AN OFFER.

We freely tender the use of our advertising
columns TO the President elect to enable him
10 obtain Cabinet. We can think of no bet
ter way for him to proceed in his present strait
than to advertise for seven good, able-bodied
men to assist him in administering the Govern
ment for four years from the fourth of March
next. Let him state what their points and
qualifications should be- if he likes But We
should suggest that he had better not go too
much into detail beyond requiring good con-
stitutions and thick hides. He might, per-
haps, add that men of elastic cOnsciences, aud
those who would work kindly in harness, would
be preferred.
We are prompted solely by the spirit of phi
lanthropy in this offer. 1t seems to US that
Mr. Pierce is in world Of trouble There are
at least seventeen independent sections of his
party which insist upon being represented in
the Cabinet; and each of these sections has as
many as ten different candidates All Of one
hundred and seventy men are prominent appl.
eants for the post of Secretary. What viii
become Of Mr.. Pierce, unless he shuts himself
up entirely, and takes the course We indicate,
We are panied 10 conjecture. Let him do it,
and dare the worst and let him not see an
applicant, or the friends OF an applicant. Let
him have only consulting physician in attend
anee, 10 make examinations Let the Presi-
dent elect lay down certain qualifications, and
trust to the Doctor for the rest Subject all
to the one test. Let ali hands be stripped to
the buff and treated with rigid impartiality
by the medical examinatOr. Gentlemen appl.
cants, will you not prepare Come, Hard
Shells and Soft Shells, Hunkers, Flibustiers.
Fogies, Young Americans, Barnburners, Wild
Cats, WooIly Heads, UniOnists aud Disunion-
lists, ComprOmisers and anti-C ompromisers-
come one, come al, TO the grand Cabinet-mak-
ing Fair. Drive up your teams and hasten in
to the show Let Mr.. Pierce's Doctor see
sample of the whole calabash, and decide this
vexed question without further ado
Seven men are wanted, Of good habits, GOOD
tempers, thick skins, India rubber natures; "a.
Gle, flexible, robust and, above all, sound"
men-sOund N mind and limb-sOund on the
Constitution-sound ON the Union-sound On
the niggers, on Cuba, Sonora, SANTANA, Hon.
durss, Logwood, Hsyti, Fillibustiering and. in
short, on all national questions
We desire TO see this matter of the Cabinet
ended. II meets US in every shape We run
against il on every corner. The papers are full
oft. We read forty-two solemn editorials on
the subject last week; and pretty near every
writer Of the whole batch confidently expected
that Gen. Pierce would follow bis advice. What
columns Of mortal agony are expended On this
fruitful theme And this ia not the WORT Of
II. DeputatiOns are going to Mr.. Pierce. Pa
titions are circulating Recommendation, are
being sent in. Every Electoral College ia hs.
ing reassembled. Every State Legislature I.
in caucus on the subject. Every leading man
Of every State is being consulted Evsrv
asiute politician Of the times has laid down hi.
aEoeation ismmed bis Ia. down over his eyes.

BANKING ASst SPEoIE.-In reference TO
suggestion in our paper Of the 10Th, that Banks
ought to be required to keep on hand an amount
Of coin equal to one third Of their circulation
a cashier forcibly writes;
The laws OF the State 81 Connecticut compel the
Banks of that State to keep hand specie equal to ten
per cent Of their circulation which they do In addition
TO redeemng at par at the Suffolk Boston, aud in many
Instances at the Metropolitan Bank OF your City
Any soand Bank il willing TO do thus much, but il
would hardly be fair 10 ask Bank to fully secure the
public by the deposit Of premium stocks aud then to
keep in ts vaults dollar specie TO every three In
circulation This would be amply securing twothirds
and dou6ly securing the other third

M,ISE.-GOv HUBBARD.-We recently ex-
pressed hope that ex-Goy. JOHN HUBsARD
would be the new L. S. Senator from Maine
HereuPon several Silver Gray journals which
have been pussily anxious for the welfare of the
Wing party ever since they killed it, have la
bored with us very seriously. TAe Rochester
american, Troy Bhig and Boston Courier have
made themselves busy in the premises.
Now We heartily wish Maine were Tenn
peraDce Wing State but she is not, and We
ike her pretty we'll as Temperance Demo
cratic State. Were she Wing, We should ex-
pect and desire the election of Wing U. s.
Senator; but as she VIGOROUSLY is not, and her
Legislature is not, We shall rejoice to chronicle
the election of Gov. Hubbard as Senator II
Wing Senator can be chosen, we have moth
ing to say against it, though We place no high
estimate on snap judgments and minority tri-
umphs. But if Wing cannot be chosen-as
We presume is the case--we trust the Ten
perance Wings in the Legislature viii give
Gov. Hubbard their votes, whenever they can
do him any good. He has been hardly used
with regard to the Goyernorship, and his cleo
ton to the u. S Senate would be noble
atonemelt. Shall il not be made

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

For years, the Canadian advocates of what
is called Reciprocity have been deluded with
the idea that hs Wing party was the great OBJ
stacle 10 their success-that the triumph OF
Democracy in our National Councils would
secure the contamination of their desires Yet
the so-called Reciprocity scheme has just been
stilened in the House Committee of Com
erce,--the only two Members Of that Com
mitteewho supported Gen Scott voting for it,
while only two of the sir Pierce men did like
wise! Every Southern Member voted Nay
How is this, Messrs HiRcks Il Co.. Is this
the entertainment 10 which you were invited
Is the prospect as enchanting as you fancied
it Is Democracy all that fancy painted
herr Let US hear
The Reciprocity scheme, as presented by It's
Canadian advocates, never had leg to stand
upon. Had it been ever so good thing intrin-
siealy, the name was utterly deceptive Cana
ia would never have taken one dollars worth
of our products under il where we should have
taken five Of hers. II would have involved us
in serious diplomatic controversies with For.
eign Powers whose products We have bar.
gained to receive on the terms accorded TO
the most favored Nations And beside, the
South never smiled on IT, IL never could com.
Prehend the Reciprocity of taking Canadian
products free, while Canada took next to
nothing OF us on the same terms, runaway
slaves excepted. And what the South don't
Ike isn't easily accomplished at Washington.
Hence, for the most opposite yet equally potent
reasons, Reciprocity was inexOrably doomed.
Peace 70 its ashes

Last of samau, for the Present.

The Journal d. Hare Of Dec. 81 makes the
following statements with regard TO the
rumored occupation of SANTANA by the French
forces. They may be regarded as authoritative
and put the question at rest for the present,

plished

extent startling to people Of staid and sober

upon this question, that the expression of

party alliances. and to raise doubts Of fidelity
