THE NEW GARNET

We disclaim all unkind personal feelings to-
wards the President and his cabinet But high
public duties ressuperior to all personal consid-
STATIONS. We shaullaeceiveth people, if we
held out anyhopes of the political character of
the cabinet 1t is whig--and must prove, we
apprehend, ultra whig. For example, Mr.
Meredith, of Philadelphia, eminent as he is at
the bar, is no experienced and qualified States
man. We but repeat the opinions of the most
intelligent men with whom we have conversed,
and who know him. 'He is appointed Secretary
'ofths Treasury Can any man doubt in what
manner he will shape his measures in this most
important Office, when we see him declaring, on
the 21st Of last November the passage of
the act Of 46 nro'res insult as aceN as in,uy 10
Pennsylvania, aid her people must haze been blind
to their oea ho2or end interests If they had not re-
seated it, And vet this gentleman is selected
by 'no-party' President ass the head and leader
of the treasury. Such cabinet can coaale to no
good.-Unioac Of the 10TH
