l. subject of Cabinet appointments The cast Of the
e characters continually shifting, according TO the
J. fancy ofthe protector. Mr.. Tazewe, for example
Is has passed through various shades of appointments
l. He has been nominated in the papers as Secretary
Is of State-of the Treasury of the Navy and as
he Attorney General But the fact is, that those who
|, know the least about such matters affect to know
&C the most. General Jackson's most intimate friends
l. dscaim all acquaintance with his wishes while his
opponents seem to pronounce, excathedra upon the
J. composition of his Cabinet
Y General Jacksons duty lies plain before him.
AZ He must place around him. men of high talents and
at virtue, who will look to the great interests of the
st country and the glory Of his own Administration
q men, who are prepared, in head and in heart, to
III give us wise, frugal and republican administration
al NOT men, who are anxious to promote their own
e ambitious pretenslons. General jackson will never
