The New ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cabinet Made
up At Last.
The Cabinet Of Mr.. Buchanan, it seems, is
made up at last, although we are not yet autho-
relatively informed of its definite classification.
According to our Washington despatch of this
morning, which comes from reliable aud well
informed source, J. Clancy Jones, Of Penusylvar
MIA, is, and all the time has been, decided upon
for the Office of Postmaster General The new
Cabinet will, therefore, be composed of the fol-
lowing individuals and probably under the fol-
lowing arrangement
State Deps rtms Lewis Cas- Michigan
Treasury Department. ........ Howell Cobb, Ca
Iaterior Depat Jacob Thou p,oo, Miss
war uepsrtment.. ........... join Floyd, Va
Navy Depart uent.. Aaron '. Brown, Tenn
Attorney General. Isaac Toucey, Conn
This has the look of a homogeneous Cabinet,
and particularly sound aud harmonious upon the
great disturbing issue of slavery. sa:h is the
happy consequence Of going to work in the right
way. Between Pierces method Of choosing a
Cabinet and that Of his successor, there is as
great difference as between ducks known as red
necks and genuine canvass-backs. Poor Pierce
ooked TO the party aud to the various
ultra factions and cliques of the party, aud
hese he attempted to work up into
| specimen Of Cabinet mosaic, upon the dema-
gogue's idea that no administration can be held
together except by "the cohesive power Of the
public plumber" The plan adopted by Mr.. Blu
chansn was, first to settle upon the principles
and general policy Of his administration, and
then TO shape his Cabinet accordingly. He has
commenced, too, exactly where poor Pierce
should have commenced, upon the basis of the
Union and conservative principles embodied in
the compromise acts of 1850, and has given US
the strongest possible embodiment of those pria-
ciples in bis Cabinet selections
General Cass has been objected to as some what
too old and infrm for the laborious duties which
will devolye upon the Premier; and Mr. Cobb it
is generally agreed, from his more vigorous
health, strength and elasticity, was the man for
the Slate Department This, we are assured
was the opinion also Of Mr.. Buchanan; but Il was
overIuled by a party combination against Nc
Cobb as Premier, which could not very well be
disregarded by President disposed to cultivate
to almost any reasonable extent the peaos of the
family. With General Cas-, however, a. Score.
taly Of State, instead Of Mr.. Cobb, the Southern
ultras have secured more than they bargained
for: inasmuch as their man and their plan was
Robert J. Walker, wandering stockjobber, a
fire-oater aud a iibuster with all the modern
improvements" These appointments of Cas-
and Cobb, therefore, constitute most important
act and great victory over the ilibusters aud
the secession and abolition disunionists at the
very outset
IL appears, notwithstanding all the various
rumors Of this man, that man aud the other
for Postmaster General, with which the cabinets
Of the Washington Cabinet makers have been
garnisbed OF late that there never has been any
difficulty whatever with Mr.. Buchanan upon the
subject, but that J. Clancy Jones has been his
ments and flying rumors concerning this Office,
may doubtless be traced to the efforts Of Colonel
Forney's friends to crowd him into the Cabinet
after bis defeat for the Senate. Mr.. Jones II a
conservative of the school of Mr.. Buchanan him
sch, was the particular champion Of "Od Buck"
In Congress last spring bis especial working
man at the Cincinnati Convention, and Is the
representative Of "Old Berks,r the county which
In the turning point Of the last October election,
led the way. Such are the party claims Of Mr.
Jones; hut, in addition to these, we are assured
that be is capable faithful and industrious, and
talented and energetic man of business We
are entirely prepared TO believe that he will
prove vast improvement upon our Postmsste
Campbell.
The other members of the new Cabinet are
more generally known. In the aggregate they
form avery decided expression Of the conserya-
tive Union principles of Mr.. Buchanan and a
