Grs. TarLoRs CABrSET-The North West
The Free States west Of the Ohio River cast 50
Electoral Votes-neariy one-ffth Of the entire
nunber-snd contsin at this day more than one
fifth OF the voters and Of the representative popu
lston Of the United States. As there are six Mem,
bers OF the Cabinet, il is bat natural TO suppose
that one ofthem will be taken from the Free West
err States though no Electoral Vote was cast for
Gen. Taylor from those States and Mr. Polk
though he received majority OF their votes has at
no time had Member Of his Cabinet from the
North West Il lis, we believe, generally conceded
tbs, one will be selected by Gen. Taylor from that
important section.
Who will he be We have heard several
names suggested, but that which seems T. have
combined most suifrages is the nominee Of Indiana
Hon CALEB b. SMITH, now a Representative in
Congress from that State. We hear that he is
strongly backed also from other States OF the
North West. especially Ohio and Michigan. His
selection is therefore probable on the presump. on
that Gen Taylor will, in forming his Cabine give
weight the suggestions Of his Political friends in
the various sections OF the Union.
Mr.. Smith has not been long ia public life, but
every days continuance therein has enlarged and
extended the popular estimate Of bis abilities aud
his worth. His first appearance was as Member
Of the Legislature of Indiana in 1884, end he
was reelected for three successive terms and
such was the Judgment formed Of his capacities
that he was chosen Speaker Of the House at the
opening Of his third Session, and reelected with
out an opponent at the opening Of the fourth. The
next year he was appointed one of the Fund Com
nissoners Of Indiana and continued to discharge
the duties OF that post for two years, when he re-
signed, and in ls40 was returned to the Legisa
tare and chosen Presidential Elector on the Hsr-
rison ticket. In ls43 he was chosen a Represent
alive in Congress, and is now closing bis sixth
year OF continuous service in that capacity, having
been twice reelected by decisive msjorities
Mr. Smith is in the prime Of life, induslrioUz
energetic aud practical, and would fill efficiently
any station requiring sound Judgment and resolute
sssduity. AZ a debater in Congress or a can
vasser before the People ne has few superiors
His speech IN our Ci..s year since, at the meet
ing o: the frends Of Peace aud Henry Clay at the
isoenacie will not soon be forgotten by those
who tssrdit
