presenting something which TO base an estimate OF
his probable success.
Il seems now, pretty well settled that John NJ Clayton
will be the Secretary of STATE. This looks like confirms
iag the indications, already numerous that The COM
promise policy on the save question is be that OF the
administration. II is also affirmed, with great conf
dence that Governor Critlenden vii. not accept any
situation in the cabinet / so, he has probably come 10
that conclusion in consequence of the election OF Henry
Clay to the Senate, and the knowledge that he goes
there without any pledge 10 The support OF the admins
traton lie knows, that, placed in that position, Henry

The object IS, while giving the Office, nomnaly TO New
England, to bring INTO power who will infuse in
10 the government, or give an impetus to those high
principles OF civil liberty and morality which would
denim all wars OF aggression, their aiders aud aDetors
