EEM EAW NAu
RrAoRED RErIREMESr or SecRErARY CAS-.
We have learned to pay Indifferent heed to ru-
mors respecting Cabinet changes ard kindfaa
topics, but the following derives some impor,
lance from the fact Of its appearing in d
Detroit paper, NE Advertiser
We hear 4 rnn1or that Gen. Cass, very prob
ably, will not remain much longer in Mr.. Bu-
chanan's Cabinet. The rumor oomes from q
source 50 intimately connected with General
Gass, and so likely u be privately posted with
regard 10 his feelings, that we are inclined TO
place considerable reliance upon it, or rather
that such a thing has been rolling over III his
mind.
1t is to be remembered, however, saws The
n. x. Commercial, that the Detroit Adyer-
tlser is not Of General Cass's political faith.
andfs not likely to be in his confidence. Nor
does It pretend to be. It's editor is on the spot,
however, where correct information is likely to
be obtained. The Advertiser attributes Tie
distinguished sccreiary's dissatisfaction. not to
disagreement with the President on any lead
ing political question. but to the Secretary's
dislike to the Presidents excessive exercise Of
biz power Of removing public officers Il, his
efforts to enforce thereby unity Of opinion on
the Kansas question. Possibly there is some
truth in this.
