CABINET MAKING, of course, continues to be the
principal matter talked over here Just now among
the thousand Republican party leaders In this
city. Among them we find nearly all OF that Der
suasion who have been conspicuous in Compress
In the last ten or twelve years Half of them. II
not more, want offices for themselves, and in
"legging' for this or that aspirant for a cabinet
portfolio, are merely laying their own anchors to
windward
The Washington letter writers seem each to
have ''slate'' Of bis own; no two Of them agree
Ing with reference to the existing probabilities Of
the Gaze. Among those O. inside the ring Il Is
clear that the radicals realize that the new admin
isuaton Is TO be decidedly pro-union in its pro-
cllvities. That is TO say: is not to reflect the
Views of the Greeleyites upon the great question
ofthe times. From Messrs Giddings and Greeley
down, all known as sympathizing in their views
Of the fitness of things In terrible stew to-day
significant, eminently, Of the fact that they are
aware that their bullying game played Yesterday
has proved dead failure
We have no confidence in any OF the "slates',
being published by our cotemporaries as whole
yet we are confident that the Cabinet will be
made up OF conservative influences; a matter Of
greater importance TO the country just now than
ever before. As, IL the new Administration should
fall to command the confidence Of the friends of
the Union In the border slaveholding States and
the North, the most disastrous consequences would
speedily ensue Without the backing Of con-
servatism in the new national government, the
coming struggle for the Union In the border States
will be hopeless one; while, unless the real
Unionis.s Of the North are satisfied that prudent
and conciliatory counsels are to prevail here the
policy OF the new Administration with reference
to secession will carry as little effective weight
thong I'D arVere simply the policy of the editorial
rooms or the New York Tribune.
p. S.-From the best sources Of information
now within our reach, as we go to press, we are
impressed with the belief that the following Cab
met appointments have been positively deter
mined on, viz: Messrs. Seward, Cameron, Caleb
b. Smith, Gideon Wells, and Bates
