Gen. Dockery and the Western Extension.

The Fayetteville Observer, with its characteristic
mildness and charity, speaks Of "the Sk"lking at
tempt of the locofocos to throw upon Gen. Dockery
the responsibility for the action of the Legislature
on one Of its most important bills" Now, there has
been no such attempt to hrow" this responsibility
on Gen. Dockery for the simple reason that it is on
him already. The facts, as We have stated them,
cannot be controverted. They are of record, and
no attempt" on the part of the Observer, or any
one else can alter them. The people of the trans.
montana Counties fully informed on the subject
and they kno that Gen. Dockery is responsible for
the defeat of Mr.. Avery's bill.
The Observer promises an Authoritative state
ment' on the subject which, says that paper. twill
put the saddle on the right horse" We think the
saddle will remain where it s-on the "old wheel.

The CABlNEr-The following is the latest guess
as to tie composition Of Mr. Buchanans Cabinet {:
Lewis ass, Secretary Of State; Howell Cobb Of the
Treasury; John B. Floyd, Of War; Aaron V. Brown,
of the Navy Jacob Thompson, of the Interior; j..
} Clancy Jones, Postmaster General; Isaac Toucey,
Attorney General. We think it almost certain that
Gen. Cass and Mr.. Cobb will be in the Cabinet.
Jacob Thompson is native of Caswell County, in
this State. Mr.. Brown. now Of Tennessee, is native
Of Brunswick County, Va, and is in the GID year
of his age. The ancestors Of Gov. Cobb, we believe
were from Lenor County, in this State.
