u The New York Herald gives the following
IN relation TO the movements in the Cabinet. We
know not how much reliance is TO be put on the
information.
Highly Important from Hoshington.--"W
have received intelligence from Washington of the
highest importance. The President and the ma
Joriy Of hls cabinet, have at length formally aban-
doned the ultra opinions Of Kendall and Blair
at appears that during the last month, there
have been many cabinet consultations on the pre-
sent state OF affairs. In these discussions, Mr..
Polnselt the great leader in favor of " cred
It system" and opposed 10 an exclusive metallic
currency, or tho entire separation Of the govern
ment and general finances of the country. Mr.
Forsyth gradually Appropriated to Mr. Poinseit,
and Mr.. Attorney General Butler also, in conse-
quence Of letters from New York, slowly went
over to the same opinion. Mr.. Kendall made
d
irlgue and the machinery Of distant presses, to
ffightsn the President and the cabinet from their
position. For. several weeks this petite guerre
vas kept up Mr.. Woodbury. looked on ill at
length the latter gave in his adhesion TO the policy
Of Mr.. Ponseti, he is the master spirit Of the
cabHet
" Mr. Van Buren, said he was always in favor
Of the credit and banking system, udiciously
founded on a specie basis and when he saw the
catastrophe tina, befe his Safety fund system, he
inconsolable.
We hear further, that instructions have been
given TO MIR. Kendall, that hereafter be must con
hne himself 10 his official duties, or resign lie
is no longer a member of the cabinet, and his in
iuence over the Globe is arrested forever Mr..
Sanford of New York is now the editor of that
PRINT and in consequence OF this new position in
the Cabinet the Globe has distinctly acknowledged
the utility of the banking system. We cannot
dispense NTH The use Of banks is its remarkable
language. The Richmond Enquirer has also as
sumed the same tone, aud in less than one month
an entire change in the views Of the sdminis,ra-
ton party will pervade the whole country.
There never was such revolution OF opinions
in any cabinet in 90 short a time us the present
Silas Wright, Senator Benton, Amos Kendall and
other radicals, are gone forever. The government
Is now in the hands OF Mr.. Riycs, Mr. Poinsett,
and the friends OF credit system founded on spe-
eie. Further particulars anon"
liza Business CoareHiiou, composed Of dele.
gates from all parts Of the Union, commenced its
session lately, al the State House in Philadelphia
The United States Gazette says of it,
The lisi Of delegates SO far as they have come
to oar knowledge, contains smes generally known,
names OF men remarkable rather for business Than
politics and We heartily trust that their delibera.
lions vii be productive Of permanent benefit to
themselves and the communities which they rep
fesent-bu, should they iai entirely in their at.
tcmpts 10 ad business by their resolutions and
recommendations, they sill lind that their con-
veutlsn will, from the association OF business men
from iicrcn. portions OF the unlon, be productive
Of more personal and general advantages OF which
hey had ever thoughl--iuictcourse among such
men is always productive Of good, and we hence
cuulJchily predict most important benefits from
this ConYtniloD.
