The North Carolina Standard

EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.

From recent indications, we may suppose the following may form the cabinet of the next President—euphoniously styled, by his friends "Old Tip."

Daniel Webster, of Mass. Secretary of State.
Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney General.
John Bell, of Tenn. Secretary of the Navy.
T. Ewing, of Ohio, Post Master General.
Thaddeus Stevens, of Penn. Sec. of War.

The above are all of which report speaks with certainty. It is not supposed that North Carolina will come in for any share in the prominent appointments, notwithstanding the recommendation of "Ajax" Badger to Old Tip, as Attorney General. Some inferior appointments have been spoken of as likely to be given to the log-cabin Orators such as U. S. Attorney for N. Carolina, Collector of the port of Wilmington, and U. S. Marshal—for any of which Mr. Badger may stand a good chance—notwithstanding the sneers of the Charleston Mercury—pretending not to know such a man; calling him Baxter and Botcher! We can tell the Mercury that Mr. Badger has a stupendous notoriety throughout a territory of at least 3 miles square, bounded north by Crabtree, &c.; that he has at least a dozen admirers—with whom, not to know this gentleman is to know but little or nothing—Botcher, indeed!

The following is the article from the "Mercury," above alluded to:

"Distressing.—The Nawth Kaleena Whigs are certainly richly entitled to the indignant sympathies of the universal Whig party. Old Tip has treated them in a way any thing but respectfully and friendly. In his hot haste to fill his cabinet while his hand is yet on the latch, he has made Crittenden Attorney General, in contemptuous obliviousness of the fact that the Whig caucus of Old Rip's Legislature had most disinterestedly volunteered an appointment to the place in the person of a Mr. Baxter or Botcher, or somebody else, whose name we forget, but a great man in Nawth Kaleena. What's worse, the old fellow does not seem to have thought of any other Nawth Kaleenian for any place. The least he can do when he is really in, will be to forward to the Chairman of the caucus a blank commission to be filled up out of that honorable body, at its own discretion, for the Consulship of the Island of Tom-gad-a-booh or of the Scilly Islands. Let the old man look to it, or beware of the Great Dismal. He may swamp his nominee successor before the 4th of March, if he goes on so; for every body says its Mr. Clay's doing."
