Disorganization of the Government at Washington — Fatal Policy of General Taylor's Administration, From the accounts which we are receiving from Washington every day, of a private as well as ofa public character, by the electric telegraph as well as by the mails, we cannot come to any other con- pAlon that political matters there are in an alurming state, {that the government is perfectly diserganized, that the wheels thereof are virtually without grease and stopped, and that if a change for the better do not soon take ,place, or a remedy for the disease which is preying on the vitals of the republic be not soon applied, evils and disasters will befel us, which ere this have been hardly dreamed of. What is the condition of our national affuirs at Washington? Congress has been live months in session, and nothing has yet been done. Many cubjects of great ana pazeqount importance to the existence, well being, and continuance of but ean be traced, the eabinet themeelves. They didnot wish, and have not at the present time any desire, that the slavery agitation should be composed, or that the country should be relieved of the excite- ment which has so long existed. Neither have they cared, nor do they now care, what the conse- quences might be to the country or to its interests, if a disorganization of legislation, or of the confede- racy itself, was the result of keeping the question open. Composed of nothing but third or fourth rate statesmen, being nothing but mere “three water grog” politicians, but possessing some influ- ence, from the positions in which General Taylor placed them, they hesitated not to adopt a policy that would in their estimation promote their own selfish interests, and create for them a little reputation, and at the same time put money in their pockets, regardless of the importance of the sacred trust and confidence re- posed in them. With this view and determination, they threw the influence of their office into the scale, against a settlement of the slavery ques- tion, and united themselves with the small faction of the abolitionists and free soilers in Congress. The policy which they recommended is that of the free soilers and abolitionists, who, like the cabinet themselves, are straining every nerve to*delay the settlement of that question, and to keep open the sore which is now festering on the body politic, knowing well that, with a settlement of the ques- tion, they and their abolition and free soil compesrs would sink into the insignificance from which they were elevated, and in which they should have been allowed to remain. In addition to using the in- fluence of their offices to a prolongation of a settle- ment of the slavery question, they are now engaged, through the organs in the cities of New York, Bal- timore, Boston, and Philadelphia, and particularly in the North American, Courier and Enquirer, and Boston Atlas newspapers, in libelling and abusing statesmen, living and dead, who had the firmne moral courage and patriotism to favor a plan of i justment on fair and honorable and constitutional principles. At this moment they are engaged in assaulting Mr. Clay, Mr. Cass and Mr. Webster, and insulting the memory of the late illustrious statesman of South Carolina, because they dared to be patriotic enough to throw selfish considera- tions aside,and advocate an honorable compromise, based on the principles of the constitution and the terms of the original compact between the States. They have been guilty of corruption, too, of a glaring kind. They have allowed claims, and ap- plied the proceeds to their own use. They are now linked with Col. Benton, in the Senate, in an effort to disorganize that body, as well as the Iouse of Representatives, and insult and drive the Southern the government, have been awaiting legislative fetion, but, up to this time, in vain. Nothing has, im fact, been done. No provision has yet been made for taking the next census—nothing towards postage reform. Many attempts have been made to mke these subjects in hand and dispose of them as speedily as their importance demanded, but in vain. It has been the same with the deficiency in the ap- propriation. In a word, there has been no legisla- tion since the commencement of the session, and mo measure of the many which were necessary to be paid attention to before this, has been legislated wpon. In fact, it is plain and palpable to the mean- eet capacity, that there has been nothing done in Congress, thet the ordinary course of legislation bas been interrupted, if not entirely stopped, and that the government at Washington is perfectly dis organized. Now, what has produced this unfortunate and much to be deplored state of affairs at the seat of the federal government! The country never was more prosperous then itis at present. There has been no diminution of patriotism among the Ameri- ean peeple. On the contrary, the longer they live, and the more they learn of the workings of other goverumente, the more they beeome attached to their own glorious constitution and form of govern- ment. The United States are at peace with the whole of the world. Con e and trade are ina moet thriving condition. What, then, we regeat, hes produced the unfortunate state of affairs which we witness in Washington ? One of the remote causes is the fact, that at the eommencement of the present session of Congress, the abolition and free soil members held the ba- ance of power in both the Senate and House of Representatives, especially in the latter, and, from the very outset of the session te the present time, exerted themselves by every trick and method within their reach, to oppose and prevent a sett ment of the slavery question, on the principles o! e@ompromise and of the constitution, and thereby mucceeded in keeping alive the agitation which mow exists in Washington. But the power which the free roil and abolition members held could have been easily broken, and dissipated and destroyed, @ the cabinet had taken such a