The Washington correspondents are specializing upon
the persons who fill the foreign missions One
port says that Mr. Abbot Lawrence is going to London,
and Mr.. William c. Rives TO Paris. Another cast of
characters is that Mr. Clayton is destined TO London,
and Mr. Rives to Paris We vouch for none of
these rumors We suspect their authentcitybu at all
events we should suppose that it is rather too to
break up the cabinet Give it time, and it will dissolve
OF itself at no distant day.
The correspondent of the Journal Of Commerce writes
that he has the best believe that every consul
late worth having has been given out The appointees
not yet named in public, commissioned but every
one of them is designated Among them the consul for
Liverpool. Applicants for these offices may cease to
break their necks for them But for the consolation Of
hunters, beg leave to state that what has been
decided may be changed and that those who expect to
taste the cup may yet share the fate Of Tantalus We

No reason can be ruthulIy assigned for his removal

The New Administration.


General Taylor's administration does not as yet seem
to exhibit any other CHARACTERISTIC IN the management OF
public affairs than tameness and nefclency Both po-
cal friends and foes at loss In regard to its
tentons. A majority of the cabinet being old school
whgs and quondam Clay men, doubtless in favor of
high tariff, such would give splendid profits TO
ufacturing companies, and assess heavier taxes upon
the people, they thought that there was any Possbi
ity Of establishing national bank they would urge the
President to public recommendation OF il. Both OF
these measures. however would find little favor in
the coming Congress- that they will hardly venture to
boldly favor either of them,
The friends of a high tariff every year becoming
fewer al the north None of the cotton fabrics
would be benefited by tariff In the past history OF
American. manufactures than four-iifths of the
failures which have happened, have resulted from bad
management, extravaganza, occasoned In part by their
large profits, and ignorance on the part OF the managers
These have frequently destroyed the most extensive
establishments. The want of foresight in purchasing
the material the want OF discretion in the sale OF
manufactured goods, and the contracting Of bad debts,
sufficient to make bankrupt any company with
the highest tariff that could be established Economical
management is the very best protection" in any kind of
business, and without it the most protective tariff
enacted would not prevent bankruptcy The great mass
OF the people at the north tired of the humbug of
protective tariff and the Observation-Disclosures will hardly
attempt TO revive it.
There is one scheme, however, recently developed BY
the administration, which it claim purely
original. 1t is the concealment OF removals from office
from the public, BY not announcing them in their organs
the party pledges of the President, previous to his
election and the gross violation of them in the removal
OF public officers Hence the attempt 10 conceal those
changes from the people.
The recent elections showing what verdict this
anomalous administration will receive at the bar OF public
opinion. II is at this hour in decided minority every
section of The Union Especially in the great and grow
ing west, where General Taylor did receive single
electoral VOTE there hardly corporars guard of
aherents aside from those who seeking for office
So much for no-pary administration.

Baltimore Appointments.


We venture the assertion, that there many dis

appointments which certain Baltimore correspon.
