Whale endeavoring to do this, he nevertheless tries hard to prove that Mr. Fillmore is bound to carry out the plan of the lute administration, in regard to the slavery ques- tion, in connection with the new territories. Let us see by what arguments our friend Thur- low Weed seeks to make it appear that Mr. Fill- more should adopt this course. He says General Taylor's policy had commended itself to the wise and the good, to the friends of the Union and of freedom, all over the republic. In the first place, in answer to this broad assertion, we deny emphati- cally that the plan of settling, or rather of keeping alive, the slavery question, originated with Gene- ral Taylor. That venerable man had no policy in the matter ; but the administration plan as it is call- ed, was cooked up by Mr. Clayton and his associ- ates to accomplish their own purpeses, and with the intention to keep alive the agitation as long as possible. It was no more General Taylor's policy than it was our’s ; and we believe there isnot aman in the country who knows this better than does Thurlow Weed himself. As for the administration plan, which was thus concocted and palmed off on General Taylor, having commended itself to the We never knew so little in- for European iutelligeuce as for by the A.

It apoeers, a8 Was previously reported, that the new President wished the present cabinet to hold on for @ vernod of thirty days, but that they decliaed. It dmeumben!, therefore, on President Filtmore to vabinet before very long. He need not, wowever, be ia agreat hurry about it; the depart- ments can get along without heads fora while. The business of all of them can be conducted by the subordinates until Mr. Fillmore shall have had time gather around him, as constitutional advisers, men entitled to bis confidence, a8 well as that of the country, Which is more than can be said of the Galphin clique. Itisa very important step which Mr. Fillmore is about to take, and it will be the part of wisdomfor him not to be in a hurry. There ts abundance ef good material from which to select acatonet that will assist him in performing the ar- duous duties which have suddenly and unexpected- ly develved upon him. Mauers are rapidly approaching a crisis in the Senate. The Compromise bill will, in all proba- bility, be adopted or rejected within a few days; but we have hope that it will be passed by the Se- uete, at all events. The grand struggle is not far off Amendment after amendment has been pro- posed, discussed, and rejected. The skirm ig has commenced ; the outposts of the advocates and opponents of the measure are engeged, and pretty sven tie bolk of the foree on either side will be eugaged Mr. Hale’s motion to lay the whole sub- jret ou the table, will, on the question being taken, give us the exact state and strength of parties, unless there happen to be some dodging, which we hope will not be the case. The condition of this question at the present time is such, that all parti faust stand up to the rack, * fodder or no fedder. We have hed, God knows, enough of talking and of Buncombe on the matter; and the time has, ac- cording to present appearances, come when mem- bers must show their hands, and vote one way or the other Wf our telegraphic report of the proceedings of the Semate yesterday is correct, Seaator Foote has ta- ken @ Very enomalous and extraordinary position, i relation to the numerous petitions which have been transmutted to Congress, in connection with the 8 quesvon.

