the thorough paZan correspondent Of the Hhig Phlade-

Speculaons about Cabinets are but wishes which arc la-
theirs 10 the thoughts Gei Pierce has like wise man,
set up old iapocraes for his model ard at times 10
have list faculty u speech. His RESPONSES when
given qmc explicit those OF The DEL phc oracle
und are nvaa IL satisfactory those who apply their own
constructions In word il the President elect should prove
himself as GccrG he has thus far shown himself discreet
he will have successful administration, and avoid the dan.
gers which besel his path.
Delicate and trying questions will doubtless spring up
and even with cabinet oil most experienced statesmen
OF the country may be difficult matter 10 Keep The Ship
will be ceercd in its hopes by the firm and manly style in
which Pierce has hitherto met difficulties in the face and
rumphed over the o. the Constitution and the last
ing Interests of the Union.
