NEW YORK HERALD.
New York, Thursday, December 8, 1sAo.



The next cabinet and the new appointments con-
tinue to be the leading topics of discussion in all
political circles On thi. subject, we understand,
from good authority, that the friends of Mr.. Web
ster expects Gen Harrison to appoint the former to
the State Department. Dir. Webster has been here,
for several daysa the Aston House. and it is under
stood that he gives his concurrence to this appoint
ment His friends repudate laug Oh and ridicule The
idea that either Mr. Clay or he Should be excluded
from the cabinet on of their high talents,
or be cause they may aspire to the succession
And certainly the idea would seem to be very alb
sS-s, that because a man is fit for the presidency,
he is therefore unfit for cabinet office.
Bot we suspect the preposterous nature Of this
reasoning from the usual indirection OF party
poi;,ies-the policy of moving one way and looking
another The confidential friends of General Harri-
,cr at the Harrisbargh Convention gave a carte
blanche 70 the confidential friends of MIR. Clay, and
m that paper the latter wrote 'e candidate for the
secession meaning that MIR. Clay should have AL
tn force and inlu.nce Of General Harrisos's admin
s tion for the succession provided the latter was
nominated, aud elected over MIR. Van Buren,. This
we know to be a fact. According to this arrange
uent the friends Of Mr.. Clay have adapted the po-
Hcv of excluding both from the cabinet, under the
belief that il will put Mr.. Clay in the line Of the sa-
erifics, and set aside Mr. Webster's Claims. The
real reason cannot be stated-therefore Fictitious
one must be given.
We have all the particulars of these gotations,
at Harrisburgb, names and conditions, WHICH we
shsll give tomorrow In the meantime, although
the friends Of MIR Clay and those of General Harri-
son may have agreed to such an arrangement, it Is
no, vet known neither G. sneral Harrisoa was apar-
" 20 it, This we shall Investigate.

Immediately formed; they assumed the lead of the

elections sought to control the state admins
tratisn; and knowing that this administration would
have great deal of patronage to distribute, this
clique organized the gigantic system Of election
frauds, which has been only partially developed;
and, what was the browning act of rascality, they
made these very frauds the means (ander the beg
carly name Of "services rendered to party') BY
which they claimed the various Offices for rewards
aud thus controlled entirely the appointing power IN
this state.
Look at all these things. Then look carefully at
the evidence of Bowen, Blachford, Wetmore,
Glentworth, Draper Co. And say to what ex-
tent they were connected, and how lar their hands
are free from the stain of these disgraceu transac
tons
More than this, we see that the same corrupt in
huence is at last dragged into courts Of justice,
and made to operate upon grand uries, and prevent
them from doing their duty It's also made to oPe'
rate upon the Governor, to prevent him from re-
moving Gleatworth. And, if We 60 on in this way,
the administration of General Harrison will be

or were not connected with Glentworth in these
frauds on the ballot box, furnishing money, and cor
rupting the elective franchise, all we have to say Of
Mr. Blatchford, Mr.. Bowen, Mr.. Wetmore, Mr.
Draper, MIR. Havens, or the whole that have been
mixed up with Glentworth in procuring money, or
furnishing him with means to BRING men from Phia-
dephia to this city, all we have to say is, that we
hope there will yet be virtue enough found IN
grand iury to do them and the community equal JUS
tice Ifthey are innocent, want to see 1t proved
by full and impartial trial; if they are guil'y,we
want TO see it proved in the same way, and justice
done them although they are wealthy.
But, on the other hand, as poiticians-impudentiy
affecting to control the appointments to office under
General Harrison or Governor Seward, they are en-
titled to no regard-nor to the slightest counenancs
from any one. They only merit, as they will re-
ceive, the indignant rebuke Of every honest man in
the community.

THE NORTH EASTERN BoUNDARy.--The st.
John Courier states that the British Commissioners
appointed to run the boundary line between the
American possessions of Great Britain and the Uni
ted States have flashed their labors for the present
season, ing completed the survey OF the due
north line from the river ST. John tn the Beaver
stream, on the Metis. From thence the Commits
sioners proceeded up the St. Lawrence to River
Ouelle with the int enton Of passing up that river
and examining the highlands at its sources. They
started the last week in October for that purpose,
but heavy and continued snow storms forced them
10 reInquish their operations. From the river Ou-
ellie, the Commissioners proceeded to Quebec; from
thence, Lieutenant Broughton, r E., one ofthe Com
missioners, went to New York, on his way to Eng

American Commis sioners have also been active m

nearly the whole extent Of country between Wood
stock and the st. Lawrence, which is represented
as a most desolate and barren region Nothing but
boys, lakes and marshes, with some broken and ir-
regular ridges of highlands, covered with a stuEted
growth Of moth clad trees meet the eye after leaving
