more oysters with my razor, I'll cut you off
with shilling" every well father" re-
torted Tom, "but where will the shilling

APPOINTMENTS AND nrIrR FArE.-Mr. Folsom,
Of this city, has been appointed Charge deAGaves
TO the Court Of Holland. Mr.. Folsom AS a gentle
msn and n scholar. lie is, moreover, an original
Taylor man, having come out for the old hero a
few days after we first put him forward as candi-
date, after the reception Of the first news of the
battles Of Pslo Alto and Resaca. lie is a good
appointment, and We hope the Senate will prompt
Iy confirm him. Apropos OF the appointments--we
suppose that the most Of them now hanging by the
eyelids in the Senate, will all soon be confirmed
hugh Maxwell and all. The cabinet is now be-
fore several committees on their irial-and, Of
course, the smaller fry Of appointments are not
worth fighting about, when higher game is in view

uPRoAR IN THE CABiNET.-A few cabinet organs,
such as the Washington Repubtic, the North
AMERICAN and the N,o York Courier and En-
qu,rr, have drawn the sword and thrown away
the scabbard in defence of the very awkward po-
sition into which their patrons of the administration
have been preciptated. Messrs. Clay, Webster,
and the wing party in general, are most bitterly and
violently denounced, in every form and shape, by
the cabinet organs. Two reasons may be assigned
for this singular hostility shown by the cabinet to
the great leaders and wing party. The first is the
neglect shown by Congress TO the cabinet mea-
sures, relative to the slavery question; the other
ARISES from the passage, by the House OF Repre-
sentatives, Of several resolutions tending to an in
vestigation into the corruptons and mal-practices
charged against a majority of the cabinet.
Well, well, this terrible eruption of bad temper
by the cabinet and their organs, will not tend to
smooth their way, or to annu the resolutions in re-
ference to the investigation. 1t will only help 10
Tylerize the administration, and make the Senate
scan with greater severity many of the cabinet
appointments now before that body. The Collector,
and many other appointments in this city, may look
out for squalls in consequence of this bitter and
violent controversy between the cabinet organs and
the great wing leaders in Congress.

In fact, the whole Of the gold region Of California
is now held by few dozen spectators, who got up
the convention and formed the constitution, and
who don't want California admitted by Congress,
ill these doubtful titles are all confirmed. The con-
vention, under that influence, passed constitution
with clause abolishing black slavery, up to the
day Of judgment; but they have established
landed aiistocracy, and white slavery among the
gold diggers, worse and baser than that in the
