CANDIDATES. FOR THE CONVENTION
THE NEW CABINET.

The Wing party throughout the country seem 10
n more than satisfied with the selections made by
Mr. FLLMoRE for his Cabinet All the gentlemen
selected possess fine abilities, and as body have the
confidence of the people in as great degree as any
of their predecessors Both Wings and Democrats
are pleased to see Mr. WEBsTEs occupy the post OF
secretsrv Of State. His noble stand in support OF
mo RIGHTS Of the whole country has eudeared him to
rho neopIe of the United States, and establishes his
claim to be regarded an American citizen. NO
section and no party can justly lay an exclusive claim
70 him-he belongs in some sense, alike 10 all AS
one evidence of the sentiment alluded to, we may
rnsoton that prominent Democrat has requested us
10 renublisb from the Richmond Republican an elo-
ouent eulogium upon the distinguished statesman,
which we will cheeriully do as soon as we can and
the space.
MIR. CoRwlY, the Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr.
CRrrENDEN, Attorney General, and Mr. GRAHAM,
Secretary of the Navy, are we'll known and need no
word of commentator. With regard TO MIR. Cor
WIN, if he stood alone, some slight apprehension
might be felt BY Southern men on account OF his
farmer views on the subject Of slavery, but no rea-
sonable complaint can be made at his appointment.
Mr.. HALL, the Post Master General, is less gen.
eraIly known than any of his colleagues He was
a member of the last Congress, and was at one time
partner of Mr. FILLMORE in the practice OF the law
The personal knowledge the President has OF his
character and abilities is a sufficient guarantee-we,
at least, require no other.
Mr. BArEs, the Secretary of War, is native oil
Goochland County in this State, but has resided Tor
many years in Missouri, where he has acquired high
distinction at the Bar. A few years ago the peo-
ple generally became familiar with his name as the
president Of the Chicago Convention. On Sunday
last he passed through this place on his way to
Washington, having been sojourning at the White
Sulphur Springs.
MIR. PEARcE, who received the appointment Of
Secretary of the Interior, has declined the place, for
the reason, il is supposed, thai he was membc: Of
Coacress when he oct establishing the Department
was passed,
The National Inellgencer Of Saturday states that
Messrs. WEBSTER, CoRwiN and HALL, being present
in Washington, had accepted their appointments and
were duly commissioned Messrs. CRITrENDEN and
GHAuAm were known to have accepted, but had not
reached the city.

The CoMpRoMlsE.-There is yet nothing concu-
sve as to the fate Of the Compromise Bill in the Sen
ate and much interest and anxiety is felt IN refer
ence to it. On the 22d inst. Mr. CLAY delivered an
other great speech on the subject, which the Nation
al lntegencer says was characterized by an ability
and vigor not exceed by those OF his younger days,
when he was coulessedy without peer in the lead
of The Republican (now Whig) party in Congress"
and which the Union thinks unquesrionably the best
he has delivered this Session. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that the popular sentiment of Virginia is not
more correctly represented in the Senate at
ture Scarcely person in ten approves the course
of Messrs HUNTER and Mason.
II is said, if the Compromise bill fails, Mr. FILL
MORE will recommend 'lhe passage of bill esab-
fishing territorial government for New Mexico, and
making an offer to Texas for the adjustment OF the
boundary dispute This he Will, no doubt PROPOSE
as demanding the earliest attention of Congress
His policy, on this subject, will necessarily be avow-
ed in his reply to Gov. BELL,n
