A Ouery.

TO the Editor Of tie New York Doilv
1tmes-Dear Sir will YOU be kind
enough TO give me your opinion on a
question which arose to-day between my
self and some others, namely: "If Buch
anan should die before the Electoral College
meets, would or would not BrceknridSe
necessarily be the next President J"
AS there is something pending on your
decision, an answer at your earliest conye-
nianco will oblige one of your subscribers.
The Electoral Cs.lleae js-at. President
whom it may prefer. Unless majority of
its members see fit, they need not vote for
Mr.. Buchanan at all. And in the event of
his death, they would of course retain the
same privilege and could elect Mr.. Breck-
inrige, Col. Fremont, or Stephen II. Branch,
as they might prefer. They are chosen by
the people to eject President. What re-
stricts their choice to the popular candid
ates is custom-not law. The Constitution
knows no election of President by the peo-
ple-but only by the Electors chosen by
the people.

Cotton Estimates.

Wright's New York Circular of last
Wednesday rather checks the late tenden-
cy to tho exaggerated estimates of the cot.
ton crop. Ho says:
In my last circular, ventured upon the
opinion that the crop for this season would
not reach 100000 bales. l have nothing
since from the South to induce me to en-.
large it; on the contrary, see moro and
more reason to reterate it. Some parties
in New Orleans, influenced by heavy re-
ceipts, are disposed to name large figure
Let the receipts be light for few weeks
and the same gentlemen would drop at
once to 100000 to 100000 as the max
imum the receipts this season if relied
upon as the indication of probable crop,
at least before March next, will only tend to
mslcad and cause disappointment. There
are and have been since the season bcnan
unusual inducements for planters to hurry
their crop to market, and with the excep
ton of Mobile, the facilities for so doing
have been good the only surprise is, that
the total does not show an excess up to this
date of $4,000 to 100000 bales as COM
pared with the same data last year it was
quite within the range of probability and
yetls entirely consistent with crop result
ing in somewhat less than 100000 bales.
Receipts show decrease as compared with
last year, and large as they are at the South
it is not probable that after next week thew
will be again as much as in any week last
year, with perhaps ali accidental execution.
until after the middle Of April next. Ex-
ports are still small, and for Livcrpool must
necessarily continue SO for some time. buy
ing for all markets in the South is free ex-
cept Great Britain.

The New Cabinet.

The New York Herald Times, and others of
the Northern papers, not content with merely
specializing upon the probable complexion of
the next Cabinet, have constituted themselves
confidential advisers of the President in the
matter, and have proceeded to discuss,
pro and CON, the various claims of the most
prominent members of the Democratic par
ty. The capacity, availability, and pop
ularity of the various claimants are dis
posed of quite summarily, and the mind Of
the President is sought to be prcjudiced for or
against this or that mon. =, l.. h~ppeno To be
or not to be, fayorite of these selfconsttuted
advisers The modest assurance of the charac
ter assumed, can only be cqualled by the folly
OF the attempt Mr.. Buchanan, from his en-
larged experience, is certainly the most compe-
tent Judge of the comparative claims of the
various leaders of his party, and would he the
last man to follow the suggestions of the
shameless mercenaries of his late opponent.
The Richmond Enquirer, too ventures to
suggest little sage counsel with regard to the
claims of the New York politicians. As COM
ing from political friend, it may be more ac-
cePtable, but whether so, not it is at any rate
sensible. According to the Enquirer, Mr..
Buchanan is fortunate in having been elected,
without the assistance Of New York, and con-
sequently in being independent of her. He
may, without personal embarrassment, call a
Marcy to preside over the foreign relations a
Seymour to represent it's interests abroad q
Dickinson, or Wood or Dix, to perform some
| other function but should at once inform the
np1 nf not ho -
obligation to them, and that they can expect
nothing from him, except as mere gratuity.
a judicious parsimony in the dispensation OF
patronage, may induce even the politicians
of New York, to something like decency and
decorum in the pursuit of spoils.
The New Orleans Delta restricts itself to the
humble Office of specuIating as to the probabl.
composition Of the Cabinet and the principle,
which will probably control the appointment.
The fact that Mr. Buchanan owes his election
almost exclusively, to the South, will not, il
thinks, give . decided prominence to tn,
Southern men, and to Southern policy bu
that statesmen, Of capacity, experience ant
modesty will be called from all parts of tn,
Union to the Cabinet counsels An exception
may perhaps be made to the devotion, and ei
