pose Of enabling it to meet any extraordinary
exigencies that might ariso in thelforcign rcla'

criticism. with the Wing press. A newspaper

rumor were true-and We do not wish to be ur-
derstood as meaning to discreditit--we imagine
there is nothing in the proposed measure to JUS

if at any period it were necessary and proper, it

1t is impossible to foresec what momentous ma.

Gen. Picrcc,s Cabinet.

Our eastern exchanges have been during tho
sn,iro winter teoming with specua,ions upon
the subject Of the Cabinet OF the president elect.
1t is natural that the whole country should
feel deep interest in the selection Of the con.
fdsntial advisers Of him who is to control tho
dcstnies of this great nation for four years
from the fourth of March next. 1t is right that
this subject should receive the attention Of the
public and be canva.sod by the public press
and the people. tits just as important tina. the
interests Of the various sections of our common
country, be understood and properly represen.
ted in the executive department of the govern.
mcnt as i'm any other department. And it
would seem indispensable to the successful
and satisfactory administration of the widely
extended and diversified duties Of the eXccu
tive that these constitutional advisors, and as
sstants, should come from each important di-
vision of the union. from the north and south,
and from the cast and west.
We desire more especially, to claim for the
| great west, ouc representative in the executive
departments at Washington; one man, who not
only has the disposition TO guard and protect
the interests Of the west, but ono whose past
life and public servic es have demonstrated his
knowledge of the wants, and capacity to pro-
vide for the interests, OF our frontier citizens
so remote from the seat of Government.
The Office of Secretary of the Interior ought
| to y filled by western man. The principal
duties Of his Office pertain to the interests of the
government in the territories and Tho we,tcrl
states. 1t is necessary to the proper dischar5'
of his duties for the benefit of the Government
as well as the people who are to be affected b,
his action. If this lin our opnion)u.t course i
f adopted in the selection of the Cabinet of Pres
f ident pnEcE. We would suggest the name of til
Hon. AuGUsrus c. DopGE of this state; who's
t an.eccdcnts point him out. as the person OF a.
! Others sin the west, most eminently qualife
: to fill that post. His universally ndInitte
$ high character for ability and moral woril
= would make him fit associate for the Gallar
u PIERCE. He is 4 western man in every sens
Of the word and in,m ntely acquainted wilt
all the wants and interests of the west. AZ
= politician he has been as true TO the nation;
democratic faith. as the noble young sta,
i which he so well represents. Indeed the stat
: owes much to his wise and firm adherannce
principle for the high and cnviab!e charact,
, she now maintains for political consistency
being the only northern state that has neyt
gone astray.
u We therefore feel confident that no man
} the union could discharge the duties of hi
post better for the interest of the country
with more honor to the administration an
, himself And the entire west could not be otl
= crwis" than gvatifed and complimen,ed by h
> appointment.
