w
thing about the new Cabinet, by repcblish'
inc the following remarks from the Louis
vile Journal. 1, was certainly with some
surprise we heard of the appointment of
Gen. Marcy for the first position inthe Cab
met. So violent had had been the opPos'l
ton by...Young America" headed by sucn
men as the .6re-eater Iof the Democratic
Review, that we had really supposed
Marcy would be thrown overheard to concIi-
ate that wing of Democracy. But II APP
I pears Mr.. Pierce either has not attacked
much impor lance to the rawlings OF "founs
America" or thought its voice entirely too
youthful to be needed. 49,
We we're not surprised, however, to hnd
in the Cabinet, Jeff. Davis, the secesionist.
His name has been connected with it in al
most every rumor-yet as secesslonist'
as man who has ordently labored for the
dissolution of this union, Gen. Pierce might
have spared the patriotic feelings Of the
country this insult. What is it but reward
for that very spirit, we have all SO uni'ediy
condemned as deserving no ether reward
but the rope! lie is dangerous man in any
position, and the more dangerous to the
Union the higher the position in which he
be placed. He has talent, but not the heart
Tor soul Of a true American.
The Journals remarks about Cushing,

heard him deliver an excellentWhig speech.
He Yas an earnest laborer for Harrison in
1910. After the death of Harrison, and the

of the Democratic party. We know that

most earnest and even client remonstrances

S merous Democratic quarters, and for time
the impression very generally prevailed
among both Democrats and Wings that those

. We presume that none who read the Dem.
o ocratic Review last spring can have forgot-
ton the fierce, the perfectly savage as
j saults which that great organ of the Demo-
crazy made upon G ". Marcy. Mr.. NJ, as
we have already said, is man of considera-
n bic ability, but throughout his public life he
las figured as a partizan rather than as /. ,
u statesman. He has filled various Offices
: in his own State and in the national councils
IS but we are not aware that he ever made a
,, speech or put forth document which gave
evidence that he is capable of an enlightened
? devotion sof his inte llectual powers TO the
u cause of his whole country or the great in
terests of humanity. We can scarcely dare
to hope that hewiil sustain himself with hon.
or to himself and to the nation in that i'm
portant department of the Government which
y has just been filled by Daniel Webster and
: and Edward Everett. Still we are willing
n and more than willing to find ourselves dis,
: appointed. We, freely acknowledge that
4 Young Americas hostility. to Gov. Marcy,
though dangerous to him and his party, is
not at all to his discredt. .7aT --s'a -,
Weneed not repeat our opinion of Mr.

!. We believe that he is qualified or will very
soon make himself qualified for the Office.
and that he will discharge its important du-
: ties as we'll as any other man OF his party
e could discharge them. He will lend himself
J. to no reckless schemes Of innovation, and
L we rejoice that he is disting ushed for an in.
fiexiblty of purpose that will constitute
trong guaranty against any danger of his be-
ing overwhelmed by the mischevious nflu-
ences that may surround him. Ii
Mr.. Nee Iceland, the Secretary of the In
II terror, is little known throughout the country.
: In his own State, Michigan, he has been
busy and devoted partisan Of Gen. Cass.-
A lew years ago he was Freesoiler, but he
abandoned the Freesoil party when he con-
n ceived that the interests of Cass demanded
= abandment. He was active in procuring the
passage of a-resolution through the Michi.
