causes in the Supreme Court OF the Unod States, IN

ment of one duty only the discharge OF another and
different one and finds time for leisure, OF scarcely Tor

To say of man that he has discharged all these varied
duties with credit and Distinction is mean praise. Yet
all admit that Mr. Clifford, in the distinguished manner
which he has discharged each and all OF the duties OF
his exalted station and in the confidence in his ability
and political sagacity with which he has inspired all those
with whom he associated has surpassed the most san
guine anticpaons OF his friends. In his first appear

an important cause growing out of the former relations
between the government and the United States Bank, he
established for himself the claim to rank with the
most distinguished advocates in the country and justified
in the eyes of the nation the estimation in which he has
been held in his State
We rejoice that anticpaons of his success and
usefulness realized, and hail II evidence that
hereafter Maine will have reason to complain that IN
the councils of the nation she does not receive that con-
sderation 10 which the extent of her territory the Inn

MIR. Trist.

We see the following statement made in letter to the
New York "Couner and Enquirer" dated at this city on
the 18th instant, and signed "The Spy in Washington"
which has been transferred into that respectable wing
journal, the Pennsylvania Inquirer" of Philadelphia:
81 do, however, undertake say, by intelligence from
Pueba, that Mr. Trist had conducted the negotiation
properly and placed his despatch in the hands of General
Scott, to be transmitted the Mexican government
immediately after the battle Of Cerro Gordo should
have had peace long before this period"
We deem it probable that if Mr. Buchanan's despatch
had been transmitted to the Mexican government mme-
dately after the battle Of Ceuo Gordo, should have
had peace before this period Why it not trans
mitted, is grave question; bit undertake 10 assert

Among the many gratifying circumstances connected
with the recent visit of the President not the least the
fact that he was accompanied by two members OF his
cabinet, in whom the citizens of Maine have TO
feel the deepest interest.

petual and grateful remembrance by the people of Maine
The Hon. Nathan Clifford, the Attorney General, is the
first citizen of Maine who has had the honor to occupy
seat in the cabinet If except single instance,
during the administration of Mr. Van Buren, in which
private considerations compelled the recipient of the offer
to decline the rendered honor, previous administration
has sought avail itself of the services, in the cabinet
of citizen of Maine, since the admission of the State
into the federal Union.
This has surely been from no want of ability in her
public men; for, in the ranks of the democracy, Maine
has her full share of who would discharge the du
ties of any station, however exalted, manner honor

And in the ranks of political opponents without all
