net which Gen. Pierce had resolved to nomi.
nate, and which he is not likely to modify. I,
is as follows:
Secretary Of Stare. :. WILLIAM L. MARCY. N. York
Do. ofth Trnar.yy. JAMES GUTHRIE. ofKy

Do. of1e Var. JAMES @. DOBBIN, ofN. C.

Pos,zaae- General. JAMES CAMPBELL, Of Pa
Atisrpey General CALEB CUSHING, Of Mass
The gentlemen thus selected are very u1e-
quail in ability, experience and fitness. Gov
MARor has eminent qualifications, and will
preside over his Department with commenda-
bic energy and industry. He is all politician,
an aspirant for the Presidency, and personally
obnoxious TO the Hard-Shelr interest in or
State, but he knows how to dispense patronage
skillfully and we think he viii bring them to
their milk in due season. We feel for our
Hard-Shelr friends, and if they had pressed
CHARLES O'CosoR for the Cabinet, should
have desired their success, but who could have
expected them to succeed with Dickinson
Gov. Marcy was backed by our SOft-Shells
also by Mr.. Buchanan. Mr. GUTHRIE is an
able and wealthy lawyer Of Louisville, life
long opponent of Mr.. Clay and every measure
looking toward Slave Emancipation, once chosen
to the State Senate from Louisville, and we be-
Eeve Member of the late Constitutional Con-
vention. He has had no experience in National
matters, and it is rather bold stroke to call
him at once TO the head Of the Treasury, yet
it may turn out we'll Hon. William o. Butler
of Ky. is understood TO have been his chief
hacker for the post, and will probably be
pressed in turn by Mr. Guthrie for desirable
Foreign Mission.
Col. JErr DAVIS is the fsvorite and represen-
tative at Court of the State Rights party,
having fought the Compromise, tooth and
toena, to the last. and resigned his seat on ac-
count of it to take the Southern Rights nomi-
nation for Governor of Mississippi. He was
beaten by bis late colleague, Gen. Henry S.
Foote, man every way his inferior. who re-
ceived nearly all the Wing and a shred Of the
Democratic vote as the Union candidate,
and was elected by about 900 majority in
nearly 10000 notes.-the largest poll ever
made in the State. Now the Union party ia
dissolved and FoOte & Co go to the wall, being
hated by the Southern Rights array a good
deal more intensely than if they were Wings.
Foote has always cherished hope of getting
back to the u. S Senate, which this appoint
ment Of Davis completely explOdes IL don't
hurt man one whit 10 have fought the Com.
promise to the bitter end if he only did il on
the side of Slavery; it is only devotion to
Freedom that is unforgiven.
Mr.. J. c. DoBBN was for one term in Con-
grees, where he gained no distinction, was run
cut (if We mistake not at its close, aud was a
candidate for L. s. Senator before the present
Legislature of North Carolina, but could not
get elected though his party had majority of
four in Joint Ballot He may be strong man,
but if so the Country has not yet discovered
the fact.
Mr.. McCLELLAsD is the present Governor
of Michigan, elected in 1851, when he received
nearly the entire Free Soil and Abolition vote,
aud reelected last Fall by the vote of his own
party. He served some years in the State
Legislature, and finally became it's Speaker,
thence passing into Congress, where he served
six years, and voted for the Wilmot Proyiso
throughout, though he, warm supporter of
Gen. Cas-, went out in March, 40, before the
Compromise was proposed. He went on a
pilgrimage 10 WilmOts District, PENNSYLVANIA.
in the fall of Is, but did not succeed in bring.
ing it round TO Cass In Congress, he always
voted for River and Harbor improvements.
Gov. McClellsnd is not prepossessing in his
manners, nor IN any sense great man, but he
has always been credited with integrity and
industry. Gen. Cass is known to have pressed
him for place in the Cabinet.
Mr.. CAsPBELL'S elevation presents singu-
lar instance OF man owing his good fortune to
misfortune and TO bis profession of an un-
popular faith He lisa Philadelphia lawyer of
small caliber and incensderable position, but
Roman Catholic in faith, who was first brought
forward conspicuously as a candidate for the
Supreme Bench Of the State in 1851. By
skilfal appeals to his co-relgionists, and rally.
ing them to the Primary Meetings in his be-
bali, Delegation Of bis hackers was secured
from Philadelphia County, which gave him the
nomination. But the nomination was so unjus.
tined by any standing OF Mr. Campbell at the
Bar that strong repugnance was excited by
it, and while Gov. Bigler and four Justices on
the Democratic ticket were elected by 1000
majority, Mr.. Campbell was defeated by 5000
He thus became martyr to his religion and
man whom the party must take care of, if they
would not risk the fatal loss of the Catholic
vote. Hewas immediately appointed Attorney
General OF the State BIZ Coy. Riolar and has
