Chamges at Washington.
Nearly all accounts from Washington concur In
The assurance that the breaking up Of Congress
will be the signal for a Encouragement OF the few
stars forming The Tyler galaxy. Mr.. WEBSTER,
it is confidently stated, will retire altogether from
tho Cabinet to cultivate cabbage and philo5ophya
Hlarshfeld, with view to rc-en,eriRg on the prac-
tce of the Law. He ought at eastto be oGered."
Mission but gratitude for past services is not
striking charac teristc of John Tyler. Mr.. CALEB
CUSHING steps into Mr.. Webster's shoes, and will
fill them with ability and industry--farther this de-
ponent saith not. Mr.. FORWARD, in like
ner, is to be bowed out Of the Treasury Depart
,nent, and Mr.. JOHN C.. SPENCER, who has long
had pencAant for bearing the bag" takes his
place. Mr.. Spencer, too, possesses great talent
and activity but we thuk th, change is hardly ar
Improvement; yet auch is our astonishmcnt ami
gratitude that so honest and cloar ghled States
man as Mr.. f. has been so leng permitted to hold
shis important r.u,inn that shall not cavil al
ehe change. These transformations, If will be seen,
create vacancy in the War Department, wnlcs'i>
to be filled by calling in JAMES NJ, PORTER, of Pa
{bro,her of Gov. Porter, and the master-spirit OF
A,is Administration Judge Porter likewise pos
sesses talent, and, being gifted with decided fla
cility Of principle, will make good Tyler man,
For this promotion, Gov. Porter is to manGuvre
tho Porter, johnson aud Cass cliques of Pcnnsyl
vnnia into the support of John Tyler for Pres
dent and David e. Porter for Wee President!-
At won't work, any how. Mr.. Tyler is uniformly
unfortunate in attracting to his standard only those
who have traded out their influence aud character.
Gov. Porter is the most unpopular and detected
man in Pcnnsy lvania and would sink out OF sound
ings far stronger leader than John Tyler.
There are to be various Diplomatic Changes Ell
!ected about the same time. MIR. WISE, WHO has
no look for reelection to Congress demands an
Embassy for which his temper and career prove
him SO peculiarly cited 1t is supposed that the
Mission to France, SO long open, Will be gwen
him; though other accounts say that Mr. WHEATON
will probably be transferred from Berlin 10 Paris,
and some raw hand sent to Prussia in his stead
Thiy course would be clearly proper and judi
cious, that we do not think it will be pursued By
our present rulers. MIR. JENIrER will probably
be recalled from Austria to make room for some
patriotic Guard sman who has sacrificed himself with
his constituents in following John Tyler. MIR
PRoFrlrr is especially homeless and shel,crless,
and must have someihing-he will take Il tat Con
sulship rather than nothing. His case cannot be
overlooked.
~ Now, while we have objection 10 Mr.. ~
ler's arranging and manuuvring his slender forces
as he may think proper, and while we knew tina,
every Wing removed by him from office adds many
votes to the Wing celamns, must not suffer this
occasion to pass without entering our earnest Pro-
test against the Presidents postponement of i'm
portant Nominations until after the Senate tss ad
journed, as 20 render them in effect absolute,
contrary the Constitutional requirement tia. the
appointments shall be made By and .citb the con-
seut of the Senate" To hold Cabinet together
Till Congress adjourns, and then remodel it the
Executive pleasure, is fraudulent evasion of this
rreuisition but to keep open such place the
French Embassy for months, in order to Eli it
controlled by The Senate, is an outrage sui! more
fragrant. Wsdo not hope that these considerations
will have any weight with john Tyler. but are no,
'ae loss DESTROYS to stand on record as maintaining
fundamental Wing principle in these days of
'reschery and ,crgiverss,ion
ihs Loco Fecos of NEW JERSEY held
WY .a's Convention at Trenton on the 18th, and
nominated joan ytcr as their candidate for NEXT
iies'aeN'' we hail this nomination with unal
ioyso P's"'0'' ne party and the candidate are
eminen'ly worthy OF each other, and we hone tina,
they lovely aud pIea,an, in ,bss;r l;ns,
in their deaths they will no, be divided! W.
prehend, however, tina, thi, is no, m. ~
tina, these men are only hambusging the rre,, A. A.,
ciden,al with view Of getting and keeping -.
Offices, and ,ha, John Tyler gets nothing bat ernp,,
words-from ,hem We rsgrer to see that ,nsS
is the general appreciation OF his roeaneas. tina,
the politicians seem To think i, perfectly fair and
moral TO cheat him to the utmost. For shame,
