more beautiful day Than we have now in the
Federal Metropolis, never gaddened the shirtless
savages of the Feejee Islands The atmosphere,
the sunlight, the warm clouds around the rim Of
the horizon, make the climate as uxurlously en-
Ioyable as mint,julep in harvest time. But,
what's the news! Take chair and let US talk
over the news of the day-agreed
Well, the cabinet is sterling cabinet-a busi-
ness cablnet-a wide-a-wake, enterprisng cabinet,
and President Polk has, indeed, proved himself
master cabinet maker. For only examine mo-
men the potential regulations introduced or about
to be established In the distribution Of the "two
dollars a dav and roast beef" OF the Treasury.
LIST. The territorial Offices be filled by men from
the Territories in which such offices are or may be
the Importation system from Washington and
the States to be abolished and overruled where II
| Is in force. 2 All the notorious, iTedeemable,
sefcomplacent, subservient pliabe, obstinate or
| fexlbly servlle wings, TO be turned over to
ns care o. tine the great whg paIy,msrked
i
| man who has been in office for a term of
eight years, or longer: to be rotated out without
distinction Of party. Upon this last grand repub-
can innovation, the Cabinet, 1t is said, were yes-
terday in sersion till late hour of the night and
| though at this time we are not informed Of the
adoption OF the eight year limitation, yet We know
ii would meet the appreciation OF the whole cOur-
| try, if adopted The general impression inclines
| to the conclusion that the Cabinet have adopted,
or will, undoubtedly adopt, this excellent rotatoy
regulation The "Organ," however, was the
ain n0fy ydav, ltatIn NJ
and his ministers. No definite conclusion report
ed, except that Blair will. in no contingency, be
| honored with the official function OF editor of the
| official paper. He is not the man. His money
has made him little dlctatorial longer to be
| trusted. new press will be established, and It's
| influence will be found to be as wholesome to the
old sores, among cllques factions, and individuals
| as healing to the sores, so long kept open by the
probing knife of Blair, as Oldridge's Balm OF CO.
lumbia, or Pease's Hoarhound and Dogfennel
Candy But Eespecug the eight year regulation
shall be memorable, and that even Peter Hagner,
third auditor, and his seventeen relatives in Office
shall abide lby therule. And we would suggest
another rule, TO wit, that no man, not even the
heads of the departments, shall be permitted to
| have simultaneously more than seventeen rela-
| tives in Office under Executive appointment, and
| for restriction Of the President himself to fifty
| two relatives, allowing two for each State in the
Union. We believe Captain Tyler never knew
the extent of his family connexions till last
| mer, when he discovered that they numbered
| haps, have been as unlucky IN the end, IT not SO
CONSIDERABLY promoted, elevated, and provided for
as they were by the worthy captain.
[hem-The last intelligence from Williamsburg
is, that Captain Tyler is SEEMING the James River
for his summer supply of fish 1t is said that the
gambols and high jumps OF several sturgeon caught
| mapping by the Captains fishermen the other day,
| caused Infinite diversion to Mrs. Tyler, who de-
clared the scene most beautiful snort
7 Col. Benton has failed to I l.. Smith Reg
| lister OF the Treasury. Consequently, with
Benton's influence appears not to availmuch where
the party prejudlces and opinions of the obnoxious
| incumbent, cry aloud TO spare not. Ransom H.
| Gllett, Gf we mistake not) of York State, sup
plies the place of Smith.
| The Democratic Associations of Washington,
| who distributed several millions of documents last
summer all over the land, surprising the industry
| Of Willis Green and his confederates-demand
that in the distribution of Offices these same Wash
| ington locofocos shall not be overlooked. And we
now tell Captain Polk, and we are talking to him
| as to friend, and no sycophant talks, that
unless these Associations of this District are at
tended 10, there will be fuss raised around his
ears, which will give him more trouble than lit
tie. They only ask for Sengstack in the place Of
Sykes, and Towles in the place OF old Major Dade,
| OF the Penitentary, and one or two petty Clerk
ships for the thousands of dollars which they spent
| last summer. We ask no favor with these men;
but we protest against mbers of Congress FL
ling all the tat Offices IN Washington.
Yours, truly, Mr.. Fo4.
