Cabinet Changes.

ao,h, ia, Hon. WALTER FORWARD has rendered
~ p,esiaen. Tyler his resignation of the post OF
,bs Secretary of the Treasury, which took effect Or
"Wednesday. This resignation being unq'ai'fed
mug. Of course be accepted, SO that Mr.. SPENCER
can now be called 10 the Treasury, and MIR. JAMES
MADISON Porter to the War Department, if
such be the Accidental pleasure. Whether Mr.
WEBSTER shall also retire, making an opening
for Mr. CUSHING, with possibly step upward to
Nc UPsHUR is by no means certain As the
expectation IS strong and general that relnorse-
less sweep is soon to be made Of the Wings re.
manning in Office, including those of the taneu'l
Hall s.amp-many of them the devoted friends
and unwaverng admirers of Mr.. Webster-lt is
Thought in Boston that he cannot remain IN ofhce
month longer except at sacrifice OF honor and
feeling too great to be encountered by any man.
We shall see.
Enough for the presen. that Mr.. FORWARD, OF
his own free will, retires from the public service
retres simultaneously with Wing Congress, and
whea his power to serve the Country essentially In
Office is virtually at an end. The Nation does not
vet realize as it one day WILL the siGral services
which Mr. F, has been enabled to render 1t during
The last eighteen months Called to most re-
sponsible pos, at Washington by our laE1ented
HARRISON, accepting the direction OF the Treasury
Department in most critical emergency, Nlr.
Forward has been enabled to render such aid to
,he great cause Of Protection to Home Industry as
win be benefcenty felt through many years Earn
es,, fearless and thorough in his advocacy OF that
cause, both in his Official Reports and his unwea-

New Tariff bill which was substantially that ult-
nately passed into law, his position and course
rendered it morally impossible sven for John yler
10 veto Tariff any other ground than that OF the
Land Distribution; that obvated, his signature bs.
came master ofnecessty Again at the opening OF
abe presen. Session. the President indicated in his
Message disposition to unsetie nnd deranse the
Tariff by reducing all such Dates as were high
enough TO be esteemed Protective; but to this pro-
.iect tn. Secrc,ary's Report gave quietus. With
differen. Secretary and different Report, we
should have had a furious onslaught on The Tariff
in Congress upca the pretext that the deficiency

Protective Duties inevitable. True, we do not be-
leve that this crusade could have been successful,
with such men as EVANS, SIMMONS, FILLMORE and
S1LToNsrALL at the head Of the related Commit
tses, backed by the determined Wing majorities;
but the effect of the agitation would have been dis
as,rous On the great Producing Interests
hardening into stability aRd soid,y nnde, the pro,
.eciion of the Tariff, beside wasting the time I'm
mnently needed for other purposes. Now lie, Lo

proceed to hack and hew tie Tariff a, its peril -
MIR Forward retires to private life, but we trust
no. long to remain there. We wish he could be
induced serve the i'm Hortant and vitality interest

that be asking tyemuch, we feel confident that the
canvass Of lS44i those of 1886 and &c, will lind

National Policy which essential to the presper
