the House. They have brought all the oppro-
brium and disgrace upon the State they
can-they have endeavored BY most glaring
act of usurpation and arbitrary exercise Of pow
er TO break down the Banking Institutions of
the country-they have raised their hands
against the Judiciary of the State, and now
when they but just begin to feel the torrent of
indignation that will be poured upon them from
every part of the land, their first attempt TO
screen themselves is the introduction Of a bill
to aid the State Bank to suspend specie pay
ments, when their every effort has been di-
rectsd towards its destruction. The passage
of such bill will avail them nothing; the peo-
pie can see though the flimsy cobweb that is
wove by the destructives to hide their deformi
ty, and they will be held responsible at the
hands of an outraged constituency. The bill
repeating out of Office the Board of Public
Works, clerks, secretary, engineers, &c, was

40 Yeas to As Nays. This is the fourth at

HARRIsoN,s CABINET.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, a
pretty careful mechanic generally, has turned
Cabinet-maker Its first jobs as follows:
"THE NEW CABINET.-Gntil something
definite as to the intentions of the President
elect was known upon this subject, we consi-
dered the business of cabinet-mdking about the
poorest in which an editor could engage. We
are now prepared to speak, because we have
authentic information. On the first day of the
present session, Daniel Webster was rendered
the situation Of Secretary of State, or Secretary
OF the Treasury, or any other post in the new
administration that he might choose. The
country will rejoice to learn that he will take
the former. 1t is equally certain that Mr..
Crittenden, of Kentucky, will receive the post
efAttorney General. Noble beginnings, these. -
Unless authentic information is to be ques-
toned, this demonstrates what we have all
along believed, viz: that General Harrison will
select his Cabinet himself and do such other
business as properly pertains to his station in
such manner as seems best in his own Judgment
maugre all the newspaper nominations and
newspaper suggestions in the world.
We shall regret deeply to lose Mr.. Webste
from the senate of the United States. To poiD
of dignity. or in respect of reputation he ha
soothing to gain by going into the Cabinet; an

position is one of more efficiency than that q
Secretary of State. He has been hard work

The BAREY CASE-Of this case, similar in some
respects to the DE Hauteville ease recently de-
cided in Philadelphia, the New York Express
says:-'' This case, so long involved in the law,

interest In the language of the law, to all not
of the faculty, it is quite Greek yet we presume
Mrs. Barry is most tender and afeotionate mo-
Their, and the daughter of one of our most res
pectable citizens, Thomas r. Mercein, under
whose roof she is well supported. The child is
feeble, almost an infant, being only about two
years of age, and during the last week its life
was not expected from hour to hosr-requirins
not only mothers fondness and love, but the
first medical aid. Mr.. Barry has large family
of five children by his first wife, and two by his
second, the present Mrs. Barry. His conduct
to her has been such that she felt it necessary for
her happiness to seek shelter in fathers house
The eldest of the children, boy, she has long
since given up to Mr.. Barry. The second, the
present weak and feeble infant, he now seeks to
tear from her, to take to Nova Scotia. The law
may give him this right, and justice and human
ity may have different opinion too. The ques-
ton is now before the Court of Enors-we trust
it will be decided in accordance with the wishes
of those who are best acquainted with the cir
eumstances Of the case"