It is very well known that it has been repudiated by whigs in Congress as well as out of it, and that but for the cabinet influence which was held m terrorem over certain members of the Senate and House of Re- presentatives, the Compromise bill, introduced and 80 patriotically advocated and favored by Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and other great lights of the whig party, would have received the sanction of ©. gress, at least that of the Senate, long before this. It was the influence of the Galphin cabinet which prevented that consummation so devoutly to be wished. Again Thurlow Weed says, that the late Presi- dent’s policy—that is, the cabinet’s—has been ap- proved by all whig governors and whig legisia- tures, by the whig press with isolated exceptioas, and by the whig people almost universally. This, in plain language, isa “whopper.” The assertion is on a par with the other, and is equally destitute of foundation. In a few instances the Galphia policy may have been approved by whig governors and whig legislatures; but that it has been appro- ved of by the whig people generally, we most eim- phatically deny. Meetings of the people, whigs as well as democrats, but at which the whigs predominated, have been held in many of the large cities, at which resolutions were passed, directly approving of the compromise with which Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster are identified, and by implication, disapproving of the Galphin scheme of keeping open the slavery agitation, and condeimn- ing the administration plan. This is matter of history; but the ultra-abolitionists of the Weed and Seward school, as well as their organs, are not very scrupu- lous in their attention to truth; but, on the contrary, have no hesitation in disregarding it altogether, whenever it suits their purpose to do so. Will it be said at this day, that a cabinet composed of such materials as the men who are now under condem- nation, solemnly pronounced upon by the House of Representatives, would be looked up to as guides, as pilots, as directors of public opinion, at this crisis, in preference to such men as Clay, Webster, and those associated with them, who have grown gray in the service of their country, and whose patriot- ism, honesty and integrity have always deen above suspicion? Yet this is what Thurlow Weed asserts in substance. In connection with the Compromise bill, Weed says, how widely different would now have been the condition and prospects of the repub- lic, had Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster given the great weight of their voices and their votes to the mea, sures of the administration? This is unadalterated trash. Messrs. Clay and Webster are eminently entitled to, and do enjoy, the confidence of the American people, of all classes and parties, ou the slavery question. Whatever propositions they may introduce, or favor, for hea§ing the difficulties which have arisen between different sections of the country—and which have been produced by the Sewards, Greeleys, and Weeds, of the whig party, and by the Van Burens, and other free soilers, of the democratic party—the people know spring from honest and patriotic motives, and the assaults that are, from day te day, made upagPthose two distin- guished patriots, will recoil on the heads of those who make them. Free soilism, Wilmot proviso. ism, and abolitionism in general, are at a low ebb; and their authors, agitators and supporters are about to be hurled from the Tarpeian rock, and consigned to that oblivion of which they have shown themselves so worthy. In after years, when the cnsis in which the country is now placed shall have been passed over in safety, when the clouds and fogs which now obseure the political horizon shall have been dissipated, and the Union shall stand forth again in all its strength and grandeur, the patriotic masses of the American people will know bow to estimate | those who, in the hour of danger and dismay, used their pens, their tongues, and the presses at their command, to create and foster ill feeling between the North and the South, aud did their utmost to produce # dissolution of this glorious confederacy. Mr. Fillmore may expect the opposition of the ultra abolitionists of this State, in the event of his not following the plan of the Galphin cabinet ia connection with the slavery question, bat he ated cure for that. He is now President of the 1 responsible to the people of ail parties for the policy which he may pursue With such men as Clay and Webster to consult with, and with the great heart of the people to svmpa thive with him, he aeed pay no more attention | Oppoeinn the free soil or abolition foritios the North, than he would to the rastiug of wind.

My T. Bigelow Lawrence, in the first place, has a very powerful argument in his favor prepered by Couns sel, which he secretly publishes, running all over | Boston to give the facts confidentially. He bas valled the late Matthew L. Davis, who, in the time of Jeflerson’s administration, no sooner got hold of ' some rich government eeeret, than be stopped every man he met, to make a very important con- fidential communication ope must know what | it was, and yet everybody must be told of its ehar- | acter and import. 80 with Mr. Lawrence. His | | important secret was confided to ‘ various journal- tets ’—the papers were severaldays in the posses, sion of the editors of Boston, (ha! they might “read | andinwardly digest” the curious contents—and the “demands of the press” hed urged Mr. Lawrence to make explanations. This was done for one pur- pose or another, It does not appear in the least probable, that a long decumeni,was prepared to be put up in lavender for use ut some future day. It was made for immediate use ; aud to give a proper color to the whole aflair, “two dozen pink saucers, and one dozen of prepared liquid chalk,” were set down with serupulous exactitude to ume, place, and circumstances. Indeed, from all the circumstances, and from the | that ines sanctify ren ge for not ia I kable an about it, and were it et it what he little ibive letters 2 to va ade not have th on: advantage of im pled thing Law- an at- the Herald, containing from titty to three times | thet number, can any sensible man suppose that | Mr. Lawrence will be able to shift the publication | from his own acts to those of the press? The doe- | ument, toall intents and purposes, had been au- thorized by Mr. Lawrence. It was prepared by his counsel. It was made up from his wife’s pa | pers; and “from the most delicate tinge possible,” to the thickest laying on, including all the pink | saucery of cosmetics, the whole picture, with ail its | beauties, was the production of Mr. Lawrence. He had distributed the thing as a circular in Bos- ton, and, for aught we know, in every city ia the | Union, and he and his friends have oaly to thank themselves that they have now found the whole | story dn print. We had heard one side of the story—had been told, over and over again, by the | Boston papers, that the statement of Mr. Lawrence | would soon be ready, and when it came to us, as al! documents of any importance always do, before | offered to any other newspaper, we published it, at | = considerable cost and inconvenience. | The people of Boston, and the editors thereof, may get up just as much of a hubbub as pleases them, on this point. All that they can do will be a mere ‘tempest in a teapot,” compared with the | excitement, the thunder, lightning, and showers destined to break forth in Louisviile. All the | chivalry of Kentucky will grow red to the eyes, when our columns are well read, and the “ belle of the west” will be the beauteous star that will rise upon the gloom of the storm. Pistols and coflee for ten thousand may be expected; and Mr. Lawrence may as well escape the calls that will be made upon him, by taking a refreshing tour to the Caucasus, or to some other distant place, where neither pistols nor coflee may disturb the quict of his dreams. His statement will be his conso- lation.
