general imp ression that he has uniformly

dangerous movements Of Cushing. II was
his hand which curbed Mr.. Soule in his era
" career, and which effectuslly snufied out

owing to Mr.. Marcy that Col. Kinney did

a cause for congratulation If he had been
able TO eGeetually interpcse his influence in

the pro-slavery procliyities Of the President
and the majority of the cabinet were too de-
