GOV. GILMER AND THE CABINET.
A letter writer at Washington, say*, the name of
Gov. Gilmer has been spoken of, amongst others, for
a cabinet appointment.
This is a sugar plumb, to reconcile Gov. Gilmer to
tlie course of iiis party, in the late Senatorial elec
tion—for no man who has sen-e enough to find his
e laid hold of and \ way to \\ ashington, can believe, that any Individual
opposed to a National Rank, will be placed in Gen.
Harrison’s Cabinet. No strict constructionist is to
have part or lot in that ' . w ns.

constitution, and powers sufficiently strong to over
rule the government itself; placing in its hands, all
the revenues of the government, upon which to Rank
and speculate, ami grew rich upon the use of the
peoples money. And they arc the men who pro-
j tiounce it partial, to loan the people money, in a time

Pile course of the Harrison party, upon this sub

But tlie weight of debt which is hanging over them,

When their property comes to the block, where will
tlie money be found to purchase it ? And what will

Look around, in your own community, and tell

And it' there lie any, will they use it to relieve tlie dis-

I have to thank my good fortune more than my

Since writing the tlie above, a friend lias place I
in mi band, Governor McDonald’s Message, to tic
legislature, urg ing tlie necessity of adopting some ef
ficient measure for the relief of the people, before
their adjournment—a document which does honor to
his head and his heart, and justly entitled him to tin-
proud appellation of a public benefactor—liir siicli
is the man, who does all in his power, to ameliorate
t lie condition of his country.
And is it i.ot sin prising, that after the subject was
so earnestly pr< ssed upon their consi leration, by the
Governor, that so far fioia making an effort to carry
out his beneficent view s, the majority should still
have persisted in their head long course? uiihss itwas
to illustrate the maxim, that “whom God intends to
destroy, he first makes mad.”
1 iliiuk tlie uieiubi rs from this county, will find it
a difficult task to explain their conduct in a satisfac
tory manner to their constituents; and if’ I am not
j greatly mistaken, “Harrison and Reform,” will be
dead stock, in this market, before the first day of next
October.
I have already extended this letter beyond the limit