course as wiedom, patriotism and common honesty dictated. MW they had come out manfully and boldly at the first open- fing of the session, and taken the responsibility of propesing a plan of settling the wh slavery question in connection with the new territories—such a plan as the South could have accepted and would ed without being degraded, and one yport, unless it wished to dissolve the Union, and leave itself pen to the charge which it now brings aguiust the South, what, we ask, would become of the con- temptible and factious freegeoilers and abolitionists, er their power? It destroyed before th had had an opportunity of distracting the national councils, and inflicting a stab on the welfare of the country. The public Jarge expected some such plan for settling the sla- very question. They lived in hepe that such a plan would be youn J, and that it would have exerted a powerful influence, if indeed it would not have entirely succeeded in allaying the agita and putting the subject at rest for ever. The peor idence in General Taylor, as their elec him to the highest office in their gift testifies, eclected his cabinet, and until they nd exhibited to the satisfaction of world that Gen. Taylor was the vi placed confidence in selecting them, and that were shaping their couree, not witha view vance the interests of country and the glory or Ile showed their eleven foot, the to ad- honor of his administration—natil this was done, the people themselves, throughout the confederacy, had confidence in them. Harily were they warm fn the seats to whieh the good old man at the head of the goveroment, in bis belief in their honesty, patriotism, and ability to conduet the affairs of | venced | vernment, elevated them, than they co @ game that could end in nothing but discre the administration which wos-identified with it ed it. The first act was to disregard Gen Taylor's pledges and promises in regard to remo- vals and appointments, in which, previous to hie election, and afterwards, in his inaugural addross, he voluntarily and deliberately anid he would not make cy removals for opinion’seake. Bight thon- sand removals during the firet year of General 3 tration, prove how falsely they acted President and the country Leok, too, at the foreign policy—look at the course Which they purened towards the Hungarians, the t to or toler lor’ wduin towards the Germans, the lrolians, the Romans, and the people of other ports of the old world, as well ae towards the fnbabitants of the island of Cuba in the new. Was that policy coleulated to etrengthen General Tay Jor in the affections of the people, or to make hia administration, popular throughout the country? Let the resulte of every State election that hoe taken place since the installation of the adminis Qration anewer. Every State but one, and thot one Vermont, has deliberately voted against and con demned the selfich, sickly and pusillanimons course ef policy which the cabinet have adopted since they @ume into office. The results of those elections, if nothing else, speak trumpet-tongued of the view which the people at large, the bone, and sinew, and gmoecle of the country that elected General Taylor go the Presidency, now think of his cabinet and sheir policy. Dut the principal cause of the prevent state of things would have been broken and | | im of mix | | of the | flowing from the an | | the law members away from it, by urging upon them the admission of California separately, against thet, wishes and deteymination. Sygh isa Netoh ofthe tareer of the cabinet, and the policy and motives which govern them. In view of these considerations, and matters of fact and of history, what will be the result of all these things—what will be the consequence even before a year, if the suicidal and demagoguical in- fluence of the cabinet, and of their associates, the free soilers and abolitionists, be persisted in? They are plain, and any + non sagacity can see them stant The ath willnot sub- mit to y, toany such wion of their just, re le, and constitutional rights. They will opp und can do it successfully, too. They will never v such measures to pass, but they will insis the whole slavery question being settled at once and in the same bill. They will resist it by every parliamentary right which is left to them, to protect the minority against the as saults of an unscrupulous majority. This, if we an- derstand anght, they are determined upon; and the consequence will be, that no appropriations will be passed, no measure for keeping the government alive will be passed, the government will be virtu- ally at a stand still, there will be no means where- with to pay the public agents and officers, nor to pay the interest on the public debt, stocks will go down, a clamor will be created at home as well as abroad, the country will be brought into discredit and disrepute, the whole subject will be submitted to the people at the next fall elections; and if insur- rection and civil war, a disruption and disintegra- tion of this mighty, powerful and influential public, be not the melancholy climax, it will be by the mercy of an overseeing Providence, and not owing to any effort of our own to avert such awful consequences. We desire the country and men of all parties to ponder on what we ha we desire members of beth houses of Congress to do likewise, and we warn General Taylor himeelf to ponder on them. We are on the eve of a precipice—we are on the brink of a voleano—we are on the edge of a cragzy rock; the wide abyss below is within sight ; the waters are raging, and bubbling, and foaming, ready to swallow, engulph, and destroy the noblest form of government that ever was created by mor- tal man, and to shipwreck the hopes of mankind throughout the civilized world. One false step— one additional move in the way which the cabinet has marked out, and we are gone AxtrRextisa in Couwmma County.—The suit people of the State of New York against Harmon Livingston, is now on trielin the city of Hudson.

