WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 8. '53
There will be change in the "Uait"
very soon; for while Marcy Gushing is the
Premier of this Administration, A close
observer will perceive that while the 9th
er members OF the Cabinet are busy
about the current business and daily de-
tails of their respective Departments, Ca
Ieb Gushing. "who rises early and takes
late rest" eating only Goldfish and pota-
toes, and drinking only molasses and
water, is experimenting the Presidents
executive education; and he so contrives
TO occupy the time of the President, in
learning his lessons, that he has become
to be regarded as sort OF schoolmaster,
and is feared and obeyed accordingly by
the President. The things works admi-
rably, and instead of Marcy debating in
struction TO our Foreign Ministers, Caleb
Cushing, with Dudley Mann and The
temporary counsel of Buchanan, direct
all the foreign instructions, except as re.
CARDS Central America. Marcy, seeing
show the cat jumps" and how Caleb has
got the hang of the President, is taking
lessons in French, without the dancing.
There will be no change however in
the Cabinet, until it is ascertained if Mr.
Soule will be received as Minister to
Spain. Should il turn out that Mr.. Soule
will not be received, then Mr.. Marcy,
who spent the winter in Cuba, and is ia.
miliar with all the local advantages of thai
island, will repair to Spain, and Gen. Dix
will come into the Cabinet, and Wise ot
Virginia will go to France, and Caleb
Gushing comes in as his successor TO the
State Department, and Dix deals out the
bullion in your Custom House.
The ilustrious Col. Benton has return.
ed from his trip to Missouri, from whence
he started off Beal's Exploring Expedi.
ton, on the great Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad route, flanked by a vast multi.
tude of Missourians. who accompanied
them some days journey on their route
with shouts, and cheers and the flowing
of champagne concluded by the benedic'
ton of Col. Benton 1t was meet and
proper that Col. Benton, the first great
apostle (aiter Jefferson of this great ma
tional enterprise, connected with com
merce, & connecting the two great oceans
should be present TO give impetus and
encouragement to such an exploring ex
pedition, and add his blessing and bene.
diction thereto; to 60 along with it even
to the Pacific. Col. Benton looks we'll
hale, hearty, and full Of vigor, with no in
dications of infrmity or old age about
him. May he live to see this great work
completed !
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, than whom
no man contributed more TO the nomlna.
ton Of Franklin Pierce in the Baltimore
Convention. has been twice telegraphed
TO como 10 Washington. He came, was
inviIed t6atlfie at the White House, and
was aohnderstand, in Yankee OF
PickWiOhihn way, that the President
would be very happy TO meet his wishes
if he would but make them known. Mr.
Wise understood the matter perfectly,
and would hot beg. Here the matter
rests. The proud son Of the old Domin'
ion will not bend the knee TO a son of the
Granite State, who is his junior in years
and is inferior in all that goes 10 make
up aman. The President has peculiar
Pickwickian way Of doing things, and j
he has not chosen John Tyler, OF blessed
memory, as IL model he has selected
some OF his best friends as his advisers
among whom Caleb Gushing and Paul R
George rank as A, No. /. The old or
gan, under the very able editorial charge
Of Gen. Armstrong, has commenced an
early defence OF the Administration
which looks rather omnous Of conscious
weakess and dissatisfaction somewhere
The Union also contains now and then
puff extraordinary of Caleb Gushing, the
vetran hero of the old Tyler guard. l''
interesting--yery!
