There is not a single man in the Cabinet whose
skirts are free from the contamination Of Northern
or Southern ultrasm. Marcy, the Secretary of State
is looked upon with extreme distrust and aversion
BY the New York Union locofocos of the Dickinson
stamp. Campbell and McClelland have still the
Stains of Free Soil mud on their garments. Dobbln
is a Secessonist. Davis, every one knows, oppos-
ed the Compromise TO the bitter end. And Caleb
Cushing of the principal actors in getting
ID the Free Soil and Democratic coalition in Massa-
chuse,ts. This unique and curious compound of a
Cabinet is the precious composition of Union and
Compromise President. Register.
Gov. Marcy steadily opposed the Winot Pro-
yso, against which, when first presented, no Wing
member of Congress from the free States voted;
and Gov. Marcy. maintained, from the outset, the
Consttutionality and expediency of the fugitive
slave law, for which but three Wings in the House
from the free States voted. Gov. Marcy is aud has
been sounder on the question Of Slavery than Mr..
Fillmore, Gen. Scott or any other Wing mention
ed in the last Wing National Convention for the
Presidency at any rate, it will not be necessary,
If he should ever be brought forward by his party
for the Presidency, that his associate the ticket
should come forward and argue to show that he
sound, as Mr.. Graham did for his associate, Gen.
Scott. If Gov. Marcy is looked upon with distrust
and aversion by Mr.. Dickinson and bis friends, it
is not his fault He is just as true to the Consti-
tutional rights Of the South as Mr.. Dickinson.
These New York feuds involve more of ambition
than of principle and the most that can be said
| by Southern Wing prints against Gov. Marcy is,
that after the passage of the compromise meas
ures" he labored in good faith to restore harmony
to his party in that State. If he did not entirely
succeed in his efforts, it was because he was not
met in the spirit by which he was himself govern
ed in the matter.
Mr.. Campbell, it is we'll known, was opposed to
the Wilmot Proviso and in favor of the fugitive
slave law. He is Democrat of the Buchanan
and Forney stamp, and consequently above sus-
picion.
Gov. McClelland was elected Governor CT Mich
igan on the " compromise platform. He is known
to be sound upon the fugitive-save law, the only
one of the measures which remains to be executed.
| We have never heard that he wrote such thing
as an "Erie" letter in. favor of the abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia and Of the
slaverade between the States or that he wrote
to the people of Boston, or any other City, that
Slavery is an evil" to be endured rather than
defended and maintained.
Mr.. Dobbin is neither Secessionist nor Sub
missionist. He was opposed to Abolition aggres-
sions and raised his voice against them and he
contributed, by demanding the Constitutional
rights of the South, to the aid of such men as
Fierce, Buchanan, and Douglas in their efforts to
prostrate Abolitionism in the free States, at time
when the Register and many Southern Whig lead
ers were encouraging the Abolitionsts by un-
mani ly. spirit of submission to these aggressions
A"Secessionist" was one who deemed the " COM
promise measures too intoerable to be borne, and
who was in favor of seeding from or dissolving
the Union on account Of them; and the Registe.
well knows Mr.. Dobbin held no such opinion and
advised no such course. He maintained, what he
still maintains, that the Union is a confederation
and not consolidation; and that the States have
rights and sovereignty, which neithes. be VIC,
lated nor disregarded with safety to our government
"A bargain broken on one side, " said Daniel
"ebster5 is bargain broken on both sides.
poeS the Register dispute that MIR. Dobbin is q
pe''er Union man, and has been uniformly, thar
'ne 1ator OF the Register or those for whom tha
paper speaks. The allegation of that paper thai
ne Is "Secessionist," or Disunionist, " will be
credited nowhere. 1t is not only false, but ridicu
l0usly false. No man, out of Bedan, - will be
