WASHINGTON, June q, 1849.
The Weather and Appo'ntmeItsaPropose Remorafs-

The heat of the weather will probably expedite
the final decision of the Cabinet on the various
questions concerning removals and appointments !;
for some of its members are DESTROYS of taking
summer excursion as soon as the public business
will allow. There are few more important offices
to be filled and as the claims of the Taylor demo-
Gratis have been set aside, there is no reason for de-
LAYING action upon them. To make all the remain
ing appointments before Congress meets, will now
probably be the policy, instead of holding back
few for the reward of services yet to be rendered.
and which, at the next session, may be needed
Some of our citizens are, it is said, to go into
office on the LIST of july Some other offices are to
become vacant by compromise with the incumbents
on the Both of September The Postmaster at
Louisville has, very civilly, rendered his resigna
ton, to take effect on that day. His example will
probably be followed by others who deem their
chance of holding on very bad, or who are unwil-
ling 10 rrlinquish their claims on their own party by
cOuntenancing the present administration.
There is no just ground whatever for the opinion
that any Especial monuments " of democracy will
be found in office at the close of the present year
no matter what may be the efforts of few /" fishy
whgs.''
Six members of the Cabinet are undoubtedly and
thoroughly whig-and ultra whig the seventh
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson-has been suspected of
leaning towards moderation but there is no doubt
it is now said, that he has been induced to fall
in with the policy of sweeping removals.. A wing
administration must necessarily employ wing men,
and resort 10 wing measures 1t will be more easy
to find wing men than 10 find what are the wing
measures Fortunately, however, for the admins
tration, they need not trouble themselves about
measures as democratic majority of both Houses
will take care of them.
The Commonwealth of Virginia, always pos
sessed of good share of the public patronage, has
got goOdiy portion of spOs of this administration
But learn that her claims are considered as hav
ing been satisfied, and that, therefore, more of
the diplomatic even consular appointments are
to be given to her
This question was decided in the Of John s.
Pendeton, who could not be appointed to a foreign
mission because the claims of Mr.. Rives upon the
Stale Department had been committed into for
eign misson-a claim that could not be set aside,
because it had an effect on the formation of the
Cabinet
The question has been again settled. however,
upon the application of Mr.. Rives to have one of
his sons appointed to go with him as Secretary Of
Legation. Even this reasonable request was re-
fused after consideration by the Cabinet.
The Cabinet were unwilling, not only to make
more appointments from Virginia at present, but
they intended to set their faces against nepotism
with which they have been, perhaps, too hastily
charged.
Tie National Wing" is about to go into an.
other syncope Whether it is playing 'possum or
not, this time, remains to be seen. Ion.
