pact that Willie p Maneum. and not willism A. Ora
ham Of North Carolina, goes into the Cabinet. Mr.

1t is currently reported that when Senator In
formed Mr. President Fillmore that Mr. Toombs Of
Georgia, xious TO be placed the head Of tho
War Department and that his friends expected him

back in his chair and gave loud laugh
That laugh told the story What the renss-
tons which unquestionably produced it, Here was

Every true whig in the country with here and there
soated exception perhaps, would revolt ut ths ap
pointment Of Mr. Robert Toombs to the head of the
War Department, or any other department under .
wing administration. Better retain Crawford. better
have an entire democratic cabinet, tbsa that Mr.
Toombs should be appointed Secretary of War
The latest cast of the new cabinet carrying with IT.
the all OF probability. Is as follows -
Daniel Webster. Secretary OF state.
