The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1845-01-15
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEW ADMINS,


THATION.
The New York Herald has a correspondent a
Washington, who has a far-seeing eye; and from
the character of some of his speculations, we
are inclined to the belief that he occupies a
more exalted station than a mere penny-a-liner
FOR the newspaper press. His letter of the 29ih
ult. is quite interesting, even if it were all fc-
ton. We are generally opposed TO the picking.
up Of street rumors and idle gossip in the Me-
tropoljs, and have given our correspondent
special instructions to write US nothing but facts
that our patrons can rely upon, But we give
the following extracts from the Herald's cores
pendent, for what II is worth. We hope it may
turn out true that a Union will be effected be-
tween the three Democratic journals at Washing
ton, for in that event there will be no organ TO
give expression 10 the whims and ~fooleries Of
factions. Col. Polk, we have no doubt, will
mako his Administration the most popular one
we have ever had, and this first step towards that
end, will be hailed with delight by the Demccra-
cy of the whole country:
IA rumor has been going The toUnds for some
weeks past that the friends o. Polk had offered
to purchase the "Madisop;an'' newspaper estab-
%Iishment. This is ori.y a part of the story. 1t
is pretty well Understood here (aud the above
rumor is based on this flct) that a union IS to
be effected between the Globe, the Madisonian,
and tIe Spectator, and from this union will arise
the Government organ, that is 10 be. 1t is also
understood, mot rumored,) that Tom Richie,
now of the Richmond Enquirer, or E. II. Z.
Claiborne, ~(formerly N. c. from Mississippi)
will be invited TO take charge of it, editOrIally,
Such an arrangement is actually ON foot, at this
moment, and it will be consummated within
three months. You will bear in mind that this
is no guess work at all. If matters com round
as is desired by those interested, Blair will re-
ceive an appointment abroad, which Of course
will suit him very well. The leaders of Mr..
Folks Administration in Congress will be Levi
Woodbury., Of New Hampshire, in the Senate,
and Charles J. ingersoll, Of Pennsylvania, in the
House. These latter are tried men, and are not
only in HIGH esteem with the President elect
but are both gentlemen thoroughly versed in po-
litical tactics, and arc perfectly competent to
lead the van in their respective branches OF the
National Legislature. The former, haIi!ng as
5 he does from the Granite State, which was the
first to nominate Col. Polk in the Baltimore con-
4 ycntion-occupies a proud position at his time,
8 and his superb talents will enable him to take
t the lead and hold a controlling influence. In
gorsoll is a splendid fellow, and understands bis
: position exactly. You will hear from him here
after.
r "Mr. Polk viii bring with him TO Washington:
t a gentleman by the name Of Harris, who will re-
. ceive the appointment of private secretary to the
President. Mr. Harris was formerly a citizen OF
Massachusetts, whence he was called by Col.
Polk, some two or three years since, 10 the
charge of the Nashville Union (Col. Folks or
gan in T'omcssee) and which he has edited TN
ii recently. lie is said 10 be a gentlemen Of
excellent a~ttainments, and having been the
confidential friend Of Colonel Polk for many
years, is admirably well qualified for the part
of private secretary. Rumor has it that Col.
Folks brother will receive this appointment, but
it is not so.
"Iti it now settled beyond a doubt that Cal
houn will not form a part Of the Cabinet, after
, March. lie will unguestionabIv be consulted
by the President (0n his arrival in Washington
and the persons | have named to you beng per
~s0nally in Calhoun's interest, and enjoying his
friendship, their chances are Of course enhan-
ccd. 1Ir. Calhoun will retire voluntarily, and if
be will accept it, a foreign mission will be ten
dered him, at once. The ridiculous report that
the President has been bcsieged by Office hun
ters Of late, is false. lie remains at his res
donco in Columbia, where he will larry till about
the first Of February. He will be here about
The tenth Of that month, not earlier; then look
ont fer fun! Thus much for the present"
