and telegraphic reports from that
quarter have formed some dozen or
more cabinets for President Fillmore.
One puts Mr.. VfNroN down for the
Department of the Interior.
That there viii probably be chan
ges in the Cabinet, seems to be gene
rally believed; but that any one of
the numerous rumors can be relied
upon we-doubt.
The following letter to the Balti-
more Patriot, embraces all that is of
importance:
WASHINGTON, July Is, 1850.
There is nothing settled yet. as to
the Cabinet-or if it is, some of those
who have been telegraphed as in
tended members it, do not know it.
The task-for it is a tasks one of
great difficulty, and more so just
now,-when the vote Of every men,
Der of both houses is important, and
may be decisive OF some of the great
measures before Congress-than at
any other time, since Congress met.
President Fillmore keeps his own
council, and consults those who will
not be likely to send of all he says
by Telegraph, OF to make it common
gossip about the city. He has shown
throughout this embarrassing duty,
which has devolved upon him, Of
selecting. a new Cabinet, the pru-
dence, the consideration and the
courtesy which become the states
man, the patriot, and the gentleman,
as he is. 1t is gratifying to see how
warmly he attaches to him all those
who have intercourse with him, and
how they leave him, in admiration
Of his ability and Of the sound i'm
pulses of his head and heart. He
will build up for himself reputa-
tion, as President, which would
crafty the ambition Of any man. |
predict that his administration will
be one OF the most successful, and
most popular, that we have ever had,
and it will be referred to as an ex-
ample for others that may succeed il,
to follow. The confidence which is
already felt in President Fillmore is
seen in this, that whilst every one,
who has been spoken Of for place
in the Cabinet, have earnest suppor-
tiers, all do not hesitate to say, that
the selection which he may make,
wilbbe sure to deserve the support of
the country, and emphaticdlly Of the
Wing party.
The new cabinet may be named
on Monday next. That is the im-
preston now, because it is under
stood that the present members have
agreed TO retain their places till that
day. Ii is stated 10 me today, by
one who has been spoken to on tine
subject, that it is very likely that
Mr.. Ewing, whose personal services
in the new department, Of which he
is the head, cannot just now be well
dispensed with, may be induced to
retain his place for some time longer.
The debate in the Senate to-day
was interesting. Mr.. w bster
showed that he meant what he said,
when he used the words in his ad-
dress to the citizens of Boston: 81
tread no step backward" He goes
for the good Of his country, nc mat
Ter from what quarter the wind
blows. If the measure, in his judg-
ment, will produce peace, secure
union, and do no injustice-he will
vote for it. And this is the sen;i-
ment, too, Of Henry Clay. 1t has
been the sentiment OF his whole life,
and he can never act Otherwise
He is like the country from which he
comes-great in all things.
What is to be the fate Of the CON-
promise in the Senate, those who
are the wisest, do not seem to know.
Mr.. Hunter speaks tomorrow, and
Mr.. Clay will probably speak after
him. 1t is said that he has a propo-
sition to make, which may reconcile
some, who are now hesitating, TO vote
for the bill.
The House spent all the day, in
talking about New Mexico, and the
admission oil delegate as repre-.
sentative of that territory. No
conclusion was reached.
just before the adjournment, the
Speaker presented communication
from Mr.. Crawford, in relation to
the Galphin claim. He proposes,
that inasmuch as the House has deci-
ded that the claim was not just, and
the paymen; wrong, that Congress
authorize legal proceedings to be in
stituted against him for The recovery
OF the interest, or any portion OF the
Galphin claim which he has received;
and he will abide by the decision
This is all that could be asked Of him.
