THE CABINET.

II h rumored IN the papers. with some
apparently well founded grounds, that the
following Individuals VII compose the Ca
hinet of Mr.. Adams. Henry Ciay, Of Ron
tuckv, Secretary oil State; Laagdot
CheteS, "f ennsylsanla, Secretary of The
Treasury james barbour, OF Virginia, Sc
cfetary of War; Hitlidm Uut, Of Virginia,
Attorney General John Mclean, Of Uhio,
Post Master General. All these gentlemen
belong 10 the democratic tchool, and their
appointments viii 10 doubt give general
satisfaction. That of Mr.. Clay viii BIZ less
acceptable than the others, because lac has
provoked, by his independent aud fearless
conduct On The presidential election, the
enlnlty OF all the unrcfleellng parizuns Of
Messrs. Crawford and Jackson. The &C
eeptauce ofthc Socretaryship by this gen
tleman IS already taken by soinc as prUot
positive that ne is guilty Of the charge pre-
icrred against him BY Mr. kemer. To Us,
on the contrary, II is The elearesi evidence
of his innocence, If, indeed, any such ov'
dence were wanting, more than the kuown
honesty OF bis character, both private and
political. In accepting the appointment,
MIR. Clay has acted precisely AS he ought
10 have done. lie has done what he would
have done, II Mr.. kremrr nor bis letter had
ever existed, and ii the rumots,Y which we're
wholly bascIeSs, of IA bargain between him
aud Mr.. Adams, bad n.yor been circu
lated. But il is said that the Secretaries
should be- both politically and personally
friendly towards the President. Although
this comes with a bad grace fIom Mr.
raw ford'S friends, who hnolo that that
gentleman was hostile 10 many of the mea
sules Of Mr.. M0nroe's administration, aud
who have reason TO believe that there was
also some personal hostility between them,
aud hO continued to relaln hls oillcP, yet
we admit its truth. But what evidence Is
there Of any such hostility between Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Adams +? Why, his famous
declaration OF his intention nj some future
day, To show uhdt2 Not that Mr.. a. had
been guilty of misconduct IN tue ncgotia
lions of Ghcnt but lbal in bis Book, writ
ten in reply to jonathan Russell, l." and
IN the appendix he thought
" there Ntlc some errors mo doHbi uain
tentionnl) both as 10 matters Ul Tact aud
matters Of opinion," which he would NJ
some future day, when bis motives would
moi be liable to be mlsinlerpreied, take up
on himself TO correct" In this letter no
sentiment Of hostility is indicated towards
Mr.. Adams on The contrary, he manlesIs
very kind feelings, aud an anxious desire,
while he corrected error, 10 do SO with u
friendly hand. What is there IN this which
should prevent his acceptance of the Secre
taryship ol State Certainly nothing, in
our opinion aud we ere therefore heartily
slud, that he has consented to I'll that lin
POI lant station.

To perform all you swore, you meier come for to so.
When you passes our house, where looks thro the win.

When die, pray let me be put in a hurn!
You know adore you, so pray don't expose me:
And don't show my letters to nobody-dont;
For perhaps you may show them 10 knows me
And never will bear to be laughd at won't.

From the .Nev FORK Commercial advertiser.

From the .Nsac York Commercial .4drertiser.
There is word that rends the heart
w hich all have said and all must say
Which breaks the bands Of love apart,
And drives the dream of bliss away
And cen when youth all buoyant springs
Fresh into life, and gaily sings
Light as the wood lark on the spray,
That dreaded word may then be said,
Sad as the anthem DER the dead.
A word-that makes US sadly own,
That all our dearest joys are vain,
Which bids US trace our steps alone
Upon the fnty path OF pain -
Which, uttered by the parting breath,
When the soul feels the chill of death
And cannot glow with lite again,
Commands the tears of love to flow
For what hath been its Joy below.
A word-that breaks the fond caress
OF youthful hearts aud happy hours,
Which makes the world wilderness
Devoid of verdure-sun-and flowers
The blighted leaves bestrew the ground
The fatal ivy wreathng round,
O'.rshadowing the broken bowers,
Where once the rose and lilly grew
And sparkled in the morning dew.
A word-thst sewers every tie
We fondly hope will last for aye
Which d,ns the light of beauty'seye
And chases all her smiles away:
Which marks affection on her brow,
And wrings with pain her breast of snow
What word is this that all must say. -
Youth, manhood, age ye all can tell!
I, is thet fatal word, FAREWELL!
