Harris0n's Cabinet.

The six members who composed General Harrison's cabinet are now all assembled in Washington, and in the enjoyment ol perfect health. Ten years have rolled by since they were called to the capitol to form whig administration, ard yet time has made little,-er any serious impression upon any of its number. There are few more remarkable examples of any equal number of men, who became connected together al the same period of life, being in such a state of preservation now. Two of the six, Mir. Webster and Mr. Crittenden, are members of the present administration.

Extraordinary Development of Native
 Talent.

The most remarkable instance of forgery of which we have lately heard has trans. plred within tew days past 2. y.aoG i under Government, and failing to obtain an ap- pointment in the regular way, stole, took or procured from the desk of Secretary Stuart's office, the skeleton form of an ap- pointment to the Census Office. Mr. Stuart's name was already appended 10 it, and the aspirant had but 10 insert his own name and a few other items interesting 10 himself. Thus fortified, he presented him self to MT. Kennedy, who had him sworn in, assigned him desk, and set him to work at simple addition, so much practiced in this office. Mir. k., who has himself gone mach farther in the arithmetic, brought to bear upon his new clerk and his credentials such powers of analysis as soon led him to con- clude that there was screw loose some where; and only few words with the Secretary were required to make the case a very clear one.
 How it came to pass that the novice got wind of the detection we do not know; but this we do know, that when sought for soon after he could not be found. He had ex- hibted clerkly talent and business knowl- edge of high order, and was too modest to await the measure of approval they were destined to bring him.
 Several cities boast of having given birth to the inventor of the art of printing, and the human family, therefore, continue in somewhat of quandary on the subject. Lest this should be the case also with re- ference to the parsonage who has at this time so signally illustrated himself, we en- brace this occasion to say that he belongs to the city already distinguished as the thea tre of Colonel Pluck's glory-the city of Philadelphia. Washington Republic.

President Fillmore.

The Mobile Advertiser says:-"Millard Fillmore is one of the best Presidents that ever filled the Executive chair, and we should be greatly pleased to see him rein stalled by the election of 1852. He has been tried in a severe ordeal, and has pro- ved himself to be the genuine metal. If the people want good President, they can not better accomplish their wish than by electing Willard Fillmore" Toall of which we heartily respond AMEN.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, BUFFALo-CHARGE
OF JUDGE coNcKLING TO THE GRAND JURY.
BUFFALO, November H. 1851
Judge Conckling delivered his charge to the Grand
Jury in the Of the Syracuse rioters to-day Its
tone is moderate and impartial In the course Of his
charge be said: Gentlemen, sorry to say that in
the execution Of my judicial duties have been made
acquainted with certain other gross nractons of the
laws of the United States into which will be your duty
to nquire and the offences which aude are novel
in this district it is proper that should briefly explain
their nature" The learned Judge then alluded to that
article Of the constitution Of the United States which
crdans that persons held to service under the laws
State escaping into another State shall be delivered
up Sc and TO the act Of Congress of 1898 passed for the
purpose Of carrying its provisions into effect After
pointing out the changes made by the Fugitive Slave
law in reclaimipg and apprehendng fugves aud read
ing the seventh section Of the act the Judge briefly
planned the nature Of the charges against the parties
concluding as Acknowledging pointed out you
your duty gentlemen shall not detain you by under
taking to vindicste the constitutional provisions by
which this duty imposed for called only to see to
it's faithful performance Such attempt would my
Judgment be insult to your understandings an
Impeachment Of your integrity Surely, it be
necessary to inform any Grand Jury that judicia
tribunal is not invested with legislative authority to
enact or repeal laws at pleasure but that on the
rafy Its sole function is to understand and mparts
apply the existing laws. As men OF common and
enlightened citizens you must know this already well
as do and TO exhort you to the honest fulflmsnt Of
the duties 1t implies and which you have just ssmny
sworn to execute, would be to impute TO you willing
ness to violate your duty and your oaths And what
right have to do this any than you have to i'm
pute the like TO me OF court Of criminal jurisdic-
on the Grand Jury, no less than the Judge constitute
essential component part Both alike the
ministers Of the law and bound obey its mandates
lt Is thought that the rioters will not be tried here
but only the indictment found The trials will probably
take place at Albany.
