President PieIce's Cabinet.
/ The iuii.ious selection OF Cabinet officers made
by Gen. Pierce appears 10 We universal satisfaction
10 the Democratic party. and TO the country.
/ The men selected command the confidence Of all
parties and sections. They are men no have here.
,ofore occupied high positions, and demonstrated
their capacity their integrity and devotion to the
coungry,-and aIhouh they are selected irom the
No.th and the South, the East and the West, there
IS every reason TO believe that their public acts will
recognize no sectional Influences but being guided
solely by national principles, viii! maintain the dsni.
~ and secure The permanency Of the American Un-
ION. The Milwaukee "Wisconsin" represents the
peculiar capacity OF each of the Cabine, officers ior
! the position he occupies, thus
"rhc selection of William l.. Marcy 70, the State
! Department could not have been improved Gov.
Marcy has pecvs,iv the confidence OF the .ssoid
meu'' Of the Na,on. The industrial interests can
feel assured that he is the last man 70 do any act to
provoke His administration of the War De-
partment under President Polk enabled him to evincc
the reach Of his ability in any executive ,rust while
his mastery drspairhcs show that he handles pen
inferior American Statesman living Forum
aiel., he is nothing of the fibusticr. We have,
therefore, every expect from his inpor ttnt
department, strong but peaceful attitude of our coun
in all Of its foreign relations We believe thai the
people viii he satisfied from the results that he can
abiy fill oince in which he has had such i'ustrous
predecessors as Everett Webster, Buchanan, CLAW
Adams, Madison, and jefferson. There is not per
who is engaged in extended enterpi Use
bot who viii hail the elevation of Marcy the sure
ha bngcr Of uprig ht, firm, and peaceful foreign
policy.
James Guthrie, who is called TO the Treasury De-
parncnt, is not widel, known. But Mr.. Guth-
r. a il, of II kN, ,t
those clear headed democrats Of tho street const,uc-
ton school, who are just pee uliarly needed at
Washington TO Put All end to all kinds Of plunterng.
SwndlIng the government has grown into science
and il will need giant in energy aud in virtue TO
nrn the carrent and stop all lehags the People
Tieasuy. We can hope for nothing better than that
President Pierce may turn out to be jefferson in the
economy of his government, and James Guthrie
prove To be his Abe,, Gaiatin. They have work
before them equal to what Jefferson had when he was
elected to succeed John Adams.
OF Robert McClsliand there needs not much to be
said IN the Northwest, for his is household
word, OF the wothie>t, truest and NEST honor
able of her His spoless integrity, his ntiring
Industry and his good renders hun one of the
most valuable Counscllors If the President His Sc
lection brnss great popular strength to the Adj
ninl>tiation.
The Secretary OF the Navy, Mr.. Dobbin, is a man
OF honesty. ereryy and ability. His unpretcnd.ng
caarac;e. has heretofore rendered him less prominent
than his merits deserved. He has served in the
tionse OF Representatives with rare fidelity to his
constituents, and wa, recently a candidate Of the y
Carolina democrats for the L. ). Senate.
jefferson Davis, the Secretary Of War ha,
had military education at West Point--has served
m Mexico and is practically qualified for the impor-
ant Department over which he is called to preside
He distinguished leader of the State Rights par
ty, and was blough. into the Cabiuet So that the
whole party could feel assured OF being represented
James Campbell the new Pos,mas,e, General, pos
sesses unliing industry, which, combined with his
ability, and practical character, will give the coun-
Try better Post Office mana cement than il has had
under tn, previous Aduiiuisi alton.
Caleb Cushing of Massachusetts, the Attorney
General of the marked men of the age, Mr. Ct.h
ing IS said to be President Pierce's 'own man I'M
lIag that h peculiarly enjoys the confidence Of the
PRESIDENT Mr. 4. has national reputation inferior
10 that of no American of his years living. His ab,I-
ny Will be under stood when we state that n. one
doubts that he could ably I'LL any place in the Cahi-
net. His versatility OF talent is extraordinary, and
h. j. one of those few msn who rise under pressure
HIS insNhan-tale resOmceS, c,nbincd with an iron
energy, renders him d man OF vast power IN whatev.
er he undertakes, and we have no doubt that he will
WELD strong iniucace 18th in the Cabinet and with
the President.
Such Statesmen are the chosen counsell,rs of Pres
iient Pierce. That some hol e. must be disappoint-
ed certain. He has called around him a class of
men IN whom ihP whole Country can have confidence,
as we can say mat IL Is by n" means partisan Cab
met. Their location Is regularly f,i,u,ate Cusb
IN represents New En-, land; Marcy the erea, conn
nercal centre of America; CAM bell the consrrya-
tive middle; Dol'bin the Cuon-lnvlg South: Davis
the extreme and fiery South Guthi ie the Southwest,
and McClland that CROWN, arm OF our copt.dr,ac,
which Is vet destined 10 he greater than a,l-,be
