from sinking. Yet so it was. One sad, disgusting
plan had been frustrated, A new game was to be
r.~,,u and they did not hesitate TO commence il,
over the remains ofthe lamented hero.
Determined TO hold TO their position, if posi-
ble the cabinet sent out its directions for the flat
teIy of The new President, whose favor they ex-
pect TO receive. Struggling to identity themselves
with the party to which Mr.. Fillmore has been at
ached, they hoped by this seizure of the political
wires, to operate largely upon the future. They
believed that they could look anything in the face,
after the events of the last few days, and they
thought that they could even stare Mr. Fillmore
out of countenance. In this fiatterng assurance,
they went to work, full of ambition, and full of
hope, directing their organs to keep them in
place as the concentration, essence aud spirit
of party. 1t is all very curious, and we
shall see shortly what peculiar fruits will spring
from this attempt to plant the seeds OF a ne " po.
ltical harvest. Surely this cabinet will defy the
practical sagacity of the whole world, and that of
Satan himself Bat they must go-and 60 out.

Mr. Fillmore, in pursuance Of the provision of he

occurred by the deceAse CT Gen. Taylor, was
duly insus urated as President of The United

AS will be observed, we have received severel
reports concerning the dissolution OF Gen. Taylor's

Fillmore. They disagree in many particulars as

advisers; but we do say most emphatically, ihat
from among them, cabinet, equal in point of abb

We csunot help giving vent, on this OCCASION TO
