the present position OF this country, with respect 10
ouriforeign and domestic affairs.
II is now settled. we believe, but how long II will
remain so we can more predict than we can the
day of judgment, that change will take place in
the Cabinet, at present. Mr.. Buchanan retains his
present position as firm as the Rocky Mountains,
and Will resume the Oregon negotlatons-or they
have already been resumed-at the same point they
were left, and on the like basis that we disclosed
some four or five weeks ago, TO the wondering
world around. The little difficulty, milf, or cross
looks, or askance eyes, between the President and
Mr.. Buchanan, which gave rise TO the recent ru.
mors, has been we believe satisfactorily settled on
the basis CT 81 live and let live" the solid foun-
dalton of "gIve and take" During the Cabinet
crisis, when the rumors falling as thick and
heavy as the snow did during the last storm, on
Long Island which impeded our express, several
friends of Mr.. Calhoun, thinking to catch the fall
ing pear, called the President, and endeavored
to effect The return of that distinguished statesman
to the Cabinet, in order to finish the Oregon conro
versy. II seems that these movements alarmed some
OF the other friends of the Executive, and of Mr..
Buchanan; and after some brief explanations, and
the evaporation Of box Of Havana segars, all diff
Guilty was made up, and II was agreed that Mr..
Buchanan should remain, firm rock, i'll his pre-
sent position, and THAT all rumors to the contrary
We're to be indignantly denied, and written down
odd lies"
Yet OF the general truth of certain facts on which
these rumors were founded, which were 10 lead to
the probable retirement Of Mr. Buchanan, we have
no reason to doubt. They may have been exagge-
rated somewhat, in passing from mouth to mouth, or
In going through the mudded brains OF politicians,
In bar-rooms; but that there was some difficulty,
and that such difference grew out of the laws of
nature which affect Cabinets, as well as clans and
other concrete substances there is no doubt
whatever. II is true the Washington Union,
which Is considered the organ Of the Execu-
i've, Denied in the most gentlemanly terms,
and with the warmth of a Southern sun, the exis-
tence OF any such movements in any quarter, look
ing to the retirement of Mr. Buchanan but this
very denial, and the gentlemanly temper which it
evinced in making the denial, confirms, according
TO all philosophical precedent the truth of the prev.
Gus rumors. When Mr.. Buchanan last summer,
made the proposition TO MIR. Pakenham, the British
Minister, to divide the Oregon territory by the
sensible line of the 49th parallel OF latitude SINH
lar denial put forward by the. Union, in the same
calm and demi-semi-gentemanly manner. When
Mr.. Sldell was sent Minister to Mexico, and the
fact leaked out in the newspapers, the Union came
out with like positive, pungent denial. 1t is mani
fest that the policy of the organ on all questions
as tar as Cabinet arrangements negotiations are
concerned, is to deny" the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the TRUTH" of all statements until
they become matter o. history. BY those means,
those who possess the secret key to the Cabinet
mysteries, can tell what Is going on and what the
Cabinet are about, just as well as he who makes
Them This is the golden rule OF Interpretation, by
which we can always understand Mr. Richie; and
by this rule, we think there is no doubt that Mr.
Buchanan was on the eve OF resigning the seals OF
Office; but on second thoughts and an ample expla-
nation, II was thought best to stock the cards, to
shuttle them again, and to prepare for new game
IN diplomacy, and win the odd trick if possible.
Such therefore, is the most authentic intelligence
which we have ascertained relative to the position
OF the Cabinet. The Oregon negotiation is resumed
or about to be resumed with Mr.. Pakenham, and it
10 about to be lifted from that state of abeyance in
which 1t stood when the British Minister attempted
to reopen il few weeks ago-a fact we stated at
the time, although it was, according to rule,
denied by the Union and several other jour-
Buchanan remains in the Cabinet to resume the
negotiations, and to go through them and TO finish
them, in the same spirit of moderation, with the
same amount Of talent and comprehensiveness Of
intellect, which have hitherto marked his diplo-
macy. We have therefore every reason to believe
that the Oregon negotiation will be settled at Wash
ington in very few weeks. Nothing Of any serl-
GUS nature will then remain but our affairs with
Mexico, and with regard to that country, we would
as soon have Bit Of war as any thing else We
think 1t would be advantage not only to the Mex
leans themselves, but civilization In general, if
the Anglo-Saxons were to precpitate themselves
into that unhappy country, and give them few les
sons in the art and science of firm and stable GO
vernment, as well as in working their mines OF gold
and silver.
With these views, and by way Of preparation, we
recommend the President, the Cabinet and all Con-
gress. TO sing the following song long metre, to the
tune OF Old Hundred" "Molly Carew," or
any other that suits them best, our friend Richie,

Song OF the Anglo saxons Going south.

Away! away for Mexico
Dark clouds are lowering there;
The bandits have refused to yield
Unto nations prayer!
And now lesson we will give,
That they must deeply feel
On land our leaden compliments,
At sea row of steel
Away-away for Mexico
There is a chance for fame,
And in the Montszumas halls
To write victors name.
Our nations insult il too deep
Ever to be forgiven,
And now we'll teach the Mexicans
The shortest way to Heaven
Away-away for Mexico
That land IL passing fair,
Whose fadeless wales of verdure lie
Der mines both rich and rare.
And il Humbolt tells the truth
There's billions yet untold,
To overflow treasury
With heaps of yellow gold.

New England Fusiliers-
Anyway for Mexico
