The NaM Cahinet.


The Cabinet of President Fillmore is form
ed, and we are happy to say that il isjust such
a Cabinet as might have been expected from
the man.
Itis wholly and entirely Whig-nothing else
but Wing, out and out Men who are not to
be moved by sectional impulses; and we hail
its formation with increased hopes for the
safety of our Union. Their names are as
follows =
Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State,
/" Edward Bates, Secretary of War,
" Thomas Corwin, Secretary of Treasury,
NIX. Hall. Post Master General,
VIM. A. Graham, Secretary of Navy,
" John J. Crittenden, Attorney General
/" VIM ]. Price, Secretary of Interior.
Every true Wing we think, will be satisfied
with this Cabinet. Every man. of them is
known to be staunch Wing and no man eau
now for moment doubt, but that Wing prin.
ciples will be carried out in their fullest extent
1t would seem from appearances, at present
that in the present Cabinet the influence il
favor Of the Compromise will be in the as
cendant. We are sorry that General Taylor
admirable plan should be thrown aside, but i
may all be for the best At least we hope i
will in. the end prove the best.
But we are most of all, grati6ed, to see
Oho's noblest son, Thomas Corwin, where ht
ought to have been long before, among thu
nations and the Presidents private counsel
lors. lie is unquestionably, well qualified fol
the station he has been appointed to fill, anG
most faithfully will he fulfill his trust Hi
appointment leaves vacancy in the United
States Senate, to be filed by Gov. Ford. anc
we hope some man from the norther part o
the State will be appointd.
The appointment of the Hon. Daniel Web
lster. also leaves vacancy in Congress to b,
6lled. by Gov Briggs of Massachusetts, anc
the people of that State viii. quite likely, hav,
man that will represent them on the Slave
question. His appointment will make diff
ference of two against the Compromise, anC
the measure viii stand some chance of being
defeatedyet
Upon the whole the state of affairs at pres
ent. looks brighter, and We hope that the ex
citement among the ultra northern and south
ern members will be abated and the impend
ing evils with which We are now threatened
viii bid fair to be averted, and the sun of pros
Iperity shine again with undiminished splendor
The Ohio State Journal says
This is one of the strongest, most popula
and best cabinets that has ever been formed
The President has shown great skill, judgmen
and caution in selecting his constitutional ad
visers, We rejoice to say that he has beer
national in his views, and has not confined
himself to any one part of the Union, or any
Fone particular portion of the Wing party
The great design seems to have been to make
a unit of the great Wing party. Cancellation
and harmony of action, appear to have beer
the ruling motive. We are glad that tht
Nashville Convention Wings, for there were
very few of such, the mad-cap disorganizer
lof whom Toombs & Co., are the leaders, arr
left out, as they should be. These men hay,
Eopposed the Wing party for eight months
They have been determined TO rule or ruin us
They attempted to force their views upol
Gen. Taylor, but met with nothing but defeat
They stand as opponents of the Wing party
and opponents OF the Union. We turn then
over to Father Richie, where they have beeI
in action and sympathy for months past. W
1desire no such spirits in our ranks, and rejoic
that Fillmore knows them not in his appoint
lments.
