The Cabinet are around the President like so
many consprators, each for himself, and the sue
cesson of his clique The fuss OF the whig press ar
the few discharges that have been made, have had
some influence in checking the guillotine; but not
half so much as the difficulty OF satisfying the
clignes, or any one of them, without endangering
the support Of the Others Now we say to Captain
Polk and to Cave Johnson-for Gave will stick to
the President whatever may be the combination
against him-we say to them, go ahead. You are
expected to turn OUT and to turn in-you must do
1t, or you are lost.
The work of rotation is suspended almost entire
y Tor the present, account OF the Virginia elec-
tions, and because the regular organ does not be-
gin to play Till the first of May.

them OH; and great many of Caves deputies
are to be served in that way. A Mr.. Regan,
Methodist protestant purser, will supercede Mr..
Tyler's man at Steubenvllle, and Mr. Spencer
succeeds TO the post office at Cleveland, while a

present Tyler incumbent. Now, that's the way to
do the business.

nary travelling, and the fund appropriated there
TOR. Mr.. Bagby is in a snar, and Messrs. Barrow
and Johnson are bound to settlement with their
constituents. But there is no hope for Dickinson
none In the world. His speech on Texas nearly
killed him, but this fund for visionary travelling,
which he demanded three times over, will entire
ly extinguish him. The publication OF that matter
In the Herald has created quite a sensation here,
and will doubtless open the eyes of the people
throughout the land to closer vigilance upon the
proper expenditure Of the peoples money.
Andrew Jackson Smith, it is said, will, notwith-
standing the understanding to the contrary, be ap-
pointed consul to Havana in the place OF Campbell,
OF South Carolina, brother OF the Democratic
member Of that name in the House. Smith is the
son of old fellow soldier of General Jackson,
and this circumstance renders the report in the
premises sufficiently plausible for public notice.

library OF Congress is open from nine to three in
the day, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
There, upon these days, the late Chinese comms-
sloner may generally be found, poring over old
volumes OF treaties, to if there is anything
comparable with his compact with the Emperor Of
