Where Are The Federalists?—To this question, asked by a Loco Foco paper in New Hampshire, a Whig journal in the same State gives the following, satisfactory answer:
Henry Hubbard now resides at Charlestown in the region where he got up a meeting to sustain the Hartford Convention; Samuel Cushman is now at Portsmouth, holding an appointment under the present Administration, Cyrus Barton has lately been appointed by President Polk Marshal for the District of New Hampshire; James Buchanan is now, as Secretary of State, assisting President Polk to the settlement of the Oregon question with England; George Bancroft is his Secretary of War; Louis McLane has been sent as Minister to England; A. H. Everett to China. Roger B. Taney is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; Charles Lane is now Editor of the Belknap Gazette and Moreover Senator for that strong Loco District, No. 6; Robert P. Dunlap, formerly called "Young Tim Pickering" for his excessive Federal zeal, is now a Loco Representative from Maine.
Is the Gazette man's anxiety for his old friends satisfied?
