places in favor of the distn
guIshed man under whose banner the honorable Sen
ator has so CALAMITY enlisted They left 10 Pur
sue their own unmoested, because it has been
no part OF the policy of the present Administrator
to interfere with the exercise Of private judg men
among any section of the party which has elevated
it to power.
If the Administration is sustained, it will be Ow.
ing to the intrinsic virtues and merits of its policy
The appreciation extended to il has been the unbought
favor of the people, not the servie echo OF Official
voices.
We are at loss to understand what Mr.. Mangun
intends by the 'premature activity" OF the Pfet
dents friends. We have seen no signs of suchac
tivity, unless the popular demonstrations may be 50
considered, which have induced even MIR. Mangnn
to proclaim that he IS understands, from evidences
that he - cannot question, that a majority Of me
people of North Carolina prefer the present PRESIDE"
for the succession as their first choice
Washington Republic
There are two important admissions IN Inc l0fegO'
ing extract from President Filmore'S organ lHs
first is, that Gen. Taylor appointed to office Inc l'
States, the friends of Seward and the enemies OIL S
I" compromise" who are now engaged in proving" '
fact by eectioneering for Gen. Scott; and Inc se'0"-
is, that - LEADING bureau officers " in MasnlngYT
IS under the very eye of the Administrator u"
loaDed to bring their official patronage and 'gfuens
to conflict ,OiA the freedom Of elections. Oh WING
gerry! Whiggery!!
Wing meetings have been held both In hass an
West Florida, at which Mr.. Fillmore was nonI T.
for the Presidency, and Gov. Graham for the ""
Presidency. nfS''r Ia
True enough; but then Wing meeting "a' w..
