Pes.nsduaniaa, which may be considered the
official organ Of Mr.. Buchanan's administration
pro tenn, hes taken up the business OF Cabinet
making, with the other journals, and gives its
views upon this important subject As this
comes from Forney, who was formerly the chief
of the Kitchen Cabinet of Mr.. Pierce, and who
was the manager Of the recent election in Penn
sylvania, it is entitled to due consideration.
Here is Mr.. Forney's list Of a Cabinet, which he
has made out in order to please this .commu-
nity:-
YORK HERALD
Secretary Of the 7reasnry-rnomas McElrash, Of the
secretary of the lntenorHoracs Greeley, Of the 7i
SECRETARY Of wsr-Jamos Watson Webb, the Courier
seerssa', the N.vy-Henry J. Raymond, q the Now
Poe,mas,er General--wliiam Cullen Bryant, of the
Ere.:ag POST with their co-laborer In the Fremont
editorial fraternity, Fred Dousass ~ Attorney Gene
yal.
Let this 60 for what it is worth. Forney evil
IDENTIFY knows the best interests Of the incoming
adminissr alton. He has appropriately placed
Fred. Douglass on the list, If he intends Il I
Fred. shall occupy the position in the kitchen
lately filed by Forney. Fred. is particularly
adapted to the position, by his color and ante
cedents. We have heard that Fred. looks very
much like torney, and is fully as white. He has
more talent than the late chef de ciiaae, and il
more honest. When he goes to market to par
chase the beef steaks and other arrangements for
dinner, he viii not impose upon the guests Of the
White House ON Inferior article.
BadiEage apart, We have not as yet seen any
definite indication from any quarter as to the Sc
1t is true that many Of the distinguished men
who have supported him have been mentioned in
this connection, and naturally attract public at
tention and create passing excitement. But
the men are Of little consequence compared to
the platform and principles of the new admins
tration. If Mr.. Buchanan continues the policy
-cf Pierce in relstion to Kansas, he will merely
end where Pierce has ended. In the recent cleo
ton Mr.. Buchanan only escaped defeat by the
skin Of his teeth and by the accidental ignorance
or trcache-y Of some Of the leaders Of the repuD-
lican cause in Pennsylvania. That escape win
teach him the necessity Of thorough review Of
every department Of the government, and OF
adopting such line Of policy as viii reinstate
he democratic party in its popularity before the
country. II he does not adopt new lire Of policy
calculated to effect this object nothing can pre-
vent the overwhelming defeat Of the democratic
party In 1860. Mr. Buchanan stands In o mos,
important position. lie has it in bis power 70
raise the democracy from its ruins-to revive 1t
in all its strength and popularity, and during the
t-p. tr-aa 10 rroo nd TO-
the republican party, which has been brought
into life and kept together by the magic name Of
Fremont.
No abandonment Of principle In required TO re-
animate that great party which has almest been
destroyed by poor pitifui Piercc's folly. Mr.
buchanan must give the KansasNebraska nc.
fair play in IL Territory which IL was made TO
govern He rust prevent the outside interfe-
renee Of border rufIians, whether they come from
the North or the South; and the settlers must be
protected from all Truptions from any section or
for any purpose They must decide upon their
own domestic institutions according TO their
knowledge Of the climate, soil and character Of
the population
Neither can the violent disunionists Of the
South object to fair and equitable decision, even
If 1t should decree that Kansas shall be q free
State. If the policy OF Mr.. Buchanan should lead
to the admission Of Ksnsas into the Union "a
free State, II win replensh the ranks Of the de-
mocracy in all the Northern and Western States,
and lay upon The shelf the republican party,
crushing oil Interpretations which the leaders Of
that troop Of militia have formed for the next
Presidential Campaign.
