mr.. Buchanan's acknowledgements Of
Faction, Discord and Mutiny.

Mr.. BuchanAp's Cabinet still remains riddle
the Premier l. still the unsettled question; and,
more painfully than ever, the Washington Cab-
net makers are oscillating between Cobb, Cas-
and Walker Meantime, we hear nothing enl
see nothing TO Justify change Of our own opin-
IONS that Mr.. Cobb is the right man for the time,
the place and the new administration; that he
stands foremost in the inclinations OF tie Presi-
dent elect, and that from the peculiar fitness Of
things In his case, and from the practical COM
mon sense views Of Mr. Buchanan, the probabili-
ties are decidedly in favor Of the young states
man Of Georgia for the State Department.
Resting here upon this particular issue, for the
present, we find our attention withdrawn from
wheatland TO the equivocal and ominous move
ments of various cliques aud factions in the
democratic party since the election. These
movements are worthy of notice, because they
are significant Of discord and treachery in the
camp. and of the same troubles aud perplexities
TO Mr. Buchanan that have broken down poor
Pierce should the former be persuaded to follow
the ingorious course OF the latter in temporizing
and compromising himself with this or that dis
organizing faction, whose only policy is rule or
ruin. We have shown that Mr. Buchanan
enjoys the advantageous position Of perfect
Independence OF sn cliques and factions-that,
having no second term of Office TO ask, he has
no displeasure OF this man or that man. this
clique or that clique Of the party 10 fear; but that
being elected in spite of the demoralized and
broken up democracy, upon the basis Of the con-
sentative Union sentiment OF the country, that
sentiment and that alone, should be his chart and
compass in the selection of his Cabinet, the prin-
ciples Of bis inaugural aud the whole policy of
bis administration.
No sooner. however had Mr.. Buchanan de-
clared in his address TO the young Lancaster stu
dents at Wheatland that he had fixed upon a
broad national conservative Union policy invov-
ing the destruction Of all disorgauizng fac
lions as the policy OF his administration, Than
these movements Of faction and trcacuery in the
camp actively commenced. The democratic de-
ftctions in The Legislature at Harrisburg against
