The CABINEr.--Il was confidently said the
other day by the presses in Cincinnati, (which
we're in the confidence Of Gen. Hauison,) that
neither an aspirdHi 10 The Presidency nor mem
Der of Congress should be called into the Cabinet
and that, therefore, neither Mr.. Clay nor MI.
Webster could be thought OF Tor that situation
But the wind now sets 10 another quarter. The
current rumor of the day Is, that Mr.. Webster
both an asprant and member, IS 10 be the Pre-.
mier of the new Administration. The following
comes to US with the air Of authority about 1t
The NEW CABINET.--Until something def
mite as TO the intentions OF the President elect
was known on this subject, we considered The bu.
siness Of cabinet.mGklng about the poorest IN
which an editor could engage. We are now pre-
pared TO speak, because we have authentic inIor.
nation. 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 mi ght choose. The country will rejoice to
learn that he will take the former. II is equally
certain that Mr.. Crttendsn, Of Kentucky, will
receive the post of Attorney. General. Noble
beginnings, these ~ Y. Com. .adr.
Most Of the Wing presses, which have opened
upon The subject, are endorsing this report. The
last Baltimore Patriot says, "Our advlces from
Washington and elsewhere are such as to leave
no doubt that Mr.. Webster will be invited IF he
has not been already to take the Department of
State, MIR. CrIttenden, Attorney. General, and MIR.
Ewing, Postmaster. General. "--Uur own written
and paro accounts from Washington concur in
this statemen--and we have the authority Of
shrewd observer for adding, that Mr.. John Ser
geant is TO become the Secretary of the Treasu-
~.
We have then indeed hopeful prospect before
US No two men, more obnoxious TO The prln.
clples Of the Republican party, could have been
selected out of the whole Union. They are both
of the old Federal sock-deeply dyed in the
principles OF the Hamilton and Adams schools.
Daniel Webster was an enemy OF Mr. Jefferson,
aud Of all his Republican State Rights principles;
an opponent Of Mr.. Madison aud the war Of
lSl2--a vehement supporter of every measure
which would strike down the strict construction
OF the CONSTITUTIONAL champion of the Bank, Of
Internal Improvements, OF Tanf-a thorough
stitch supporter of the most objectlonal portions
OF The ProcamatIon--a man, who voted with the
AboIluo1lsis against all OF Mr.. Calhouns Reso-
luuons--who stopped 10 ta>e fee of ,00Ul for
giving an opinion TO London Banker, on pc.
lllIcal queston--who is loi promoting their stock.
Jobblng sPecuallons, by distributing the proceeds
OF the public lands among those who hold the
State stocks--and man who recently sunk the
uniform character ola Federast, in that of
Charlatan Such is to be The Premier of Gen.
Harrison, as The Wings say
As for MI Sergeant, who may play the second
hddle, he was one OF the most active Missouri
Restrctonsts, aud is bound body and soul TO a
National Bank. From such elements, what are
we to expect but mischief! From such a tree,
what but poison And therefore, we say again
and again, to every Stale Rights man IN the ma.
ton, stand to your arms. BE ye ready to repel
all aggresslons upon the Constitution, come when
hey may, as come they viii, according to all ra-
I'oua calculation. Let every State Rights man
IN the Union unite, and rally together under the
flag of '9S.
We have seen letter from Washington which
says ut Is generally thought that Webster may
choose his own situation under Harrison, and thai
ne iciiI be Premier, Cnltenden Attorney General
and Ewing Postmaster General. Nothing is
conjectured as 10 the other members
II the Cabinet. With the exception Of Ewing,
whose acceptance is doubtful, every man of the
many named for the high station, at home or
abroad, belong TO Congress. Rich. Inq.
