MIR. BUCHANAN,s CABINET.

The oracle hath spoken, and we are about as wise
as-wewere before. Thecentral organ hath openes its
mouth and 10 and behold, the following revelation
unto the country issued thereffom. We quote from
the Washington Union of the 9Th instant, as follows:

We are glad the Union has no serious intentions
too conjectures. This country is mighty in all the
elements Of strength, but if the Union should go to
conjecturing we know not what would become Of it.
1t might survive the awful irfiction and it might
not. We are also gratfed that the organ ! doesn't
intend to discuss the probable composition of Mr..
Buchanan's Cabinet If it should, we don't Eaow
whether Old Buck or his future Cabinet would
suffer most. That both would writhe under the
operation is unquestionably probable. zaa
1t will be source Of pleasure to the people to be
convinced that the present editor of the Union
whose chair will be taken by Maine politician OF
equivocal antacedents on the 4th Of March neAt--
feels a conviction that when the Cabinet is

We hope so from the bottom Of our heart; and if it
is entitled to that confidence it shall receive due
credit so far as our humble influence goes. Still we
regret to say that place little reliance upon the
assurances of our Washing ion contemporary. who
speaks though he Wished the public to believe that
he had really something to say when he hasn't any
thing Of the smallest moment to reveal. The
g organ !. Is ling to play, anxious to play, and
would play, were there any vitality in the poitlca
breezes that blow across the federal metropolis.
The foregoing eho.s of the Union to enlighten thu
good people Of the United States can have no othe
effect than to tt-ow them completely ID the darl
than they were before, if such thing be possible
All the editor E1ows is that during the visit of thu
