Especial Correspondence of the Nashville Patriot.l

Ca6inet-Dred Scott Cass-BucE's IadecisiOn.
WAsHINeroN, March z, 1857.
The Cabinet is at last determined and fixed,
and ex Governor Brown finds himself at the
tail end. Forney has triumphed in oustiug
GlancyJones, and bringing Black into the Cab
met. The small fry are now beginning to STIR
Many ex Members of Congress, ex-Goyernors,
and Others of less note, including some ''old-
line-whigs, are seeking nissions. It's rumor-
ed that the President will recall all, even Dali
| las, who has rendered himself so notorious of
late by the famous Dallas Clarendon treaty
The Supreme Court yesterday rendered its
decision in the bred Scott slave case, deciding
the Missouri Compromise to be unconstitution-
al, negro not to be citizen of the United
States, denying the power of the States to make
citizens of the United States, denying the
power of Congress to interdict or establish
slavery, or rather its power over this species
ofproperty, other than over all the descriptions
ofproperty. The decision sustains the South,
ern view of these controverted questions and
it is to be hoped that agitation win hence for
ward cease, though the dissenting opinion,
which is to be delivered to-day, will undoubt-
eddy serve to prevent the repose which would
follow the decision. The opinion discusses the
various questions raised deliberately, and l pre-
sumo viii be published. 1t is feared that Sec
tionslism has crept into the court, though

Curtis and Mclean are supposed to be the
dissenters Mclean could not do otherwise,
after permitting his name to go before the
Black Republican Convention for nomination
Presidential aspirants should not be allowed to
sit on the bench.
Notwithstanding the laudalion of the No
tiOn0L InteIEgencer, the inaugural is received
with very great dissati,faction. Even among
the democracy there are many who denounce'
the Pacific railroad endorsement, and others
Of the North denounce the opinion as to the
time when the people of territory may in
terdict slavery. The Supreme Court has de-
cided that Congress cannot confer this power
on territory. The Northern democracy say
they cannot stand upon this at home. Jones
withdrew from the Cabinet, so say bis friends,
because of the avowal of this opinion; and it
10 also said that Cass demonstrated against it.
Pennsylvania is regarded as hopelessly lost to
the democracy, because Of these troubles, but
one who know the influence Of money in that
State, must take this information with many
grains of allowance Bucks INDIGESTION has
caused much fear among his friends. They
fear this popularity will break down his ad-
ministration before il fairly commences. He
can't say no, and is afraid to say yes, and it is
likely both sides will become dissatisfied; in a
word, be is to be another Pierce, without
courage enough to exercise the authority vest
ed in him. As an instance of this, many are
now urging him TO select wings for several
foreign missions, and radical democrats, whoare
hungry, threaten him with vengeance, awful and
terrible vengeance, if be wantonly disregards
the ancient maxins of their party, that Is to
given no crumbs to any bit democrats. Be-
tween these two Buck halts and is likely to
stay halted until public necessity or private
eutreaties compel him to decide. 49,,
