and Purposes.
1t will be seen by the remarkable developments
made by Daniel Webster at Boston, that the recent
views which we gave of the policy and prospects of
the Administration at the approaching session of
Congress were correct to the letter. That policy is
wise, honest and patriotic in the extreme. Let US
proceed with further views
There have been great many rumors about re-
movals and changes in the Cabinet, and new ap-
pointments in high places but doubt if any will
take place until after the fall elections According
TO present appearances, Mr.. Webster will retain his
place in the Cabinet for some time longer and if
any early change takes place. it will be in the Trea
sury Department, owing to the peculiar unfitness'of
Mr.. Forward to fill the duties of that office 1t is
certain that Mr.. Gushing will not go in so long as
Mr.. Webster chooses to remain there. And we
sincerely trust that the President may be induced by
to attempt it, and thatn clique, or party or
persons, OF any kind may seek to drive MriWeb
ser from the Cabinet so long as he thinks proper to
remain in it, and exert his stupendous talents, as he
has done, for the general good of the country with
out regard TO any party, clique, or set of what
ever. AT any rate, we hope Mr.. Webster knowing
the great services which he can perform for the
country, will maintain his place and his proud posi-
ton. Mr.. Gushing may probably beIcalled on to ex-
Mr.. Cass, who has desire 10 return home
Agan-Mr. Webster will probably pass through
this city in about ten twenty days, when he may
be induced to deliver speech developing his views
of the present state of parties and the political as
pect of the country If he does il will be one ofthe
most brilliant efforts seen or heard in this coun-
try from the lips of man. After this he will go on
to Washington, to join his associates in perfectng
i
ward at the coming session of Congress, for the pa.
cfcation of the country, and the general restora-
ton of the credit and commerce of the whole land,
still so lamentably Frustrated.
These views, and the recent developments made
by Mr.. Webster in his speech auFaneuil Hall, were
all Swallowed forth by us fortnight ago; although
statements were then fatty contradiced by the
Wall street papers, which are now thrown as fatty
their backs as they can be by the position assum-
ed by Mr. Webster.
There has been going on in Washington for the
last eighteen months, an extraordinary conflict
amounting almost to little internal war-between
a small clique called the corporal's guard, and Mr.
Webster; but presume this has ceased for ever,
as the former party have been nearly demolished by
the events which have recently taken place, and,
therefore, we trust that Mr. Websters path in the
cabinet will be much smoother than it has been
heretofore.
The approaching se ctons will revolutienize poll
teal parties and put new feature on the movements
of the Executive. From recent appearances, and
particularly the bow-amounting in force to a shot
from a paxhan gun--whch Mr.. Webster has given
to the ultra whig party, it is very evident the great
State OF New York will go against the latter and
there will be general rout and scattering OF
forces throughout the State. great portion O. me
wing party will go against the ultra wings and MANY
Of those who are opposed to the present policy of
the administration will stay at home, believing truly
that If the ultra wings had power, things would be
infinitely worse. The effect OF these changes will
be felt and seen in the legislative body at Washing.
ton and the effect they will produce on Congress
will render the next session of the most impor-
tant that has ever been known in this country
The President will probably open the session with
a message, in which he will shadow forth all those
measures around which Mr. Webster. in his recent
speech, has thrown much light. The Colonial
Trade the Oregon Territory, the claims Of our cit
zens on Mexico and other countries-claims which
the power of the nation must be exerted TO have
setted-our internal affairs, a currency, OF
some system by which the currency can be properly
regulated and good system of exchange organised;
