Mr.. Tom Corwiu and tho Florida CIaiH,s-
Rotten Condition OF the Cabinet.

We have on several occasions given intinetions
that there ws- something 20 rotten and weak in
certain portion vi the present cabinet Of Mr..
Fillmore, that change must soon take place.
General Tay.or's cabinet had tho same disorder,
which was called C;alphinisin, but il was Of
Less malignant typo. Opo Of these limitations
rested on the connection which Mr.. Corwin-
perchance othershad with certain Florida interest
and Mexican claims, which looked much like
the old GalpliA business, that, under inycstisa-
ton by committee If tho House Of Hoprc-cnta-
tpes, similar result could be pre- dicted oc Il; in
hucn,e Tie statement was vaguely contradictcj
IN certain urnformcd quarters; but VIC lnd fully
authenticated, even beyond first pub.s alton. ia
