THE CABINET.

The military information and experience of general Armstrong—the energy and vigour of his mind, combined with his incorruptible principles of republicanism—are sure pledges that the war department will be filled with ability.

The republican virtues of colonel Monroe, united with his information and good sense—inform us that there is nothing to fear in the state department.

Capt. Jones is represented as possessing fine abilities and a complete knowledge of the business in which he is engaged; his independence and republicanism never was questioned.

We may venture to affirm that the navy department will be much benefitted by the appointment of Jones.

With such men as these in the cabinet, and Gallatin out of it—much is to be expected in future from the executive department, whilst guided by the virtue and wisdom of James MADISON.

For a federalist to be taken into favor, he need only denounce the policy of the enemy, declare the war just on our part, or applaud the military spirit of the people, and office and honour are immediately conferred upon him.—So seldom do we meet with honest federalism now-a-days that it ought to be rewarded.

Bayard declared there was cause enough of war—Ogden toasted the military ardour of the times, and ordered out the militia—Quincy Adams acknowledged the Embargo a wise measure, and Pinckney abused the British ministry.—They have all been promoted and taken into fellowship. Should the late election have weakened John Randolph's faith in the 'Bulwark of our holy Religion,' he need only renounce his creed and he is sure of the first vacancy in the cabinet or in the army.
