We do not speak al random, nor for the sake OF
exciting or profractng an extfaneous curiosity IN
the public mind when we relerate THAT the meet
ing OF the next Congress will be the sgnal Tor re-
organization of the Cabinet, and distinctly defined
temporary Reorganization OF the democratic party
at head quarters. And while Mr.. Buchanan is look
ing forward 10 the quiet and honorable post Of SUI
preme Judge, (and capital good one he will make
Mr.. Walker is not the less anxious 10 'scape from
the turmoil of the strife about his es, by the adop-
ZION of the official costume OF foreign Ambassa-
dor, as we apprehend he would rather go 10 Russia
than return 10 Mississippi, IN these lnausplclous
days OF popular caprice.
We must not forget our old friends Messrs Hdg-
and Pleasanton. There Is no beauty IN the rule
OF rotation, If the net is weak 10 hold the big sh
OF the Departments. This scoopng out OF the min-
nows is mere child's play-we should like 10 see

Last week the Cabinet had the especial cases OF our
old, respected, and wealthy friends, Messrs Hagner
and PleasaDton, under consideration; but, as after
two days deliberatlon, the vote only stood two for
removal and four Tor retenon the subject has been
postponed until the Administration shall hear from
Indiana and the West on the subject, as we doubt
not IL will IN due season.
The case OF Wlmsett gentleman OF this city, pur-
porting 10 come from Georgia, Gas he may doubtless
claim TO do after several years residence there late
y appointed clerk, appears to have excited such OPP
position as TO induce reconsideration of the case
FIRST before the Secretary and then before the Pres
dent; but the result has not, we believe been deci
sive OF Wimsetrs election. The whole opposition
seems TO rest upon the ground of his alleged falsely
assumed citizenship from Georgia. he being, as
charged, citizen of this city, and having first tried
his chances before the associations here, before he
returned 10 Georgia Tor the recommendations re-
CURED. We think the President ought TO decline
any interference IN such small picayune cases as
this. We refer HIM TO case under MIR. Van Buren's
administration. The fourth auditor re-appointed
Mr. William Brown to important clerkship in
his Office, because OF his experience and usefulness
alone. The case was referred 10 Mr.. Woodbury.,
Secretary of the Treasury He returned for answer,
"Relected.-L W." The fourth auditor was rather
stumped at this iaconc nonconcurrence Of the Sec
rotary, and walked over TO him, when Mr. W. de-
cared that Brown had been guilty, at public festi-
val IN THIS city, OF very offensive toast against the
President. Finally, the Secretary and the auditor
went up to the President, and the case being stated
10 him, he asked for the offensive toast which be-
ing produced by the Secretary read substantially -
by VIM Brown.-Martn Van Buren,, distinguished
statesman, always having eye to the public int
rest, and two to his own.
Mr.. Van Buren, declared, that so far from the toast
being offensive, IL was highly complimentary, il
rightly construed, and altogether unobectlonable
and Mr.. Brown was accordingly reinstated, and re-
tanned his office all through that administration, and
that of John Tyler, till about three weeks ago. when
II ls SAID that same old toast up like spectre
IN ludgm mt against him. Pity that the decision OF
Martin Van Buren, was forgotten. Bur if Mr. Brown
went out under the rule OF rotation, then why hest