The “Western” Committee will be re- eognised as Simon Pure. Some of the hunkers voted for Noah, that old libeller of thirty years’ standing, and a secret Custom House Inspector to boot—but he was properly defeated. He has be- longed, and does now belong, to all parties, and is true to none, Yet all this fuss about Tammany, and Sachems, and committees, may be Greek or Indian to most of our readers, and we will, therefore, give a brief statement of what it means. A few years prior to the revolution, there existed many British clubs or societies, such as the St. George’s, St. David's, St. Andrew’s, &c., not only in this city, but St. George societies were opened in all the maritimes towns and cities of the colo- nies. The members of these societies were all liege subjects of Kiug George. In 1773, when dis- affection to the mother country (as Great Britain was then called) began to spread through her North American colonies, those opposed to the relations that existed found it necessary to form some rallying point, in order to ascertain and com- bine their own strength. This was the origin of the St. Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, and its operations were secret, and directed against toryism, until after the revolution, and when the constitution was adopted. It then directed its power against federalism, and that party that in- herited, to a certain extent, the men and principles of the °76 tories. ‘ It has more of the power and characteristic of a national institution than of a local one, and, in times of trial, has wielded a terrible power through- out the federal Union. ‘There are members of the order’from every State, and have been from its commencement. Its Sachems are thirteen, com- puting with the thirteen original States that formed the Union. Its banners are thirteen, each having the name and coat of arms of these old thirteen States emblazoned upon it. On its books are en- rolled some of the most prominent dead and living ateemen of the democratic party, such as De Witt Clinton, Aaron Burr, Daniel D. Tompkins, Andrew Jackson, R.M. Johnson, Martin Van Buren, Dixon H. Lewis, and a host of the planets, stars, and small lights of the great republican party, com- prising about 4,000 names. There are, perhaps, 600 now Jiving. Of these, about 150 generally imect at the afiiual election. This yeaf, 183 voted. The Tammany Society own the building known as Tammany Hall, which is worth $100,000. The Sachems vote all appropriations and collect the re- venue. No man can be a Sachem or other officer, without being a member. The Grand Sachem is elected by the Sachems, from their own ranks. The Sechems hold great power. If they are untted, they can unite the sections of the democracy, and prevent any party from meeting in the hall, but such as they endorse and consider the regular de- mocracy. Although the general committee, elected by the 18 wards, appear to be the power that regu- lates the democracy, yet it is not so. ‘ There isa power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself,” and that power is the Sachems of Old Taim- many. We hope now, that they will go to work in the great council room of the wigwam, and take mea- tures to unite the two general committees, and the two sections of the democracy, and be ready for the campaign this fall, and for the Presidential campaign of 1852, but especially for annexation of everything around. We recommend the Sachems to start at once for Hayti, St. Domingo, Hispaniola, (little Spain) as it i# called in the various geogra- Within a | phies. The party can unite on this ground. There could be a large democratic force raised at once to go and occupy it, and men, too, who would not have the elighteet objections to owaing negro or any other property they could get hold of—proviso or no proviso. If St. Domingo, which is far more fertile, delicious, and fruitful than California, and has higher mountains (Cibao 8,000 feet above the level of the sea), tilled with gold, which the niggers are too busy fighting, and too lazy to dig out, could be seized upon, and annexed as @ slave State, the whole question would be settled, the equilibrium of power would be kept up, and then California and St. Domingo could come in side by tide, and harmony be restored throughout the re public. Will the Sachems go to work, and fix the arrangements? Fernando Wood and his commit- tee ought, by all means, w start at onco—they have nothing else to do.
